FAQs – PVC Banners

How much does a PVC banner cost?
The price of a PVC banner depends on the size, finishing, and quantity you need. Smaller banners start from a very affordable cost, while larger custom sizes are priced per square metre. Ordering in bulk often reduces the price per banner. For an accurate quote, simply enter your banner size and options on our website.

How fast can you deliver a printed banner?
We offer quick turnaround times to suit your deadline. Standard orders are usually delivered in just a few working days, while express options such as next-day delivery are available on many products. If you have a specific event date, let us know and we’ll do our best to meet it.

Can PVC banners be reused?
Yes, PVC banners can be rolled up, stored, and reused multiple times. If they are properly cared for (avoiding creases and sharp edges), they can last for years. This makes them ideal for seasonal events, exhibitions, and recurring promotions.

Are PVC banners waterproof?
PVC banners are fully waterproof and weather-resistant, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The inks we use are UV stable so that they won’t fade quickly in sunlight, and the material is tough enough to withstand rain and wind.

Do you print double-sided banners?
Yes, we can print banners on both sides if required. Double-sided banners are perfect for hanging in open spaces where the design needs to be seen from different directions.

What finishing options are available?
We offer a range of finishing choices depending on how you plan to display your banner. These include hems and eyelets for easy fixing, pole pockets for scaffold banners or hanging systems, and reinforced corners for extra durability.

Can I attach my banner to a fence or scaffolding?
Yes, PVC banners can be fitted to a wide variety of structures, including fences, scaffolding, railings, and banner frames. We recommend using elastic bungees where possible, as they absorb tension in windy conditions and extend the life of the banner.

Do you supply banner frames or stands?
We also stock a range of banner display systems, including outdoor banner frames, café barrier systems, and freestanding stands. These can be ordered alongside your banner for a complete solution.

What’s the difference between PVC and mesh banners?
PVC banners are solid and provide maximum colour vibrancy, while mesh banners have tiny holes that allow wind to pass through. Mesh is recommended for very large outdoor banners or exposed locations, as it reduces strain on the fixings.

Are your banners eco-friendly?
Our standard PVC banners are long-lasting and can be recycled at specialist facilities. We also offer eco-friendly alternatives such as PVC-free banner materials and water-based latex inks, which are better for the environment.

Will I get a proof before printing?
Yes, we provide a proof for every order so you can see how your design will look before we go to print. This ensures you’re completely happy with the layout, colours, and sizing.

Can I print photos or detailed graphics on a banner?
Definitely. Our high-resolution wide-format printers can produce sharp, vibrant images, making them perfect for photographic designs, logos, and detailed graphics. Just make sure your image file is high quality for the best results.

Do you offer discounts for bulk orders?
Yes, we provide competitive pricing for larger quantities. If you’re ordering multiple banners for events, retail promotions, or school campaigns, contact us for a tailored quote.

Why choose PVC for banners?
PVC is the go-to choice for printed banners thanks to its durability and print quality. The material is built on a tough nylon mesh that prevents tearing, and the smooth PVC coating on the surface ensures a sharp, vibrant print. We use premium white PVC stock and print directly onto it with advanced large-format vinyl printers for a professional finish.

How long can I expect my banner to last?
PVC banners are designed as temporary displays, but lifespan depends on how and where they’re used. Indoors, they can look good for many years. Outdoors, the weather and how the banner is fixed make the biggest difference. A banner secured flat against a wall can last for years, while one stretched across a road in strong winds will wear out more quickly. Our inks are UV and weather-resistant, giving at least three years before any fading is noticeable. Longer in shaded areas.

What’s the best way to care for my banner?
To get the longest use from your banner:

• Avoid it rubbing against sharp edges or hard surfaces.
• Take it down if high winds are expected.
• Always use all the eyelets for even tension.
• Store rolled up with the print facing inwards, not folded, to avoid creases. A tube is ideal for storage.

Are the inks suitable for indoor banners, too?
Yes. We print with eco-friendly latex inks that are UV-stable for outdoor durability, but they’re also odourless, which makes them perfect for indoor displays. This is a big advantage over solvent-based inks, which can release a smell in enclosed spaces.

Can you design my banner for me?
Absolutely. If you don’t have artwork ready, we can create a design from your brief. Simply send us your text, preferred fonts and colours, plus any images, and our team will do the rest. You can also pick from our wide range of ready-to-go designs for occasions such as birthdays, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and more.

What sizes of banners are available?
PVC banners can be produced in virtually any size. Our printers handle single pieces up to 2.5m wide and 50m long. For larger applications like building wraps, we weld panels together seamlessly, so there’s no real limit on size. Popular choices include 10' x 3' and 8' x 2'.

Any tips for designing an effective banner?
Keep the design bold and straightforward; banners are often seen at a glance. Use clear block fonts for key details, avoid over-stretching text, and stick to strong colour contrasts such as dark text on a light background (or vice versa).

How do I send you my artwork?
When you supply artwork, we’ll check the file before printing to make sure everything is in order. If there are any problems, we’ll be in touch to resolve them before production begins. You’ll find detailed artwork guidelines under the “Artwork” tab on the product page.

How are banners finished?
Most banners are hemmed for extra strength, with eyelets fitted through the reinforced edge. This method prevents tearing and makes installation easier. For indoor use, banners can be supplied with cut edges instead. We can also add pole pockets, which are ideal for scaffold banners or retail hanging displays.

What’s the best way to hang a banner?
PVC banners can be displayed in many ways. Typically, hemmed edges and eyelets make them easy to fix to fences, frames, or walls. Elastic bungees are recommended, as they allow some movement in the wind and reduce strain on the eyelets. Cable ties or ropes can also be used, though they don’t offer flexibility.
If fixing directly to a wall, screws with washers through the eyelets work well. For street installations, always suspend the banner from support wires using carabiner hooks, never just the end eyelets alone.

How far away can a banner be read?
As a rule of thumb, multiply the letter height by 10 to get the best viewing distance in feet. For example, 12-inch letters are easy to read at 120 feet. Maximum readability extends to around 500 feet.
