It is read from across a room or a field, it takes minutes to hang, and it can be stored and reused for years if the design avoids dates.The range covers printed satin ribbon banners in a range of widths and lengths, and related event and display banners.

Design for the viewing distance

The most common banner mistake is too much text. A banner is read by people who are walking, at a distance, in a few seconds. A short headline and a logo is the maximum that works; detail belongs on something handed over.

Keep the important content in the upper half, since the lower portion is often obscured by people or furniture.

Size, width and length

Ribbon banners come in a range of widths and lengths, and the right combination depends on where it hangs. Measure the space first, including the fixings, because a banner that is slightly too long has nowhere to go.

For a banner spanning a doorway or a table, a narrower width with a longer run reads better than a wide banner crammed into the space.

Fabric and reuse

Dye sublimated satin and polyester hold color permanently, fold without cracking, and can be washed, which is what makes a banner reusable across seasons.

Fold rather than roll for storage, and steam rather than iron directly on satin. Hang it the night before an event so the creases drop out.

Design for reuse by leaving dates and event names off the main banner. A separate small panel can carry the year. Browse the full range in Events & Trade Shows.
