EXAMPLES OF PRICING FOR GRAPHIC DESIGN:

Simple $15 - $30: Your digital banner only needs a few lines of text and a phone number. Since the design time will be fairly minimal your estimated design cost would be very low. This fee includes up to 3 corrections to alter your design or change information.

Moderate $35 - $60: Your digital banner will need a couple photos and some text. You have a few photos you are supplying us with that need to be sized and checked for overall print compatibility. Or, you don't have any photos, and need our designers to provide some simple high quality images for your design. The cost varies depending on the amount of time our designers designate will be needed to complete your design. This fee includes up to 3 corrections as well.

Complex $65 - $100 (or more): You submit your own art file, but it is has a very low resolution, and when enlarged to your chosen digital banner size will look pixelated and blurry and will need to be recreated (to the best of our abilities) to look as similar as possible to your original artwork; or if your art file needs to be recreated or redesigned to best fit your digital banner size and needs; or if you request a complex design that needs to be built from scratch. These type of scenarios require a lot of design time, and in turn more cost, depending on the complexity of the design needed. Also included in that price, is the aforementioned 3 correction policy, not including any complete redesigns.

The above examples are approximations of design costs that could be incurred if graphic design help is needed on a digital banner order. Banner graphic design fees will always be discussed and approved by the customer before any order is placed.

Banner Finishing Styles

Vinyl banner finishing styles and options.

We offer a wide array of banner styles and choices that have different finishing options. The finish of a banner is mainly determined by how a banner will be used, installed or the type of banner ordered. If you are not sure of what type of finish is the right fit for your banners needs you can always call us directly, Monday - Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST, and our banner sign consultants can answer all your questions.

Straight Cut Edge with Grommets

This is our standard banner finish for all regular banners and non-rip banners under 52" in height. These two banners utilize a non-fray vinyl material, allowing for a straight cut edge that looks clean and doesn't require any stitching, and can be produced very quickly because of the lack of sewing that goes into a stitched hem banner. Brass grommets are then punched into the fabric to allow the banner to be hung in a variety of ways. Our banners come standard with four grommet corners included. Additional grommets are suggested for banners over 6' long.

Stitched Hems with Grommets

For all our over-sized banners that are produced that go over the 52" height capacity of our standard banners, stitched hems are the automatic finishing style. We utilize a different print system with a different vinyl that requires stitching the hems to make them durable and attractive for indoor and outdoor use. The 1" stitched hems encompass all sides of the banner. This style of finishing comes with brass grommets punched into the banner every 24" to 30" all the way around the banner for hanging purposes. Typically no extra grommets are needed for this type of banner finish.

Pole Pockets / Pole Sleeves / Sleeved Banners

Sleeved banners are primarily used for light pole banners, back drop step-and-repeat banners, and sometimes over-the-street road banners. The typical finish on a sleeved banner includes extra material, running along the top and bottom of a single-sided or double-sided banner, allowing the banner to be slid onto pole display systems. The pole pockets (sleeves) are determined by the actual diameter of the rod the banner will be displayed from. Before ordering you will need to know the exact diameter of the poles for a proper fit and pricing.

Single-Sided Banners

A single sided banner is pretty much what it sounds like...a banner with information on the front of the material only. Single sided banners finishing is the most common in the vinyl banner industry for digital printed banners, silk screen banners, mesh banners, lettered banners, trade show retractable banners and more. Single sided banners are more commonly installed against a surface so that the blank banner material on the back is obscured from few. Single-sided banners are a great economical buy perfect for just about any advertising need.

Double-Sided Banners

Basically a double-sided banner finish displays two images...one on the front of the banner and another on the back of the banner. Double-sided banners can have the same advertising on both sides or contrasting information on either side of the banner, to cater your target audience in each direction. Double-sided banners can be made one of two ways: two banners stitched to each other with block-out material in between so that the information from the other side doesn't bleed through; or digitally printed onto special vinyl material that is ink receptive on both sides.

Reinforced Corners, Webbing, Snap Hooks & Rope (Over-the-Street)

Over-the-street banner finishing is a very specialized finishing options that requires a lot of attention to detail and usually involves city specific requirements and approvals. The extra large nature of these road banners may require special equipment like D-rings, snap hooks, reinforced corners and webbing or sewing in rope, just to name a few. Since these banners are in high traffic areas and can endure a high amount of stress due to weather factors it's always best to check with your city planning department before purchasing or pricing an over-the-street banner.

No Grommets

If you will not need any brass grommets to hang your banner with then you can opt for no grommets on any banner style we offer. Most grommet free banners are used in display cases, as table covers or in retractable stands for trade-show advertising. These banners can be installed on just about any surface with double-sided tape or even velcro hook and loop systems making them seamless and flush. No grommet banners give a very clean look for instances when hanging the banner is not necessary and may deter from the overall design of the banner.
