Banner printing is a practical way to create large-format displays for promotions, events, retail messaging and outdoor advertising. With custom banner printing, you can use your own artwork, branding and messaging to create a banner in the size and format required for your display.

At Board Printing Company, our banner range includes PVC banners, mesh banners, PVC-free banners and Heras fence banners for different display environments. Whether you need advertising for a shopfront, branding for an exhibition or graphics for fencing, you can select a banner type suited to the application.

Types of Banners

If you are unsure which banner is right for your project, the main options include:

  • PVC Banners – A versatile option for advertising, promotions, events and general outdoor displays.
  • Mesh Banners – Suitable for fencing, scaffolding and other exposed areas where the mesh allows air to pass through the material.
  • PVC-Free Banners – An alternative material option for businesses and campaigns where avoiding PVC is important.
  • Heras Fence Banners – Designed for displaying graphics and messaging across temporary perimeter fencing, including construction and event sites.

Banners for Advertising, Events and Promotions

Banners can be used wherever you need clear, large-format messaging. Common applications include:

  • Shopfront and business advertising
  • Exhibition and event branding
  • Promotional campaigns
  • Outdoor advertising
  • Sports and school events
  • Seasonal retail promotions
  • Directional signage
  • Construction and site notices
  • Fence and scaffold graphics
  • Product, sale and launch promotions

The right banner can be produced in a size that suits the available display area, from smaller promotional graphics through to large installations.

Large Banner Printing for Bigger Displays

Large banner printing is useful when your message needs to cover a larger area or remain visible from a distance. Larger banners can be used for building and shopfront advertising, exhibition spaces, event branding, fencing and other promotional displays.

Depending on where the banner will be installed, you can select a suitable material and finishing option for the application. Bespoke sizes allow the banner to be produced around the space rather than relying on a fixed standard format.

Outdoor Banner Printing

Outdoor banner printing is suitable for advertising, events, promotions, construction sites and other external displays. PVC, mesh and Heras fence banner options provide different ways to display your artwork depending on the location and installation requirements.

For areas exposed to wind, a mesh banner can be considered where airflow through the material is useful. For fencing and temporary site environments, Heras fence banners provide a practical way to add branding, advertising or information to the perimeter.

Custom Sizes and Finishing Options

Your banner can be produced to the dimensions required for your display, with finishing options available to make installation easier.

Depending on the banner you choose, options can include:

  • Bespoke banner sizes
  • Landscape or portrait formats
  • Hemmed edges
  • Eyelets for hanging and fixing
  • Reinforced edges
  • Single-sided printing
  • Custom artwork scaling

You can supply your own artwork and have it prepared for the finished banner size. If you need artwork support, checking or proofing, these options can also be selected where available.

For an alternative material where PVC is not suitable for your requirements, see our PVC-Free Banner range.
