Five Customizable Banner Materials
Your banner is made with the finest materials available and printed using state-of-the-art, large format printers for vibrant colors that pop. All banners are manufactured and printed in the USA.
Exact sizes of banners cannot be guaranteed. Vinyl is a temperature sensitive material, and some fluctuation can occur due to heat application in printing, finishing, and outside climate. Please note our acceptable size variance is up to 1/2 inch per linear foot (ex. A 5' banner could finish with a 2.5" variance). If your banner needs to be precise, please ask your Customer Service Representative to discuss your specific application.

Can my first day of school banner be double-sided?
Kind of, our double sided banners are available in 3 material choices – 13-oz. gloss vinyl, 13-oz. matte vinyl, and 18-oz. extra heavy duty vinyl. Mesh and fabric banners are currently only available single sided.
How should I properly store the back to school banner that I ordered?
When your banner is not in use, we recommend rolling up your banner to decrease any creasing or physical wear. We also recommend that you store your banner in a cool, dry place to avoid water damage to the material, as well as ensuring that it is out of any direct sunlight that could affect the artwork over time.
What is the largest size banner I can order?
For this product the largest banner we can print is 8’ x 50’. Consider ordering an oversized banners if you need something larger.
How do I remove wrinkles from my welcome back to school banner?
The first and least hands-on approach is to simply unroll your banners and place them in the hot sun for a few hours and the wrinkles should come out.
The second option is more of a hands-on approach, and we recommend using a clothing steamer with a refillable water tank. Simply just use the steamer much like you would with a piece of clothing and this steamer should take the wrinkles right out!
