Business Banners

Yes. Choose Custom size in the calculator and type the width and height: from 300 mm up to 5000 × 3000 mm, either way round. A custom size is priced like the smallest stock size it fits inside, so you only pay for a bigger size when you need one. Enter it in feet and inches or millimetres; the unit switch sits next to the size. Business Banners come in 12 listed sizes, from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm).

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. Business Banners are printed on 440gsm PVC.

You can choose Hemmed Edges or none. A hem folds and welds the edge so it is stronger and less likely to tear at the eyelets. Hems are worth having on anything going outside. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Business Banners are printed on 440gsm PVC.

You can choose none, 1 bag or 2 bags. Bags of cable ties can be added so you have what you need on the day. Tie every eyelet, corners first. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Business Banners are printed on 440gsm PVC.

You can choose plastic eyelets or metal eyelets. Eyelets are the rings punched around the edge for ties. Metal eyelets are stronger than plastic ones and are the better choice for banners that stay up outdoors for a long time. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Business Banners are printed on 440gsm PVC.

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. Business Banners come in 12 listed sizes, from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm).

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. For Business Banners, set your file up at the size you order, for example 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm).

On a 6 ft × 3 ft (1829 × 914 mm) banner, keep text 50 mm in from every edge, which leaves about 814 mm of height to work with. A single headline in capitals 240 mm tall reads from roughly 29 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.

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. Business Banners come in 12 listed sizes, from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm).

For large items read from a distance, 100 to 150 dpi at the finished size is enough. At 100 dpi a 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm) design needs about 11,811 × 7,874 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.

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 Business Banners, set your file up at the size you order, for example 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm).

The quantity is part of the options: from 1 up to 99 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and more). The price shown is the total for the quantity you pick, so divide by the quantity to compare the price each before you order. For a bigger run than the options list, ask for a quote with the size, quantity and deadline.

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).

Yes. Express makes these banners ready to dispatch in 2 working days on the opening option, priced at £51.26 against £38.45 on Saver (6 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.

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. Business Banners are printed on 440gsm PVC.

Business Banners use 440gsm PVC, while Exhibition Banners uses 400gsm PVC Free. Business Banners have 12 listed sizes from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm); Exhibition Banners has 12 from 4 ft × 2 ft.

Yes, tied to railings, fencing or a gazebo, or fixed to an easel or stand. Outdoors, check the ties or base again if the wind gets up. Order early enough to allow for turnaround and delivery before the date. Business Banners are part of our Mechanics & Garages range.

Yes. PVC banners hang flat and print sharply, so they work well on stage fronts, in halls, receptions and at indoor events. For indoor use without PVC, our PVC-free banners come in the same sizes. Indoors you can hang it with hooks, cord or removable hanging strips through the eyelets instead of ties. Business Banners are part of our Mechanics & Garages range.

For a short time or a sheltered spot, yes; on open fencing for weeks, choose a mesh banner, which lets the wind through. Fix it firmly: cable ties through every eyelet or hole, and check it after windy weather. Our construction site signage guide lists what a typical site entrance needs. Business Banners are part of our Mechanics & Garages range.

Yes. A PVC banner tied to the fascia or railings is a quick way to show an opening, a sale or a new service. For example, 6 ft 7 in × 3 ft 3 in (2000 × 1000 mm) from £64.73. Check with your landlord, and with the council if the sign is large or lit, because shop signs can need advertisement consent.

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. Business Banners are printed on 440gsm PVC.

Business Banners come with 440gsm PVC. This is the material the item is printed on. The calculator shows the price and working days for your size and quantity. If you are unsure which option suits your job, ask a question on this page or call 0161 315 1151.

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. Business Banners can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.
