Fabric Banner - Premium

Create your file in CMYK mode with a resolution of 300dpi.
If you file has been created in RGB or includes RGB objects, we recommend converting the file to CMYK.
Your artwork should reflect only what you need to be printed in the final product. Do not include bleeding or crop marks in your artwork and make certain is sent in the same size as you have ordered or in the same ratio.
In order to provide you the fastest turn around, all artworks for Large Format products are sent directly to press and we do not have a PDF proof option available. We will not be responsible for any reprints if your file is sent in size ratio different than the measurements specified in your order. If you need a decimal size or special size, you requested through our "Estimate" section.
If you are working with vector images (in programs like Adobe Illustrator), the final size artwork is not necessary unless you have placed photographs into your document. Then the above guidelines will apply.
All fonts should be converted to curves or outlines. We suggest your files to be flatten or rasterized if possible to minimize the file size.
We accept the following file formats: EPS, TIF, PSD, & PDF files. JPG files are accepted, but they must be prepared properly (It's strongly suggested that the JPG is created the closest size possible to the final print size or at least in a 50% scale with 300dpi).

Standard Grommets: Silver grommets are evenly place along the edge of your banners, including the corners, on an average of every 3ft.
(Ex. A banner 8' X 4' would have 4 grommets on top and 4 grommets on bottom.)
4 Corners Grommets: Grommets are placed only on the 4 corners of the banner.
All Banners equal and smaller than 4ft x 2ft will only include grommets in the corners.
Standard Grommets Top Only: Grommets are evenly place only on the top edge of your banners on an average of every 3ft.
Top Corners Only: Grommets are placed only on Top corners of the banner.
Holding Grommets (Pole Pocket Banners Only): Holding grommets refers to our sliver nickel grommets placed on the edges right were the pole pocket starts. These grommets improve the strength of the pole pocket for heavier rods or poles. This option is also gives the banner the option to be hanged by the grommets when poles are not available.

Pole pockets are made by folding an extra 3 inches of blank media towards the back side of the banner and sewing it together. Your artwork should include a "safety zone" of 3", within your final size, along the sides that the pole pocket will be created. Avoid any important text or logos in this area. If you have a white background on your artwork please include a bounding box with a gray 1pt stroke.

For 8 feet (height) banners please be advised that the pole pockets will reduce your final size 6 inches due to the pocket fold. Pole pockets longer than 8 feet may include an extra charge of $5.00.

If you need a pole pocket for a pole thicker than 1" please indicated in the Special Instructions Box at the time of uploading your artwork.

Instructions for Double Sided Banners with Pole Pockets:
1. Measure the Height of the Base , if any, from the top of the upper pole to the bottom of the lower pole. (This Height will be your Final Size.This size)
2. Measure the thickness of the Pole.
3. After measuring the thickness of the pole, double that quantity and bleed out that measure on your artwork in the top and in the bottom.
4. The bleed out section on your artwork will be fold it backwards to create the pole pocket. Please make sure the fold will not cover any important information in the other side within your final size. Your safety area will be the same measure as the Bleed out measure.
5. If you have a different image on the back of your banner:
On the Front Side, in the Bleed out Section, flip your image horizontally and vertically to maintain a continous artwork on your back side.
