Personalised Vinyl Banners
Personalised Vinyl Banner Printing – Uses and Benefits
Printed Today produces high-quality personalised vinyl banners that help your promotions stand out effortlessly. Because we print on tough 510 GSM PVC, these banners work exceptionally well as personalised outdoor banners and personalised indoor banners, giving you a flexible branding option for retail, events, exhibitions, sports days, school fairs and seasonal marketing. Additionally, they remain bright and weatherproof, so your message stays visible in all conditions.
Many customers choose cheap personalised banners for birthdays, parties and celebrations, while businesses use personalised advertising banners for shop fronts, launches and roadside visibility. Moreover, our personalised promotional banners remain affordable due to simple area-based pricing. Whether you need one banner or an entire campaign, you receive clear costs and fast UK-wide delivery.
Design and Artwork – How to Create Your Custom Personalised Banners
Ways to Supply Artwork for Personalised Banner Printing
You can upload your artwork on the product page during checkout or email your files to [email protected] after ordering. Large designs for personalised PVC banners can be shared through Google Drive, WeTransfer, Dropbox or SendBig. Using the same email address throughout the process ensures smooth coordination and reduces delays.
Artwork Preparation Guidelines
To achieve the sharpest print quality for personalised vinyl banners, please follow these design recommendations:
- Set your artwork to match the exact banner size you are ordering.
- Add a bleed of approximately 1.5 inches (≈ 38 mm) on all sides.
- Use 100–300 dpi for personalised banner printing; large banners viewed from a distance may allow lower dpi.
- Provide artwork in PDF format where possible, although AI, EPS, PSD, PNG, TIFF and JPG are accepted.
- Outline all fonts or embed them to prevent unwanted substitutions.
Free Artwork Check and Design Support
Every order includes a free artwork check. We verify bleed, resolution, spacing and clarity before sending your print to production. If you don’t have a design ready, simply share your text, colours and preferred layout. Our designers prepare a draft proof—often within 20–30 minutes during working hours—so you can approve the final look quickly.
Sizes and Finishing Options for Personalised Vinyl Banners
Popular Banner Sizes (Imperial and Metric)

Finishing, Orientation and Installation
Your personalised vinyl banners can be finished in several ways depending on how and where you intend to display them:

- Pole pockets at the top or bottom for rails, frames and stands.
- Landscape, portrait or square orientations.
- Rolled or tube packaging to minimise creasing.
Pricing Structure and Calculator
How Prices Are Calculated for Personalised Outdoor & Indoor Vinyl Banners
Our pricing method remains simple and transparent. Since personalised vinyl banners use area-based calculations, you only pay for the space you print. The formula is:
total price = width (ft) × height (ft) × quantity × rate per sq ft
Rates differ by square footage and by delivery service—Standard, 72-hour, 48-hour, 24-hour or Same Day. Consequently, you can control both speed and cost easily.
