About Vinyl Banners

Vinyl Banners are printed on high quality 13 oz scrim vinyl banner material. The scrim vinyl is a woven fiber inside the material that gives the banner extra strength. You can use banners indoors and outdoors for many different occasions.

Vinyl Banner Printing:

Vinyl banners are digitally printed in full color. You can select one of our  banner templates to customize in the online designer with our backgrounds, clip art and text. You can also upload your own images. 

Vinyl Banner Sizes:

You can get a custom banner size up to 16 feet by 50 feet in length. Some of the most common banner sizes are 2' x 4', 3' x 6', 4' x 8' and 5' x 10'. 

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 ft banner could finish with a 2.5 inch variance).   If your banner size needs to be precise, please ask your Customer Service Representative to discuss your specific application.

The maximum print for double sided banners is 150 square feet. If your banner is over 150 square feet, please contact us.

If you need a specific size print that is not listed as an option in the drop-down menu, please request a quote or contact a customer service representative. 1-866-419-SIGN or service@banners.com

Artwork Guidelines

For complete guidelines, please visit the artwork specifications page.

Files that print best are .eps or .ai (in version CS5 or lower) converted to outline. We can also print high resolution .pdf, .tif, and .jpg formats. Typically 300 dpi or higher is suitable for banners.

Color Match Proof System

We are continually improving our color controls and profiling to ensure the most accurate colors in the industry. However, due to many factors including file setup, display variances, print technology, RIP software, and specific substrate, nominal color variances are common.

If your project is color critical, we highly recommend using our Color Match Proof System, as this is the only way to 100% ensure color matching for your specific project. We have a team of friendly Customer Service Representatives who are all professional graphic designers to assist you with any questions you might have about your design colors.

For a fee of $45, we can produce a scaled down print of your design on the product material you want to purchase, and ship it to you free via UPS Ground. This includes a match of one color. Each additional color you wish to match will incur a $10 additional fee, with a max out at $100.

If you receive your sample print and are still not satisfied with any of the color options given, we can adjust the colors and reprint the sample until we get it right.

A vector file of your graphic is required for us to adjust the colors and provide alternative options for you to choose from.

Artwork Proofs

During the checkout process you can choose to have your artwork go straight into production after payment is received* or have an artwork proof emailed to you. The proof will include a low resolution image of your artwork, a summary of your order, pricing information, and your billing and shipping information. If you select an additional proof, you will have to email or call the customer service representative back with approval before your order will go into production.

*We review all artwork before putting it into production. If we notice that the quality of your artwork is too low for production, we will email you even if you didn't select the additional artwork proof.
