Hear from Our Customers
You need people to see your business, event, or message. A professionally designed custom banner doesn’t just hang there—it works around the clock to attract customers, announce your presence, and build brand recognition that sticks.
Whether you’re promoting a grand opening, advertising services, or marking a special event, the right banner transforms empty space into powerful marketing real estate. Your investment pays for itself when potential customers can’t help but notice what you’re offering.
The difference between a banner that blends in and one that converts comes down to professional design, quality materials, and strategic placement. That’s where expertise matters most.
We’ve been creating custom banners and signs since 1992, serving businesses throughout Northern Illinois with the kind of quality that builds long-term relationships. We’re 3M and PDAA certified, which means your banner gets installed by professionals who know what they’re doing.
Hartland businesses trust us because we understand local needs. You’re not dealing with a faceless online printer—you’re working with a team that’s been helping Illinois businesses stand out for over 30 years. We’ve printed banners for hundreds of companies, from small local shops to large fleets, and we approach every project with the same attention to detail.
Our Spring Grove facility houses state-of-the-art printing equipment and an award-winning design team ready to bring your vision to life.
First, we listen. Our design team works with you to understand your goals, whether you need a single promotional banner or multiple displays for an event. We’ll discuss size, placement, messaging, and materials to ensure your banner delivers the impact you’re looking for.
Next, we design and proof your banner. You’ll see exactly how it will look before we print, and we’ll make adjustments until it’s perfect. Our award-winning art department knows how to create designs that grab attention and communicate clearly.
Finally, we print using premium materials and professional-grade inks that resist fading and weather damage. Your banner gets reinforced hems, proper grommets, and the kind of finishing that ensures it looks professional and lasts for years. We handle everything from design to delivery, so you can focus on running your business.
Ready to get started?
Illinois weather demands banners that can handle everything from summer heat to winter snow and spring storms. Our vinyl banners use premium 13-16oz materials with UV-resistant inks that maintain their vibrant colors for 5-8 years, even with constant outdoor exposure.
We offer retractable banners perfect for trade shows and indoor events, mesh banners that handle wind without tearing, and fabric banners for elegant indoor displays. Every banner includes professional finishing—reinforced hems, grommets every two feet, and the hardware you need for easy installation.
For Hartland businesses, we understand you need banners that work in real-world conditions. That’s why we use materials designed for the Midwest climate and printing techniques that ensure your message stays clear and professional-looking year after year. Whether you’re advertising storefront specials, announcing community events, or promoting services, your banner represents your business—we make sure it does that well.
Our vinyl banners are built specifically for Midwest weather conditions and typically last 5-8 years outdoors with proper care. We use premium heavyweight vinyl (13-16oz) with UV-resistant inks that prevent fading from sun exposure.
The key factors that determine longevity are material quality and installation. Our banners include reinforced hems and professional grommets that prevent tearing at stress points. Illinois winters, spring storms, and summer heat won’t cause premature failure when the banner is properly made and installed.
Indoor banners last even longer—often 10+ years—since they’re protected from weather elements. We’ll recommend the right material based on where and how you plan to use your banner.
Vinyl banners are our most popular option for both indoor and outdoor use. They’re completely weather-resistant, block wind, and provide the most vibrant color reproduction. Perfect for storefronts, events, and general advertising where you want maximum visibility.
Mesh banners allow air to pass through, making them ideal for windy locations or areas where you need visibility through the material (like storefront windows). They’re about 70% solid with small perforations that reduce wind resistance while maintaining your message clarity.
Fabric banners offer a premium look for indoor displays, trade shows, and upscale events. They don’t reflect light like vinyl, creating a more elegant appearance, but they’re not suitable for outdoor weather exposure.
Most custom banners are ready within 3-5 business days from design approval. Rush orders can often be completed in 1-2 days when needed, though this depends on size and complexity.
Our process moves quickly because we handle everything in-house—design, printing, and finishing. Once you approve the design proof, we print immediately using our state-of-the-art equipment. Simple text banners typically process faster than complex designs with multiple graphics.
For urgent needs, call us directly at 815-675-0690. We’ve helped many Hartland businesses meet tight deadlines for grand openings, events, and promotional campaigns. Having your content ready (text, logos, images) speeds up the entire process significantly.
Our award-winning design team creates custom banner designs from scratch or works with your existing materials. You don’t need to be a graphic designer—just tell us your goals and we’ll handle the creative work.
We’ll discuss your message, target audience, and where the banner will be displayed, then create designs that grab attention and communicate clearly. Our designers understand what works for different industries and can suggest layouts, colors, and sizing that maximize impact.
If you have existing logos, photos, or brand guidelines, we’ll incorporate those elements. If you’re starting from scratch, we’ll develop everything you need. Either way, you’ll see design proofs before we print anything, and revisions are included until you’re completely satisfied.
We can print banners up to 16 feet wide and virtually any length needed for your project. Common sizes range from small 2×4 foot banners for events to large 4×8 or 6×12 foot banners for building displays.
The right size depends on viewing distance and available space. Banners viewed from across a street need larger text and graphics than those seen up close. Our design team helps determine the optimal size based on your specific situation and budget.
For very large installations, we can create multi-panel banners that connect seamlessly or print single pieces up to our maximum width. We’ll also advise on proper installation methods to ensure your banner hangs correctly and safely at any size.
Banner pricing depends on size, material, and design complexity, but most businesses find our banners extremely cost-effective compared to other advertising methods. A typical 3×6 foot vinyl banner ranges from $75-150, providing years of 24/7 advertising.
Consider that a single banner can generate 30,000-70,000 views per day according to industry statistics. When you calculate cost per impression, banners often outperform digital advertising, radio, or print ads while lasting much longer.
We offer package discounts for multiple banners or fleet orders. For an accurate quote on your specific project, call 815-675-0690 or visit our website. We’ll provide detailed pricing based on your exact requirements and timeline.
