Hear from Our Customers
Your banner isn’t just decoration—it’s working 24/7 to bring customers through your door. The right banner grabs attention from across the street, communicates your message clearly, and holds up against Wisconsin weather for years.
You get banners that look professional, not cheap. Materials that won’t fade after one summer or tear in the first windstorm. Colors that stay vibrant and text that stays readable, whether it’s hanging outside your storefront or standing at a trade show.
When your banner works this well, you stop worrying about whether people notice your business. They do. And they remember it.
We’ve been creating professional banners for Wisconsin businesses since 1992. We’re 3M and PDAA certified, which means we know materials, durability, and what actually works in Wisconsin’s climate.
North Bay businesses choose us because we understand the local market. You’re not dealing with a call center in another state—you’re working with professionals who know Wisconsin weather demands and business needs.
We’ve printed thousands of banners over 30 years. The experience shows in every project, from material selection to final installation.
We start by understanding what you need the banner to accomplish. Indoor or outdoor? Temporary or permanent? What size space are you working with? These details matter for material selection and design.
Next, we handle the design work. You can provide artwork, or we’ll create something that fits your brand and gets your message across clearly. No guesswork—you see exactly what you’re getting before we print.
Production typically takes 2-3 business days for most custom banners. We use UV-resistant inks and professional-grade materials that hold up to Wisconsin weather. Installation is available if you need it, or we’ll prepare your banner for easy hanging with grommets and reinforced edges.

Vinyl banners are our most popular option for North Bay businesses. They work indoors and outdoors, resist fading, and handle Wisconsin’s temperature swings without cracking or warping. Available in sizes from small storefront displays to large building banners.
Retractable banners are perfect for businesses that attend trade shows or need portable displays. They set up in under a minute and pack away just as quickly. The professional appearance makes them ideal for indoor events and presentations.
Mesh banners work well in windy locations because air passes through the material instead of creating stress on mounting points. They’re popular for construction sites, outdoor events, and any application where wind load is a concern. All our banners include professional finishing with reinforced edges and grommets every two feet for secure mounting.
Our vinyl banners typically last 3-5 years outdoors with proper installation and quality materials. We use UV-resistant inks that prevent fading and vinyl materials designed to handle Wisconsin’s temperature extremes without cracking.
The key is using the right material for your specific application. Heavier vinyl (18 oz.) lasts longer than lighter materials but costs more upfront. For most North Bay businesses, 13 oz. vinyl provides the best balance of durability and cost-effectiveness.
Weather protection comes from both material selection and proper installation. We reinforce all edges and use brass grommets that won’t rust or tear out over time.
Vinyl banners provide complete coverage and vibrant color reproduction, making them ideal for most business applications. They block wind completely, which can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on your installation location.
Mesh banners allow air to pass through, reducing wind load by up to 70%. This makes them perfect for windy locations or large installations where wind stress could damage the banner or mounting hardware. The trade-off is slightly less vibrant colors due to the perforated material.
For most North Bay storefronts and indoor use, vinyl banners are the better choice. For outdoor events, construction sites, or any location with consistent wind exposure, mesh banners will last longer and require less maintenance.
Standard turnaround is 2-3 business days for most custom banners, but we can often accommodate rush orders when needed. Same-day service is available for simple designs and standard sizes, depending on our current production schedule.
The timeline depends on several factors: banner size, material type, design complexity, and whether you need installation service. Simple text banners on standard materials can often be completed within 24 hours.
For the fastest service, provide print-ready artwork in the correct dimensions and specify your material preferences upfront. This eliminates back-and-forth design revisions that can add time to your project.
We offer both printing and installation services for North Bay businesses. Many customers prefer our installation service because proper mounting is crucial for banner longevity, especially outdoors.
Our installation team understands Wisconsin building codes and weather considerations. We use appropriate hardware for each mounting surface—brick, vinyl siding, metal, or temporary structures all require different approaches.
If you prefer to handle installation yourself, we prepare every banner with professional finishing including reinforced edges and grommets placed for optimal mounting. We’ll also provide guidance on hardware selection and installation best practices.
We accept most common file formats including PDF, AI, EPS, and high-resolution JPG or PNG files. PDF is preferred because it preserves fonts and vector graphics at any size without quality loss.
For best results, provide artwork at actual banner size or proportional dimensions with at least 150 DPI resolution. Include a quarter-inch bleed area around all edges to ensure clean trimming.
If you don’t have print-ready artwork, our design team can create professional banner graphics based on your logo, text, and color preferences. We’ll provide a proof for approval before printing to ensure the final product matches your expectations.
Banner pricing starts around $3-4 per square foot for standard vinyl banners, with larger banners typically costing less per square foot. A typical 4×8 foot business banner ranges from $95-150 depending on material and finishing options.
Retractable banners with professional stands start around $200-300 for standard sizes. Mesh banners cost slightly more than vinyl due to the specialized material and manufacturing process.
Volume discounts are available for businesses needing multiple banners or repeat orders. We also offer package pricing for businesses that need coordinated signage including banners, vehicle graphics, and other promotional materials.
