Questions
Buyer questions about this product, answered. Can't see yours? Ask below and our team will reply.
How do I pick the right size of Crowd Barrier Banners?
Measure the space first: the width and height you have, and how far away people will be when they read it. The smallest listed size, 7 ft 3 in × 2 ft 7 in (2200 × 800 mm), suits a doorway, stall front or single railing panel; the largest, 7 ft 7 in × 3 ft 3 in (2300 × 1000 mm), covers a long fence run or a building front and can be read from much further away. If none fits, enter your own width and height in the calculator. Our guide to what size banner you need walks through it with examples.
Which sizes can I order Crowd Barrier Banners in?
Crowd Barrier Banners come in 3 listed sizes, from 7 ft 3 in × 2 ft 7 in (2200 × 800 mm) at £59.54 up to 7 ft 7 in × 3 ft 3 in (2300 × 1000 mm) at £72.79. In between: 6 ft 7 in × 3 ft 3 in (2000 × 1000 mm). You can also enter your own width and height within the limits shown in the calculator. Prices are the lowest option for each size.
What is a mesh banner and why use it?
Mesh is a woven PVC banner material, 260gsm, with small open holes so air passes through. That means less strain on the eyelets, ties and the fence itself, which is why mesh is used on Heras fencing, scaffolding and open sites. From a few metres away the holes disappear and the print reads as a solid image; close up, fine text can look broken up, so use bold fonts and strong contrast. Crowd Barrier Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner, 260gsm mesh banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
What is the best way to fix Crowd Barrier Banners?
Tie the four corners first so it sits square, then work along the top edge and the bottom, tying every eyelet. Pull each tie just tight enough to take out the slack; do not stretch the fence banner. Cable ties, bungees or rope all work. Bungees give a little in the wind, which helps a solid banner on an exposed railing. Check the ties after the first windy day and replace any that have snapped. Crowd Barrier Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner, 260gsm mesh banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
I do not have artwork. Can you design it for me?
The Artwork choice on this page offers: "I will upload print-ready artwork" (free), "Add my text and logo to a clean layout (typesetting)" (£15), "Design it for me from my brief" (£35), "Redraw or vectorise my logo from a low-res file" (£50) and "Design a new logo for me" (£100). Design fees are fixed, show as their own line in the basket and cover the whole quantity of that item. Typesetting includes 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes; design from your brief includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. You can also design it yourself in the online designer at no charge.
Do I need bleed on a banner?
Set the document to the finished size you ordered, or to exact scale (for example 1:10 for a big banner), with the background running right to the edges. Keep text and logos at least 50 mm in from every edge, because the hem folds over and the eyelets are punched close to the edge. At full size, 100 to 150 dpi is enough for a banner read from a distance. The online designer shows the eyelet positions and the safe area for you. For Crowd Barrier Banners, set your file up at the size you order, for example 7 ft 3 in × 2 ft 7 in (2200 × 800 mm).
Can I design these fence banners online?
Yes. Open the designer from this page, pick a starting layout, add your logo, text and photos, and move things around on the canvas. Checks run as you work: sample text left in, text that is too small, items outside the safe area and low resolution images are flagged before you can approve. You approve exactly what you see, then add it to the basket. Designing and previewing is free; the on-screen preview carries a small watermark that is never printed. For Crowd Barrier Banners, set your file up at the size you order, for example 7 ft 3 in × 2 ft 7 in (2200 × 800 mm).
How much do Crowd Barrier Banners cost?
Crowd Barrier Banners start from £59.54 with size 2200 × 800 mm and material 400gsm PVC-free banner on the Saver turnaround. The price in the calculator changes live as you pick the size, material, finishing, quantity and turnaround, so you see the final price before you add to basket. No VAT is added because we are not VAT registered. Delivery is added at checkout: UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it).
Do you charge for delivery?
UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it), so one fence banner at £59.54 on its own pays £7.95, and the charge disappears once your basket reaches £99. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes add £10 once per order. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order.
How long do Crowd Barrier Banners take to make?
On the option the calculator opens on, Saver is ready to dispatch in 5 working days, Standard in 3 and Express in 1. These are working days to dispatch, counted from when your order and artwork are confirmed, and other sizes or materials can take a day more or less: the calculator shows the exact days next to each turnaround. Courier delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days after dispatch, and we email the tracking details when the parcel leaves us. Crowd Barrier Banners start at £59.54 before delivery.
Can I order Crowd Barrier Banners in a custom size?
Yes. Enter any width from 500 mm to 2500 mm and height from 300 mm to 1200 mm, and the price updates as you type. Anything bigger, or a special shape, can be quoted. Crowd Barrier Banners come in 3 listed sizes, from 7 ft 3 in × 2 ft 7 in (2200 × 800 mm) to 7 ft 7 in × 3 ft 3 in (2300 × 1000 mm).
Can a mesh banner be read from both sides?
A mesh banner is printed on one side. Because of the open weave, a reversed image shows faintly from the back, but it is not readable as a second face. If people need to read it from both sides of a fence, use two banners back to back, or a solid PVC banner on each side. Crowd Barrier Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner, 260gsm mesh banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
What happens to a PVC fence banner in strong wind?
A solid PVC banner on an open fence acts like a sail: the wind pushes on the whole surface and the load goes into the eyelets and ties. Tie every eyelet, keep it taut but not stretched, check the ties after the first windy day and take it down before a storm. For exposed sites that stay up for weeks, choose mesh, which lets a good part of the wind through. Crowd Barrier Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner, 260gsm mesh banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
How big should the text be on these fence banners?
On a 6 ft 7 in × 3 ft 3 in (2000 × 1000 mm) fence banner, keep text 50 mm in from every edge, which leaves about 900 mm of height to work with. A single headline in capitals 270 mm tall reads from roughly 32 m away, using the sign-trade rule of thumb of 25 mm of capital height for every 3 m of viewing distance. Fewer words, bold fonts and strong contrast read further than more words squeezed in.
Do you check my file before printing?
Yes. A person from our team checks every uploaded file for size, bleed and resolution, and tells you if something needs fixing before anything is made. If you design online instead, you approve exactly what you see on screen, and that is what we print. We print what you supply, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates yourself too. Production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. For Crowd Barrier Banners, set your file up at the size you order, for example 7 ft 3 in × 2 ft 7 in (2200 × 800 mm).
What file should I upload?
A PDF at the finished size is best, with fonts embedded or converted to outlines. We also take AI, EPS and SVG, and high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF files. Word, PowerPoint and Canva files are fine as a starting point, but export a full-quality PDF if you can. You can upload up to 3 files of 25 MB each on the product page, or upload later: we email you after you order. Crowd Barrier Banners come in 3 listed sizes, from 7 ft 3 in × 2 ft 7 in (2200 × 800 mm) to 7 ft 7 in × 3 ft 3 in (2300 × 1000 mm).
What happens if my file is not good enough to print?
Our file check catches the usual problems: the wrong size, no bleed, low resolution images and text too close to the edge. We tell you what needs fixing before anything is printed, and you can send a new file. If you would rather we sort it, the typesetting option (£15, 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes) sets your text and logo on a clean layout. Crowd Barrier Banners can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.
What resolution does my artwork need for these fence banners?
For large items read from a distance, 100 to 150 dpi at the finished size is enough. At 100 dpi a 7 ft 7 in × 3 ft 3 in (2300 × 1000 mm) design needs about 9,055 × 3,937 pixels. Logos and text are best as vector artwork, which stays sharp at any size. Photos taken from websites or social media are usually far too small; our file check flags images that may print soft.
Can I order now and send my artwork later?
Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order. Your designer can send the file to us by email or WhatsApp with your order number, so it does not have to come through you. The turnaround clock starts once your order and artwork are confirmed, so send the file early if you have a deadline. Crowd Barrier Banners come in 3 listed sizes, from 7 ft 3 in × 2 ft 7 in (2200 × 800 mm) to 7 ft 7 in × 3 ft 3 in (2300 × 1000 mm).
Do I get the print file of my design?
Yes. When you order printing with a design made in our online designer, the high resolution PDF is attached to your order, and once the order is paid you can download it from My Account and your confirmation email. If you only want the file and no printing, approve the design and buy the print-ready PDF for £9.99. It is digital content, so the right to cancel ends once the download starts. For Crowd Barrier Banners, set your file up at the size you order, for example 7 ft 3 in × 2 ft 7 in (2200 × 800 mm).
Will the price change at checkout?
Only delivery is added. The goods price you see in the calculator is final, with no VAT added. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it). Any artwork or design fee you choose shows as its own line in the basket, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Crowd Barrier Banners start at £59.54 before delivery.
How do I order several of these fence banners?
The price shown is for one fence banner in the size and material you pick. Set the quantity box next to Add to basket and the basket multiplies it. If you need several different sizes or materials, add each one to the basket separately. One artwork fee covers the whole quantity of a line, and "Same artwork as another item in my basket" adds no second fee. For large runs, ask for a quote. Crowd Barrier Banners are made to order by our UK production partner.
Can I pay for express production on Crowd Barrier Banners?
Yes. Express makes these fence banners ready to dispatch in 1 working day on the opening option, priced at £79.34 against £59.54 on Saver (5 days). To plan back from a date, add 1 to 3 working days for the courier after dispatch and allow for artwork: production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. If the date is very tight, call 0161 315 1151 before you order.
Do you deliver Crowd Barrier Banners to the Scottish Highlands?
Yes, with a difference in price. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes, for example around Inverness, Fort William, Oban and Thurso, pay the mainland rate plus £10 once per order, even when the order qualifies for free delivery. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order: use Get a quote or call 0161 315 1151. We do not deliver outside the UK. On the opening option, Crowd Barrier Banners are ready to dispatch in 5 working days on Saver or 1 on Express.
How do I store these fence banners so I can use them again?
Let it dry completely, wipe off any dirt, then roll it loosely with the printed side facing out, around a tube if you have one. Avoid folding it hard, which leaves creases and can crack the print along the fold. Keep it somewhere dry and away from heat. Remove old cable ties before you roll it so they do not dent the print. Crowd Barrier Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner, 260gsm mesh banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
Crowd Barrier Banners or Heras Fence Mesh Banners: which should I choose?
Crowd Barrier Banners use 400gsm PVC-free banner, 260gsm mesh banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets, while Heras Fence Mesh Banners uses 260gsm Mesh. Crowd Barrier Banners have 3 listed sizes from 7 ft 3 in × 2 ft 7 in (2200 × 800 mm); Heras Fence Mesh Banners comes in 10 ft 10 in × 5 ft 11 in. Prices start at £59.54 and £178.44 respectively. Standard turnaround is 3 working days against 6. Pick the one whose size and material fit where it will go; both pages show live prices for every option.
Can a banner make temporary fencing unstable?
It can. A solid banner adds wind load, and a line of temporary fencing is designed to stand up to a certain amount of wind. Ask whoever installed the fencing before you fix large solid banners to it; they may add extra feet, stays or ballast. Mesh lets much of the wind through and is the usual choice for fence runs. HSE guidance on construction sites covers keeping temporary structures stable. Crowd Barrier Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner, 260gsm mesh banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
Do I need permission to put up these fence banners?
Always get the landowner's or building owner's permission first. Outdoor banners count as advertisements under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. Many temporary banners are allowed without an application, but size, place and how long it stays up all matter. If you are unsure, check with your local council before you put it up. Rules in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are similar but set separately. Crowd Barrier Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner, 260gsm mesh banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
Does light show through a mesh banner?
Yes, partly. Mesh is slightly see-through, so in front of a floodlight or a bright window you will see light through the holes. Lit from the front it looks solid. If the banner will be backlit, or you need the deepest colours, a solid PVC banner is the better choice. Crowd Barrier Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner, 260gsm mesh banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
Will my brand colours print exactly?
Supply CMYK where you can. RGB files are converted to CMYK for print, which can make very bright greens, blues and oranges look slightly duller. If you need a brand colour matched, give us the Pantone reference and we match it as closely as the material allows. Small differences between a screen and the printed item are normal, because screens give off light and print reflects it. Crowd Barrier Banners can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.
What does the designer check before I approve?
It looks for sample text you have not replaced, text below the smallest size that prints clearly, anything too close to the edge or outside the safe area, logos or photos too low in resolution for the size, and items overlapping text. Blocking problems must be fixed before you can approve; warnings you can accept if you are happy. The checks do not read your spelling, so check names, numbers and dates yourself. For Crowd Barrier Banners, set your file up at the size you order, for example 7 ft 3 in × 2 ft 7 in (2200 × 800 mm).
Do I need an account to order?
No. You can check out as a guest and pay by debit or credit card, processed securely by Stripe. Creating an account at checkout lets you see past orders in My Account and download the print files of designs you made online. Either way you get an order confirmation email and a tracking email when your order is dispatched. Crowd Barrier Banners are made to order by our UK production partner.
How do I pay?
By debit or credit card at checkout. Payments are processed securely by Stripe, and we never see or store your full card number. Your order goes into production once payment is taken and your order and artwork are confirmed. For a large or unusual order you can ask for a quote first. Crowd Barrier Banners come in 3 listed sizes, from 7 ft 3 in × 2 ft 7 in (2200 × 800 mm) to 7 ft 7 in × 3 ft 3 in (2300 × 1000 mm).
Can I change my artwork after ordering?
Contact us straight away on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp with your order number. If production has not started we can take a corrected file, or cancel the order and refund you in full. Once production starts the order cannot be changed. Printing that matches the design you approved or the file you supplied is not a fault, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates carefully before you order. Crowd Barrier Banners are made to order by our UK production partner.
Can I reorder the same fence banner later?
Yes. Order the same product and options again and upload the same file. If you designed it online, the print PDF from your first paid order is in My Account and your confirmation email, ready to upload again. If anything like a phone number or price has changed, update the artwork before you reorder. Crowd Barrier Banners are made to order by our UK production partner.
Can I order several different designs in one order?
Yes. Add each design to the basket as its own line with its own file or online design, then check out once. Delivery is charged once per order, and becomes free when the goods total reaches £99. If several lines use the same artwork, choose "Same artwork as another item in my basket" so you only pay one design fee. Crowd Barrier Banners come in 3 listed sizes, from 7 ft 3 in × 2 ft 7 in (2200 × 800 mm) to 7 ft 7 in × 3 ft 3 in (2300 × 1000 mm).
Can I return these fence banners if I change my mind?
No. These fence banners are printed to your order, and the 14-day right to cancel does not apply to goods made to your specification (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, regulation 28(1)(b)). You can cancel for a full refund before production starts. If an item is faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, your Consumer Rights Act 2015 rights apply and we reprint or refund. Crowd Barrier Banners are made to order by our UK production partner.
What if my order arrives damaged?
Check it when it arrives. If anything is damaged or missing, tell us within 48 hours with photos of the item and the packaging, through the contact form or on WhatsApp, with your order number. Do not send anything back until we reply; we then arrange a reprint or a refund. This does not affect your legal rights, which the returns page explains. Crowd Barrier Banners start at £59.54 before delivery.
How do I clean these fence banners?
Use warm water with a little mild washing-up liquid and a soft cloth or sponge, then rinse with clean water and let it dry flat or hanging. Do not use solvents, abrasive pads or a pressure washer, which can lift the ink or damage the surface. Dry it fully before you roll it up, or it can mark and smell. Crowd Barrier Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner, 260gsm mesh banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
Can these fence banners be recycled?
PVC banner and mesh material is not accepted in most household recycling collections, so reuse is the best route: store it well and use it again, or give it a second life as a cover or tarp. Some specialist recyclers take PVC banners; check with your local council or waste contractor. If avoiding PVC matters to you, choose the PVC-free material option. Crowd Barrier Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner, 260gsm mesh banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
