Industries · Signage & wide format

Sign and large format design software.

Customers type the size of the banner. The canvas, the bleed, the hem and the eyelets follow it, the price follows the square metres, and the artwork is checked at the size it will print. Every setting is yours to change.

1 · Set up

Banners that size themselves. Set to your shop.

Tell us you print banners and signs, and the Banner product arrives with three materials, their finishing and a price per square metre. Every value is a starting point for your own.

2 · Design

A canvas the size of the banner.

Switch the finishing and the view. This is the studio your customers use.

Banner2000 × 1000 mm · vinyl
  • Artwork at 118 dpi at this size
  • Text clear of the hem and eyelets
  • Everything inside the safe area
2.00 m² · 1 banner£48.00 hem & eyelets included
1Checked at the size it prints

A logo that’s fine on a poster is flagged on a six-metre banner, because resolution is measured at the size typed.

2Bleed, hem and eyelets drawn

The customer sees the bleed, the safe area, the hem keep-out and an eyelet every 500 mm while they design.

3Too big for the roll? Tiled.

A piece wider than the material is split into panels with a 25 mm overlap, and the customer is told how many.

4Finishing on the canvas

Switch to pole pockets and the canvas changes with it, so nothing important sits in the pocket.

3 · Price

Priced by the square metre.

Drag the size, pick the material and the finishing. The same rates price the basket, the studio and your quotes.

FAQ

About signs and banners

Not answered here? Write to us and a person from the shop-floor team replies within a working day.

Can I change the sizes, materials, finishing and rates?

Yes, all of them. The Banner product arrives with defaults so you can sell on day one; every size, material, finishing option and rate is yours to change.

Can customers type any size?

Any size between the smallest and the largest you set: 300 to 5,000 mm wide by default. The canvas and the price follow it.

What happens when a banner is wider than my roll?

The studio splits it into panels with a 25 mm overlap and tells the customer. Each panel gets its own print file, with crop marks.

Do you produce press-ready PDFs?

Yes. Print files come as press-ready PDF/X-4 with bleed and crop marks, at the size ordered.
