Hear from Our Customers
You know that feeling when you walk past a display and it stops you in your tracks. That’s what happens when your custom banners are designed right and printed with precision.
Your business deserves more than flimsy banners that curl at the edges or fade after a few weeks. You need promotional materials that maintain their professional appearance season after season, whether they’re showcasing your latest product launch or welcoming customers at a trade show.
The right custom banner doesn’t just hang there—it works. It communicates your brand’s quality, draws attention from across the room, and gives potential customers confidence that you’re the real deal.
Road Rage Designs has been serving the Kildeer area and surrounding communities for over two decades. What started as a specialty vehicle graphics company has grown into a full-service visual marketing partner for businesses throughout Lake County.
You’re working with a team that understands Kildeer’s business landscape. From the professional services firms along Quentin Road to the retail establishments serving this affluent community, we know what it takes to make an impression in a market where quality expectations run high.
Our state-of-the-art printing facility can handle everything from small retractable banner stands for your lobby to large-scale promotional banners for outdoor events. When you need it done right and done quickly, you’re calling the right people.
First, you tell us what you’re trying to accomplish. Whether you need retractable banners for a trade show, promotional banners for a grand opening, or business banners for ongoing marketing, we’ll recommend the right materials and sizes for your specific situation.
Next comes the design phase. You can provide your own artwork, or our team can create something from scratch that fits your brand and messaging. We’ll show you exactly how it will look before anything goes to print.
Then the magic happens. Using high-resolution UV printing technology, your custom banners are produced on premium materials designed to last. Vinyl banners get reinforced hems and grommets, retractable banners come with sturdy aluminum hardware, and everything is quality-checked before it leaves our facility.

Your custom banner options go far beyond basic vinyl rectangles. Retractable banner stands are perfect for presentations, trade shows, and lobby displays—they set up in seconds and store compactly between uses.
For outdoor promotions and events, heavy-duty vinyl banners withstand Kildeer’s changing weather conditions while maintaining vibrant colors. These come with reinforced edges and multiple mounting options, from grommets to pole pockets.
Business owners in Kildeer’s professional corridor particularly appreciate double-sided retractable banners for maximum visibility in high-traffic areas. The local demographic expects quality, and these premium displays deliver the professional appearance that matches the community’s standards.
Quality makes all the difference when it comes to banner longevity in Illinois weather. Premium vinyl banners with UV-resistant inks and reinforced construction typically last 2-3 years outdoors, even with exposure to our harsh winters and intense summer sun.
Indoor banners and retractable displays last much longer—often 5-7 years with regular use. The key is using proper materials from the start rather than trying to save money with cheaper options that fade, crack, or tear within months.
For businesses in Kildeer, where professional appearance matters, investing in quality banner materials pays off through consistent brand representation and fewer replacements over time.
Standard custom banners typically take 3-5 business days from approved artwork to completion. This includes design review, printing, finishing, and quality control checks to ensure everything meets specifications.
Rush orders are available when you’re facing tight deadlines. Many promotional banners and retractable banner stands can be completed within 24-48 hours for urgent trade shows, grand openings, or unexpected marketing opportunities.
The key is getting your artwork approved quickly. When you provide print-ready files or work with our design team efficiently, the production timeline stays on track and your banners arrive when you need them.
Absolutely. Many businesses order custom banners in quantities ranging from dozens to hundreds, especially for franchise operations, multi-location retailers, or large corporate events.
Volume orders actually work in your favor—you get better pricing per unit and consistent quality across all banners. Each piece goes through the same rigorous production process, ensuring your brand looks identical whether it’s displayed in Kildeer, Chicago, or anywhere else.
We can coordinate delivery schedules to different locations and provide detailed tracking information so you know exactly when each shipment arrives. This is particularly helpful for coordinated marketing campaigns or grand opening events.
High-resolution PDF files work best for custom banner printing, ideally with fonts converted to outlines and images at 300 DPI or higher. Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop files are also excellent, provided they’re set up at actual print size.
If you don’t have design software, high-resolution JPEG or PNG files can work for simpler layouts. The important thing is ensuring your images and text will look crisp when enlarged to banner size—what looks good on screen doesn’t always translate to large format printing.
Don’t worry if you’re not sure about file requirements. Our design team reviews every file before production and will let you know if adjustments are needed to ensure optimal print quality.
Standard retractable banners are designed primarily for indoor use, where they excel at trade shows, lobbies, and retail environments. The mechanisms can be damaged by strong winds, and the materials aren’t optimized for extended weather exposure.
For outdoor events, heavy-duty vinyl banners with proper mounting hardware are usually the better choice. These can handle wind, rain, and temperature changes while maintaining their appearance and structural integrity.
However, if you need the portability of retractable systems for outdoor use, there are specialized outdoor retractable banner stands with weighted bases and weather-resistant materials designed specifically for temporary outdoor applications.
Banner size depends on viewing distance and available space. For close-up reading (lobby displays, table-top banners), smaller sizes work fine. For visibility across a trade show floor or outdoor event, you need larger dimensions to ensure your message is readable.
A good rule of thumb: your banner height should be roughly 1/10th of the typical viewing distance. So if people will see your banner from 50 feet away, aim for at least 5 feet of height to ensure text remains legible.
Consider your installation space too. Retractable banners are available in standard sizes, while custom vinyl banners can be made to virtually any dimension. Our design team can recommend optimal sizing based on your specific application and budget.
