Eight seconds to make a lasting first impression.

Custom vinyl banners have a high visual impact that makes them ideal for street&nbsp;and other&nbsp;advertising.&nbsp;Not only are they great as an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/a-guide-to-outdoor-banners-signage-101\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">outdoor signage&nbsp;option<\/a>,&nbsp;but these large&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">custom signs<\/a>&nbsp;also&nbsp;cost less than digital&nbsp;media and&nbsp;are extremely durable to boot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;new to designing banners, the options and process of creating a banner may seem&nbsp;overwhelming.&nbsp;What\u2019s&nbsp;the difference between the materials?&nbsp;Do you need pole pockets or grommets? In this&nbsp;post,&nbsp;we\u2019ll&nbsp;walk you through&nbsp;the different banner options,&nbsp;design&nbsp;considerations and&nbsp;creative&nbsp;options, and how to design&nbsp;a banner&nbsp;online. All so&nbsp;that you&nbsp;can&nbsp;create&nbsp;eye-catching&nbsp;vinyl&nbsp;banners that speak to your customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Vinyl Banner Options<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here at Signs.com, we offer two types of banner material that you can use indoors or outdoors:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>13 oz. vinyl<\/strong>&nbsp;offers an excellent combination of weight and thickness.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;the same material used for&nbsp;billboards and other outdoor displays.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>18 oz. vinyl&nbsp;<\/strong>is&nbsp;a heavy-duty material that you can print on both sides.&nbsp;This material&nbsp;provides&nbsp;100% opacity. It&nbsp;blocks the light, so your message&nbsp;always&nbsp;remains&nbsp;visible.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All our banners&nbsp;have&nbsp;an internal&nbsp;scrim&nbsp;makeup,&nbsp;a polyester cording or thread that adds tensile strength to the material. This prevents our vinyl banners from tearing easily during&nbsp;windy conditions&nbsp;and is a big part of the&nbsp;reason why&nbsp;your banner will last for years to come.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rest assured that no matter which material thickness you choose&nbsp;you\u2019ll&nbsp;get a long-lasting vinyl banner. The most important consideration when it comes to thickness is probably whether you want a single-sided banner or a double-sided one. If the latter, make sure to select 18 oz. vinyl.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After&nbsp;determining&nbsp;the thickness and the number of printed sides, the next choice to make is your edge finish.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, our banners\u2019 edges&nbsp;(13 oz.)&nbsp;are heat-welded\u2014not glued or stitched like other banners in the market.&nbsp;The welded helm&nbsp;\u2013for added durability and&nbsp;provided at no extra cost &#8211;&nbsp;prevents the banner from fraying&nbsp;and tearing over time.&nbsp;You can also order banners that are flush-cut or without&nbsp;the welded hem.&nbsp;To do so, select the 18 oz.&nbsp;material.&nbsp;A flush cut edge&nbsp;doesn\u2019t&nbsp;mean that the lifespan will be&nbsp;shortened&nbsp;but&nbsp;rather is&nbsp;a function of the material. The thicker banner&nbsp;option&nbsp;is still plenty durable!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Display options will be the next decision&nbsp;you\u2019ll&nbsp;need to make. The most popular and default&nbsp;option&nbsp;for our banners, and&nbsp;for easy installation and display,&nbsp;is&nbsp;having metal&nbsp;grommets&nbsp;included with your&nbsp;banner.&nbsp;These metal grommets allow you to hang or display the banner in a variety of ways with rope, zip ties, bungee cords, and more.&nbsp;Simply select what grommets&nbsp;option&nbsp;you need and select accordingly.&nbsp;Needless to say, if&nbsp;you plan&nbsp;on hanging&nbsp;your banner then&nbsp;you\u2019ll&nbsp;likely need&nbsp;grommets. A general rule of thumb is that the bigger the size of the banner the more grommets&nbsp;you\u2019ll&nbsp;need so it displays well.&nbsp;&nbsp;Read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/grommets-and-your-signs-signage-101\/\">ALL about grommets here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other&nbsp;extremely popular&nbsp;display&nbsp;option&nbsp;is&nbsp;pole pockets&nbsp;(think: parade banners or championship banners hanging in a gym).&nbsp;Three-inch&nbsp;pole pockets can be placed at the top and bottom of your banner or just the top. It is important to note that pole pockets, like some other&nbsp;option&nbsp;selections, impact&nbsp;what&nbsp;additional&nbsp;banner&nbsp;options are available. For example, banners with pole pockets&nbsp;can\u2019t&nbsp;have the welded hem we outlined&nbsp;above. Our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/banners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">banners product&nbsp;page<\/a>&nbsp;has an&nbsp;easy-to-understand options summary table that will help you get the options you need for your banner&#8217;s end use!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any extra accessories you may need to display your banner are also available during the design process. From rope to zip ties to&nbsp;velcro&nbsp;patches, there are plenty of ways to display your custom banner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Make a Banner&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With a basic understanding of banner materials,&nbsp;and all the various banner options selected, the process of how to make a vinyl banner now turns to the design side.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Designing vinyl banners is easier than most people think. Unlike brochures&nbsp;or flyers&nbsp;that&nbsp;can&nbsp;contain&nbsp;a lot of information, banners&nbsp;by necessity typically&nbsp;focus on&nbsp;just&nbsp;the essential&nbsp;points. Before creating your banner, here are some&nbsp;design&nbsp;considerations you should keep in mind:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Placement&nbsp;and Use&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Location&nbsp;maybe more&nbsp;than anything else&nbsp;influences a banner\u2019s overall design. Think about where you want&nbsp;or need&nbsp;your banner to&nbsp;be displayed. Will you put it against a wall or on the street?&nbsp;In a classroom or outside a business during a grand opening?&nbsp;Considering the background&nbsp;and setting&nbsp;will help you plan the color, size, and the number of printed side(s)&nbsp;of the&nbsp;banner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal is to make your message stand out, so your banner design&nbsp;shouldn\u2019t&nbsp;blend with the environment.&nbsp;(check&nbsp;out this post on more on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/signage-101-letter-height-visibility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">color contrast<\/a>)&nbsp;A bold color against a gray wall will surely make your banner pop out. However, the color scheme should still be representative of your brand.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Purpose&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vinyl banners can be used in&nbsp;different ways. Traditionally, banners are hung against a wall, but they can also be mobile as in the case of parade banners. If you plan to engage crowds&nbsp;at a parade, we recommend using the 13 oz. vinyl for a parade banner.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>13 oz. vinyl<\/strong>&nbsp;is light enough to be carried for&nbsp;long periods&nbsp;but is durable enough to withstand heat and wind. Since your message can be seen from only one side, the&nbsp;13 oz. vinyl is&nbsp;a cost-effective solution with its single-sided printing. We recommend adding pole pockets for inserting wooden dowels&nbsp;or actual poles&nbsp;to prevent the signage from&nbsp;flapping in the&nbsp;wind&nbsp;while marching.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For banners that are hung on posts or along the street, the&nbsp;<strong>18 oz. vinyl&nbsp;<\/strong>is&nbsp;a good choice. The thicker material allows for&nbsp;double-sided&nbsp;printing, so your message can be seen&nbsp;from either&nbsp;direction.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Message and Imagery&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Text and images are essential to getting your point across. The perfect combination of typography and imagery can persuade customers to buy from your store, check out your website, or join a cause. However, having too many design elements&nbsp;or too much text&nbsp;on your banner can&nbsp;overwhelm those that see it. Banners are designed to&nbsp;deliver a clear and concise message, so keep your message to just a few words.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before putting together your design, think about how and where people will view your message. If your&nbsp;customers will&nbsp;see your message from a highway and in a moving car, the size of your banner and artwork\/copy&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/signage-101-letter-height-visibility\/\">should be big enough to be seen quickly<\/a>. A party banner can have a smaller design because&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;stationary. Most people can&nbsp;also&nbsp;get close enough to the sign to read the message&nbsp;at their leisure.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/best-fonts-for-signs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">font sizes, weights, and combinations<\/a>.&nbsp;Sans&nbsp;serif fonts tend to work well because they are easy to read. However, it all goes back to your branding. If your business already has a good following, it&nbsp;doesn\u2019t&nbsp;make sense to change your style for the sake of creating a banner.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally,&nbsp;keep design elements away from the edges. This ensures that&nbsp;no part of your design will be lost during the production process and that&nbsp;people can see the whole message&nbsp;and other&nbsp;important information&nbsp;such as your business address, phone number, or your website. Lastly,&nbsp;and as noted above,&nbsp;consider how your design would look against the background color. Contrasting hues are effective&nbsp;because they put the most important part of your design in the spotlight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the&nbsp;option&nbsp;selection process for your banner is a fixed set of options, designing your banner has no limits to what you can do. If&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;feeling overwhelmed, or just want some professional help,&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;hesitate to reach out to our team of professional graphic&nbsp;designers&nbsp;for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free design help<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Design a Banner Online&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping the above design considerations in mind, you can now confidently&nbsp;say that you know how to&nbsp;create a banner for your business.&nbsp;Armed with this knowledge of how to make a banner,&nbsp;there are plenty of free and paid online design tools&nbsp;to put it all together.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;partnering with a designer, you can use professional tools such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to create your design. These are paid tools that have all the bells and whistles&nbsp;you\u2019ll&nbsp;need for great artwork. However,&nbsp;there\u2019s&nbsp;a steep learning curve if&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;planning to create the design on your own.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&nbsp;are&nbsp;also a plethora of online tools that come with varying levels of functionality if you&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;have, or&nbsp;can\u2019t&nbsp;afford, the standard Adobe products. These online tools typically allow you&nbsp;to then use the file and print it&nbsp;wherever&nbsp;you prefer. Though, some of them will include a watermark that must remain part of your artwork unless you pay&nbsp;some&nbsp;kind of fee or sign up for a premium service.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;not one who has the skills or desire to design your own banner,&nbsp;some&nbsp;custom&nbsp;printers offer&nbsp;paid&nbsp;design services.&nbsp;You can specify exactly how you want your banner to look&nbsp;and then pay by the hour for them to&nbsp;design&nbsp;it for you. Be aware these can be extremely costly and often come with limited or&nbsp;very detailed&nbsp;language around revisions.&nbsp;More often than not&nbsp;these services are also on the slow side. Thus, if&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;in a hurry&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;likely better off&nbsp;to try&nbsp;it on your own or&nbsp;explore&nbsp;other options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to create your design without the steep learning curve, without the extra costs, and without the long wait, Signs.com is your best bet.
