PVC-Free Banners

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

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

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. PVC-Free Banners start at £36.70 before delivery.

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.

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. PVC-Free Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC Free.

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

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 £61.85. Check with your landlord, and with the council if the sign is large or lit, because shop signs can need advertisement consent.

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. PVC-Free 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. PVC-Free 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. This product also comes in 400gsm PVC-free material, a good choice indoors if you prefer to avoid PVC.

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. PVC-Free Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC Free.

One tie per eyelet, plus a few spares for any that snap. Eyelets run around the edge at regular intervals and at every corner, so a bigger banner has more of them. The Cable Ties option adds 1 bag or 2 bags to the order, so you have them on the day. Use UV-stable ties outdoors if you buy your own. PVC-Free Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC Free.

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

No. These 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)).

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. PVC-Free Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC Free.

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.
