Hear from Our Customers
When you need custom banners that actually work, you’re looking at more than just printed material. You’re investing in visibility that drives foot traffic, builds brand recognition, and turns passersby into customers.
Professional banner printing means your grand opening gets the attention it deserves. Your seasonal promotion catches eyes from across the street. Your trade show booth draws people in instead of blending into the background.
The difference between a banner that works and one that doesn’t often comes down to material quality, print clarity, and understanding what actually grabs attention in your specific market. That’s where experience matters.
We’ve been creating custom banners and signage for Wisconsin businesses since the early 2000s. What started as vehicle wrap specialists has grown into full-service custom printing because local businesses kept asking for more.
We’ve worked with hundreds of companies across Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin, from small retail shops in Milwaukee to large corporate fleets. Our state-of-the-art printing equipment handles everything from small promotional banners to massive building wraps.
The Kilbournville area’s mix of established businesses and new ventures creates unique signage challenges. We understand the local market dynamics and weather requirements that make Wisconsin signage different from anywhere else.
Getting custom banners shouldn’t be complicated. We start with understanding what you need the banner to accomplish – whether that’s promoting a sale, marking a location, or representing your brand at an event.
Our design team works with your existing branding or helps create something new if needed. We’ll show you material options based on where the banner will be used and how long you need it to last. Indoor banners get different treatment than outdoor Wisconsin weather warriors.
Once design and materials are approved, our large format printers handle the production. We can print custom graphics to virtually any shape and size. Installation is available if needed, or we’ll prepare everything for easy self-installation with clear instructions.
Most banner projects are completed within days, not weeks. Rush orders are possible when you’re up against tight deadlines.

Custom vinyl banners remain the workhorse of business promotion – durable, weather-resistant, and cost-effective for everything from storefront advertising to event promotion. Retractable banner stands offer portability for trade shows and presentations, while mesh banners handle windy conditions without tearing.
Fabric banners provide a premium look for indoor corporate events and retail displays. Backlit banners maximize visibility in low-light conditions or evening hours when many Kilbournville businesses see peak foot traffic.
Wisconsin’s weather demands specific material considerations. UV-resistant inks prevent fading during long summer days, while cold-crack resistant vinyl stays flexible through harsh winters. We stock materials specifically chosen for Midwest outdoor conditions.
Fleet banner discounts are available for businesses needing multiple banners or combining banner orders with vehicle graphics. Many local businesses find this bundling approach more cost-effective than piecemeal ordering.
Quality outdoor vinyl banners typically last 2-3 years in Wisconsin’s climate when properly installed and maintained. The key factors are UV-resistant inks and cold-crack resistant vinyl that can handle temperature swings from summer heat to sub-zero winters.
We use materials specifically chosen for Midwest weather conditions. Standard indoor vinyl might crack in January cold or fade quickly under intense summer sun, but our outdoor-rated materials are engineered for durability.
Proper installation also matters – banners need adequate support and shouldn’t be stretched too tight, which can cause tearing during wind or temperature changes. We provide installation guidelines or professional installation to ensure maximum lifespan.
Most custom banner orders are completed within 3-5 business days from approved artwork. This includes design time if you need help with graphics or layout.
Rush orders can often be accommodated within 24-48 hours for an additional fee, depending on banner size and complexity. We understand that promotional opportunities and events don’t always provide weeks of lead time.
The fastest turnarounds happen when you provide print-ready artwork in the correct dimensions and file format. We can work with virtually any file type, but vector graphics (AI, EPS) or high-resolution PDFs typically process quickest.
Large orders or specialty materials may require additional time, but we’ll provide realistic timelines upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Yes, color matching is a standard part of our design process. We can work from existing marketing materials, brand guidelines, or Pantone color specifications to ensure your banners match your other business materials.
Our design team has access to extensive font libraries and can often match or find suitable alternatives for most typefaces. If you have specific brand fonts, providing the font files ensures perfect consistency.
We provide digital proofs before printing so you can verify colors and fonts look correct. Keep in mind that monitor displays can vary, so we also offer physical color samples for critical color matching when needed.
Brand consistency across all your marketing materials – from business cards to building banners – creates stronger recognition and more professional appearance.
Our large format printing equipment can produce banners up to 54 inches wide by virtually any length. For larger banners, we can print in sections and seam them together for seamless appearance.
Common banner sizes include 3×6 feet for retail promotions, 4×8 feet for events and grand openings, and 2×8 feet for building-mounted advertising. We can also produce custom sizes to fit specific spaces or requirements.
Retractable banner stands typically accommodate graphics from 33-47 inches wide and 79-83 inches tall, depending on the stand model. These are popular for trade shows and presentations because of their portability.
There’s no minimum order quantity – we can print single banners as easily as dozens. Pricing often becomes more favorable per unit with larger quantities, but we work with businesses of all sizes.
Yes, we offer professional installation services throughout the Kilbournville and greater Milwaukee area. Our installation team has experience with various mounting methods and can handle everything from simple banner hanging to complex building installations.
For customers preferring self-installation, we provide detailed instructions and all necessary hardware. Most vinyl banners include grommets for easy hanging, and we can add pole pockets, wind slits, or other features to make installation straightforward.
Installation costs vary based on banner size, mounting complexity, and location accessibility. We provide installation quotes upfront so there are no surprises. Many customers find professional installation worth the investment for optimal appearance and longevity.
Safety is always our priority – installations requiring ladders, scaffolding, or working near power lines are handled by our trained professionals with proper equipment and insurance coverage.
Vinyl banners are the most common choice for outdoor use because they’re waterproof, durable, and cost-effective. They handle Wisconsin weather well and provide vibrant color reproduction. Standard vinyl works for most applications, while heavy-duty vinyl is better for permanent installations.
Fabric banners offer a more upscale appearance for indoor events, trade shows, and retail displays. They’re wrinkle-resistant and provide excellent print quality, but aren’t weatherproof for outdoor use.
Mesh banners are designed for windy locations where solid vinyl might tear or create excessive wind load. The perforated material allows air to pass through while maintaining visibility. They’re popular for construction site fencing and building wraps in exposed locations.
Material choice depends on where the banner will be used, how long it needs to last, and the look you want to achieve. Our team can recommend the best material for your specific application and budget.
