Banner Printing in Cannock and the West Midlands
Custom banner printing for businesses, schools, events and organisations. Choose from PVC, mesh and PVC free banner options, with practical help from Printmonster.
Custom Printed Banners for Businesses and Events
Printed banners are a practical way to display advertising, branding or information across a larger space.
They can be used outside business premises, at events, on fences and railings, at schools and community activities, or anywhere a temporary large format display is needed.
Printmonster produces custom banners in Cannock for customers throughout Staffordshire and the wider West Midlands.
The best banner for your project depends on where it will be displayed, its dimensions, how it will be secured and whether it will be used indoors or outdoors.
You do not need to decide every technical detail before contacting us. Tell us what you need the banner for and where you plan to display it, and we can discuss the available options.
Banners are part of our wider display signage service, where you can also explore printed boards, window graphics, floor graphics and other signage options.
Choosing the Right Banner Material
Not every banner needs the same material.
Printmonster offers PVC, mesh and PVC free banner options. The most suitable choice depends on the intended use, display location and size.
PVC Banner Printing
PVC is commonly used for printed banners and can suit a wide range of business, promotional and event applications.
It provides a solid printed surface for logos, photographs, wording and other graphics and can be finished to suit the intended method of display.
If you are looking for a general purpose printed banner, PVC may be one of the options we discuss with you.
Mesh Banner Printing
Mesh banner material contains small openings that allow some air to pass through the material.
This can make mesh worth considering for certain larger outdoor applications and more exposed locations.
However, the suitability of any outdoor banner depends on factors including its size, position, fixing method and exposure.
If you are unsure, send us a photograph or description of where the banner will be displayed.
PVC Free Banner Options
PVC free banner materials provide another option for customers who want an alternative to conventional PVC banner material.
If this is important for your project, mention it when requesting a quote so that we can discuss the available material and whether it suits the intended application.

What Can Printed Banners Be Used For?
Banner printing can suit a wide range of temporary advertising, promotional and information needs.
Businesses may use banners to advertise a promotion, announce an opening, display branding or communicate temporary information.
Schools, charities, clubs and community organisations can use them for events, activities and celebrations.
They can also be useful for exhibitions, sports events, construction related displays and other situations where a message needs to be seen across a larger space.
The design should reflect how people will see the banner.
Something viewed from across a road, car park or event space normally needs larger wording and a simpler message than a banner viewed at close range.
A banner does not need to contain every piece of information about your business. A clear logo, short message and important contact details will often be easier to understand.
Choosing Your Banner Size
There is no single banner size that works for every project.
Before ordering, measure the area where the banner will be positioned.
It also helps to consider the viewing distance and what surrounds the banner.
For example, a design that looks large on a computer screen can appear very different when displayed across a wide outdoor space.
If you know the required dimensions, include them with your enquiry.
Alternatively, send us the measurements of the available space and we can discuss a suitable size.
A photograph of the intended location can also be useful.
Banner Finishing and Display
How you intend to display your banner is an important part of the specification.
Depending on the project, banners can be supplied with finishing such as eyelets and reinforced or hemmed edges where appropriate.
Tell us how you plan to hang or secure the banner when requesting your quote. This gives us useful information when discussing the material and finishing.
Outdoor banners need particular consideration because their location and exposure can affect them.
Wind, fixing points, dimensions and the structure to which the banner is attached should all be taken into account.
If you need a portable, self supporting indoor display rather than a banner that needs securing in position, take a look at our roller banner printing.
Artwork for Banner Printing
Banner artwork needs to work at a much larger finished size than many everyday printed products.
Logos, photographs and other graphics therefore need to be suitable for enlargement.
If you already have artwork, send us the file and let us know the required finished dimensions. We can check what you have before production.
Vector logos can be particularly useful because they can normally be enlarged without the same loss of definition associated with low resolution bitmap images.
You can learn more about this in our vector and raster artwork guide.
For wider artwork preparation advice, see our guide to supplying print ready artwork.
If you do not have finished artwork, Printmonster can also provide artwork and design support [LINK: https://printmonster.co.uk/expert-design/] for suitable projects.

A 4 Metre Carnival Banner for St George’s School
Sometimes a banner needs to do more than display a message. For St George’s School, we produced a 4 metre printed banner designed to become part of their float for the Astwood Bank Carnival.

Banner printing FAQ
What types of printed banners are available?
Printmonster offers PVC, mesh and PVC free banner options. The right choice depends on the size, location and intended use of the banner.
Can you print custom size banners?
Banner requirements vary, so send us the dimensions you require or measurements of the available display area. We can then discuss what is suitable for the project.
Can printed banners be used outdoors?
Banner materials can be suitable for outdoor applications, but the location needs to be considered. Size, wind exposure, fixing points and how the banner will be secured can all be relevant.
What is the difference between PVC and mesh banners?
PVC provides a solid printable surface. Mesh contains small openings that allow some air to pass through, making it worth considering for certain outdoor and larger format applications.
Can I have eyelets in my banner?
Eyelets and other finishing options are available depending on the banner and intended method of display. Tell us how you plan to secure the banner when requesting a quote.
What artwork should I supply?
If you already have finished artwork, send it with the dimensions required. PDF or original artwork files can be useful, while suitable vector files are preferable for logos that need substantial enlargement.
Can Printmonster design my banner?
Printmonster can provide artwork and design support for suitable banner projects. Send us your logo, wording, branding and any photographs or other content you would like included.
