Have your own design or just want something different than our standard designs? No Problem. We print thousands of custom church banners. Many churches have access to great designers capable of designing some of the most gorgeous church banners you have ever seen. Such designs and designers need our level of quality to make their designs come alive.
Need a few banner design tips? A little help is below.
IMPORTANT – If the image does NOT look good to you on your screen, it probably will not print well either.
1.) DESIGN SIZE – Always design at FULL SIZE if at all possible. It is best and easiest that way. One inch on your screen equals one inch on your banner.
2.) FILE RESOLUTION – At FULL SIZE, we would like 150 DPI. At that dpi, we can take maximum advantage of our banner printers. However, resolutions as low as 50 dpi, at Full Size, may be perfectly acceptable to you. For very large banners, over 50 square feet, we suggest you drop your resolution to 100 or 75 dpi as the file size may be to large for your computer to handle in a timely manner. At that size, the decreased resolution will not be noticed by the viewer. (NOTE: If we believe the resolution of your file is inadequate to produce an acceptable banner, we will tell you so.)
DISTANCE – We call distance the “Great Healer” for Low Resolution Images. What happens is, as one gets further away from the banner, the rough edges and grainy areas merge in the eye and become “smooth”. The image may not look good three or four feet away, but ten to fifteen feet away it will probably look just fine, and twenty to twenty five feet away it will look GREAT.
3.) FILE TYPES WE LIKE BEST - HIGH Resolution PDF (at full size) & TIFF are our favorites. When possible, save your file as one of these types. Programs we love are Adobe PhotoShop and Illustrator. Just flatten your Photoshop file, or create outlines AND IMBED you images in Illustrator and send us the original .psd or .ai file.
4.) QUARK & INDESIGN - ALWAYS send us FULL SIZE PDF's from these two programs. We consistently have problems with the native programs and native files may slow down your delivery time.
5.) POWER POINT - Power Point designs generally reproduce well at larger sizes. The exception is image files placed into Power Point. Be SURE your layout is the same proportions as your final print size. Use ONLY the fonts that come with Power Point. Use the "View Rulers" option and design using 1 inch = 1 foot. Just send us your Power Point .ppt file as is.
6.) MICROSOFT PUBLISHER – A.) Lay out your banner at the FULL SIZE you want it to be. – B.) Use ONLY the fonts that come with Publisher. C.) Save it as ("Save As...") Tag Image File Format (*.tif). – D.) Send us the TIF file. This eliminates any font problems.
7.) PROBLEM PROGRAM - Microsoft WORD. Microsoft Word often has font and graphic problems. If you MUST use WORD, use ONLY the standard Word fonts. OFTEN, WORD graphics are low resolution and will not print well, so be careful. If you have any questions – just call.
8.) VERY VERY IMPORTANT – AT ALL TIMES, MAKE SURE your design is PROPORTIONAL to your banner size. If you are not SURE, call us. We will walk you through proportionality.
9.) DESIGN IN A “SAFETY AREA” - Do not place important elements too close to the edge of your banner as it may “crowd” the edge and make it look unprofessional. We suggest a 1” area around your banner where there is no important image element.
Also, if your banner uses POCKETS, put all text and IMPORTANT design elements at least 2” below the top of the pocket so the graphic does not interfere with the pocket hemline.
Of course, some designs are built to “run off the edge” as part of the “look” of the graphic and that is a perfectly acceptable design look.
10.) APPROVAL PROCESS - The next business day after we receive your design, we will email you a proof for your approval. The following business day after your approval, your production schedule starts.
11.) If you have ANY questions, email or call us for help. We've been at this for 15 years. We will treat you with respect, dignity and Southern Hospitality. You can reach us at Banners@NewTechGraphics.com, or 901-759-0932.
Your design is critical in helping us produce a very high-end Christian Church Banner of which your congregation will be proud. We urge you to to take the time to understand our specifications. Please call us with any questions.
