How does it work?
There are two ways to go, we can can design your banners or you can supply us the artwork.

I would like you to design our banner
If you would like us to design your banner, then all we need is the text, logo if you have one and pictures. Preferably a logo would be supplied as Vector eps, which means it is made of lines not dots like a picture. A picture if supplied should be a minimum of 300dpi and the larger the better. If you do not have any pictures, but would like to use some then we can find the right picture for you at no extra cost. Web pictures are generally not good enough quality for print work. If you are not too sure, then don't worry just send us what you've got and we will check it for you. Or just give us a ring. You can send us your information laid out roughly on Microsoft Word, via email or by post. Once we receive all the required information then our friendly and experienced in-house Graphics and Production team will design your banner to your specifications. We will then send you a PDF proof via email. We realise we can't always get it right first time, but as there is one set price then we keep trying to you are happy with the design.

I would like to supply you the artwork
If you would like to supply us the artwork, then please follow these specifications. Scale: You can scale down to 10% to the size of the artwork. For instance if you banner is 5m x 2m. Then you would set your page as 500mm x 200mm. Bleed: Please supply your artwork with no bleed and no crop marks. Make sure the text is not too close to the edge, at least allow 10mm on all sides.
