  • Advice needed with a cheap banner supplier

    Posted by Leigh Hellier on 19 November 2008 at 22:07

    Hi everyone,

    Ive come across my first problem which hopefully u guys could help me with and would be much appreciated.

    A company has asked me to do make a 20ft x 5ft banner, im going to have to buy at least 60ft just in case i screw up which is probably likely at least once 😳
    so can anybody recommend a cheap banner supplier?

    Can’t see why it would screw up! It’s only 20 feet not 20 metres!

    Have faith!

    Why do you think you are going to screw it up?

    Your request is a little hard to answer really, many people on the boards do banners, but because of board rules, cannot put themselves forward.

    It may be better if you ask for a quote in the "quote and subcontracting forum"

    if it’s just cut vinyl how can you screw it up?? you can buy a hemmed eyeletted banner ready for you to apply vinyl to

    You are not showing yet as full a member Leigh,, it can take a little while for Rob to process.

    Meanwhile, I would recommend you ask advice on how to do one yourself, its not as hard as you think, and certainly something that you will benefit from.

    the biggest thing i was worrying about was making the banner but ive now found out you can buy already made banners for pretty cheap so im well confident now and ive got a bigger profit than making it from scratch. thanks for your help peter
