We've been in the custom sign industry in the Durham and surrounding regions including Clarington, Ajax, Pickering, and Bowmanville for over 10 years, and we'd love to share our expertise with you.
In this post, we'll help you think of all the things you need to consider when getting custom banner signage as well as where you can get the best. Let's get started!
A banner is an effective form of advertising
How to Find Quality Custom Banner Signage
Banners are great for both short and long-term advertising. When done right, they can make an incredible impact and are really effective at getting your message out there.
They work well for advertising grand openings, upcoming events, special sales, trade shows, parties and so much more. If you want a lot of people to know that something is happening, then a banner is a great choice.
Step 1: Decide on the Type of Banner You Want
There are many different types of banners available, each with their own advantages and purpose. You need to choose the type that will suit your needs the best and get you the most exposure possible.
A large, eye-catching banner will give you great visibility
Single-Sided Hanging Banners
A single-sided hanging banner is a great choice if you are going to be hanging it on the outside of a building or wall. They work well for:
Grand Openings
Special Events
Retail Promotions
Parties and more!
They are easy to hang up at the start of your promotion and to take down when it is finished.
Banners on the side of a building are a great way to promote a sale
Double-Sided Hanging Banners
A double-sided banner is similar to the single-sided banner. However, they have your message printed on both sides. They can be hung up to be seen from both directions to give your event even more visibility. They can be used to advertise:
Grand Openings
Sporting Events
Retail Promotions
Special Events
Parties and more!
They are usually hung up across a street, driveway, parking lot, and more - anywhere they can be seen from both sides.
Vertical Banners
Vertical banners are especially good at catching peoples’ attention
Vertical banners are a style similar to the more common horizontal banners. As its name suggests, a vertical banner is displayed vertically instead of horizontally.
Vertical banners catch people’s eyes because they are not used to seeing banners oriented this way. They work especially well for:
Grand Openings
Retail Promotions
Special Events
Additional Store Signage
Multiple vertical banners are often placed along the side of the road or at the edge of a parking lot can be used to create a great impact.
Arena Banner Stands
An arena banner stand is a large framed banner that can be pulled out of its casing when it needs to be displayed and then rolled back inside when you need to store it away. These types of banners are great for:
Trade Shows
Sidewalk Displays
Restaurants
Farmers' Markets
Golf Courses
Charity Events
Special Promotions
The biggest advantage of an arena banner stand is that it is freestanding and portable.
Arena stand banners are great because they are free-standing
Step 2: Decide on the Size of Banner You Need
Banners can come in practically any size you need, from a smaller arena banner stand to an enormous banner that can span the entire side of a building.
Some signage companies will have a maximum size that you can order, so if you need a really big size, make sure you choose a company that can accommodate the size of banner that you need.
Make sure you get the size of banner you want - don’t settle for something smaller
Step 3: Choose the Right Materials for Your Banner
You want to make sure that your banner is going to last and be able to withstand the elements, especially if it is going to be hung up outside and be exposed to inclement weather.
Not all custom banner signage companies are the same, and not all banners are made with the same quality.
Your banner should be made from a premium vinyl that can handle exposure to the rain and snow. If your banner will be in a very windy spot, you might want to consider having it made from mesh canvas. Mesh canvas is strong and can stand up against a lot of wind.
You can also choose between seamed or stitched sides on your banner. It should also have grommets for hanging it up and to keep it from tearing.
A reliable custom banner signage company will be able to advise you about the best type of material to use for your banner depending on where it will be hung.
Choose a full-service company to make your custom banner signage
Step 4: Choose a Full-Service, Local Custom Banner Signage Company
It is best to work with a custom banner signage company that does every part of the banner making process from helping you with your design, to manufacturing your banner, and to the installation if you need it hung up for you.
A full-service signage company will be there for you from start to finish. They will know exactly what you want because they will have met with you and listened to what you need.
If they are a local company too, they can even visit the site where your banner will be hung to better advise you about the best sizing and materials for your project.
A local company will also know about any signage bylaws that you may need to follow when hanging up your banner outside.
