Banner Design Process Highwood
Getting your custom banner starts with a conversation about what you actually need. We’ll discuss size, placement, timeline, and budget—no surprises, no upselling on features that don’t matter for your situation.
Once we nail down the details, our design team creates your banner layout. You’ll see exactly how it looks before we print anything. Changes? No problem. We’d rather get it right than rush it out the door.
Production happens in-house with professional-grade materials and printing equipment. Depending on your project size and our current queue, most custom banners are ready within a few business days. We’ll let you know pickup details or arrange delivery to your Highwood location.

Custom Banner Options Highwood
Your banner needs depend on where it’s going and how long it needs to last. For outdoor use in Highwood, we typically recommend heavy-duty vinyl with UV-resistant inks—materials that won’t fade or crack through Illinois summers and winters.
Indoor banners give us more material options, including fabric displays for trade shows and retractable banners for presentations. Grommets, pole pockets, and reinforced edges come standard when they make sense for your application.
Highwood businesses often need banners for seasonal promotions, grand openings, or ongoing storefront advertising. We stock materials for quick turnaround on standard sizes, but we can also handle custom dimensions when your space calls for something specific. Fleet discounts apply when you’re outfitting multiple locations or vehicles.
How long do outdoor custom banners last in Highwood weather?
Properly made outdoor banners using quality vinyl and UV-resistant inks typically last 3-5 years in Highwood’s climate. The key factors are material weight and ink quality—we use heavy-duty vinyl that resists tearing and professional-grade inks that won’t fade quickly under sun exposure.
Weather resistance matters here because you’re dealing with everything from hot summers to freezing winters, plus the occasional strong wind. Cheap banners start showing wear within months, while professional-grade materials maintain their appearance and structural integrity for years. We reinforce stress points and use proper finishing techniques to extend banner life even further.
What's the typical turnaround time for custom banner printing?
Most standard custom banners are ready within 3-5 business days from approved design. Rush orders can often be accommodated in 24-48 hours depending on size and complexity, though we recommend planning ahead when possible for the best results.
Turnaround depends on a few factors: design complexity, banner size, and current production schedule. Simple text-based banners move faster than detailed graphics or oversized pieces. We’ll give you an accurate timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. For Highwood customers with urgent deadlines, we prioritize clear communication about what’s realistic.
Do you offer design services for custom banners?
Yes, our design team handles everything from basic layouts to complete custom graphics. If you have existing artwork, logos, or brand guidelines, we’ll work within those parameters. If you’re starting from scratch, we’ll help develop something that fits your message and budget.
Design service is included in most banner projects—we’re not trying to nickel and dime you for basic layout work. More complex design projects may involve additional time, but we’ll discuss that upfront. The goal is creating a banner that represents your business professionally while staying within your budget and timeline.
What banner sizes and materials do you offer?
We handle everything from small 2×4 foot banners to large building wraps, with custom sizing available for unique applications. Standard materials include heavy-duty vinyl for outdoor use, mesh vinyl for windy locations, and fabric options for indoor displays and trade shows.
Material choice depends on your specific needs. Solid vinyl works best for most outdoor applications, while mesh allows wind to pass through—important for large banners or windy locations. Indoor banners can use lighter materials or fabric for a more professional appearance. We’ll recommend the right combination based on where your banner will be displayed and how long you need it to last.
Can you handle large orders or fleet banner projects?
Absolutely. We regularly work with businesses that need multiple banners for different locations, events, or fleet vehicles. Volume pricing is available for larger orders, and we can coordinate delivery to multiple Highwood area locations if needed.
Fleet and bulk projects get special attention for consistency—matching colors, fonts, and layouts across all pieces. We understand that when you’re outfitting multiple locations or vehicles, everything needs to look cohesive. Our production capacity and experience with commercial accounts means we can handle substantial orders without compromising quality or extending timelines unreasonably.
Do you install banners or just print them?
We focus primarily on printing and producing high-quality banners, though we can recommend trusted local installers for complex mounting situations. Most of our banners come with grommets or other hardware for straightforward installation by the customer.
For simple installations like hanging banners with grommets or setting up retractable displays, most customers handle this themselves—it’s designed to be straightforward. For more complex situations like building-mounted banners or permanent outdoor installations, we work with experienced installers who understand local requirements and safety considerations. We’ll coordinate the whole process if needed.
