Do your banners come with grommets?
Yes. Our standard finishing option is heat welded hems with grommets. Brass, stainless steel or plastic grommets are placed in all four corners and every 2-4 feet around the banner perimeter. Visit our vinyl banner finishing options page for more information.
Am I limited to the number of colors on my banner?
No.We digitally print our banners in full CMYK color. Our full color vinyl banners include unlimited color, text, graphics, and images.
If you are looking for a cost-effective option with just text, then we also offer text only banners that include a white background with colored text.
Can I get a double-sided banner?
Yes, you can order a double-sided banner in our 13-oz. scrim vinyl and our 18-oz. Heavy-duty matte vinyl materials.
Can I get a special size banner?
Yes. We can print vinyl banners seamlessly up to 16’ x 50’, but if you need a special size banner, then please contact us for a custom quote.
How do I hang my banner?
Our banners are finished with grommets in every corner and at intervals of 2-4 feet around the perimeter. We strongly recommend that you use bungee cords to hang your banner. Grommets work best together, so we also strongly recommend using all of the grommets that come with your product—doing this will help prevent your banner from tearing.
Can I get wind slits in my banner?
We do not recommend wind slits in banners; therefore, we do not offer them.
Will my printed product look exactly the same as it does on my computer monitor?
Because computer displays can vary greatly in color representation, we cannot guarantee that the printed product will look precisely the same as it appears on your screen.
If you have concerns about color management, we do offer a color matching service for a fee. Reach out to customer service to get started on a color match proof.
Design & Design Tool
How do you use the Online Designer?
We have a wonderful blog post about how to use the online designer with easy to follow instructions.
When will I see my proof?
After selecting the proof option, you will be emailed a proof that you must send a reply email of approval before your order goes into production. You will not be charged until you have approved your proof.
Can I include logos or graphics on my banner?
Yes, you can include logos and graphics to your banner design. You can either upload your own graphics, grab some clipart from our design tool or work with one of our knowledgeable customer service reps to create the design that you want.
How do I get in contact with a graphic designer to help me with my design?
You have two options to get design assistance. You can either select “Let Us Design” from the design method panel, or you can call customer service to speak with a live, friendly, and knowledgeable human.
Can I get a color match?
We offer color matching services for a fee. A color match proof will be generated for you. Please note that our printers only print in CMYK color, so if your file is in RGB, some color shifting will occur.
What file types can I upload using the design tool?
These are the acceptable files for printing.
- EPS (Encapsulated Post Script)
- PDF (Adobe PDF)
- PSD (Adobe Photoshop)
- JPG (High Resolution JPEG)

Is your printing done height by width (H x W) or width by height (W x H)?
The size orientation order that we use is height by width. It is denoted as H x W on our product pages.
Which file type works the best for my logo?
Logos are almost always vector files. Vector art is basically mathematically created lines and curves. This file type can be resized to large sizes without becoming pixelated.
