How do I create a custom outdoor banner?

There are a few ways to create a custom banner. You can design your own with software and upload it to the printers. You can use an online design tool to create your artwork and add it to your cart. Or you can have a Graphic Designer design it for you.

Finishing options for your vinyl banner are things like hems, grommets and pole pockets. Hems are created when the edges of the banner are folded over itself and heat sealed, creating a new edge that is more durable. Grommets are used for hanging your banner. They are round pieces of metal with a circular area cut out of the middle in order to slip a rope, string, bungy cord or any other method used to hang your banner. Pole Pockets are when the upper edge of the banner is folder over itself but still leaves a gab big enough to slide a pole (usually a backdrop stand or PVC) through the hole in order to hang the banner or backdrop.

The banner below on the left has hems and grommets. The banner below on the right has a pole pocket.

What size backdrop should I order for a cake smash?

Cake smash photo shoots are usually done on a baby's first birthday but also can be done no matter how old the child is. If you have a one year old a good size vinyl banner or backdrop to start with would be at least 36" tall. The baby is usually sitting on the floor (or a 'floordrop'), but they might want to stand up and you don't want to miss that perfect shot! So I would recommened a 48"x 48" backdrop or vinyl banner if your baby tends to wander. And a 48"x 48" for a floordrop, usually a wood print looks great!

What size banner should I print for a party?

Banners and backdrops are popular at any kind of party. But what size should you have printed? It just depends on what you are using it for. Mug Shot banners or backdrops are popular at parties! How many people do you want in front of the mug shot at one time? One? Two? A group? If you want each person taking individual photos, your backdrop can be 36"x 36" backdrop to make sure that person fits in comfortably, especially if they are holding props. For two or three people, a 48"x48" banner or backdrop would be perfect. For a group of people you should get at least a 72"x 48" or bigger banner.

How big is an outdoor banner?

How long do outdoor banners last?

Outdoor vinyl banners are made to last years in typical outdoor conditions. Typical outdoor conditions are rainy, sunny and windy days. Conditions that are not very typical are hurricanes, tornados, persistant large size hail, fires and excessive, steady winds that can cause wear and tear over time. If you live in a high wind area, we have Mesh Banners that are made of a breathable mesh material and are perfect for those windy areas.

How do I take care of my banner?

Vinyl banners need minimal upkeep under normal circumstances. Our vinyl material can be washed with a mild soap (blue dawn is always a favorite) and warm water to keep the buildup of dust or dirt to a minimum. After washing you can hang your banners back up to dry or lay them flat. If your banner gets any wrinkles in it (maybe you folded it instead of rolled it), use this handy tip. Just lay your banner flat and set an iron on low heat and you can smooth out the wrinkles. You can also use a steamer on low heat to smooth out the wrinkles. The key is to use VERY LOW HEAT!

How do I store my banner?

Vinyl banners are flexible and easy to store. Simply roll up the vinyl banner and store in the shipping tube it might have been delivered in. If your banner is 3' x 5', just stretch out your banner and start rolling it from the 3' end so that your rolled banner is shorter than if you rolled it from the 5' end. If you have to fold your banner for any reason, you may noticed some wrinkling in the vinyl. This is not a problem. Just lay your banner flat and set an iron on low heat and you can smooth out the wrinkles. You can also use a steamer on low heat to smooth out the wrinkles. The key is to use VERY LOW HEAT!

What can I use a banner for?

Vinyl banners are one of the most economical ways to advertise. At about $3 a sq ft, vinyl banners are a cheap way to advertise, especially if you are working with a small budget. Because of the low cost, many businesses choose to advertise with full color vinyl banners outside of their business. Just drive down any busy street with store front businesses and you are sure to see plenty of outdoor vinyl banners that catch your eye. Many restaurants and night spots use vinyl banners. Real estate agents and Realtors love to use outdoor vinyl banners to catch their buyers eye. Vinyl banners are great for advertising a Garage Sale or Yard Sale. And they are very popular to share a Welcome Home message or Congratulations! One of our most popular banners is our Graduation banners. We also sell a lot of Sports Banners, mostly for Little League teams.
