Custom Outdoor Vinyl Banner

Custom Outdoor Vinyl Banners

If you aren't sure what to buy, our custom outdoor vinyl banner is one of our most popular products for exterior use. Built for storefronts, construction sites, sporting events, and roadside advertising alike, every custom outdoor vinyl banner we print ships with heat-welded hems as standard construction — not an upgrade — and vibrant, weather-resistant color that holds up through sun, wind, and rain.

Choose Your Vinyl Banner Material

All of our vinyl banner materials are printed using industrial CMYK, eco-friendly UV-solvent inks, which cure fast under UV light for sharp, true-to-life color and lifelike photographic resolution.

• Standard Vinyl (13 oz) — Fine for mild outdoor conditions and shorter-term placements; rated for 6-12 months of continuous outdoor use.
• Premium High Definition Vinyl (15 oz) — A heavier, denser vinyl banner material for sharper detail and longer-lasting durability in outdoor settings.
• Outdoor/Heavy Duty Vinyl (18 oz) — Our most rugged material, purpose-built for extended outdoor exposure, high-wind areas, and long-term installations.
• Mesh Vinyl (9 oz) — Perforated mesh lets wind pass through the banner, reducing tearing and stress on fences, scaffolding, and other high-wind outdoor spots — the top choice for windy, exposed locations.

Vinyl Banner Sizes & Orientation

Order your custom banner online from 1' x 1' up to 5' x 30' — our maximum printable size. Choose Landscape (Horizontal: H x W) or Portrait (Vertical: W x H) orientation.

💡 Need a custom size that isn't listed? Select the next size up and note your exact dimensions in the design instructions — we'll trim it to spec at no extra charge.

💡 Sizing tolerance: finished dimensions may vary by up to 1 inch on small format banners, or up to 10% on large format banners.

Finishing Options

• Grommets & Hemming — Heat-welded hems (fused, not sewn, so nothing unravels) with rust-resistant metal grommets for hanging, included at no additional charge — essential for secure outdoor mounting.
• Hemming Only — Reinforced heat-welded edges without grommets.
• None — Raw cut edge, no finishing.
• Pole Pockets (optional) — 3" flat pole pockets sized to fit a 1" diameter pole, available on the top, bottom, top & bottom, or both sides — a popular choice for outdoor pole-mounted displays.
• Edge Velcro (optional) — Add hook-and-loop fastening along the edge; specify placement in your design instructions.
• Pantone Color Match (optional) — Match a specific Pantone color for brand consistency. Provide your Pantone number in the design instructions.

Artwork & Design

Have print-ready art? Upload it directly during checkout. For the sharpest results, send a vector file (AI, EPS, or PDF) or a high-resolution raster image at 300+ DPI at full print size.

• Recommended formats: PDF, AI (Adobe Illustrator), PSD (Photoshop), JPG, and TIFF.
• Also accepted: EPS and SVG.
• Vector vs. raster: vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) scale to any size with no loss of quality. Raster files (JPG, TIFF, PSD) work great too as long as they're at least 300 DPI at full print size.

Once you order, our design team reviews your artwork and sends a digital proof, typically within 24 hours, with revisions before anything goes to print.
