There are a number of advantages to buying a vinyl banner.  Here are some of them:

1.  Banners are inexpensive!

At a time when everyone is watching how they spend their money, a product that helps stretch your dollar goes a long way.  At a fraction of the cost of normal advertising, banners are gaining popularity because they can do the job needed in a tight economy.  You get sharp graphics and colorful images printed with eye-catching results.  You see details even from a certain distance.  It is a bargain deal considering the quality you get for the price you pay.

2.  Banners are durable and long-lasting!

Unlike paper or poster board, vinyl banners are made from a synthetic material.  They are durable, flexible, and can be used again and again, indoors or outdoors.  Keep them clean, store them safely, and a banner can last a long time.

3.  Banners are weather resistant!

Vinyl banners have a longer life than conventional materials because they are water resistant.  The thickness of the vinyl provides the additional strength needed for added support and extended life.  It stands up to more extreme wind conditions and rain flows off it without harming the images.  It’s ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.

4.  Banners are fade resistant!

Text, graphics and images last longer on vinyl banners, even with prolonged exposure to the sun and spotlights.  Other signs start to look dull under extreme light sources, but banners continue to look good.

5.  Banners are environmentally friendly!

Unlike paper products that need to be replaced after one use, banners can be reused many times.  Here at BargainBanners.com we use an ink that is ecologically-friendly; it’s safe for our employees to use, and safe for the environment when we are done.

6.  Banners can go where your customers are!

With vinyl banners you can advertise in locations most traditional advertising misses:  trade shows, craft fairs, flea markets, fundraisers, festivals, parades, concerts, sporting events, car rallies or any time you need temporary signage.  Vinyl banners can be used indoors or outdoors AND they are easy to transport!  When it comes to advertising, location is important, and with banners, your message can be there!

7.  Banners make GREAT Party Decorations!

Vinyl banners make ideal decorations for any party.  A banner can be customized to match the theme, the colors, the occasion, and say exactly what you want said.  Whether it’s for a birthday party, wedding party, grand opening party, welcome home party, graduation party, anniversary, or any other kind of party, a banner will help make your event the best!

Print-Ready Artwork Specifications:

Let’s say for example that you have ordered a 16 foot wide by 4 foot high banner.  You would provide your artwork to the size of your order (16′x12″ = 192 inches) wide x (4′x12″= 48 inches) tall x 100 dots per inch).  Ideally it’s best if we receive a rasterized & flattened file saved as a high quality (95%+) .JPG file.  RGB mode artwork is fine, but please at least be aware what your artwork looks like in CMYK .   For some larger banners, artwork as low as 75 or 50 DPI also works very well.

Ultimately, we are likely to be able to work with whatever file you have.  For any images that are not pre-rasterized when you send them, we will most likely send a proof to verify that no font substitutions or other issues arose from the vector artwork.  Rasterized high quality JPG files at 100 dpi seem to very reliably work best.

How to Send Your Artwork:

Simply click ‘reply’, and attach your image to your automatic order confirmation email.  If your order confirmation email does not arrive immediately, please check your junk email folder for it.  Since the email is automatically sent to you, it should arrive very quickly.    Please let us know if you don’t receive your automatic order confirmation email after ordering.  You can also reply to any other email we have sent you in the past and attach your artwork.  Please be sure to reference the related order number in the subject line.  

The customer service email address can receive attached files up to 20 MB.  You can send over multiple files in separate emails if necessary.  For even larger files we have found that www.yousendit.com has a great free large file transfer feature.  Please always reference your order number along with your artwork.
