Q: Should I cut wind holes into my banner sign?
A: We do not recommended cutting any wind holes. Modern PVC Vinyl Banner Materials are cross hatched and layered to prevent excessive tearing.

Q: Can I re-use my banner?
A: Yes, if your banner is manufactured by us using self adhesive banner lettering, you can remove the section of lettering at a later stage and replace with newer graphic designs or lettering etc.

Q: I want cheaper, can you use a light weight?
A: Our sign company no longer uses light weight banner sign materials. We have tried all materials over the years and only use the products shown in our online banner colour sections. We can use other manufacturers materials if they suitably match or exceed the quality of our tried and tested vinyl materials. We care about your signage.

Q: How much cheaper would light weight be?
A: The saving for using a light weight banner is not available, very little quality sign companies use light weight materials, so the opportunity to purchase in bulk is reduced.

A: Yes, we use specialty self adhesive vinyl that adheres to a PVC vinyl surface, additionally, the lettering material is designed for background flexibility.

Q: How big can you make my banner sign?
A: Unlimited sizes are availabe. Our ability to heat weld banner joins means strong overall material strength. To-date, our biggest banner sign (1 piece) was 60 metres x 3700mm High for a global tyre company.

Once you have purchased your banner and it has arrived at your location, you will be ready to begin the installation process. As we mentioned in our article on “Finding the Perfect Location for Your Banner,” you will need to first focus on where you will hang your banner before you focus on how you will hang it. Once you have found the perfect location, you're ready to move on to the next step.

Your location should not only be visible, but it should provide you with a way to easily affix the banner to its surface. Whether you plan to permanently install your banner or you plan on a temporary installation, this is a very important factor. You will need to make sure that you can either drill holes to fasten the banner, or that there are places to tie off a rope if you plan to use this method for installation.

 Unless otherwise specified, all of our signage banners are constructed on a medium weight PVC Banner material. The following is a brief description of our medium weight banners. Materials will be hemmed, and eyeleted  every 800-1000 mm unless otherwise specified. Let us know any requirement of eyeleting. Brass eyelets are very cheap and we can press & place anywhere to suit your style of banner sign.
All banners are sewn with 5mm rope top and bottom with approx 800 mm tie off ropes / ends.

 

Storing your banner sign.

Do not fold your banner sign. It is better to roll your banner sign around a pole or cardboard tube. Avoid creating creases in your signage by always rolling up your banner signage. Keep your banner sign dry and away from moisture, in the same manner as you would store your camping equipment.


Our sign company has wide experience in supplying big signage fast. If you have urgent needs for signs all over Australia.. you may call Toll Free Anytime.

Our Buy Direct and Save POLICY:

Our signage company buys materials in Bulk, and pass these savings directly to you. We ensure high quality in every project and we care about your marketing with signage.

 


Making your outside banner Sign.. Stand out! 


1. Use the largest size available for your banner signage that suits the location or placement of your banner.  Our online price calculator automatically give you a discounted rate when the banner sign becomes larger.

For example, a small 1000 x 1000 medium weight banner will cost more per m2 than a 6000 x 3000 banner per m2.

The larger your banner sign, the further the reader can view your message.

When measuring your signage, calculate all size in Millimetres.

If you are unsure of millimeters, please call us and we can help you convert to your measurement. E.G. 2400 mm = 2.4 metres.
2400 mm = 8 Feet.

Use Contrasting Colours and Lettering:-

1. Use a background colour that allows your sign to stand out from the crowd.
Note: In most cases, a White background is often more suitable and will allow your lettering to stand out more.

2. Use a lettering colour that allows your message to be easily read. Light lettering colours on light backgrounds are not recommended, similarly, dark lettering on dark backgrounds are not recommended.

General Banner and Sign Design tips:

Choose colors that will not blend together and opt for combinations that are easy on the eyes. While Burgundy on Black is not a very readable choice, this colour combination will look fantastic for imagery. Keep in mind, however, that by choosing tone-on-tone variations you are sacrificing readability. If your potential customers can't easily read your sign, chances are they'll ignore it. Over the long haul, that can result in a significant loss of business. In most cases, the farther away you can read your advertisement the better. Some good color selections are yellow with black, yellow with green, white with any dark color (i.e. blue with white, red with white, etc.). The key is to choose colors that sharply contrast each other so as to leap off the design. If you're still set on using dark combinations, like red on black, consider outlining the edge of your letters in white. This technique allows for separation between the colors and will attract your audience's eye much better.


Choose a shape that fits your design's intended concept. For example, if you are designing a sign with long rows of text, then opt for a long rectangular sign to accommodate your lettering. Do not attempt to squeeze it all in on a square sign. Doing so will force you to use smaller letters and will result in a lot of wasted space. The same rule of thumb applies if your intended design requires several short rows of text, one on top of the other. In this instance, opt for a sign shaped to fit your lettering.

Keep your sign simple. Give your audience only the details they need and no more. The more you try to squeeze into your design, the more it detracts from the sign's effectiveness. General rule of thumb: If it needs to be said say it; if not, leave it off.

Fill as much of the sign's area as possible. This doesn't mean you should get carried away and start adding text or graphics to every square inch of the design. Fill as much of the space in with your text as you can (remember, large letters can be read from a farther distance) then get creative with the remaining free space to make it as attractive and eye-appealing as possible.

Graphics, colors, borders, shadows, etc., all add their own flavor to your design. Be bold and experiment with a few of these techniques to see what you come up with; you might be pleasantly surprised with the results. We have the ability to create any or all of these enhancements if you wish to incorporate them into your design.

Alignment is extremely important in a design's overall visual appeal. We have tools that can center-, left- or right-align all of your text for you. If the design is meant to be aligned, make sure that it is. If not, make it obvious that the design was purposely misaligned. You don't want your advertisement to appear amateurish. If your design's elements are not in proper alignment, it will show.

Our final piece of do-it-yourself design advice is to examine other designs. Search for some existing designs you like for inspiration. To that end, we add new design templates to our database on a regular basis.

If, having reviewed all these design tips, you are still feeling uncomfortable about the prospect of designing your own sign, you can send your request to our customer service staff. They will be happy to work within your specifications to create a design you will be thrilled with.

Finding the perfect location & view for your banner sign.



When installing a banner sign in .au, consider the best possible view... from the approaching reader.

If you have decided to purchase a banner, it is very important to place your new banner is a position that will present your message and your company the most good. By selecting the proper location, viewing angle of height, you can ensure that your new purchase will perform beyond expectations and that it will be able to function to the utmost. Banner signs are a cheap sign... but... importantly... possibly your most effective business marketing.

“Location, location, location,” applies to more than real estate. When you are hanging a banner, this is the most important factor. Here are some useful tips to help you find the best location for your banner.

DESIGN TIP: KEEP YOUR MESSAGE CLEAR, QUICK AND IMPORTANT.

1. Make it Visible – Placing a banner on the wrong side of your building or under an overhang can greatly reduce the ability of potential customers to see this banner. You will need to make sure that your banner is located where it can be easily seen from the majority of directions and angles.

2. Stand back and be the reader – Before you finalize your banner's position, try viewing the banner sign in several different angles and positions. Then, place yourself in your customer's position. Is it visible from the road, sitting in a car? Can it be easily seen from across the street in multiple directions? You will need to find the one location that provides the most visibility. Take some time with this step to make sure that your final location is the right location.

3. Remember the Elements – Weather can be detrimental to your new banner. If it is not secure properly, your banner may flap in the wind, making it difficult to read by passing pedestrians and vehicles.

4.  Update your message. Above, a brief description of the Keder installation system is discussed. This is particularly useful for updating your banner sign messages easily.

All marketing requires updating and modernisation. Use your banner signs to convey messages suited to your promotional activities.

By following these steps, you will be able to get the most out of your banner signage, both in actual life of the banner and effectiveness in getting your message across.
