We believe in passing these savings to our customer.

- 8)
- Why don’t you offer next-day or two-day shipping?
- To keep our costs low and to expedite orders, we utilize more than one print shop in and outside of the US. We distribute your print orders to our different locations depending on the workload, so your banners and signs could be printed in a location that cannot offer next-day or two-day shipping to the US. We do offer expedited shipping options (4 days or less from proof approval to delivery). Please contact us if you need it sooner.
- 9)
- Do you ship outside the US?
- Yes. Please contact us for shipping information to locations outside the United States.
- 10)

You approve your design proof before we print your order when proof is requested. This allows us to virtually eliminate any errors. If there is still an error on our part, we will refund your total order amount, including shipping. Once you contact customer service and confirm the error, your refund will be processed within 48 hours.
Note: Sometimes there might be a slight variance between colors on the proof and on the actual product. This could be for many reasons including resolution of your screen, so these variations are not considered errors. Please see FAQ below for more detail on colors.
- 11)
- How many colors can I use?
- While many online printers restrict the number of colors, photos and graphics you can use, we have no restrictions or limits on these. We can print as many colors as you want.
- 12)
- Can you print on both sides of a banner or sign?
- We do offer two sided banners that are two banners put together. This way the banners are double thick, so the print won't show through and they’re twice as durable for a longer life. We do not print on both side of same vinyl.
- 13)
- What are the recommended file/artwork upload specifications?
-
Acceptable Formats : EPS (Encapsulated Post Script), AI (Adobe Illustrator), PDF (Adobe PDF), PSD (Adobe Photoshop), JPG (High Resolution JPEG), TIFF (High Resolution TIFF). When submitting these files be sure to convert all fonts to outlines or curves.
Vector Files : Line art is scalable to any size, it never loses resolution and the image stays clean and crisp. Because of this, it can be submitted at any size that is in proportion to your banner size.
Raster Files/Images : Depending on the resolution and Pixel base, images like PSD, JPG, TIFF becomes blurry when enlarged. If submitting these files please follow the guidelines below:
- 100% scale (full size output) at 100 dpi
- 50% scale at 200 dpi or higher
- 25% scale at 300 dpi or higher
- 10% scale at 600-1200 dpi recommended
Thumbnail sized jpg and gif files are not at a high enough resolution to use on large prints like banners.
File Tips:
- No bleeds are necessary (unless ordering a banner stand that requires one).
- Set the size in proportion to the exact size banner you are ordering.
- To prevent any text or images from falling on the hemline or in a grommet space, you will want to keep them at least 2" away from edge.
- Convert all text to outlines.
- 14)
- Can I get a custom size banner?
- Yes. You can enter customer size in feet in the Instant price menu. For Example: for 4ft 6 inches by 10 ft 4 inches banner, just put 4.5 x 10.33 in the instant price box. Also, pls make sure to put the custom size in the special instructions box. Your banner will be printed exact size with less than inch of maximum variation.
