When can you deliver banners?
You can choose the delivery date, that is to say, you just need to let us know when you need the banners and we will plan that for you.
We always work with you to ensure the banners are delivered on your preferred date. Standard, non-urgent orders are sent within 7 working days, for example.
More urgent orders can be produced under our Express or Priority Service, within an agreed delivery window of 1-3 days.
In short, if you have an urgent request, please let us know asap.
Do you offer a free design service?
Yes. We offer a free design and proofing service, which ensure the banners will look just right, for example.
Your order is only completed once artwork is approved by you.
What’s included in the pricing?
Our prices include the banner, with the agreed finishing (we have a number of options available to you)
For example, most banners have eyelets on them, but you may need something else instead, like Velcro.
If you are purchasing a freestanding banner kit, everything you need is included in our quote. Similarly, if you only need the printed banner material, please let us know.
What is the difference between standard print and double sided print?
Standard Print – When it comes to banner printing, a single piece of material is used, so artwork is essentially seen clearly on one side.
Standard print is ideal if the banner is going to be placed or installed in front of a brick wall (or similar) where it is impossible to view it from the back.
Double Sided Print – 2 Pieces of material printed and stitched together (back to back)
Double sided print is ideal if you require the banner to be seen from the front and back, for example, at arenas, parks or on fences.
How long will banners last?
Product life will depend on how the banners will be used.
Indoor Banners used occasionally will last forever, as long as they are stored away safely, for example.
Indoor banners used as permanent signage every day will fade over time, as natural light affects ink. We expect at least 2-3 years usage though, by which time you will likely want to update advertising copy anyway.
Outdoor Banners used over 2-4 weeks at a time can be re-used many times if you store them away safely.
On the other hand, if they are used as permanent signage in all weathers we would expect discolouration and deterioration to occur eventually.
Sailflags always recommend letting us know how the banners will be used, allowing us in turn, to recommend the correct materials to give you the longest product life possible.
We have very good relationships with some of the finest suppliers of banner materials in Europe, which means we can always source the right solutions for our customers.
What is the difference between fabric display material and PVC?
Fabric display material is environmentally conscious and can often utilise water based inks, which are also better for the environment.
PVC is heavily plastic based and the inks used are more harmful to the environment.
Making the right choice will heavily rely on how your printed banners will be used. Please therefore explain this to us at time of ordering and we can help you choose the right fabric.
