A good banner gets noticed from across a parking lot, a trade show hall or a busy street. Banner printing is one of the simplest ways to announce an opening, promote a sale or brand an event space. This guide explains the common banner sizes, materials and finishing options, and shows how to order banner printing Toronto businesses use for storefronts and events from Pristine Printing.
Banner printing is the production of large, flexible signs, usually on vinyl, mesh or fabric, with artwork printed in full colour and finished with grommets or pole pockets for hanging. Businesses use printed banners for storefronts, trade shows, events, fences and building fronts.
Banners are light, easy to roll up and quick to install, which makes them a practical choice for both short promotions and long-running displays. Custom banner printing lets you choose the exact size, material and finish your space needs. A single banner print can carry a logo, an offer and a phone number in one clear layout.
Size depends on where the banner will hang and how far away people will read it. Pristine Printing's banners page lists these starting sizes:
The matte vinyl banners page also lists custom sizes from 12 x 24 inches up to 144 x 96 inches, with standard options such as 24 x 36, 36 x 60, 72 x 48, 96 x 72, 120 x 96 and 144 x 96 inches. Measure your space first, then choose the finished width and height. Custom banner printing is the answer when none of the standard sizes fits a wall or railing.
The material decides how a banner looks, how it handles weather and how long it lasts. Pristine Printing lists five banner materials:
Matte vinyl banners are another option. The product page describes them as 13 oz matte vinyl with full-colour CMYK printing on one side, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The uncoated, non-reflective finish makes them easy to read under bright lights. For vinyl banner printing outdoors, tell the team where the banner will be mounted so they can recommend the right material. Vinyl banner printing on matte stock also suits indoor walls where glare could be a problem.
Finishing controls how your banner hangs. Plan it before you finalize the artwork.
If you are not sure which finish suits your space, ask the team for a recommendation when you print banners for the first time.
Banners are read quickly, often from a distance or while people are moving. Keep the design simple.
A clean banner print starts with a clean file, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates before you submit.
To order banner printing, decide where the banner will hang, measure the space, choose a size and material, then select grommets or pole pockets. Send the size, quantity, indoor or outdoor use, material, hanging method, deadline and artwork through the quote form.
Whether you need one print banner for a single event or several banners printing at once for multiple locations, the same steps apply.
