Big Messages That Travel Well
A good banner works the moment it goes up: readable from across a room or a road, steady in the wind and sharp in every photograph. Choose the format by where it will stand and how often it will move.

X-Banners
Light, quick and portable
A lighter stand for short promotions and indoor events, set up in a minute and easy to carry between venues.
PVC Banners
Big messages, bigger impact

Mesh Banners
Made for wind
Perforated PVC for high or exposed positions, so the banner does not act like a sail and tear its fixings.
Fabric Banners

Printed fabric for indoor backdrops, stage drapes and hanging banners: matt, light to carry and kind to camera flashes.
Teardrop & Feather Flags

- 2.25 m × 2.25 mPress corners, small launches and photo spots
- 3 m × 2.25 mConference registration and red-carpet walls
- 6 m × 2.25 mMain stages, galas and large sponsor walls

Advice
Which Banner for Which Job
- Photo walls and press corners: a media banner; pick the size by how many people stand in each photo.
- Receptions, stalls and expos: a roll-up, because it sets up in a minute and travels in its bag.
- Building fronts, fences and gates: PVC for sheltered spots, mesh where the wind is strong.
- Roadsides and forecourts: teardrop or feather flags, which move and catch the eye.
- Stages and halls: fabric banners, which stay matt under lights and cameras.
For permanent shop fronts and reception walls, see our signage service instead; banners are built to be moved, signs to stay.
Specifications
Materials and Finishing
- Frontlit PVC flex
- General outdoor banners; water-resistant; hemmed with eyelets
- Mesh PVC
- Fences, building fronts and high positions in the wind
- Printed fabric
- Media banners, backdrops and stage drapes; matt, foldable and reusable
- Roll-up film
- Anti-curl print for roll-up stands so the graphic hangs flat
- Flag fabric
- Lightweight knitted polyester printed through, for teardrop and feather flags
Outdoor PVC banners in direct Nairobi sun stay presentable for about a year of continuous display; banners used for events and stored indoors last far longer.
Files
Artwork for Large Format
- Size: set the document at full size (a roll-up is 850 × 2000 mm) or at an exact 1:10 scale, and tell us which.
- Resolution: 150 dpi at full size for roll-ups and posters; 72–100 dpi is enough for banners viewed from several metres.
- Bleed: 20 mm on every side for banners, plus 100 mm at the bottom of a roll-up, which disappears into the base.
- Readability: keep logos out of the bottom 200 mm of a roll-up and body text at 60 pt or more.

Care
Setting up, Storing and Reusing Banners
A roll-up stand is built to be reused; the print is what wears out. Pull the print up slowly and hook it; guide it back down by hand rather than letting it snap into the base; store it flat and away from heat. When the message changes, we print a new graphic for your existing stand for noticeably less than a new roll-up.
For outdoor banners, tie every eyelet and leave slight slack so wind can move the banner without tearing it. Fold fabric media banners loosely into their bag and air them before storing. For a complete event, pair banners with event branding, printed flyers and brochures and branded staff apparel.
