Hear from Our Customers
You need more than just a sign—you need results. Your custom banners become powerful marketing tools that work around the clock, generating thousands of daily impressions while you focus on running your business.
Whether you’re announcing a grand opening in one of Hainesville’s growing business districts, promoting seasonal sales to Lake County families, or establishing permanent brand presence along Route 120, professionally designed banners deliver measurable impact. They transform empty walls and vacant spaces into revenue-generating advertising real estate.
The difference between a banner that gets ignored and one that drives action comes down to strategic design, quality materials, and expert installation. That’s where three decades of Northern Illinois experience matters.
We’ve been creating custom banners for Northern Illinois businesses since 1992. We’re 3M and PDAA certified installers who understand what works in this market—and what doesn’t.
We’ve helped hundreds of companies across Lake County stand out from their competition. From small Hainesville startups to established regional brands serving the Chicago metro area, we know how to make your message connect with local customers who have plenty of choices.
Our Spring Grove facility serves the entire Northern Illinois corridor, including Hainesville’s growing business community near Grayslake and Round Lake. We’re not just another print shop—we’re your neighbors who happen to be really good at making businesses more visible.
First, we listen. You know your business better than anyone, and we know what makes banners work in Northern Illinois markets. Our design team combines your expertise with our technical knowledge to create banners that actually generate results.
Next, we design and refine until it’s perfect. You’ll see proofs, make adjustments, and approve the final design before we print anything. No surprises, no rushing—just careful attention to getting it right the first time.
Finally, we print using premium materials and UV-resistant inks that handle everything from Lake County’s humid summers to brutal winter winds. Our state-of-the-art equipment produces crisp, vibrant graphics that maintain their impact for years. Installation is included, so your banners are positioned for maximum visibility from day one.
Ready to get started?
Your custom banners include professional-grade vinyl construction, reinforced hems, and strategically placed grommets for secure installation. We use premium 13-16 oz materials that resist fading, cracking, and weather damage—crucial for businesses operating in Northern Illinois’s challenging climate.
Hainesville businesses face unique challenges. You’re competing with established brands in Grayslake and Round Lake while serving customers who commute to Chicago and expect professional quality. Our banners are engineered for this environment, using materials that maintain their appearance through multiple seasons of harsh weather.
Indoor retractable banners for trade shows, outdoor promotional displays for seasonal campaigns, custom signs for storefronts, and large-format business banners for events—we handle projects of any size. Pricing starts at $1.25 per square foot, making professional banner advertising accessible for every budget. Rush orders and package discounts available for Hainesville area businesses.
Our custom banners are engineered to withstand Illinois weather for 5-8 years outdoors, even with exposure to harsh Lake County conditions. We use premium vinyl materials with UV-resistant inks that prevent fading during brutal summer heat and remain flexible through sub-zero winter temperatures.
The key difference is using the right materials from the start. We source from trusted manufacturers like 3M and Avery Dennison, not cheap alternatives that crack, fade, or tear within months. Our reinforced hems and professional-grade construction ensure your investment delivers long-term value, not constant replacement costs.
For Hainesville businesses, this durability translates to lower cost-per-impression over time. Instead of replacing signage every year, you get consistent brand visibility that pays for itself through sustained customer exposure. Many of our clients see their banners looking great after 6-7 years of continuous outdoor use.
Standard custom banner orders are completed within one week from final approval. Rush orders can often be finished in 2-3 business days, depending on size and complexity—crucial for time-sensitive promotions and events.
We understand Hainesville businesses often work with tight deadlines. Seasonal promotions, last-minute event announcements, and unexpected marketing opportunities don’t wait for convenient timing. Our streamlined process and in-house production capabilities allow us to move quickly without sacrificing quality.
For the fastest turnaround, have your artwork ready in high-resolution format (300 DPI minimum) and be specific about size requirements. Our design team can also create custom graphics from scratch, though this typically adds 1-2 days to the timeline. We’ll always give you realistic expectations upfront, not promises we can’t keep.
Our design team creates custom banner designs from concept to completion. You don’t need existing artwork—we can develop everything based on your business goals, target audience, and brand requirements. Many clients come to us with just an idea and leave with professional banners that exceed their expectations.
We start by understanding what you want to achieve. Are you driving traffic to a grand opening? Promoting a seasonal sale? Establishing permanent brand presence? Your goals determine design choices, from color psychology to typography selection to layout strategy.
The process is collaborative, not dictatorial. You provide business insight and feedback; we provide design expertise and technical knowledge. Whether you want professional corporate styling, eye-catching promotional graphics, or something completely unique, we’ll create designs that reflect your business personality while appealing to Hainesville’s diverse customer base.
We print custom banners in virtually any size, from small 2×4 foot displays to massive building wraps over 100 feet wide. Our equipment handles single-piece printing up to 10 feet wide, with larger banners professionally welded for seamless appearance and superior durability.
Popular options include vinyl banners for outdoor use, mesh banners for windy locations (great for fence-mounted displays), retractable banners for trade shows and indoor events, and fabric banners for upscale indoor displays. Each material serves specific purposes and environments.
For Hainesville businesses, we recommend starting with standard sizes like 3×6, 4×8, or 6×10 feet for most applications. These provide excellent visibility while remaining cost-effective for small to medium businesses. Custom sizing is always available for unique spaces, unusual installation requirements, or specific design needs.
Custom banner pricing starts at $1.25 per square foot for standard vinyl banners with basic finishing. A typical 4×8 foot banner (32 square feet) costs around $40-80, depending on material quality, printing complexity, and finishing options.
Several factors affect final pricing: banner size, material type (vinyl, mesh, or fabric), single or double-sided printing, special finishing like pole pockets or custom grommets, and rush order requirements. We’ll always provide detailed quotes upfront, not surprise you with hidden fees later.
We offer package discounts for multiple banners and fleet pricing for businesses ordering several pieces. Many Hainesville companies find our pricing extremely competitive compared to Chicago-area providers, with the added benefits of local service, faster turnaround times, and personal attention to your project.
Professional installation is available for all custom banner orders, and we recommend it for permanent displays, large banners, or challenging locations. Our certified installers ensure proper positioning, secure mounting, and optimal visibility for your investment—not just hanging it up and hoping for the best.
Installation becomes especially important for building facades, high-traffic areas, or locations where safety concerns exist. We have the equipment, insurance, and experience to handle complex installations efficiently while meeting local code requirements.
For simple applications like temporary fence mounting or basic indoor displays, many Hainesville clients choose self-installation using our included grommets and hanging hardware. We provide detailed instructions and remain available for guidance to ensure your banners look professional and stay secure throughout their lifespan.
