Business Banners

Select a material for your custom vinyl banner based on where it will hang—indoor retail, trade shows, outdoor signage, or windy exteriors. Every option is printed on large-format equipment for sharp, full-color graphics and is manufactured in the USA.

Size variance: Vinyl expands and contracts with heat during printing, finishing, and outdoor conditions. Finished sizes may vary by up to 1/2 inch per linear foot (for example, a 5′ banner may finish within about 2.5″). Need exact dimensions for a frame or hardware? Ask customer service before you order.

Vinyl Banner Finishing: Hems, Grommets, Reinforced Edges & Pole Pockets

Choose finishing that matches your install

Hems & Grommets	Reinforced Hems	Reinforced Corners	Pole Pockets
1″ fold, heat-welded hem with grommets spaced about every 2–4 feet—standard hanging for most custom vinyl banners.	PVC-coated webbing heat-welded around the perimeter for extra tear resistance on large outdoor banners and high-stress installs.	Corner vinyl patches plus grommets in each corner to reinforce high-load points on big banners and windy placements.	Folded sleeves for poles or rods—clean mounting for backdrop stands, street poles, and frameless displays.

Heat-welded hems & grommets

Hems fold 1″ of material and heat-seal it for a strong edge. We recommend hems on most vinyl banner orders to reduce edge stress during install and takedown.

Pick the hem layout that matches your hardware:

Top & bottom hems only – Common default for wide banners hung horizontally with cable or rope.	All four sides – Heat-welded hems and grommets on every edge when you need perimeter tie-downs or multi-point mounting.

Pole pockets

2″, 3″, or 4″ pockets wrap the top, bottom, or sides so a pole or rod slides through—no grommets needed through the pocket area.

• 2″ pole pockets – fits poles up to 3/4″ diameter
• 3″ pole pockets – fits poles up to 1 1/4″ diameter
• 4″ pole pockets – fits poles up to 1 1/2″ diameter

Pole pockets do not increase the finished banner size you order.

Not compatible with reinforced hems or reinforced corners.

Reinforced corners

Extra vinyl at each corner with grommets—helps prevent corner tears on large banners and rope-through installs.

Reinforced hems

Webbing bonded into the hem for maximum edge strength—best for oversized outdoor banners and repeated seasonal installs.

Cannot be combined with pole pockets.

Double-sided banner finishing

Double-sided banners can be finished up to 150 sq ft. Larger sizes need a custom quote.

We do not recommend wind slits. Learn why on our wind slit banners page.

Print-ready artwork guidelines

For the cleanest output on custom vinyl banner printing, submit vector art as .EPS with fonts converted to outlines. We also accept high-resolution PDF or JPG files when images and type are embedded at sufficient quality. Not sure your file is print-ready? Our prepress team can review and advise before production.

Artwork & order proofs

Request an order proof to confirm artwork, size, finishing, pricing, and ship-to details before we print. Your proof includes a low-resolution preview plus an order summary (including billing/shipping). Production starts after you approve—if you request a proof, we hold the job until we receive your approval.

Color Match Proof System

For color-critical brand work, add our Color Match Proof System to align output to your targets. Contact customer service to discuss your project and the best proofing path for your vinyl banner order.

Vinyl Banner Production Times: 1–5 Business Day Turnaround Options

Choose your production speed at checkout

Select how fast we manufacture your custom vinyl banner order—1 to 5 business days (production time only). Pick the option that matches your event date or install window; total arrival time also depends on the shipping method you choose.

• Orders approved after 5:00 PM CST start the following business day.
• Same-day or emergency rushes may be available—call customer service to confirm.
• Delivery = production time + shipping time.

1 business day — Priority

Fastest production for tight deadlines—choose Priority when you need your banners moving through the shop on the next available production day.

2 business days — Express

Still urgent, but not same-week critical? Express balances speed and schedule flexibility for most rush vinyl banner orders.

3 business days — Standard (most popular)

Our most-selected turnaround for everyday events and retail installs—fast production with a little more scheduling room.

5 business days — Saver

Lowest production cost when your in-hand date is flexible—best for planned promotions and reorder stock.
