Hear from Our Customers
You’re not looking for just another banner. You need marketing materials that grab attention, survive Chicago weather, and actually drive results for your business.
That’s exactly what you get with our custom banner printing. Whether you’re promoting a grand opening, showcasing at a trade show, or need ongoing promotional materials, our banners are built to perform in real-world conditions.
Your investment works harder when your signage looks professional and lasts longer. Our UV-resistant materials and weatherproof construction mean your message stays vibrant and clear, season after season.
We understand what Riverwoods businesses need because we’re part of this community. We’ve seen how harsh winters and strong winds can destroy inferior banners, which is why we use premium materials that actually hold up.
Our team knows the local market – from the professional services along Milwaukee Avenue to the retail businesses serving Lake County residents. We’ve helped businesses like yours create marketing materials that work in our specific climate and competitive landscape.
When you work with us, you’re getting more than printing services. You’re getting a partner who understands deadlines matter, quality can’t be compromised, and your success directly impacts our community.
Getting your custom banners printed shouldn’t be complicated. Here’s how we make it straightforward.
First, we discuss your specific needs – event dates, display locations, message goals, and budget parameters. This conversation helps us recommend the right materials and sizes for your situation.
Next, our design team works with your existing artwork or creates new graphics that align with your brand. We handle the technical specifications so your banners print correctly and look professional.
Finally, we produce your banners using commercial-grade materials and quality control processes. You get finished products that are ready to install and built to last through multiple uses and weather conditions.

Our custom banner printing covers everything Riverwoods businesses actually use. Retractable banners for trade shows and presentations that set up in seconds and transport easily. Vinyl banners for outdoor events that resist fading and weather damage. Step-and-repeat backdrops for professional photography and branding events.
Local businesses choose us because we understand the specific challenges of marketing in the Chicago area. Your banners need to work in Millennium Park wind, survive Lake Michigan humidity, and look professional next to established competitors.
We stock materials that perform in these conditions – UV-resistant inks, reinforced grommets, and tear-resistant substrates. Your investment stays protected whether you’re displaying indoors at the Marriott or outdoors at community events throughout Lake County.
For outdoor use in our climate, we recommend 13 oz. scrim vinyl with UV-resistant inks and reinforced edges. This material combination handles Chicago’s temperature swings, wind, and precipitation without fading or tearing.
The key is using materials specifically designed for outdoor exposure. Cheaper alternatives might save money upfront but typically fail within months when exposed to our harsh weather conditions. Our outdoor banners are built to maintain their appearance and structural integrity through multiple seasons of use.
We offer same-day turnaround for standard vinyl banners when orders are placed by noon. Rush production is available for most banner types, though complex designs or specialty materials may require additional time.
The fastest turnaround depends on your specific requirements – banner size, material choice, and design complexity all affect production time. We’ll give you an accurate timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly. For truly last-minute needs, call us directly to discuss expedited options that might be available.
Retractable banners are portable display systems with built-in stands that extend and retract for easy setup and transport. They’re ideal for trade shows, presentations, and indoor events where you need professional-looking displays that set up quickly.
Standard vinyl banners are more versatile for permanent or semi-permanent installations. They work better for outdoor use, larger sizes, and situations where you’re hanging or mounting the banner to existing structures. Vinyl banners typically cost less and offer more size options, while retractable banners provide superior portability and professional presentation.
Yes, we use color matching systems to ensure your banners align with your established brand guidelines. Provide us with Pantone color codes, brand style guides, or physical samples, and we’ll match your colors as closely as possible within the printing process limitations.
Keep in mind that different materials and printing methods can slightly affect color reproduction. We’ll provide color proofs before final production so you can approve the appearance. For critical color matching, we recommend requesting a physical proof, especially for large orders or important events.
We can produce banners in virtually any size your project requires. Standard retractable banners typically range from 33″ x 77″ to larger floor-standing displays. Vinyl banners can be produced from small 2′ x 4′ sizes up to large building banners exceeding 20 feet in width.
Size limitations depend on the specific material and intended use. Outdoor banners have different size considerations than indoor displays due to wind load and mounting requirements. We’ll recommend optimal sizes based on your display location, viewing distance, and budget parameters to ensure maximum impact and readability.
We can arrange professional installation for large or complex banner installations, particularly for permanent outdoor displays or building-mounted signage. Installation requirements vary significantly based on banner size, mounting location, and local permit requirements.
For standard trade show displays and retractable banners, installation is typically straightforward enough for customers to handle themselves. We provide setup instructions and can walk you through the process. For anything requiring specialized equipment, height work, or structural mounting, we’ll connect you with experienced installers who understand local building codes and safety requirements.
