Hear from Our Customers
You need more than just a banner. You need signage that stops traffic, builds credibility, and actually brings customers through your door.
That’s exactly what happens when you invest in professional custom banner printing. Your grand opening gets the crowd it deserves. Your sale announcement reaches every driver on Route 83. Your trade show booth becomes the one people remember.
We’re talking about banners that can generate 30,000 to 70,000 daily impressions—turning your marketing budget into real visibility that pays for itself.
We’ve been creating custom banners and signage for Northern Illinois businesses since 1992. We’re 3M and PDAA certified, which means we know how to make banners that actually last in Illinois weather.
We’ve worked with hundreds of companies throughout Lake County. From small Round Lake Park startups to major fleet operations, we understand what local businesses need: professional appearance, quick turnaround, and signage that won’t embarrass you six months later.
Our Spring Grove facility serves the entire Round Lake area with the same attention to detail that’s kept us in business for three decades.
First, we listen to what you’re trying to accomplish. Are you announcing a grand opening? Promoting a seasonal sale? Need trade show displays? Your goals determine everything from banner size to material choice.
Next, our design team creates artwork that actually represents your business personality. We’re not talking about generic templates—we’re talking about custom designs that make your Round Lake Park business stand out from every other banner on the road.
Then we print using state-of-the-art equipment and premium materials. Our printers can handle any size, and we use UV-resistant inks that keep your colors vibrant for years, not months. Finally, we deliver or install your banners exactly when you need them, because timing matters in business.

We print vinyl banners for outdoor use that handle Illinois weather—from summer heat to winter freeze cycles. Retractable banners for trade shows and indoor events that set up in seconds. Mesh banners that won’t turn into sails during Lake County windstorms.
Custom sizes from small storefront displays to massive building wraps. Indoor banners for conferences and retail promotions. Promotional banners for festivals, sales events, and grand openings throughout the Round Lake Park area.
Each banner comes with proper finishing—grommets, pole pockets, or mounting hardware—so you can actually use them without hassle. We also handle installation if you need it, because a banner that’s not properly hung is a banner that’s not working.
Quality matters more than anything when it comes to banner lifespan. Our outdoor vinyl banners typically last 3-5 years in Illinois weather when made with premium materials and UV-resistant inks.
The key is using the right material for your specific application. We use calendered vinyl for flat installations and cast vinyl for complex curves or long-term outdoor use. Cheap banners from generic print shops often fail within 6-12 months because they use inferior materials that can’t handle temperature swings and UV exposure.
Mesh banners last even longer—often 5-7 years—because the perforations reduce wind stress that can cause tearing. We also properly finish all edges and use commercial-grade grommets that won’t rust or pull out over time.
Retractable banners are portable display systems perfect for trade shows, conferences, and indoor events. They roll up into a compact base unit and extend to full height—usually 6-8 feet—in seconds. Great for businesses that attend multiple events or need flexible indoor signage.
Vinyl banners are designed for fixed installations, both indoor and outdoor. They’re more cost-effective for permanent or long-term displays like storefront signage, construction site announcements, or seasonal promotions. Vinyl banners offer more size flexibility and can handle weather exposure that would damage retractable units.
For Round Lake Park businesses, we often recommend vinyl banners for outdoor marketing and retractable banners for indoor events or trade shows in the Chicago area. Many of our clients use both types depending on their specific marketing needs.
Standard turnaround is 3-5 business days for most custom banner orders. This includes design time if you need custom artwork created from scratch.
Rush orders are available when you’re up against a tight deadline—we can often produce banners in 24-48 hours for an additional fee. The key is getting us your specifications and artwork approval quickly so we can prioritize your job in our production schedule.
For large orders or complex installations, we typically need 5-7 business days to ensure everything is perfect. We’d rather take an extra day to get it right than rush a job that doesn’t meet our standards or your expectations.
Yes, we handle installation throughout the Round Lake Park area and surrounding Lake County communities. Our certified installers know how to properly mount banners so they stay secure and look professional.
Installation pricing depends on banner size, mounting location, and complexity. Simple storefront installations are straightforward, while building wraps or high-mounted banners require specialized equipment and additional safety measures.
We can also provide installation hardware and detailed instructions if you prefer to handle mounting yourself. Many of our Round Lake Park clients choose this option for indoor banners or simple outdoor installations where they have the necessary tools and access.
We accept most common file formats including PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, and high-resolution JPG or PNG files. PDF is usually best because it preserves fonts and colors exactly as intended.
For optimal print quality, files should be at least 300 DPI at actual print size. If your artwork is smaller than the final banner size, we can often work with lower resolution files, but quality may be affected on very large banners.
Don’t have design files? No problem. Our design team can create custom artwork from scratch, work with your existing logos and photos, or even start with a rough sketch of your ideas. We’ll provide proofs for approval before printing to ensure everything looks exactly right.
Banner pricing depends on size, material, and quantity. Basic vinyl banners typically range from $3-8 per square foot, while premium materials or specialty finishes cost more.
A standard 3×8 foot vinyl banner usually runs $75-150, depending on design complexity and material choice. Retractable banner displays range from $200-400 including the stand and printed graphic. Large building banners or mesh banners for construction sites vary based on specific requirements.
We provide detailed quotes for every project because every business has different needs. Factors like design time, rush orders, installation requirements, and quantity discounts all affect final pricing. The investment is typically much less than other advertising options and provides years of continuous marketing exposure.
