Rolling a banner

Recommended Posts

So, what way is best to roll up a finished banner that was done in Vinyl.  I'm gonna guess the work on the inside but I spent tons of time on this no way I goof it up by rolling it up wrong...LOl

Face Out.

 

Rolling with vinyl lettering/graphics on the inside promotes lifting or tunneling of the applied vinyls.

I should ask...Whats the going rate on a 6 foot banner.  This is for a local Jr Hockey Team.  I said 50.00 bucks.

That said....your customers will ALL roll face in or try and fold the banner!

 

Along with our company name & phone,

I mark on the back turned under edge of every banner:

 

ROLL FACE OUT - DO NOT FOLD!

 

and, mark both banner ends.

 

If it is a one time only banner...don't worry about it.

Pricing for vinyl depends on the size and how much work is involved, 

how many colors, words only or logos & graphics.

2 colors...Hockey Name and sponsor names.  pst of it was copy and paste from previous work I did.  All 651 vinyl.  I'd say the whole thing took me 2 hours with computer work and weeding etc

Here's a guide for pricing:

 

http://thesignexpert.com/sign-pricing-calculators/

 

I usually have Basic Prices set for particular banner sizes and

they include "BASIC" design... created vector graphics & logos

are extra as are excessive colors, changes & proof copies.

 

The full color banners are really easier to design now than 

the cut vinyl!  AND the vendors sure are fast!

Design it...Order it...Mark it up!

OK, I just tried a 4x4 decal one color and it said 1.40 to sell...Ummm I guess I'm over charging on those.  I usually get 3-4 bucks ea.  Holly smokes, I'm way off on everything

Prices depend on the local area too. $3-$4 is reasonable after you consider your time and labor also. My minimum charge for a basic already vectored decal is $5 for up to 5"x5".

So after you roll it, which end do you light?

 

Oh Don, there are better things to smoke!
