PVC Banner Print Resolution
Our PVC banners will get your business noticed for all the right reasons. We print at a high quality resolution of 1440dpi to ensure your banner looks crisp and clear when viewed from close up as well as far away. Because we use eco-friendly inks that are weatherproof, UV-resistant, scratch and fade resistant your full-colour PVC banner will continue to look as vibrant as the day it arrived, even when used in outdoor locations. To keep your PVC banner looking its best wash gently using a sponge and warm soapy water.
PVC Banner Material Specifications
We use a lightweight yet durable 510gsm PVC material to make our banners to ensure they look great and last for years to come. You can choose between two mounting options – eyelets or pole pockets. Eyelets are made from nickel plated brass and are usually fitted every two feet around the perimeter of the banner. Pole pockets are sturdily stitched pouches at the edge of the banner into which you slide your poles.

Artwork Guidelines
Hints & Tips for creating your PVC Banner file:
- Keep any important information at least 3cm away from the edge of the banner, if selecting a hemmed edge and eyelets. This avoids any information being “chopped off” during manufacture.
- Ensure your artwork dimensions match the size of the banner you are ordering. This will prevent any unsightly stretching and distortion of your artwork.
- Ensure your artwork is set up to at least 150DPI.
- Consider the file qualities of any logos, icons, and photographs. If they are pixelated on your screen, they will be even more so when printed at a large scale. If your banner is to be viewed from a distance, pixelation becomes less of an issue.
- Recommended file types for best results: PDF, PDF/X
Contact us if you have any questions prior to uploading your artwork and we’ll be happy to offer advice. We’ll also check your artwork for any issues if you ask us to do so.

PVC Banner Printing FAQs
Can PVC banners be used outdoors?
Our banners are guaranteed to last outdoors by using the best quality PVC banner material and waterproof inks.
How do I order a banner?
To place an order online, simply configure, customise and upload your artwork or choose our design service on this page and proceed through checkout.
Can I upload more than one image per order?
If you're ordering more than one banner of the same size, and have various pieces of artwork to supply, our uploader will allow you to add as many images as you need to complete your order.
What is the maximum size you can print my banner?
There is really no maximum size, we can manufacture any size PVC banner.
What is a hemmed edge?
A hemmed edge is where we add 25mm of additional material around all 4 sides of the banner that is folded over and then heat welded or taped around the back. The benefits of a hemmed edge are:
- Stronger banner that is less likely to tear along the edges.
- Double layer of grip for eyelets, meaning they are less likely to rip out.
- Does not affect the overall finish size of the banner.
What is a clean cut edge?
Clean cut edges simply means the material will be trimmed to size with no additional finishing.
What are pole pockets?
Pole pockets can be added when you want to hang your banner on a pole/bracket system. Our pole pocket sizes are based on a flat pocket measurement. As standard, if you require eyelets, banners with pole pockets will only have one eyelet in each corner along the weld line and will not be hemmed. For standard scaffolding poles, 100mm pockets are recommended.
Can you colour match?
Our printers produce CMYK images and artwork supplied in this format will be printed with the colour values stated. We do offer a personalised colour matching service please contact our sales office for more information and pricing.
Can you edit my artwork?
Yes, we can make amendments to your artwork. For this you will need to select one of our design services, which will allow for approx 1 hour or 2 hours design time depending on the package you choose.
