Roller banner artwork setup guide

Introduction

When producing a roller banner, it is standard practise to print the graphic on a roll of material, then cut it out and fix it into the stand. Because the banner stand requires printing before assembly, there are a few rules which need to be observed to ensure that this can be done successfully.

Guide

-The inner (green) box shows the finished size of the banner stand. Nothing outside of the green box will be visible once the product is made up.

-The outer (red) box shows the edge of the document. If you have a background colour/image, it needs to extend right to the edge of this red box, so that we are not left with a white border when trimming down the graphic.

-There needs to be 3mm between the green and red boxes on the top, left and right of the banner, to allow us to trim the design from the sheet it is printed on.

-At the bottom, there needs to be 100mm between the green and red boxes. This allows us to fix the banner into the stand without worry of the background colour/image ending abruptly before the bottom of the graphic.

-As with all printed products, you want everything to be as clear and readable as possible, so it is best practise to make sure your important information makes best use of the space, without any cluttering. The example we have used here demonstrates this perfectly.
