* 1 to 2-Color vinyl banner pricing only applies to banners that have a white background color and up to 2 colors of text and small graphics. We print directly onto vinyl and do NOT glue cut vinyl letters onto colored vinyl banner blanks. If you want a solid background color, you would need to go with one of the other full-color banners listed above.

** Minimum Order Requirement - your order total must be at least $75 total, not including shipping. If your order total doesn't add up to $75, we will complete your job for $75 if you like. We print directly onto large 8 ft. x 250 ft. rolls of vinyl (or 22 other materials) using large format printers to create our vinyl banners. Therefore, we have to have a minimum requirement since we do NOT glue cut vinyl letters and graphics onto a vinyl banner blank.

*** To Calculate Cost: Multiply Length (in ft.) x Width (in ft.) x $Price/sq. ft. (listed above) = Banner Cost (not including shipping). Important Note: Square Foot Pricing ($/sq. ft.) only applies if the total square feet [sq. ft. = Length (ft) x Width (ft.)] is greater than 12 sq. ft. and the shortest side of the vinyl banner is 2 ft or more. For single orders at smaller sizes, please contact us for pricing.

Outdoor Usage
Any of our vinyl banners on the heavy, premium 14.7 oz. banner vinyl will hold up well for 3+ years without fading or tearing in normal outdoor weather conditions. The Type 2 budget banners are printed on 10 oz. banner vinyl which is not recommended for use outdoors, particularly for long-term use. For banners that are 6 ft. in length or larger, we do recommend hemming the banner for added strength around the grommets, especially if they are going to be used outdoors for any length of time.

Grommets and Hemming
We provide reinforced grommets free of charge for hanging your vinyl banners if needed. The reinforced grommets are intended to replace the need to hem small size banners and give the banners a cleaner look. For larger banners that are over 6 ft. in length, we do recommend hemming the edges for extra strength, particularly if they are going to be used outdoors. Hemming is available for an additional $1.00 per square foot for any vinyl banner.

Pole Pockets
If you need pole pockets for hanging your vinyl banners or keeping them extra taunt with weight at the bottom, we will hem the pole pockets for an additional $1.00 per square foot. To learn more about our pole pocket specifications, please visit our file setup page for more information.

Turn-around Time
Our typical turn-around time for our vinyl banners is 2 to 4 business days from the time we receive your files and payment. Our turn-around time is the time it takes us to print your banners and do any necessary trim and finishing work. The shipping time is not included in the turn-around time, because you can choose to ship your vinyl banner using several different options as outlined below.

Shipping Options
You can choose to have your vinyl banners shipped via any method from Priority Overnight to Ground Shipping using FedEx, UPS, DHL, or USPS. We will even ship the vinyl banners to you using your shipping account information if you prefer.
