Hear from Our Customers
Professional Banner Printing Services
You’ve seen them – banners that look great for a few weeks, then start peeling, fading, or falling apart. That’s not advertising, that’s throwing money away.
Our custom banners use premium materials and UV-resistant inks that keep working for 5-8 years. Your message stays crisp, your colors stay vibrant, and your investment keeps paying off month after month.
When your banner looks professional, your business looks professional. When it looks cheap and faded, so do you.
Indian Creek Custom Sign Company
We’ve been creating custom banners since 1992. We’re 3M and PDAA certified, which means we know materials, installation, and what actually works long-term.
We’ve printed banners for hundreds of businesses across Northern Illinois. From small retail shops to major fleet operations, we understand what Indian Creek businesses need to stand out.
Your community has high standards – median household income over $150,000, educated professionals, and businesses that demand quality. We deliver banners that meet those expectations.
Custom Banner Design Process
First, we figure out exactly what you need. Not what we want to sell you, but what actually works for your situation, location, and budget.
Then our design team creates options that grab attention without looking cheap or cluttered. You see digital proofs before we print anything, so there are no expensive surprises.
Finally, we print with state-of-the-art equipment, cure and laminate for durability, and either install professionally or provide everything you need for easy setup.

Indian Creek businesses choose us because we understand the local market. Your customers have high expectations, and your signage needs to reflect the quality they expect from businesses in this area.
We offer fleet pricing for multiple banners, rush services when you need them yesterday, and honest advice about what materials and sizes will work best for your specific situation.
How long do your custom banners last compared to cheaper options?
Our banners typically last 5-8 years outdoors with proper installation, compared to 1-2 years for budget alternatives. The difference comes down to material quality and printing processes.
We use premium vinyl with UV-resistant inks that don’t fade, crack, or peel like cheaper materials. The upfront cost is higher, but the cost per year is actually lower because you’re not replacing them constantly.
Thicker materials (6 mil vs 13 mil) provide better wind resistance and longer life. We’ll recommend the right thickness based on your installation location and expected lifespan needs.
What's your actual turnaround time, not your marketing promise?
Most orders ship in 3-5 business days from approved artwork. Rush orders can be done in 24-48 hours if you need them, though that costs extra and depends on our current workload.
The timeline includes design consultation if needed, digital proofing, printing, curing, laminating, and quality control. Simple text banners process faster than complex multi-color designs.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront, not an optimistic guess. If we can’t meet your deadline, we’ll tell you immediately so you can make other arrangements.
Do you actually design banners or just print what I give you?
Our design team creates professional banner layouts from scratch. You don’t need existing artwork – just tell us what you want to accomplish and we’ll handle the creative work.
We can work with your existing logos and brand guidelines, or develop new approaches if you need them. Our designers understand what works for different banner applications and viewing distances.
Design consultation is included with most orders. You’ll see digital proofs before we print, and we’ll make revisions until you’re satisfied with the final design.
What banner sizes and materials do you actually have in stock?
Our printing equipment handles virtually any size from small tabletop displays to building-sized installations. Most common sizes (2×4 up to 4×20 feet) are produced in-house with same-day capability.
Standard vinyl works for most applications. Mesh banners resist wind damage. Retractable banner systems are perfect for trade shows and presentations. We stock the materials that actually get used most often.
Custom shapes, grommets, pole pockets, and reinforced edges are all available. We’ll recommend the best combination based on where and how you’re using the banner.
What do banners actually cost and what drives the price up?
Basic vinyl banners start around $3-5 per square foot for simple designs. Prices increase with premium materials, complex artwork, rush orders, and special finishing options.
Size matters – larger banners cost more per square foot than smaller ones due to material and handling costs. Multiple banners in the same order reduce per-unit pricing significantly.
We quote every job upfront with no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying and why before we start any work.
Do you install banners or just drop them off?
We provide complete installation services for customers who want it done right the first time. Our team has the proper equipment and insurance for installations at any height or location.
Installation pricing depends on complexity, height, and accessibility. Simple ground-level installations might add $75-150 to your order. Complex installations requiring lifts or special access cost more.
We also provide detailed instructions and all necessary hardware for DIY installation. Most basic banner installations can be handled with standard tools and a little common sense.
