Pole Pockets – When you need to hang your banner using a pipe. Pole pocket finishing can be specific to your requirements. We can sew large or small pole pockets on any side(s) if your banner.
Webbing – To add strength to the edges of your banner. We use 1” webbing, which is a material that we sew into the edges of banners during finishing. This adds thickness and strength to the edges of your banner.
Reinforced Corners – To make the corners of the banner extra strong. We sew in an extra square of material into the corners of your banner to give it extra durability for high stress hanging situations.
Rope Sewn In – When you want to forego the metal grommets. Have rope sewn into your banner when you want to hang it by tying it up. Available rope in 3/16” and ½” thickness.
Velcro – Velcro sewn into the edges. We can add 1” Velcro material to the edges of your banner for adhesion to wherever Velcro normally sticks.
Wind Slits – We can cut the half-moon wind slits into your banner which makes large breathing holes and allows wind to go right through.
File Prep for Banner Printing
At Signs and Printing, we always use Adobe Suite for the setup of our banner printing files. For those who need design service, we are here to help. How do we recommend setting up a file on your own? What kinds of banner design services do we offer?
DIY Setup your Banner Files
For those who have their own designer or design team, here are some of the guidelines that we use at Signs and Printing. Regarding banner files, we have a few simple guidelines for you here:
- Please use professional design software for designing your banner. We only recommend Adobe design software because this is what we use.
- We can not accept any Microsoft Office document for printing (Word, PowerPoint, Excel). We do however accept all Adobe files and .pdf .jpg .psd .ai .eps and .tiff files.
- Banners should be designed at 100% scale using 150dpi. Whatever size your banner is, design it at full size in inches.
- Do not add bleed or printers marks to your file – we take care of that part internally. We only want the viewable area of your print file.
- Keep critical design elements two inches away from all edges to avoid sewing threads and grommets.

Banner FAQ
You’re going to have a bit of work ahead of you. The main way that the wrinkles will come out is by heating up the banner, either in the sun or by heat gun. The process will go quicker when you have a surface to tightly install the banner to. You can achieve this effect with some people helping to stretch the banner out tightly in all directions while it’s warm.
Banner material is weighted by the square yard. This means that one square yard of any given banner material equals its weight in ounces. You can tell the physical difference by how thick or thin the material looks and feels. Something like flag material might be as light as 4oz, and a heavy duty vinyl banner can weigh 18 oz or more.
Technically speaking, both are the same material. The difference is that the mesh banner has tiny holes all over it, and the vinyl banner does not. Both of these banner types are indeed vinyl banners, however the version with the holes in it is referred to as mesh.
