Fabric Banner Material

Fabric banners are printed using a direct dye sublimation printing process. The ink goes through the material to create an eye-popping print. All of our fabric banners are printed in full color. The max print width is 58 inches. We recommend only using fabric banners indoors.

Our fabric material is temperature sensitive and due to the printing process it can expand and contract due to heat or cold. Because of this we cannot guarantee the exact size of any fabric product due to temperature fluctuations. We are not responsible for any product received that is too small or big for your purposes. If the size needs to be precise, such as if it is being installed into an existing frame or hardware, please express this to your CSR to discuss your specific application.

Fabric banners are printed on a variety of different materials:

• Banner Soft - Used for banners and backdrops
  • Most common fabric banner material
  • Material has a low shine
  • Thicker than Satin Fabric
  • Material is fire rated (NFPA-701 certified)

Artwork

Design Methods

If you select "Pick a Template" or "Upload a File," you will be taken into the online designer where you can add a background image, upload clip art images, add text, and upload your own graphics. If you want us to design the artwork, choose "Let Us Design" and a pop-up window will appear where you can upload any logos or images and provide special instructions.

Artwork Guidelines

For complete guidelines, please visit the artwork specifications page.

Files that print best are .eps converted to outline. We can also print high resolution .pdf, .tif, and .jpg formats. Typically 300 dpi or higher is suitable for banners.

We print in four colors CMYK or six colors CMYK, LC, LM. Please keep this in mind when submitting files for printing as color tone shifting may happen if the file is submitted in RGB format. If there is a specific PMS color you need, please specify that to us when submitting your order so we can help you verify that the proper color mix is used (vector artwork only).

Customer supplied files are printed as submitted, so we cannot guarantee color, clarity or final output since we are printing only the supplied files and have not set them up for printing.

All of our printers are calibrated daily to ICC coloring profile standards to ensure accurate color production.

Artwork Proofs

During the checkout process, you can choose to have your artwork go straight into production after payment is received* or have an artwork proof emailed to you. The proof will include a low-resolution image of your artwork, a summary of your order, pricing information, and your billing and shipping information. If you select an additional proof, you will have to email or call the customer service representative back with approval before your order will go into production.

*We review all artwork before putting it into production. If we notice that the quality of your artwork is too low for production, we will email you even if you didn't select the additional artwork proof.
