For products with custom sizes such as banners, backdrops or other variable items, the price will update instantly as you enter your dimensions, giving you a clear cost before you proceed.

Premium PVC Banners

Our most popular banner. Strong, weather-resistant PVC makes it a reliable choice for outdoor advertising and everyday promotions.

Event Banners

Printed and finished in the same way as our Premium PVC banners, using material suited to short- and medium-term promotions. Ideal for festivals, events and temporary advertising.

Mesh PVC Banners

A practical choice for railings, scaffolding, construction sites and windy locations. Tiny holes allow air to pass through the material, reducing wind loading.

Double Sided PVC Banners

Heavy-duty 650gsm block-out material keeps designs on each side clear, preventing colour show-through. Ideal for locations where your message needs to be seen from both directions.

Commonly used for scaffold and hanging banners, with pole pockets available for fixing to scaffolding or cable systems.

We can print banners at any size, but it helps to know the standard sizes many people choose. The most common size is 300 cm x 100 cm. This is about the length of a small car such as a Fiat 500 and works well for most uses.

Other popular options include:

• 120 cm x 60 cm – about the length of a single office desk
• 180 cm x 90 cm – similar to a queen‑size bed
• 200 cm x 100 cm – close to a king‑size bed
• 240 cm x 120 cm – about the length of a garden fence panel
• 400 cm x 100 cm – roughly the width of a two‑car garage door

If you have several designs that are all the same size, simply enter the total quantity when ordering. Then provide us with a breakdown of the artwork and quantities for each design, either in the notes box or by email if easier. For example, you might order 10 banners in total, made up of 6 of one design and 4 of another.

Please remember to leave clear notes with your order so we can produce the correct quantities of each design. If anything is unclear, we will contact you to confirm before going ahead.

You can place your order with complete confidence. Unlike many other printing companies, we carefully check every single order before it goes into production. As soon as your order is received, one of our experienced pre-press team members is assigned to it. They will review all the details you have provided, including any notes, and will check your artwork to make sure it meets our print requirements.

If the file needs minor adjustments, we will make those changes straight away to ensure that your job prints correctly. If there is a more significant issue, such as image quality, file format or sizing, we will contact you by email to explain the problem and request updated artwork. We will never send a job to print without these essential checks, so you can be assured that your order is in safe hands.

When placing your order, please use the notes section to add any special requests or instructions. This could include details about finishing, artwork adjustments, delivery requirements or anything else that will help us produce exactly what you need. If anything is unclear, we will always get in touch by email to confirm the details before moving forward. And do not worry if you forget to include something earlier, as there is an additional notes section at checkout where you can add any missed information.

If there is a problem with your artwork, we will not print it without contacting you first. Small issues, such as sizing or bleed, can often be corrected by our team so your order can continue without delay.

For larger problems, such as low image quality or the wrong file type, we will email you to explain the issue and ask for a replacement file. This way, you always have the chance to fix anything before your banner goes into production.

Our aim is to make sure your banner prints correctly the first time, giving you peace of mind and a professional finish.

We can manufacture banners in a wide variety of shapes, often at no extra cost. Whether you need a triangular banner, trapezium, parallelogram or another custom shape, we can usually produce it to your requirements.

When ordering, please enter the overall height and width at their tallest and widest points. It is very important that you also leave a note in the notes box to confirm that your banner is a custom shape. By default, all banners are produced with square / rectangular edges, as artwork files are normally supplied on rectangular artboards. Without a note, your banner will be made as a standard rectangular or square edges.

The most popular and versatile finish for banners is hem and eyelets. The banner material is folded over and hemmed all around, with eyelets placed through the double thickness of the fabric for extra strength. Eyelets are usually spaced approximately every 500mm, giving you plenty of fixing points to secure your banner tightly and safely.

Hem and Eyelets

This is the standard and most widely used finish. The reinforced hem provides durability, while the evenly spaced eyelets make it easy to attach the banner securely in almost any location.

Pole Pockets

Pole pockets are designed for sliding over poles or cables, making them perfect for attaching to scaffolding or cable systems. Most scaffold banners are supplied with pole pockets as standard, as they provide a simple and secure fixing method.

Trimmed to Size

This option means the banner is cut neatly to the edge of the artwork with no hem or eyelets. It provides a clean, simple finish where additional fixings are not required.

Hem Only

A hemmed edge without eyelets. This gives the banner added strength and a neat edge, while leaving you free to use your own fixing method.

Custom Finishing

If you need something more specific, such as a combination of finishes, we can help. For example, you might want hem and eyelets along the top and a pole pocket at the bottom. If you do not see the exact option you need, simply leave us a note when placing your order and we will do our best to accommodate your request. If anything is unclear, we will contact you to confirm the details before going ahead. Please note that some non-standard finishes or custom requests may incur an additional cost. If we need to discuss an additional cost, are unsure about your requirements, or find that we cannot finish the banner exactly as requested, we will always contact you first to explain, discuss the options available and confirm how you would like to proceed.

If you need eyelets in specific positions, we can place them exactly where required. When creating your artwork, please mark the eyelet positions using 5mm magenta circles so our team can follow your layout accurately.

By default, banners are supplied with eyelets spaced approximately every 500mm around the edges. If you want a different arrangement, it is essential to leave a note in the notes box when placing your order confirming that the custom eyelets should be positioned as shown on your artwork.

Please also note that all eyelets are placed 20mm in from the edge of the banner, measured to the centre of the eyelet. For example, if you request an eyelet in the corner, the centre of the eyelet will be 20mm away from both edges, ensuring strength and preventing tearing at the edge of the material.

If you cannot mark the eyelets on your artwork, you can simply describe the required positions in the notes box and we will place them for you.

Even the best quality banners can fail if they are not fitted correctly. To make sure your banner lasts as long as possible, it is important to attach it securely using all of the available eyelet holes. A banner that is fitted loosely and allowed to flap in the wind will quickly weaken. The constant pulling and tugging at the eyelets causes strain, which over time can loosen or tear them.

Methods of fixing a banner with eyelets include using zip ties to attach it securely to railings, fences or similar structures. Another common method, especially for banners with hems and eyelets, is to fix them to a building using screws and large washers known as penny washers. The washer is placed over the eyelet, and the small centre hole allows the screw to hold the washer firmly in place, keeping the banner tight against the wall.

Another common issue is when a banner is left to billow against a hard surface such as a metal fence, brick wall or other rough material. As the banner moves, the fabric rubs against the surface, which can cause fraying and eventually lead to ripping. Even the strongest banner material cannot withstand repeated abrasion against hard or sharp surfaces.

For best results, always ensure your banner is pulled tight and fixed evenly across all edges. Using every eyelet helps distribute the tension and prevents excess strain in one area. Where possible, fit your banner against a smooth background or use bungee cords to absorb movement rather than allowing the fabric to take the full force of the wind.

If you are fixing a banner to a fence, we also recommend using cable ties or bungees through each eyelet to keep it secure and taut. For larger banners, consider using additional fixings or support bars to spread the load and reduce wear. Taking these simple steps will help protect your banner, extend its lifespan and keep it looking its best.

To get the best life from your banners and fabrics, store them carefully when not in use.

Banners: Always roll banners with the printed face outwards to avoid creasing. Cover them with a protective layer such as a bin bag or an old towel to prevent scratches. Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Fabrics: Fold fabrics neatly (like a bed sheet) and keep them in a dry cupboard, drawer or even an old suitcase.

Proper storage will help you reuse your graphics many times without damage.
