There are three ways to create your print design:

1. Design it yourself

Here’s a quick checklist to help set up your vinyl banner artwork.

• Add 25mm bleed to the finished size of your vinyl banner
• Make sure any important images and text is within a 36mm safe area to account for hemming and eyelets

*Banners are hemmed with a 15mm hem

**Eyelets included as standard at approx. 500mm intervals

After design

Once you’re happy with your design, please place your order! Once you’ve received your order confirmation email, you’ll need to send your artwork to us at artwork@instantprint.co.uk, making sure you tell us your order reference number in the email, and we’ll get back to you ASAP with a proof for you to check and approve.

If your file is over 20MB, you will need to use WeTransfer to send your artwork to us as it will be too big to send via email.

Every piece of artwork is checked by our studio team before print. Unsure of how to set up your artwork? Email our Personal Artworker team at pa@instantprint.co.uk and we’ll be happy to help you!
