Printed Fabric Banners


Let’s talk banners, now printed fabric banners can serve a lot of different uses some of which need the printed banner to function others just need the banner to look great. I’m going to be talking now just about advertising banners. That is banners that serve a function and need to do more than just look great. Let’s start with a few questions about your printed fabric banner:
1.       How large is your printed fabric banner going to be? Banners can range from smallish to very large. If your printed banner is going to be on the large side make sure your images can stretch that large, there’s nothing worse than a pixilated printed banner.
2.       What is the primary information your banner needs to convey if any? If your printed banner has content that needs to be noticed make sure it’s of a size that makes this possible.  There is no point printing a huge banner and putting the message it was meant to convey down in the corner.
3.       How far away from the printed banner will people be when they are viewing it? Maybe your flyer is for inside a shop where customers will be rather close to the printed fabric banner when reading they are reading it or maybe your banner will be outside and up high. Either way take this into consideration from the start with your flyer so once again people can actually read the elements you need them to.
Last but not least let’s talk about the look and feel. You might have colours scheme or you may have one huge image that will be the background, either way try to remember what scale the image will be after it is printed and also how close people will be to it, if people are far away you might want to use those colours that bounce out at you to grab their attention and visa versa. In the end print out a small copy to try and get an idea of what it will feel like when it is printed out in full, a smaller copy might not give you the scale but just seeing it off the screen makes a difference a lot of the time.
