In a London facility that prints them all.

Files and payment in by 21:00 are normally ready before 9am, with courier delivery across London and express runs of about an hour into Central London; a £95 minimum applies to work produced outside normal hours.

“Banner” covers four different products with four different jobs, and choosing wrong is the usual reason one fails: mesh on a wall it did not need, PVC on scaffolding it could not survive, a cassette stand where a hemmed drop belonged. Here is the short version of which is which.
Banner types and turnaround
| Type | What it is for | Same day | Overnight |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVC banner, hemmed with eyelets | Walls, railings, hoardings, events — up to 30 m single drop | Up to 150 cm wide | Yes |
| Mesh banner | Windy elevations and scaffolding — air passes through the weave | Subject to capacity | Yes |
| Fabric banner or display | Indoor premium finish, no shine under lights | Subject to capacity | Yes |
| Roller / roll-up banner | Events, receptions, exhibitions — self-standing, carried in a bag | Yes | Yes |
| Feather flag | Pavements and forecourts — movement catches the eye | Subject to capacity | Yes |
How fast, and where to?
Banners up to 150 cm wide are routinely produced same day; larger drops usually run overnight. Rolled banners travel by motorbike — the fastest vehicle in Central London traffic — with express runs into EC1–EC4, W1, WC1–WC2, E14 and SW1, and deliveries to ExCeL and Olympia timed for the build-up. If the question is really “who is nearest”, the near-me guide answers that one directly.
What decides the price
Size, material and finishing — a 2-metre hemmed PVC banner and a 20-metre mesh wrap are different jobs, not different quantities of the same one. The quote is firm and assumes a print-ready file: send the size, the material (or ask and we recommend one) and the deadline. How print pricing is built is covered in the pricing guide.

| Setting | What we need |
|---|---|
| Format | Print-ready PDF (PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4 preferred); native packaged files accepted |
| Colour | CMYK, not RGB; Pantone references for brand colours |

| Bleed | 5–10 mm on large-format PVC and mesh; 3 mm on cassette banners |
| Fonts | Outlined or fully embedded |
| Double-sided | Two clearly named files, front and back |
Send the file to info@silverimagelondon.com with the size, the deadline and the delivery address — or use WeTransfer for anything large. A problem spotted at 21:00 costs nothing; the same problem at 07:00 costs the deadline, so thirty seconds in our free preflight checker is worth it — it reads the file in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Can you print large PVC banners overnight?
Yes. Most standard sizes are ready before 9am when the file and payment arrive by 21:00.
How wide can a same-day banner be?
Up to about 150 cm as a rule of thumb. Wider drops are normally produced overnight.
Do roller banners come with the stand?
Yes — cassette, pole and carry bag are included as standard.
Which material should I use outdoors in wind?
Mesh. The weave lets air through, which is what keeps a large banner and its fixings intact on an exposed elevation.
Do you deliver banners to exhibition venues?
Yes. Early-morning runs to ExCeL, Olympia and other venues are routine, timed for the build-up.
Need a banner made?
Send the size, the material if you know it, and the deadline. A firm quote and a material recommendation come back before anything goes to press.
