A Family's Dream, Printed One Banner at a Time

We are a husband and wife shop in Ludowici, Georgia. Veteran owned, and small enough that the two of us touch every order that leaves the building.

Your banner is printed in house on our Mimaki printers, then hemmed and grommeted by hand. Nothing is imported, nothing is drop shipped from overseas, and nothing is handed to a third party we cannot answer for.

Supporting us means supporting a dream and we take that seriously on every single banner.

FAQ

What material are your banners?

Premium vinyl, the standard for outdoor signage. It is tear resistant, curl resistant and fire rated (NFPA 701), printed on one smooth side in full color.

How long will a banner last outside?

The material is rated for one year outdoors. Indoors, or somewhere sheltered, it lasts a good deal longer. Sun and constant wind are what wear a banner out.

How do I choose my size?

Sizes are width by height in feet. If none of the listed sizes fit, choose Custom size and enter your own. One side needs to be 4 ft or less to fit our printer. Larger than that we print through a partner shop, so message us for a custom quote.

What is hemming, and do I need it?

A hem is the edge folded back and heat welded, which stops it fraying and gives the grommets something solid to grip. Outdoors or anywhere the banner gets handled, get it hemmed. Indoors on a wall for one event, you can skip it.

Which grommet option should I pick?

Corners only is enough for a small banner indoors. Every 2 ft puts grommets right around the perimeter, which is what you want outdoors or on anything wide, because it spreads the load instead of tearing at four points.

What file should I send?

Design it at 200 DPI at the final size you want it printed. Large format is viewed from a distance, so 200 DPI is plenty and it keeps the file a sensible size. PNG, JPG, PDF, SVG, AI and EPS all work.

Do I get to see a proof?

Yes. Banners are proofed before we print, so you see exactly what is going on the vinyl and approve it before anything is committed. Nothing prints without your say so.

How fast will I get it?

Printing starts once you approve the proof. Adding Rush processing moves your whole order to the front of the queue and gets your proof back in under 24 business hours.

Can I pick it up instead of shipping?

Yes, local pickup is available at 474 Prince Road SE, Ludowici, GA 31316. Please wait until you receive the ready for pickup email before heading to the shop.

Can you design the banner for me?

We can. Send us what you have in mind through Special Instructions and we will come back with a quote for the design work before anything is charged.
