Hear from Our Customers
When you need people to stop, look, and take action, generic signage won’t cut it. You need custom banners that command attention and communicate your message clearly, whether you’re promoting a grand opening, announcing a seasonal sale, or directing traffic at Wind Lake’s community events.
The right promotional banners transform empty wall space into powerful marketing real estate. They turn your storefront into a beacon that draws customers from Highway 164. They make your booth at the Racine County Fair the one people remember and revisit.
That’s what happens when you work with professionals who understand both the technical side of banner printing and the marketing psychology behind what makes Wind Lake residents stop and engage with your message.
We’ve been creating custom banners and business signs for Wind Lake area companies since 1992. We’re not the newest shop in town, and that’s exactly why local businesses from Burlington to Mukwonago trust us with their most important marketing materials.
Our 3M- and PDAA-certified installers know the difference between a banner that looks good for a week and one that performs through Wisconsin’s harsh winters and humid summers. We’ve worked with hundreds of companies throughout the greater Wind Lake area, from family-owned retailers to major construction firms.
When you’re investing in custom signs and banners, you want a company that’s been around long enough to understand what works in this market and has the state-of-the-art equipment to deliver consistently excellent results.
We start by understanding exactly what you need your business banners to accomplish. Are you promoting a seasonal event? Directing foot traffic during Wind Lake’s busy summer months? Announcing new services? The purpose drives every design and material decision we make.
Next, our award-winning design team creates mockups that work for your specific space and viewing conditions. We consider factors like viewing distance from County Highway NN, mounting options on older buildings, and weather exposure to ensure your promotional banners perform exactly as intended.
Once you approve the design, we print using premium materials and UV-resistant inks on our state-of-the-art equipment. Every custom banner gets quality-checked before it leaves our Spring Grove facility. If you need installation throughout the Wind Lake area, our certified team handles the entire setup process professionally.

We create vinyl banners for outdoor durability, retractable banners for trade shows and events, mesh banners for windy lakefront conditions, and fabric banners for premium indoor displays. Each material is selected based on your specific use case and Wind Lake’s unique environmental conditions.
Local businesses particularly appreciate our retractable banner systems for the area’s numerous community events, from the annual Wind Lake Days to seasonal farmers markets. These portable displays set up in minutes at the Wind Lake Community Center or Village Park and pack away just as quickly.
Our vinyl banners are engineered to handle Wisconsin’s weather extremes, from January’s sub-zero temperatures to July’s intense UV exposure. We use reinforced grommets and heavy-duty materials that maintain their appearance and structural integrity season after season, giving you reliable outdoor advertising that works year-round in Wind Lake’s variable climate.
Vinyl banners are your go-to choice for permanent or semi-permanent outdoor displays around Wind Lake. They’re weather-resistant, cost-effective, and perfect for storefronts along Highway 164, construction sites, or any location where you need long-term visibility. These business banners typically hang from grommets or pole pockets and withstand Wisconsin’s seasonal weather changes beautifully.
Retractable banners are designed for portability and repeated use at events throughout Racine County. They come with their own stand system and roll up into a compact base for easy transport between the Wind Lake Community Center, local trade shows, or seasonal outdoor events.
The choice depends on your specific marketing needs: permanent outdoor advertising calls for vinyl, while mobile marketing and event displays work best with retractable systems that travel easily between venues.
Our vinyl banners are engineered to handle Wind Lake’s challenging four-season weather and typically last 3-5 years outdoors with proper installation. We use UV-resistant inks and heavy-duty vinyl materials specifically chosen for durability in Wisconsin’s extreme temperature variations and high humidity summers.
Lifespan depends on several factors: direct sunlight exposure, wind conditions near the lake, and installation quality. Banners facing south or west experience more UV exposure but our fade-resistant inks maintain color integrity longer than standard printing. Properly reinforced banners withstand Wind Lake’s occasional severe weather better than those with inadequate mounting.
For maximum longevity in this climate, we recommend 18-oz vinyl for outdoor applications and ensure proper installation with appropriate spacing between mounting points. Indoor banners and retractable displays can last many years since they’re protected from Wisconsin’s weather elements.
Absolutely. We use professional color matching systems to ensure your custom banners maintain perfect brand consistency. Whether you have Pantone color codes, hex codes from your website, or existing branded materials, we calibrate our printing process to deliver precise color reproduction across all your marketing materials.
Our state-of-the-art printing equipment allows for accurate color matching, and we provide digital proofs before production so you can verify colors meet your brand standards. This is especially crucial for Wind Lake businesses with established brand guidelines or franchise operations requiring consistency across multiple locations.
We maintain color profiles for repeat customers, ensuring future banner orders automatically match your established brand colors. This guarantees consistency whether you’re ordering one promotional banner or outfitting multiple Wind Lake locations with matching signage.
Banner size depends on viewing distance and available space around Wind Lake. For storefronts along busy Highway 164, we typically recommend banners readable from at least 100 feet away, which usually means 4-6 feet in height with bold lettering. Width depends on your building’s architecture and message complexity.
For local events at Wind Lake Community Center or outdoor festivals, retractable banners in our standard sizes (33″ x 79″ or 47″ x 79″) work excellently. The 33-inch width is most popular as it provides impactful graphics and text while remaining easy to transport between Wind Lake venues.
We assess your specific situation during design consultation, considering factors like mounting height on older buildings, viewing angles from the street, and surrounding visual competition. Our goal is ensuring your message reaches Wind Lake residents and visitors clearly and effectively.
Yes, we provide complete installation services throughout Wind Lake and surrounding Racine County communities. Our certified installation team has proper equipment and experience to safely mount banners on various building types, between poles, or on temporary structures common in the area.
Professional installation is especially important for large outdoor banners because Wind Lake’s proximity to the lake can create unexpected wind conditions. Improper mounting leads to damage, premature wear, or safety hazards. We assess each installation site to determine optimal mounting methods and hardware.
Our installation service includes site assessment, proper hardware selection based on building materials common in Wind Lake, secure mounting, and final positioning for maximum visibility from key traffic patterns. We coordinate with property owners and handle any local permit requirements when necessary.
We understand Wind Lake businesses often need banners for last-minute opportunities or seasonal events. For urgent orders, we typically produce standard vinyl banners within 24-48 hours and retractable banners within 2-3 business days, depending on current production schedules at our nearby Spring Grove facility.
Rush production is available for additional fees, and we’re always transparent about realistic timelines given your deadline. Simple designs with standard sizes process faster than complex multi-color graphics requiring special setup time.
Meeting tight deadlines requires having artwork ready and approved quickly. If you need design assistance for Wind Lake events or seasonal promotions, communicate your timeline upfront so we can prioritize appropriately. We’ve helped numerous local businesses meet last-minute deadlines for everything from grand openings to emergency replacement signage.
