Quick Overview of Custom Vinyl Banners

Vinyl banners are typically sold by the square foot. Our vinyl banners start at $2.69 per sqft, so as an example: A full-color large banner printed at 8' x 10' (80 sqft) made from 13 oz vinyl with grommets and hems costs $215.20. This price includes the standard 3-day turnaround and the printing cost but excludes shipping and taxes, should they apply.

They are made of a premium 13 oz vinyl matte finish scrim material that is durable and waterproof. Additionally, 18 oz vinyl is available for multi-sided signs.

The vinyl banner material is fed through large format printers, and ink is distributed onto the banner based on the artwork file. Finishing options such as hems, grommets, or pole pockets are then added to the banner. The banner is then rolled up and packaged to go.

Designing your banner is fast and easy with a Design Tool complete with free stock images, banner templates, and free customer service.

Finishing options are unique to each product. Typical Finishing Options include Hems, Grommets, and Pole Pockets.

Hems are used to help re-enforce the vinyl edges to protect against high winds and to help add tear resistance and are also needed when using grommets. Hems are typically used on all four edges of a vinyl banner. Hems are created when a one inch portion of the vinyl material is folded back over itself, pressed flat, and then heat welded to seal.

Metal Grommets are nickel and usually placed around the edges of the vinyl to help hang them. Grommets have a small hole in the middle, so the piece can easily be hung almost anywhere. Grommets placed in all four corners help hold a display in place without too much movement. Large vinyl banners with grommets placed every two feet are usually recommended to help support the banner's weight.

Pole Pockets are helpful if you want to hang your vinyl banner on a backdrop stand or other pole or tube like option. Pole Pockets are created when a portion of the vinyl material is rolled back over itself and sealed to create a 4” loop in the vinyl. A 2” tube, dowel, or PVC type cylinder can then slide through the loop so that the design can hang almost anywhere. A ‘Top Pole Pocket' is a popular option, but you can also choose ‘Top and Bottom Pole Pockets,' ‘Left and Right Pole Pockets,' and ‘All Sides Pole Pockets' as well.

Since most 13 oz vinyl is placed against a home, business, or even fencing, they are usually singled sided. Our single sided vinyl banners are printed on the front side of the banner, while the back of the banner remains white. See our 18 oz banner printing for double-sided signs.

Double sided vinyl banners are popular for hanging at outdoor events or indoor trade shows where full color printing can be seen on both sides. Hems, Grommets, and Pole Pockets can still be used on a double sided banner. For double sided banners, opt for our 18 oz vinyl.

If you already have your artwork sized exactly to your product, you can complete your purchase and file upload. Once your checkout is complete, you can upload your artwork and view and approve the proof on the following page.

You can also design your artwork using the free online Design Tool. Once you finish your design and add it to your cart, you can complete your purchase. Next, you will need to view your proof and approve it before it goes to print. If you need help uploading your artwork, you can chat, email, or call us directly!

As soon as you upload your artwork file or design online, you can view and approve a proof of the artwork uploaded. Approval means that you have checked to ensure that your artwork size matches the exact dimensions of the product you ordered, the resolution is correct for the size being printed (preferably 300dpi for better quality), and the color mode is CMYK. The best way to ensure quality is to check your artwork at full size (100%). Is it crisp and clear? Or is it pixelated? Once you approve your proof, your artwork file goes directly to the printers.

Printmoz banners are made of a premium 13 ounce scrim vinyl banner. The material is extremely durable, withstands outdoor weather conditions, and is strong enough to be mounted on freeway Billboards.

Photoshop and Illustrator are popular options to design your vinyl banner. A free option would be the online Design Tool. It includes thousands of free stock images to help you get started. Another free option is to select one of the many Custom Templates on the website. You can then edit the template with your personalized information.

Yes, printing on both sides of the banner in full color is a great option. Hems, Grommets, and Pole Pockets are also an option on double sided banners.

Full color is always included at no extra charge. Printing is done using UV protected ink in four colors: CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black). Banner printing is more affordable when the ink is free!

Vinyl banners are seamless unless you are printing a banner that is larger than 196”. For large banner printing over 196”, they will be seamed together. The seams traditionally can not be seen from the printed side. However, this depends on how large the sign is.

Our banners are made of a premium matte scrim material, but the UV inks have a matte finish. Gloss vinyl is a special order and can be arranged if you speak with a customer support team member.

Two popular options for placing grommets on a vinyl banner are ‘Corners Only” and ‘Every Two Feet.' ‘Corners Only' is great for most banners of any size, but if you go BIG, select our ‘Every Two Feet' option. Larger banners are heavier so tying them down in multiple places is always a good idea.

Pole Pockets are difficult to create when a vinyl banner has hems and grommets because the material is not as flexible, so the two finishing options are not offered together.

It is streamlining the online banner printing process with state of the art grand format printers and proprietary software that pushes each order through from ‘point of sale' to shipping. Because everything is done in house, the prices are lower than the competition while still providing top quality products with one full business day turnaround.

Custom banner printing starts the moment you approve your artwork, and it is sent to the printers. Exclusive software reads your file and prints your order to your exact specifications. Uploading the correct artwork in CMYK, sized exactly to your product's dimensions, using a resolution of 300dpi or higher, and saved as a Vector PDF is the best way to achieve optimal results.

Some of the most popular standard vinyl banner sizes are 60”x 24”, 48” x 36”, 72” x 36”, 60”x 36”, 84”x 36”, 96”x48”, as well as a very popular 6'x10' size. If you are ordering a banner placed on someone else's property, check to see if there are any size regulations before ordering.

Each order is custom made using the details you enter and the artwork file you upload. The automated system reads your order details and sends them directly to the printers.

Vinyl can be cut into a square, rectangle, or triangle. If you need another custom shape, just contact us. No matter the banner size, you'll always get a smooth finished edge and flush cut edge.

Vinyl banners are made of a vinyl scrim material that is moisture, weather, and fire resistant.

Vinyl banners are lightweight, flexible, and durable. They are thin enough to roll up but thick enough to withstand adverse weather conditions.

Large Format printing, or Grand Format printing, is the process of printing large material like a 196” banner. Very few professional sign shops can print these sizes and still keep prices lower than the competition.

When it comes to marketing and advertising, most customers search for the best quality at the lowest price. Vinyl banners are not only one of the most affordable options, they really get noticed! Banner printing service includes full vibrant color for the most vivid products on the market.

Yes, printing both horizontal and vertical banners are easy in any size. Vertical banners are very popular for hanging from multi-story buildings. If you are hanging your banner, make sure to order it with hems for reinforcement and grommets to help hang it.

They are great for trade shows and can easily be rolled up and stored in a cylinder tube to transport (or the shipping tube that it might have come with). They can be hung almost anywhere. Retractable Banners or X Banner stands come with the attached display; no hanging is required. Premium Retractable banner stands are both lightweight and portable. They can be placed anywhere at your trade show and moved often if needed.

Our banners are made of durable, weatherproof vinyl scrim material. With our outdoor banner printing, you can leave your banner outside in the direct sun, overnight in cold temperatures, and during rainy days. The banner may eventually show some wear if you live in an area with relentless, extreme conditions.

13 oz Vinyl banners can withstand normal windy days, but if your area has constant high winds, we recommend a mesh banner. Mesh banners filter the wind, so the wind flows through the mesh, causing less strain on the mesh banners. The mesh banners are printed in full vibrant color with CMYK ink and look amazing when used for outdoor advertising!

The UV protected ink used, just like the banner material it is printed on, was selected because it can withstand the normal everyday elements and still remain vibrant and clear.

The clarity of an image on a banner depends on the artwork you upload. If your image is high resolution with at least 300 dpi (dots per inch) and sized to the exact measurements of the printed photo, it should look great! But you also want to make sure that the original photo is not too dark and isn't blurry. Images on our promotional materials look amazing and so realistic!

Vinyl banners can be printed as big as you need. Consider a few things if you want your banner to be seen from afar. For best results, make sure your message is clear, use text that is large and easy to read, use colors that complement each other, and then make your banner large enough to accommodate your message without looking too crowded. Billboard banners along the highway are typically 14' x 48'.

There are three popular ways to hang a banner. If you order your banner with hems and grommets, you can easily hang it using rope, zip ties, or bungee cords. If you order your project with a top ‘pole pocket,' you can slide up to a 2” (in circumference) dowel or a cylinder type pole or PVC into the ‘pocket' to hang it. Backdrop stands are also made to hang your design with a pole pocket. A third popular way is to use clamps to attach the banner to a stand or fencing.

Storing your banner is easy and convenient. If your vinyl banner was shipped in a round cylinder tube, then it is best to store your banner in that. Just roll it up, so it slides right into the tube, put the lid back on it, and store it almost anywhere. Depending on the size of your banner, the tube shouldn't take up too much space.

Removing wrinkles from your banner is easy in just a few easy steps. If you have an iron, select the lowest setting. Then place a thin towel over the project and test a small area by lightly pressing the iron over the towel. Then check the banner to make sure it didn't get too hot. Any wrinkles should easily come out using this method.

Cleaning your banner is quick and easy. Use warm water, gentle dish soap, and a soft washcloth to help remove any dust, dirt, or debris. Then rinse the soap off. Dry with a soft towel or hang it to dry.

Unfortunately, at this time, we do not offer free shipping on 13 oz vinyl or 18 oz vinyl banner printing. Check with a friendly customer service representative for additional active promos and sales before checkout!

Standard turnaround is 2-3 business days plus transit times, which may vary depending on where the order is shipping. A good rule of thumb is to place your order 7-10 business days before the in-hand or dead drop date. As an additional option, we offer next-day and same-day production on all orders under 2500 sqft, so if you have an extra tight deadline, you can place your order and have it as fast as 1-2 business days.

Although a 13 oz vinyl scrim is the standard 18 oz offers additional thickness and double sided print options 13 oz does not offer. Business professionals are always looking for the longest lasting signage to delivery their advertizing message. In the end the 18 oz scrim is more sturdy and will hold up better in high winds and would be the superior choice.
