| Width | How it is made | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|

| Over 150 cm | Welded from two or more drops — no maximum size | Next day minimum |
Artwork specifications
Bleed, safe margins, colour, resolution, file format
Big files forgive, small files do not at banner scale — check the effective DPI of your artwork before you send it.
| Requirement | What we need | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bleed | 5–10 mm on every edge | |
| Colour mode | CMYK, not RGB | Bright RGB blues and greens sit outside the CMYK gamut and print duller than they look on screen. Send Pantone references for brand colours. |
| Resolution at final size | 30 dpi at the finished size is enough | Measured on the printed piece, not in the file. A file built at 1:10 and 300 dpi gives exactly that, and it is genuinely fine on something read from five metres. Vector and live type carry no resolution at all and scale without loss. |
| File format | PDF preferred — but send what you have | We accept virtually any artwork format and check every file in-house before production. If anything needs adjusting we will tell you immediately, before we print. |
| Fonts | Outlined | Outlined removes any font substitution risk on an overnight job. |
| Images | Embedded in the PDF | Linked images that did not travel with the file are a common cause of a job stalling. |
| Transparency | Supported — no need to flatten | Flattening by hand often causes the white boxes and colour shifts it was meant to avoid. |
| Safe margin | Important detail 50 mm from the edges and any eyelets | The hem folds back on itself and the eyelets punch through it. Anything inside that band is either folded away or has a hole in it. |
Before you upload
- Export a print-ready PDF, vector wherever possible
- Convert fonts to outlines
- Extend backgrounds into the bleed
- Keep important content inside the safe margin
- Check the resolution at the finished size, not in the file
- Check the page size matches the finished size, or state the scale you built at
Send the file even where there is doubt about it. We check bleed, resolution, embedded fonts and page size before anything goes on press, and where a fix is small it is usually just done. A two-minute reply at 9pm is faster than a re-export at 7am.
What turns a same-day job into a next-day one is almost never the printing. It is a question that has to go back to you and sit unanswered — artwork built at the wrong finished size, a logo supplied at screen resolution, or type running off the trim with no bleed behind it. Getting the six points above right removes nearly every one of those.
Hems, eyelets and what keeps a banner on the fence
Our Heavy Duty PVC Banners are built to withstand London’s weather. Printed on 440gsm reinforced vinyl using Latex inks, these banners are waterproof, scratch-resistant, and UV stable. They are the standard for Construction Site Hoardings, Scaffolding Advertising, and Outdoor Events.
Every banner comes fully hemmed (for extra strength) with rust-proof eyelets spaced every 50cm, making them easy to attach to fences or railings. A single drop runs up to 30 metres long and 150cm wide, printed and finished the same day. Because a banner rolls, it travels by bike where a rigid board needs a van — which is why hoarding runs out to Stratford and Wembley Park, and event banners for The O2, still land inside the hour. Anything wider than 150cm is welded from two or more drops, which has no maximum size but is a next-day job rather than same day. We service construction sites in Wembley, Stratford, and Nine Elms with urgent same-day delivery.
Q&A
We print vinyl banners same-day. We can courier them directly to sites in Stratford, Wembley, or Central London within hours.
For high-wind areas (like scaffolding), we recommend "Mesh Banners" which let air flow through. Standard PVC is fine for fences and walls.
We can print banners of almost any length. Common sizes are 2m x 1m or 3m x 1m, but we can seam sections together for giant displays.
Standard spacing is every 50cm, but we can place them closer (e.g., every 30cm) upon request for extra security in windy locations.
Colour matching across an order
Send us your Pantone or CMYK references and we will hold them across every item in the order, so a banner, a foam board and a roller banner produced together read as one set rather than three separate jobs. If you are matching to something already printed, send a physical sample with the artwork and we will match to that instead.
