Capture the Public’s Attention With Vinyl Banner Printing

If you’re looking for a tried-and-tested promotional tool to capture the public’s attention, you’ll never go wrong with a vinyl banner. Compared to other signage materials such as wood and aluminum, vinyl is much more affordable and way easier to store, display, and move. Not receiving enough foot traffic? Simply take the banner down and hang it somewhere more noticeable! Done with promotions? Either keep it for next time or surrender it to the nearest recycling center if it’s just a one-time event.

Show off your vinyl banner in different ways – you can either tie it at the corners through the grommets or thread a rope or rod through the pole pockets. Its versatility certainly makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use!

Draw the crowd with a budget-friendly marketing material that will not back down from the blistering heat, heavy downpour, and even gale-force winds. Get your custom vinyl banners from PrintRunner today.

Finishing in Style

Three finishing options are available to secure your vinyl banner printing to its mounting location:

Banners

Grommets – Also called nickel grommets or eyelets. These are fixed around the edges or corners of the banner. Pick this finishing option of you’d like to use twist ties to secure your banner to a stand or wall.

 

Vinyl Banners

Hems and Grommets – Grommets are still placed at the corners, however, the banner edges are then folded over and heat welded to reinforce the sides. This hemming helps keep your banner in shape and the vinyl material from fraying. Best for outdoor use.

 

Vinyl Banners

Pole Pockets – Banner edges are folded and welded to form a pocket for poles or ropes to be inserted. This finish also reduces creases and provides a solid tensioned look to your vinyl banner.

The most popular vinyl banner sizes are 2 ft x 6 ft, 3 ft x 6 ft, 4 ft x 6 ft, and 4 ft x 8 ft.

Yes, up to 20 ft x 8 ft.

Vinyl is inherently fire retardant. While our vinyl banners are certified flame retardant and have passed NFPA 701 testing, we do not recommend placing your vinyl banner near a fireplace or other fire source.

18 oz. matte vinyl can last up to five years outdoors, even in temperatures as low as -22°F (-30°C).

You can choose from three optional finishing: grommets, grommets with hems, and pole pockets. Adding hems to your grommets increases durability and prevents the banner from tearing or ripping.

Grommets are usually 2 feet apart and about half an inch away from the edge of the banner. Check out our free downloadable templates for guidelines on the artwork layout.

“I ordered two banners to help promote my business. The banners are of good quality. Production time was prompt and price was fair. I would have liked for the image to have been sharper, it appeared to be blurry. Not sure if it wad my image quality, however proff looked clear so not sure where the problem lies. Otherwise I am happy with my purchase.”

“Designed the banner with the online software, and it came out exactly how I created it, and arrived when they said it would.”

“Bottom line: once all the upload issues were dealt with, the banner production was quick and the product itself excellent (with the one production mistake detailed below). My issues were in the ordering process and the fact that post-production quality control either doesn't exist or was skipped for my order. PrintRunner needs to simplify the file upload process for large format items like the 8' X 3' banner I ordered. Their production staff were great in catching resolution issues in my original source file as it was created at 1/4 scale to keep the file size under their 100MB limit. I ended up recreating it at full scale (36" X 96") in Photoshop which resulted in a 1.5GB file. It took two days and three different service reps to be able to get the file uploaded via FTP. They need to remove the file size limitation altogether so it can be done via the website upload process for all items. Now, for the QC issue. One of their standard finishing options is to have grommets installed around the edge of the banner for hanging. I ordered and paid for this option (not expensive) but my banner arrived with no grommets. If I were to have needed to use the banner immediately, I would have been out of luck. I happen to have a grommeting kit and will be able to do it myself but I'd wager most buyers would not know what to do. As this is a standard finishing option and very easy to check before shipping, I am astounded my banner made it out the door without them. Overall, I would still recommend them for most products but be sure to order well ahead of the needed time for any banners to give yourself time to deal with any delays or other issues. This is the first time I've had any problems with PrintRunner over nearly ten years and more than a dozen orders with them.”

“I ordered this banner on a Tuesday for pickup on Friday afternoon in West LA with 3 day turnaround. When I arrived, they said it would be ready Monday. After the West LA office tried getting through to the Van Nuys location several times, I was told to go pickup the banner in Van Nuys. Friday traffic from WLA to Van Nuys was a 2 hour hassle. The WLA guy said my order would be comped, nice of them; but even that turned out to be not factual. He refunded $16 on my order, which is about 1/3 of the price that you'll pay when you order the banner 5' x 2' w 3 day turnaround and pickup. Overall, this company is very disorganized but the quality is good. I'd come back if I had more than 10 days to deal with the lateness, the inconsistencies etc.”
