Description
Vinyl banners: Attract large crowds. Gain more customers.
Grab customers’ attention quickly before they move on to the next shiny big thing with a large, clear, and easy-to-read vinyl banner.
Placing vinyl banners near your store allows you to catch and sustain people’s interest—quickly and effectively. Advertise your latest promotion or extended store hours. You can also display these at high-traffic events like trade shows to draw attention to your booth.
Often large and conspicuous, banners point customers to your business without the usual high advertising costs. Vinyl banner printing is a one-off job that you can use over and over again.
The Specs You Need to Make an Impact
Our vinyl banners come in different sizes to help you get more eyeballs on your business. Whether it’s the standard 3’ x 2’ banner or the enormous 20’ x 8’ one, you can find the size that’s a perfect fit for your brand.
You have the option to choose from three high-quality materials:
Standard 13 oz. vinyl
Great for both indoor and outdoor use but may not withstand extreme weather conditions.
Heavy Duty 18 oz. vinyl
More durable, making it ideal for outdoor use.
9 oz. mesh vinyl
allows air flow while maintaining high-quality prints
To hang the banner against a wall, add grommets on each corner or every two feet of the banner to protect the holes from fraying.
Adding hemming strengthens the edges of banners, making them less likely to rip apart.
If you already have a banner stand, you may choose to add pole pockets (left and right or top and bottom).

What can vinyl banners do for my business?
Vinyl banners can help keep your business in people’s minds. Our printing services offer an affordable means towards the following goals:
- Brand awareness. Before customers can do business with you, they first need to know that you exist. Hanging a vinyl banner near your store makes it easier for customers to find you and know what products or services you offer.
- Easy customization. Your brand competes with several other businesses offering the same products and services. With different customization options, vinyl banners allow you to stand out from the competition.
- Quick turnarounds. Banners can be printed within one business day. They are easy and quick to produce, making them perfect as a last-minute advertising solution.
- Versatile. Vinyl posters can be used for any type of event. From trade shows and conferences to mall sales and music festivals, vinyl banners can be placed anywhere there’s high traffic for maximum visibility.
Make an impact with a simple but attention-grabbing design.
Here are some design guidelines to follow:
- Don’t cram it all in.
Banners need to be readable even from a distance. Choose only the important information that your customers need to know. - Choose the right material.
Where you will put your banner determines the kind of material that you should get. Is it for an indoor event, or is it for outdoor use? - Include a call to action.
A well-designed banner is great, but it must specify the action that you want your customers to take.
Rules of thumb to follow in vinyl banner design.
We like to color outside the lines as much as the next person, but when it comes to vinyl banner printing, there are a few non-negotiables to live by. Here are a few of them from our Vinyl Banner Design Checklist
- If you aren’t printing photos, we recommend using vectors to allow the best possible definition at every size.
- If you need the design to include photos, or other rasterized elements, a final printing size with a resolution of 150 ppi or higher is always recommended.
- We recommend using images with a minimum of 150 ppi (pixels per square inch) for banners intended to be viewed from only a few feet away.
- For banners intended to be viewed from further away, we recommend a minimum of 300 ppi.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, answered
Can I upload my own artwork to print vinyl banners?
Yes. When you upload your file, you have the option to have the banner print right away or get the free PDF proof.
What are vinyl banners made of and is the material waterproof?
These banners are made of durable vinyl material built to last outdoors. The types of vinyl differ in terms of thickness, finish, and tear resistance.
Heavy Duty 18 oz. vinyl can last up to 5 years outdoors and looks good as new in low temperatures. It also offers the highest tear-resistance and can withstand high winds. It has a smooth, easy-to-read matte finish.
Standard 13 oz. vinyl lasts between 3 to 5 years outdoors. It is also tear resistant but not as strong as 18 oz. vinyl. It also has a matte finish that’s readable under a bright light.
The 9 oz. mesh vinyl is recommended for both high and low temperatures. It can withstand extremely windy weather and is extremely tear-resistant.
All materials are waterproof.
What is the standard size for vinyl banners?
- Small: 2 ft. x 4 ft. and 6 ft. x 2 ft.
- Medium: 4 ft. x 8 ft.
- Large: 10 ft. x 5 ft.
Can I print on both sides of the banner?
Yes. By selecting the “Front and Back” option on the calculator, you will be able to print your artwork on both sides of the banner.
How much does a vinyl banner cost?
The cost of banners depends on several things: size, printed side, type of material, finishing, quantity, and printing time. To give you an idea of how much a vinyl banner costs, here’s a sample computation of our most popular banner size (3” x 2”) without finishing:
| Size | Material | Printed Size | Printing Time | Estimated Price | Estimated Price with Grommets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3” x 2” | Standard 13 oz. Vinyl | Front only | 3 Business Days | $15.49 | $18.84 |
| Heavy Duty 18 oz. Vinyl | $20.66 | $25.04 | |||
| 9 oz. Mesh Vinyl | $27.52 | Starts at $30.66 | |||
| 3” x 2” | Standard 13 oz. Vinyl | Front and Back | 5 Business Days | $37.11 | $41.15 |
| Heavy Duty 18 oz. Vinyl | 5 Business Days | $42.73 | $47.35 | ||
| 9 oz. Mesh Vinyl | 1 – 3 Business Days | Starts at $27.52 | X |
Note: The above computation does not include the following: shipping cost, expedited printing time, and finishing.
Do I need to add hemming to my banner?
Hemming reinforces the edges of your banner to prevent tearing or unraveling. With hemming, the banner sides become thicker and stronger, dramatically improving its ability to withstand the elements.
How do I display a vinyl banner with pole pockets?
Slip the pole through the pole pocket on the top and bottom or left and right side of your banner. Make sure the pole has enough allowance at the ends so that you can easily hang the banner.
