Additionally, we can make whatever size you need and provide quick and easy pricing so you can see exactly what your banner will cost to make sure it fits into your budget. Use our tool to specify the exact height and width (in inches) for your banner and we will print whatever size you need. You’re never stuck with a “cookie-cutter” vinyl banner size when you order from Signazon.
Do I need grommets on my banner?
If you are planning to use it as an outdoor banner—for example, a business banner, graduation banner, or other similar display—you definitely want grommets. These small metal rings go around the holes on the edges that you will use to secure the banner. They reinforce the vinyl with metal, making it far more durable and better able to withstand inclement weather like wind, rain, and snow.
How is reinforced webbing different from reinforced edges?
Both reinforced webbing and reinforced edges on your banner are designed to protect it from ripping or getting damaged when you display it outdoors, or for very large banners and heavy banners.
Reinforced edges are made using additional vinyl material on the outside of the banner, folding it over and heat-sealing it. Reinforced webbing is a sewn-in material made of extremely strong and durable fibers that are cross-stitched to prevent ripping. By adding these to the edges of the banner you have another layer of protection against wind and weather that could rip the banner. We highly recommend using both reinforced webbing and edges, along with grommets, for banners that will be displayed outdoors.
Are your banners fireproof?
All of our banners are made from a fire-retardant vinyl that meets NFPA701 codes.
What types of banner finishes do you have?
You can choose from either a gloss finish or a matte finish. Gloss finishes offer an extra vibrant color with a shiny look and feel. Matte printing offers the same high quality images without the “glare”. Matte finishes work better for banners that will be displayed in direct indoor lights or in bright sunlight (where gloss would create a glare and make it hard to read). Glossy finishes are also more likely to show smudges or fingerprints, so consider matte if it’s in an area where it’s in reach for people to touch it or where it might attract a lot of dirt.
Can you help me with design?
We definitely can! Our helpful customer service team is available to assist you with creating and uploading your own design. We also have tons of pre-designed templates to create the exact look you want without being a professional designer. Start with the template that has the colors, fonts, and look that you want, then add your own text and logo to make it your own.
Why do double-sided vinyl banners with reinforced edges require a 2-inch solid color safe zone?
When you order a 2-Sided banner with Reinforced Edges, the edges of the banner will be physically folded and hemmed to create a strong, finished border. Because the vinyl is folded over, the edge area of your artwork must follow these file preparation rules to ensure a clean, professional result on both sides:
Solid Color Edge Required — Minimum 2 inches on each folded Top and Bottom edges.
The folding zone on a reinforced edge is 1 inch. Since both the front and back sides of the banner meet at that fold, the clearance zone extends 1 inch per side × 2 sides = 2 inches total. Your artwork must have a solid, flat color (white, black, or any other single color — no gradients) within this 2-inch border area.
- No images or text in this area. Keep all logos, text, and graphic elements outside the 2-inch clearance zone. If any elements fall within this zone, please move them inward before submitting your file.
- No gradients in this area. Gradients that bleed into the fold zone will not align cleanly between the front and back sides, and will require additional editing to correct. If your background uses a gradient near the edges, please replace it with a solid color in the border area before submitting.
Why does this matter?
On a 2-sided banner, the front and back edges must meet and blend at the fold. If the edge color on one side is a gradient or doesn't match the opposite side, the folded area will look inconsistent and unfinished.
