Why Do I Need a Printed Banner?

A printed pull up banner can be a highly effective and value-for-money way to promote your business. Are you launching a new line? Giving out in-store samples of your product? Showcasing your brand in a public place?

The type of printed banner you need will depend on what you’re it using for. But there can be no doubt that custom banners can help to shape an eye-catching promotional display with superb pulling power. For indoor or outdoor use, create your own banner with instantprint today

How Can a Printed Banner Help My Business?

Make a connection: Did you know 84% of young people born after 1997 take notice of out-of-home advertising? It’s not just the so-called ‘Generation Z’ either. Printed banner advertising is a great way to connect with people of all ages who are passing by your business or event stand.

Show off your personality: With the right colours, designs and wording, promotional banners can tell potential customers all they need to know about your business and what you’re offering – instore, on the high street or on the show floor. Think of a banner as a silent salesperson.

Cost-effective advertising: Unlike print, radio and other types of advertising, printed banners are relatively cost-effective for any business. We offer custom banners made to order, complete with your logo and branding, that you can use in any location and capture new customers.

What Types of Printed Banner Are There?

Pull-up roller banners

Perfect for attracting attention, our pop-up banners are long-lasting, easy to move around and unbeatable promotional solutions for:

• Creating mobile in-store displays
• Showing off your latest sales/deals
• Using as display boards

PVC banners

For indoor or outdoor use no matter the weather, look no further than a PVC banner – available in a range of sizes and built to impress potential customers and clients. With pre-made eyelets, they’re easy to fasten to a wide range of surfaces and structures.

Exhibition display stands

Need to make a lasting impression? Our exhibition pop-up banners are practical and easy to put up. They also come with a carry case that can double as a podium, which means extra branding opportunities for your business too.

How Are My Banners Printed?

All our banners are printed using our large format printer, the HP Scitex 11000 Industrial Press. We now have two of these printers, following our £3.25m investment in 2018 , both of which can print custom banners to order in no time at all.

To make your banners, we use the following material:

• 220mic PVC stock (pull-up and premium roller banners)
• 400gsm banner PVC (PVC banners)
• 500mic PVC/latex hybrid (exhibition pop-up banners and stands)
• 220 PET plastic (clear roller banners)

How Heavy Will My Banner Be?

• 52 x 91 cm: 0.21 kg with indoor vinyl, 0.22 kg with outdoor vinyl
• 76 x 183 cm: 0.66 kg with indoor vinyl, 0.72 kg with outdoor vinyl
• 76 x 366 cm: 1.23 kg with indoor vinyl, 1.30 kg with outdoor vinyl
• 122 x 244 cm: 1.37 kg with indoor vinyl, 1.72 kg with outdoor vinyl

Are There Any Recyclable Banner Printing Options?

For single time use and once-in-a-lifetime events, being able to recycle your marketing and display materials afterwards is a huge benefit. For times like these, we recommend choosing a totem banner which is made from a material called boxboard, which is essentially a strong yet flexible cardboard material. Not only does this make for a cheap banner printing choice, but it’s also a widely recycled material, making it easy to dispose of after your event.

How Do I Design a Banner?

With instantprint, it’s easy to create your own banner design. To get started, download our free blank banner templates from the product page of your choice. You’ll find that our templates are applicable across a range of platforms, including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat.

Not sure you can design a banner from scratch? No problem.

A faster, easier way to make a banner is to use our free online design tool . We’ve got hundreds of roller banner designs to choose from. And don’t forget – our design team are here to answer any questions you might have about your custom banner. So, all you need to do is ask.

Rather design your own banner from scratch? No problem. Here’s how to set your artwork up for print.

Size – first, choose the size of banner you want and set up your document size to match. You can find all of our sizes in mm after you’ve chosen which product you want from this page.

Bleed and safety – the amount of bleed area you’ll need to add to your design varies depending on what kind of banner you need. Although it’s best to double check the artwork guide for each individual product, we recommend at least a 3mm border on each side of your document – just to be safe!

Colour – commercial printers, like ours, add colour to a blank material, meaning we work in the CMYK spectrum of colours. To get a better idea of what your colours will look like once your banner is printed, change your colour mode to CMYK using your preferred design program. If you can’t change this, don’t worry – when you receive your artwork proof, it’ll automatically be in CMYK, so all you have to do is approve it when you’re happy!

Saving your file – we accept a range of different file types, however the easiest way to make sure text and images don’t change or move when we open up your file to quadruple check it before sending it to print is to save it as a JPEG or PDF. This ‘flattens’ all the elements of your design meaning they can’t change.

What Information Should My Banner Include?

Looking to create a personalised banner for your business? There are a few important things to bear in mind when you design your banner that’ll help make sure you get the most out of it:

• Keep it visual : Printed banners with a huge amount of visual appeal can really draw in the crowds of people walking past your exhibition stand or place of business.
• Put your logo first : Place your company logo at the top of your display banner or stand so that it pops and can be easily recognised in a busy environment.
• Don’t forget curves : If you’re designing an exhibition stand, don’t forget the sides will curve around – something to keep in mind when working on your design.
• Add some colour: Use bright, bold colours (that fit with your brand identity) to make a real impression when there’s plenty of businesses competing for attention.
