Custom Vinyl Banners Printing
Uses and Benefits of Custom Vinyl Banners Printing
Printed Today delivers premium custom vinyl banners printing for businesses, events and campaigns across the UK. Our 510 GSM PVC material provides durability, colour accuracy and reliable outdoor performance. Moreover, custom vinyl banners remain one of the most cost-effective advertising tools for shops, construction sites, schools, festivals, forecourts, pop-up markets and community events. As a result, they help you communicate your message clearly while keeping your marketing budget under control.
You can order custom printed vinyl banners in any quantity, whether you require a single banner for a local event or a full run of custom promotional vinyl banners for multi-site advertising. Additionally, area-based pricing ensures excellent value, especially when ordering larger banners or multiple sizes. This approach benefits businesses and organisations that want impactful, affordable signage throughout London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and beyond.
Design and Artwork – How It Works
Ways to Supply Artwork for Custom Printed Vinyl Banners
We make the design process straightforward, allowing you to provide artwork through whichever method works best for you:
- Upload your files directly on the product page during checkout.
- Email artwork to [email protected] after ordering. Additionally, if you send artwork before placing an order, use the same email address to prevent delays.
- Send large files via Google Drive, WeTransfer, Dropbox, SendBig or similar services.
Artwork Preparation Guidelines for Vinyl Custom Banner Printing
To achieve a clean, professional finish on your custom printed banners, please follow these artwork recommendations:
- Set the artwork to the exact size of your Custom Vinyl Banners Printing.
- Include a bleed of around 1.5 inches (≈ 38 mm) on all edges.
- Use 100–300 dpi at final size, or a scaled equivalent.
- Submit PDF where possible. However, AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, PNG and JPEG are also accepted.
- Outline text or embed fonts, and supply vector logos for the best results.
Free Artwork Check and Design Support
Our team checks every file before printing your custom PVC vinyl banners. They review size, bleed, resolution and margins. If any adjustment is required, you will receive guidance quickly. Furthermore, if you do not have a design yet, you can send a written brief describing your preferred colours, layout and message.
- You may include logos, images or previous artwork as reference.
- A draft layout is normally provided within 20–30 minutes during working hours.
We only print once you approve the final design. Additionally, if you need your artwork for future campaigns—such as custom business vinyl banners or custom event vinyl banners—we can supply the file upon request.
Sizes and Finishing Options for Custom Vinyl Banners Printing
Popular Banner Sizes (Imperial and Metric)
We offer a wide range of preset sizes for convenience. However, you can also enter your own custom dimensions for complete flexibility:
- 6 × 2 ft – ideal for railings and shop entrances.
- 6 × 3 ft – extra height for high-visibility displays.
- 8 × 3 ft – excellent for shop fronts and stage signage.
- 8 × 4 ft – suitable for large graphics and broad messages.
- 10 × 3 ft – long roadside layouts for stronger impact.
- 12 × 4 ft – wide-format displays for retail parks and gyms.
Metric sizes for sites that work in metres:
- 2m × 1m – great for barriers and construction fencing.
- 3m × 1m – long visibility panels for railings.
- 2m × 0.5m – slim directional signage.
- 5m × 5m – large-format branding for arenas or exhibitions.
This flexibility allows you to create custom exhibition vinyl banners, oversized displays and complete event branding packages.
Finishing, Orientation and Installation
We offer multiple finishing options so your custom vinyl banners install easily and perform well outdoors:
- Hemmed edges for improved durability.
- Metal eyelets spaced roughly every 50 cm.
- Pole pockets for frames, scaffolding or rail systems.
- Landscape, portrait or square orientation.
- Optional cable ties and mounting accessories.
- Folded or rolled packaging; rolled packaging may reduce creasing.
Pricing Structure and Calculator
How Prices Are Calculated for Custom Vinyl Banners Printing.
Our pricing model is clear and consistent. Additionally, it helps you compare costs quickly:
total price = width (ft) × height (ft) × quantity × rate per sq ft
The rate depends on your banner’s size band and your chosen delivery speed. Because of this, you get lower prices when ordering larger banners or when selecting a longer turnaround option.
