Vinyl banners are large-format printed signs made from flexible PVC-coated fabric, built for storefronts, trade shows, grand openings, job sites and events. Custom printed vinyl banners can be made in any size, with hems, grommets or pole pockets to suit how you plan to hang them. Retailers, churches, schools and contractors buy vinyl banners when they need a message seen from the street without paying for a permanent sign. Order vinyl banners with your logo in full color, or ask about wholesale vinyl banners for multi-location campaigns and resellers. Buy now or request a quote.
Vinyl banners are flexible, large-format signs printed on PVC-coated polyester fabric, usually finished with hemmed edges and metal grommets so they can be tied, zip-tied or screwed to almost any surface. Businesses use them to announce openings, sales, events and directions, indoors and out. They roll up for storage and can be rehung many times.
Vinyl banners work best wherever you need a big, readable message for a limited time or on a limited budget. Typical uses:
For trade shows, many exhibitors pair a backdrop banner with printed brochures that visitors can carry home.
Choose the weight by where the banner will hang and for how long. Banner vinyl is sold by weight per square yard, and three types cover most jobs.
The everyday choice. A polyester mesh, called the scrim, is sandwiched inside the vinyl to resist tearing. It is light enough to hang with zip ties or bungee cords and suits indoor use and short to medium outdoor campaigns.
Thicker, stiffer and more opaque. Pick it for long outdoor runs, wide spans between posts, and double-sided banners where you do not want the reverse image showing through in sunlight.
Perforated vinyl that lets air pass through. It is the right call for chain-link fences, scaffolding and exposed sites, because wind moves through the banner instead of pulling at the grommets. Colors look slightly lighter than on solid vinyl, since part of the surface is open.
Size the banner to the viewing distance first, then to the space. A common sign rule is one inch of letter height for every ten feet of viewing distance, so a headline meant to be read from 100 feet away needs letters about ten inches tall. Work out the headline height, then build the banner around it.
Popular sizes include 2 x 4 feet for counters and booths, 3 x 6 and 4 x 8 feet for storefronts and fences, and longer runs for building sides and stages. We print custom sizes, so measure the actual space between your posts, poles or anchor points and leave a few inches of slack for ties.
How a banner is finished decides how it hangs and how long it lasts.

Most banners are printed on one side, which is all you need against a wall, fence or backdrop. Choose double-sided printing when people approach from both directions, such as a banner hung across a street, from a ceiling or on a sidewalk pole. Double-sided work uses heavier blockout material so the two images do not ghost through each other.
Set up artwork at the final size, or at a clean fraction of it, in CMYK. We accept PDF, AI or EPS files at 300 DPI, and vector logos and type are ideal because they scale to any size without softening. A few points make a banner easier to read:
If you do not have print-ready files, our free design support can build the layout from your logo and wording. Many customers order matching window and wall decals at the same time so a promotion looks consistent from the curb to the counter.
A well-hung banner outlasts a badly hung one by a wide margin. Use every grommet, not only the corners, and pull the banner taut so it does not flap. On fences, zip ties work; on walls, use screws with washers; between posts, bungee cords absorb gusts better than rope. Take banners down ahead of severe weather.
To store a banner, wipe it with mild soap and water, let it dry, and roll it around a tube with the printed side facing out. Folding leaves creases that can crack the ink over time.
Boxify Now prints vinyl banner signage in custom sizes with CMYK and PMS color, and you see a digital proof before anything goes to press. Design support is free, minimums are low, so a single location can order only what it needs, and shipping is free, with delivery details confirmed on your quote. If an event calls for more than a banner, the same artwork can carry across printed table tents so every piece on the floor matches.
Send us the banner size, quantity, material preference, finishing and where it will hang, along with your artwork or a description of what you need. We reply with a quote that confirms price, timeline and delivery. Once you approve the digital proof, the banner is printed, finished and shipped rolled to protect the print.

Vinyl banners are made from PVC-coated polyester fabric. A woven polyester scrim sits inside the vinyl to resist tearing, and the surface is printed with weather-resistant inks. The result is a flexible sheet that rolls up for storage and stands up to rain and sun.
Outdoor life depends on sun exposure, wind and how the banner is hung, so we do not quote a fixed figure. Heavier vinyl, hemmed edges, close grommet spacing and taut installation all extend it. Taking the banner down in severe weather helps most of all.
The numbers describe weight per square yard. 13 oz vinyl is lighter, easier to hang and suits most indoor and short outdoor uses. 18 oz vinyl is thicker and more opaque, which makes it the better choice for long outdoor runs and double-sided banners.
Choose mesh for fences, scaffolding and open, windy sites. The perforated surface lets air pass through, so the banner pulls less on its grommets and ties. Print looks a little lighter than on solid vinyl, so use bold type and high-contrast colors.
Yes. Banners are printed to the dimensions you give us, from small counter banners to long building and fence runs. Measure the space between your anchor points, allow a little slack for ties, and include the size with your quote request.
Grommets are metal eyelets pressed through the hem so the banner can be tied, hooked or screwed in place. They are usually set at each corner and about every two feet along the edges. Closer spacing is available for windy sites if you ask.
Pole pockets are open sleeves formed along the top, the bottom or both edges of a banner. A pole or dowel slides through to hold the banner flat. They are common on street-pole banners, parade banners and retractable or freestanding banner frames.
Yes. Double-sided banners use a heavier blockout vinyl that stops the image on one face showing through to the other. They suit banners hung over streets, from ceilings or on poles, where people approach from both directions and both sides are seen.
Send a PDF, AI or EPS file at 300 DPI in CMYK. Vector logos and text are best because they scale to large sizes without losing sharpness. Keep important content a couple of inches inside the edge, clear of hems and grommets.
Banners are printed in CMYK, and PMS references can be supplied for brand colors that need a close match. Include the PMS numbers with your artwork. The digital proof shows layout and color breaks so you can check everything before printing.
Yes, design support is free. Send your logo, wording and any brand guidelines, and we will prepare a layout sized for your banner. You review a digital proof and request changes before approving it, so nothing is printed until you are satisfied.
Minimums are low, so a single shop, church or event organizer can order just what one location needs. Larger wholesale quantities are available for franchises, agencies and resellers. Tell us your quantity and we will quote accordingly.
The timeline depends on size, quantity and finishing, and it is confirmed on your quote. Production begins after you approve the digital proof. If you are working toward an event date, tell us up front so we can plan around it.
Banners are rolled, not folded, so the print arrives without creases. Shipping is free, and your quote will confirm delivery details for your location. If the banner has traveled in cold weather, unroll it and let it relax flat before hanging.
Wipe the banner with a soft cloth, mild soap and water, then let it dry fully. Roll it around a tube with the printed side facing out and store it somewhere cool and dry. Avoid folding, which leaves creases that are hard to remove.
