Q:
How do I create a picture or photo banner?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Click “Get Started!” and choose the blank template option. You can also choose the blank template option from our Popular Templates section on the custom vinyl banners page. Once you’re on our design tool, click “Upload Image” and select your file to upload. The file types we accept are listed in the previous question and the maximum size photo file you can upload is 25MB. Once your picture has been uploaded, arrange it how you want it on the banner and add any text you want accompanying it. Make sure you view your proof before purchasing your photo banner. You can also send us a description so we can design something for free.

Q:
Does vinyl work for outside banners/signs or outdoor advertising?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Yes, vinyl is a very durable outside option since this material is weather and water resistant. Our custom vinyl banners have an internal fabric that makes them stronger and better able to handle sunny, rainy, snowy and windy weather days. However, we do suggest taking your banner down if inclement weather comes your way.
Q:
What size does my large banner need to be in order to be seen from 'x' distance?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

When it comes to the letters on your banner, think big. If your letters are 4” tall, 40 feet is the furthest optimal distance for viewers to visibly read the sign. If you make your letters 15”, then the furthest optimal impact distance is 150 feet. A general rule is letter height needs to be 1” for every 10 feet of visibility. Having said this, your sign will still be visible beyond the “furthest optimal distance” and is typically viewable 3-4.5x farther than the maximum optimal distance. For example, 3” letters will be best viewed within 30 feet and will be able to be viewed at a maximum distance of approximately 90’-135’.

Other considerations that impact viewability include: where you place your sign, what the viewers will be doing when seeing your sign (walking, driving, standing still), lighting, colors used, design of the sign and your target market’s eyesight. Once you choose your letter height, you can determine what size your large banner needs to be to fit your letters, clearly display your message and look good.

In a nutshell our best advice is to think big and simple with your banner and letter size to have the greatest impact. If you’re still unsure of how big your sign should be feel free to contact us and we’d be happy to help!

Q:
Are your 13 oz vinyl banners really suitable for outdoors? What about your 18 oz vinyl banners?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Yes, our 13 oz vinyl banners are suitable for outdoor use. The 13 oz material is sufficient for displaying in most weather conditions, including in rain and light wind. The UV ink we use to print your design is fade and abrasion resistant, adding to the overall durability of your banner. For a thicker and heavier banner, we recommend choosing the 18 oz vinyl banner material; the heavier material will improve resistance to wind and give added rigidity in such conditions. Our 18 oz banners, like our 13 oz banners, are exceptional for outdoor display.
Q:
What are typical uses for your custom vinyl banners?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
The typical uses for custom vinyl banners include: birthday parties, parades, grand openings, events, tradeshows and conferences, high school gyms and sports teams, outdoor advertising signs, anniversaries, reunions, now hiring signs, street signs, city events and holidays, roadside businesses (fireworks, pumpkins, fresh produce, etc.), churches and church events. Vinyl banners are one of the most versatile signage options of any sign type.
Q:
Will my banner printing scratch or rub off?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
No. Because all of our banners are printed using fade and abrasion resistant ink, your sign’s printing should remain intact and vibrant for several years.
Q:
Do you sell banners with pole pockets? What should I know about pole pockets and the ordering process?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Yes, we offer 3” tall, horizontal pole pockets for both our 13 oz and 18 oz vinyl banners. To add a pole pocket(s) to your banner, select the option in the design tool. Pole pocket locations will be indicated by dotted lines on the artboard of the design tool depending on which option you choose. While your design or text can be placed in this area we cannot make guarantees that it will be visible when sewn. We recommend avoiding putting any text or design elements inside the pole pocket areas as indicated on the design tool.

Pole pockets can be included on both single and double sided banners (double sided banners are only available in 18 oz vinyl). Pole pockets can be placed on the top only or both the top and bottom of the banner (bottom only pole pockets are not available). Adding pole pockets will slightly increase the cost of your banner.

Your banner size includes the pole pockets. As an example, a 24” high banner will have approximately 18” of space for your design if you were to select top and bottom pole pockets. If you need an exact amount of space for your design, we recommend adding 3-6” to your size to account for your pole pocket(s).

Please note that adding pole pockets to a 13 oz banner means there will not be the standard welded hem. For 18 oz banners, regardless of whether there are pole pockets or not, there is no welded hem.

Q:
Do you sell banners with Velcro? What should I know about them and the ordering process?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Yes, we can produce banners with Velcro. Though these banners are a custom order and in order to buy them you will need to contact us.

Velcro banners make an already versatile sign option into a sign that can be adapted for many purposes. We’ve produced Velcro banners for parades, sponsorships banners, annual sales and more. In all of these cases the majority of the banner remains the same year to year but a certain part is built with velcro so it can be switched as needed.

Banners with Velcro will have a Velcro portion as part of the actual banner itself. Additionally, customers oftentimes buy replaceable smaller banners (i.e. 24”x24”) with Velcro on the back side of the smaller pieces. These smaller pieces can then be swapped out on the bigger banner by using the Velcro on the back side of the smaller banners.

Q:
Do you sell banners with wind slits? What should I know about them and the ordering process?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

No, we not sell banners with slits. We’ve found that wind slits, which are designed to lessen the impact of high winds on a banner, often are ineffective in protecting a banner against high winds. We recommend that banners be taken down if extreme weather is imminent. If you live where high winds are frequent, we would recommend our mesh banners instead.
