Matte or Glossy Banner Options.

We have both banner options to suit your needs.

We produce a variety of different styles and types of banners to meet our customers needs. But this particular question and answer will deal directly with our most popular banners: standard printed banners, rip-resistant banners and over-sized large banners. All these products have instant online pricing and can be ordered quickly, with most banners being completed within two to three business days (excluding our over-sized large banners which take from five to seven business days to complete.)

STANDARD BANNERS (Glossy)

Our standard banners have a glossy finish and are one of our biggest selling products. The glossy finish of our standard banner adds to the visual presence of the banner itself, making the colors "pop" giving your banner advertising vibrancy. Standard glossy banners are weatherproof and can be used indoors and outdoors. With a straight cut edge, our standard glossy banners, look very sharp and work well for most all banner advertising needs.

RIP-RESISTANT BANNERS (Matte)

Our rip-resistant banner material carries a more muted matte finish. The matte finish of this banner style is highly sought after when banner needs dictate that the face of the banner not be shiny (or glossy.) Sometimes the banner needs to command that the banner have a dull finish so that light doesn't reflect as easily off the banner, causing glare. Rip-resistant banners also have a nice straight cut edge for a clean look without the shine.

LARGE BANNERS (Matte and Glossy)

Our large banner printing involves a different process than our standard and rip-resistant banners. The banner image is printed onto different material that will be stitched and hemmed to create the overall finished size of the banner. The banner material for large banners is matte in nature, with the printed portion of the banner, utilizing glossy inks. So in essence, large banners are both glossy and matte at the same time.

VINYL LETTERING ONLY BANNERS (Matte and Glossy)

Lettering only banners are somewhat similar in nature to our large banners in that the base of the banner is matte and the guts are glossy. The text of a vinyl letter only banner is cut out of large rolls of colored vinyl. Once the color vinyl has been cut out to shape and weeded, the vinyl letters are applied to the vinyl banner itself, creating a simple banner style that is very desirable for cheap banner advertising.
