At Signs.com, we offer two (2) types of banner material:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Vinyl<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> \u2013 lightweight, printed with durable UV ink, easy to clean, and has a glossier finish than fabric.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">UV Fabric<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> \u2013 lightweight, printed using a dye-sublimation process, washable, and has a smooth matte finish.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">When choosing the material for your retractable banner, ensure that it aligns with your design goals, environmental factors, and practical considerations to effectively convey your message while meeting the demands of its intended use. Considering these factors will not only help your banner to stand out but also perform well.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">1 . Sketch the Design<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sketching something can mean a few things. For some designers, drafting a design can be done on paper or whiteboard. Others prefer to use digital sketch programs like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/drawings\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Google Drawings<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/products\/xd\/details.html\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Adobe XD<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">. Whatever you decide to use, getting a general outline and feel of the design is the most important part of this step. You can also search for ideas online and use them as inspiration for your retractable banner design. Using Google search is a good place to start.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">2. Focus on Your Brand<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"648\" height=\"324\" class=\"wp-image-20731\" src=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Brand_648x324_72dpi-1.jpg\" alt=\"Brand Focused Retractable Banner\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">When designing your retractable banner, make sure that the logo of your brand is prominent and noticeable. Many banners use the logo as the focal point of the entire design, and most customers will recognize the logo quickly and know it is you. Put emphasis on your brand colors, and use them with complementing ones. The banner can also be an extension of your website, store, or any other promotional materials you create so consider giving them a unified look.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=83f71a82-94f8-4a3b-ad1b-7140b2d46e97\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Retr-Banner-Pr-T1.jpg\" alt=\"Retractable banner design template\" width=\"125\" height=\"314\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Click the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=83f71a82-94f8-4a3b-ad1b-7140b2d46e97\">template<\/a> to use on Signs.com<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=1ffd3c74-b309-4aaa-81b3-197a0ff3dc3c\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"124\" height=\"301\" class=\"wp-image-20757\" src=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Retr-Banner-St-T1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Retractable banner design template\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Click the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=1ffd3c74-b309-4aaa-81b3-197a0ff3dc3c\">template<\/a> to use on Signs.com<\/p>\r\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">3.

If you have a brand guide,<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> use i<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">t to correctly get the logo file, style, colors, and fonts you\u2019ll use in your designs. But if you don&#8217;t a have brand book, you can use the same logo, font, and color scheme featured in your store and website. Remember to note the color codes and fonts so you use them consistently in future designs. This will help establish a strong brand identity and make it easier for customers to recognize your brand.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=1a54a8f0-c6ce-41b2-b129-2012c1453ae7\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20759\" src=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Retr-Banner-Pr-T2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"122\" height=\"306\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Click the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=1a54a8f0-c6ce-41b2-b129-2012c1453ae7\">template<\/a> to use on Signs.com<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=1103a39e-4e6e-46b3-a470-2aba4591c424\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"301\" class=\"wp-image-20761\" src=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Retr-Banner-St-T2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Click the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=1103a39e-4e6e-46b3-a470-2aba4591c424\">template<\/a> to use on Signs.com<\/p>\r\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">4.

People read and view everything from left to right and top to bottom, so avoid designs that go against this. However, that doesn\u2019t mean everything needs to be left aligned. Centering your design or headline can work great with some designs, especially with retractable banners. Their long and vertical shape allows you to use bold fonts and all caps in a strategic way.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=552055ad-bab1-48a1-ad67-203f823d943f\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20767\" src=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Retr-Banner-Pr-T4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"126\" height=\"316\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Click the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=552055ad-bab1-48a1-ad67-203f823d943f\">template<\/a> to use on Signs.com<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=50ef7bf6-7119-4181-8979-ae5499d49598\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"301\" class=\"wp-image-20769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Retr-Banner-St-T4.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Click the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=50ef7bf6-7119-4181-8979-ae5499d49598\">template<\/a> to use on Signs.com<\/p>\r\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">6.

Use it to achieve balance between design elements. A design with 10 images that have no borders or space between them will never look as clean and balanced as one that has 2 or 3 evenly-spaced images. Keep the same in mind with text. Avoid using long paragraphs and consider breaking them up and shortening them. Spacing and staying away from the top and side edges of the design are important in conserving white space.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=8d6e8af7-f1e6-4ff5-8dbb-c9acd90c8a55\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Retr-Banner-Pr-T5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"124\" height=\"311\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Click the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=8d6e8af7-f1e6-4ff5-8dbb-c9acd90c8a55\">template<\/a> to use on Signs.com<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=9bccbda2-2d64-4322-8256-a33a52d5af17\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"124\" height=\"301\" class=\"wp-image-20773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Retr-Banner-St-T5.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Click the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=9bccbda2-2d64-4322-8256-a33a52d5af17\">template<\/a> to use on Signs.com<\/p>\r\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">7.

Choose high-quality images including your logos. Using low-quality images results in blurry and pixelated designs.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The metric used for digital resolution of your image files is PPI (pixels per inch). PPI is calculated by dividing the number of pixels in your image by the number of inches in your design. For more information on understanding dimensions and image quality please check out our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/the-best-resolution-for-printing-photos-banners-signs-and-more-signage-101\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">guide on resolution.<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> With most retractable banners, we recommend a minimum of 70 ppi and 300 ppi for table top retractable banners. Keeping correct dimensions and PPI in mind will ensure that your image files are suitable for <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">signs of any size.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=238eaf79-1aea-49c3-b452-22ffdc6acab6\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"301\" class=\"wp-image-20779\" src=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Retr-Banner-St-T7.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Click the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=238eaf79-1aea-49c3-b452-22ffdc6acab6\"> template<\/a> to use on Signs.com<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=a52ad89c-e95e-4eee-8c2f-50e63cd6cbbb\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20781\" src=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Retr-Banner-Pr-T7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"125\" height=\"316\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Click the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/design\/?id=a52ad89c-e95e-4eee-8c2f-50e63cd6cbbb\">template<\/a> to use on Signs.com<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW70027544 BCX0\" lang=\"EN\" xml:lang=\"EN\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW70027544 BCX0\">9.
