Hear from Our Customers
You’re tired of watching potential customers drive right past your business. Your current signage isn’t cutting it, and you know it.
Custom banners change that. When done right, they grab attention from blocks away and pull people toward your business. You get visibility that actually converts into foot traffic and phone calls.
The difference is night and day. Instead of hoping someone notices you, you become impossible to ignore. Your message reaches thousands of potential customers every single day, working around the clock to grow your business.
We’ve been creating custom banners and signs since 1992. We’re 3M and PDAA certified, which means we know what we’re doing when it comes to materials that last and installations that look professional.
We’ve worked with hundreds of businesses across Northern Illinois, from small local shops to major fleet operations. Venetian Village businesses choose us because we understand what works in this market and this climate.
You won’t get cookie-cutter solutions here. We listen to what you need, then create banners that actually reflect your business personality and get results.
First, we talk through what you’re trying to accomplish. Whether you need retractable banners for trade shows, outdoor vinyl banners for your storefront, or promotional banners for an event, we figure out the right solution for your specific situation.
Our award-winning design team creates graphics that grab attention and communicate your message clearly. We use state-of-the-art printing equipment and premium materials that can handle Illinois weather without fading or falling apart.
Installation is handled by our certified professionals. We make sure everything is positioned correctly and securely mounted. You get banners that look sharp from day one and keep working for years.

Vinyl banners are our workhorse option. They handle outdoor conditions, resist fading, and deliver vibrant colors that catch the eye. Perfect for storefronts, events, and long-term advertising.
Retractable banners give you portability and professional presentation. Set them up at trade shows, in your lobby, or anywhere you need temporary but impactful signage. They store easily and reuse indefinitely.
Mesh banners work great in windy locations around Venetian Village. Air passes through instead of turning your banner into a sail, which means less stress on mounting hardware and longer banner life. They’re also excellent for window displays since they allow light through while still showing your message clearly.
Quality vinyl banners typically last 5-8 years outdoors in Illinois conditions when properly installed and maintained. The key is using premium materials with UV-resistant inks and proper lamination.
We use heavy-duty 13-16 oz vinyl with reinforced hems and professional-grade grommets. This construction handles wind, rain, snow, and temperature changes without cracking, peeling, or significant fading. Cheaper banners might look similar initially, but they’ll start deteriorating within months.
Indoor banners last even longer since they’re not exposed to weather. Retractable banners can serve you for decades with proper care.
Vinyl banners are solid material that delivers the most vibrant colors and sharpest text. They’re perfect for most applications but can catch wind like a sail in outdoor installations.
Mesh banners have tiny perforations that let air pass through, reducing wind load by up to 70%. This makes them ideal for windy locations, fence-mounted displays, or anywhere you need to reduce stress on mounting hardware. The trade-off is slightly less color intensity, but modern mesh materials still produce excellent results.
For Venetian Village businesses, we often recommend mesh for permanent outdoor installations and vinyl for temporary displays or protected locations.
Yes, color matching is part of our standard process. We work with Pantone color standards and can match virtually any existing brand color you provide.
Bring us a sample of your current marketing materials, business cards, or logo, and we’ll calibrate our printing to match. Our state-of-the-art digital printing equipment allows for precise color control and consistency across multiple banner orders.
We also provide color proofs before final printing, so you can see exactly how your banner will look. This eliminates surprises and ensures your new banners integrate seamlessly with your existing brand materials.
Most standard vinyl and mesh banners are ready within 3-5 business days from approved artwork. Rush orders can often be completed in 24-48 hours depending on size and complexity.
Retractable banners typically take 5-7 business days since they require additional assembly and quality testing. Custom sizes or specialty materials may add 1-2 days to the timeline.
We understand that sometimes you need banners fast for events or grand openings. Let us know your deadline upfront, and we’ll work with you to meet it. Our production schedule is designed to handle both planned projects and last-minute needs.
We handle complete installation with our certified professionals. This includes site evaluation, proper mounting hardware selection, and secure installation that meets local requirements.
For simple indoor installations like retractable banners, many customers handle setup themselves since these are designed for easy assembly. For outdoor installations, professional mounting is crucial for safety and longevity.
We also provide installation hardware recommendations and instructions if you prefer to handle mounting yourself. However, professional installation ensures optimal positioning, secure mounting, and full warranty coverage on both materials and workmanship.
We can print banners in virtually any size your project requires. Standard sizes range from small 2×4 foot banners up to large 10×50 foot displays for buildings or events.
Our equipment handles single-piece printing up to 10 feet wide by 145 feet long. Larger banners are created by welding multiple pieces together with invisible seams that maintain structural integrity and visual continuity.
For Venetian Village businesses, popular sizes include 3×6 and 4×8 foot banners for storefronts, 2.5×6 foot retractable banners for indoor use, and custom sizes for specific architectural features or event requirements. We’ll recommend optimal dimensions based on your viewing distance and mounting location.
