Hear from Our Customers
You need banners that work as hard as you do. Not flimsy prints that fade after a month or tear in the first windstorm. Real banners that grab attention, survive Illinois weather, and keep promoting your business 24/7.
When your banner goes up, people stop and look. Your phone starts ringing. Your event gets the turnout you planned for. That’s what happens when you invest in professional custom banner printing instead of settling for whatever’s cheapest.
The difference isn’t just in how they look—it’s in how long they last and how many people actually see your message. Quality materials and expert installation mean your investment keeps working for years, not weeks.
We’ve been creating professional banners and signs since 1992. We’re 3M-certified installers who understand what works in Illinois—from the materials that handle our weather to the designs that actually get results.
We’ve worked with hundreds of businesses across Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. Local restaurants promoting daily specials, contractors advertising services, schools announcing events, and trade show exhibitors who need to stand out from the crowd.
Hebron businesses choose us because we’re close enough to understand your market but experienced enough to deliver results that compete with anything from Chicago. When you need banners done right the first time, you call the team that’s been perfecting the process for three decades.
First, we listen to what you need. Not what we think you should want—what actually works for your business, event, or organization. Our award-winning design team takes your ideas and creates something that reflects your brand while grabbing attention.
Next, we print using state-of-the-art equipment and premium materials. UV-resistant inks that won’t fade, heavyweight vinyl that won’t tear, and reinforced edges that handle wind and weather. Every banner gets professional finishing with grommets placed exactly where you need them.
Finally, we deliver or install based on what works best for you. Rush job? We handle those regularly. Multiple locations? We’ve got the experience. Need it perfect the first time? That’s what we do every day.

Your custom banners start with materials that actually last. We use heavyweight 13oz vinyl for outdoor banners, mesh materials for windy locations, and fabric options for indoor displays. All printed with UV-resistant inks that keep colors vibrant for years.
Retractable banners for trade shows and presentations come with professional stands and carrying cases. Promotional banners for events get reinforced hems and grommets every two feet for secure hanging. Business banners for storefronts include wind-resistant construction that won’t embarrass you during the next storm.
Hebron’s location means dealing with everything from summer heat to winter cold, plus the wind that comes across the prairie. Your banners need to handle all of it while looking professional every day. That’s exactly what we build—banners that represent your business the way you want, regardless of weather.
Professional vinyl banners with proper materials and installation typically last 5-8 years outdoors in Illinois weather. The key factors are UV-resistant inks, heavyweight vinyl (13oz minimum), and reinforced construction with proper grommets and hems.
Cheap banners from online retailers might look similar initially, but they usually start fading within months and tearing within the first year. The difference comes down to material quality and professional finishing. We use premium materials specifically chosen to handle Illinois weather conditions—hot summers, cold winters, and the wind that comes across the prairie.
Most custom banners are ready within 3-5 business days from final design approval. Rush orders can often be completed in 24-48 hours when needed, though this depends on size and complexity.
The timeline includes design consultation, proofing, printing, and finishing. Simple text-based banners move faster than complex multi-color designs with photos. We always provide realistic timelines upfront and communicate immediately if anything changes.
For events with hard deadlines, we recommend placing orders at least a week in advance when possible. This gives us time to perfect the design and handle any unexpected issues without stress.
Yes, we can match specific brand colors using Pantone color matching or by working from existing materials you provide. Our state-of-the-art printing equipment and color management system ensures consistent, accurate color reproduction.
Bring us a business card, brochure, or any existing branded material and we’ll match those colors exactly. If you have specific Pantone numbers, even better—we can hit those precisely. For businesses without established color standards, our design team can help select colors that work well together and represent your brand effectively.
Color consistency is especially important for businesses with multiple locations or ongoing marketing campaigns. We maintain color profiles for repeat customers to ensure every banner matches perfectly, whether you order one banner or fifty.
We can create custom banners in virtually any size, from small 2×4 foot promotional banners to large 10×50 foot building banners. Our printing equipment handles single pieces up to 10 feet wide by 145 feet long.
Common sizes include 3×6 feet for storefronts, 4×8 feet for events, and 2×8 feet for grand opening promotions. Retractable banner stands typically use 33″ wide graphics, while trade show backdrops often range from 8×8 feet to 10×20 feet.
For larger installations, we can create multiple panels that connect seamlessly, or recommend mesh materials that handle wind better on big installations. Size affects pricing, but we’ll work with your budget to find the most effective solution.
We provide complete design services from concept to final artwork. Our award-winning design team can create your banner from scratch, work with your existing logos and materials, or refine artwork you already have.
If you have a clear vision, we’ll bring it to life professionally. If you’re not sure what you want, we’ll guide you through options that work for your industry and goals. We handle everything from layout and typography to color selection and image optimization.
Design consultation is included in every project. We’ll show you proofs and make revisions until you’re completely satisfied. The goal is creating banners that reflect your brand personality while grabbing attention and delivering results.
Vinyl banners are the most durable and weather-resistant option, perfect for outdoor use and long-term installations. They’re printed on heavyweight material that blocks wind completely, making them ideal for storefronts and building signage.
Mesh banners allow wind to pass through, reducing stress on mounting points and making them perfect for windy locations or large installations. They’re also great for window graphics since they allow visibility and light through while displaying your message.
Fabric banners offer the most professional appearance for indoor use, trade shows, and presentations. They don’t reflect light like vinyl, photograph better, and can be washed if needed. Each material serves different purposes, and we’ll recommend the best option based on your specific application.
