1.  How do I hang my banner?
There are as many ways to hang banners as there are places to hang them. We provide metal grommets every 2-3 feet across the top of the banner and on the lower two corners. The most common approach is to use string, rope or bungee cords to attach the grommets to whatever the situation offers in terms of tie points.
If you are hanging your banner where wind will be a factor you should make an extra effort to keep the banner taut and minimize its ability to 'whip in the wind'.

2.  Will I need 'wind slits'?
Probably not! Wind slits are half moon shaped cuts in the banner which are used in high wind conditions to allow the wind to pass through the banner and reduce the wind loading on the banner itself. They can be a blessing and a curse! While they do reduce the load on the banners they can, in very high winds, provide a place for a tear to begin. We do not provide them but, if your situation calls for such extra measures you may easily add them using a paint can for a template and cutting the slits with a utility knife. If your banner will be subjected to severe wind conditions you may wish to contact us at specialorder@discountvinylbanners.com for our recommendations on how to deal with the problem.

3.  How should I store my banner when it's not in use?
Given some care your DVB banner can give you years of service. Cleaning can be done with soap and water or isopropyl alcohol. When storing it roll it-never fold it---with the graphics facing OUT!


4.  Can I get my logo or any other special graphic on my banner?
These great prices and delivery times prevent us from offering graphics. We will add such devices as arrows, exclamations and normal punctuation as required. However, if you require a graphic or a logo you may e-mail us at specialorder@discountvinylbanners.com describing your design. If you wish to include a file attachment please be sure it is an EPS or vectorized file. We will respond with a quote within 24 hours during the business week.


5.  Can I get other special features which I can't find in the Design Section....like double sided banners or vertical banners?
In pursuit of our "Keep it Simple" policy we cannot offer these variations within these price and delivery constraints. (For instance, double-sided banners require a special material to insure that you don't read both sides at once!) However, you may contact us at specialorder@discountvinylbanners.com and we will e-mail you quote and delivery information.


6.  Can I get a proof without actually placing an order?
Sorry, but as you can imagine, this would be an enormous and unproductive drain on our limited resources. We feel our order formats are simple and straightforward and we prefer to focus on filling actual orders in a timely manner.


7.  How long will it take to get a proof of my banner?
On business days we will e-mail you a proof within a 4-6 hours. We are conveniently located in the middle of the country and on Central Standard Time.


8.  Suppose I want to make changes to the proof you send me?
Simply REPLY making whatever comments or changes you'd like to see. We will make the changes and e-mail you a second proof, again, within 4-6 hours.

9. How long will it take to get my banner after I approve the proof?

Depending on the time of day we receive your approval we will ship the same day or the next business day. Our normal shipping is by UPS Ground but 2nd Day Air and Next Day Air options are available. Once we turn your banner over to UPS you will receive an e-mail notice of shipment and the tracking number.
