Can I get a double-sided banner?

Yes, we supply double-sided banners. We can create maximum strength banners by printing on two separate pieces of vinyl, which are then heat-welded together to create a strong double-sided banner. The max print size of double-sided banners is 4′ x 20′

Can I include logos or graphics on my advertising banner?

Yes! Logos and graphics are available to add a personal touch to your banner. If you have your own artwork then you can send this over at time of order. Alternatively, we can help design the artwork you require for your banner.

Can I get wind slits in my banner?

We do not recommend wind slits in banners, although this can be done for individual printed promotional banners. It’s better to allow wind to pass through your banner using our mesh material.

 Do your banners come with grommets?

Yes! Our standard finish for our advertising banners is heat welded hems with grommets. Grommets are placed in all four corners of the banner and every 2-4 feet around the perimeter (depending on size and your preference).

What materials are used for promotional and advertising banners?

Most promotions banners are printed on types of PVC or scrim vinyl. This high-quality material is rated for both indoor and outdoor use and also has UV protection and is water resistant. We also have mesh banners, canvas banners and fabric banners available for your promotional and advertising needs. Don’t forget to check out our sustainable ECO range.

Do you install flagpoles?

Are there rules for flying flags?

There are protocols for flying flags in the United Kingdom. A full list of the flying protocols can be found here.

 Do I need permission to fly a flag?

If your flag is a national flag, then you do not need permission to fly it. Any flags that constitute advertising of a brand or event or anything with logos, then it’s best to check with your local planning authority first.

How long will my flag last?

It’s impossible to tell how long any flag will last. There are a lot of contributing factors in relation to the life expectancy of a flag such as material, location, weather conditions and how well its looked after. You can extend the life span of a flag by making sure it isn’t flying in winds over 25mph and also by getting it cleaned regularly. Contact us to enquire about our popular flag change maintenance packages.
