Professional Banner Printing Chemung
You need banners that work as hard as you do. Not flimsy displays that fold in the first windstorm or fade after a month in the sun.
When your banner goes up, people notice. The colors stay vibrant. The message stays clear. Your investment pays off because customers actually see what you’re promoting.
That’s what happens when you work with professionals who understand the difference between a banner and effective advertising.
Custom Banner Company Chemung
We’ve been creating custom banners and signage for over two decades. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in Northern Illinois weather.
Our state-of-the-art printing equipment handles everything from small promotional banners to large-scale outdoor displays. We’re not the cheapest option in Chemung—and that’s intentional.
You’re investing in banners that last, colors that stay true, and service that treats your deadline like it matters.
Banner Design Process Chemung
First, we talk through what you need. Event promotion? Grand opening? Seasonal sale? The purpose drives everything else—size, placement, timeline.
Next, our design team creates your banner. You see proofs before we print anything. Changes are easy at this stage, expensive after printing starts.
Then we print using commercial-grade materials and inks. Indoor banners get different treatment than outdoor displays. Weather resistance isn’t optional in Illinois.
Finally, we deliver or install. Many customers pick up, but we handle installation for larger displays or complex mounting situations.

Banner Types Available Chemung
Retractable banners for trade shows and indoor events. These roll up clean, travel easy, and set up in seconds. Perfect for businesses that move their message around.
Outdoor vinyl banners for storefronts, construction sites, and event venues. Wind-resistant grommets, UV-resistant inks, and reinforced edges handle Chemung’s weather extremes.
Mesh banners for windy locations. The perforated material lets air through while keeping your message visible. Popular for fence displays and outdoor events.
Custom sizing means your banner fits your space exactly. Standard sizes work for most applications, but sometimes you need something specific.
How long do outdoor banners last in Illinois weather?
Quality outdoor banners typically last 2-3 years with continuous outdoor exposure in Illinois. The key factors are material quality and ink type.
We use 13oz vinyl with UV-resistant inks for outdoor applications. This combination handles sun, rain, snow, and wind without significant fading or cracking. Cheaper materials might save money upfront but need replacement within 6-12 months.
Indoor banners last much longer—often 5+ years—because they’re not fighting weather constantly.
What's the difference between vinyl and mesh banners?
Vinyl banners are solid material that displays colors brilliantly and provides complete coverage. They’re perfect for most applications but can catch wind like a sail in outdoor installations.
Mesh banners have small perforations that let wind pass through while maintaining visibility. You lose about 10-15% of the visual impact, but gain significant wind resistance. They’re ideal for fence installations or windy locations.
Most businesses choose vinyl for storefronts and indoor use, mesh for outdoor fence displays or areas with consistent wind exposure.
How quickly can you produce custom banners for events?
Standard turnaround is 3-5 business days from approved artwork. Rush orders can often be completed in 24-48 hours with advance notice.
The timeline depends on banner size, quantity, and current workload. Simple text banners print faster than complex graphics with multiple colors. Large quantities or oversized banners may need additional time.
We recommend ordering at least one week before your event to avoid rush charges and ensure everything arrives on schedule. Last-minute requests are possible but cost more and limit design revision time.
Do you provide design services or just printing?
We handle both design and printing. Many customers come with finished artwork, but we also create designs from scratch or modify existing logos and graphics.
Our design team understands what works on banners versus other media. Text size, color contrast, and layout all need adjustment for banner viewing distances. We’ll make sure your message reads clearly from across a parking lot or trade show floor.
Design fees depend on complexity, but simple text-based banners often include basic layout at no extra charge. Complex graphics or extensive revisions are quoted separately.
What sizes are available for retractable banner stands?
Standard retractable banner sizes are 33″ x 79″ and 47″ x 79″. These fit most trade show booths and indoor display needs without overwhelming smaller spaces.
The 33-inch width works well for narrow spaces or when you’re displaying multiple banners side by side. The 47-inch option provides more visual impact and works better for single banner displays.
Custom sizes are available but require special hardware and cost significantly more. Most businesses find the standard options work perfectly for their needs. The stands are lightweight, portable, and include carrying cases for easy transport.
Can banners be installed on existing structures or fences?
Yes, we install banners on fences, buildings, and temporary structures throughout the Chemung area. Installation requirements depend on the location and local regulations.
For fence installations, we use zip ties, bungee cords, or grommets with rope depending on the fence type and expected wind exposure. Building installations may require permits for permanent mounting hardware.
We handle the installation process and can advise on local permit requirements. Some customers prefer to install themselves using our mounting recommendations, which we provide with every outdoor banner order.
