Industrial Strength

All of our Canvas Café Banners are stitched using industrial strength threads and machines. This commitment to quality ensures that our banners are durable and can withstand various environmental conditions. Unlike other suppliers, who may resort to cheaper methods like gluing or welding, we prioritise craftsmanship and longevity in our products. By choosing stitching over these alternatives, we guarantee that our banners will maintain their integrity and aesthetics even after extended use. This attention to detail not only enhances the overall appearance of the banners but also provides our customers with peace of mind, knowing that they are investing in a reliable and high-quality product.

Vinyl Transfer Print

To ensure a clear, crisp print, we brand our Canvas Café Banners using the heat transfer process. This method is not just about achieving vibrant colours; it also plays a crucial role in the longevity of the print. By utilising heat transfer, we guarantee that not only does the print remain colourfast and stable, but also that the vinyl used will last as long as the material it is transferred to.

Moreover, this technique allows for a seamless integration of design and substrate, resulting in a polished and professional appearance that enhances the overall aesthetics of your café. The durability of the materials used means that your banners will withstand the test of time, even in busy environments where exposure to the elements is a concern. Consequently, our commitment to quality ensures that your branding remains intact and visually appealing, drawing in customers and effectively promoting your business.

Multi Coloured Print

We are not restricted in what we can print. Our in-house printing facility can accommodate most sizes and artwork. This flexibility allows us to cater to a diverse range of projects, whether you need large banners for an event or intricate designs for promotional materials. Additionally, our state-of-the-art equipment ensures high-quality output, bringing your creative visions to life with precision and clarity. This means that no matter the complexity or scale of your project, you can trust us to deliver exceptional results tailored to your specific needs. Ultimately, our extensive capabilities empower you to explore endless possibilities in your printing endeavours.

Strength

Our Canvas Café Banners not only offer a beautiful finish, but they have been made with strength in mind. This combination of aesthetic appeal and durability makes them an ideal choice for various settings. Normal applications include marine and display, where both visual impact and resilience are essential. For instance, in marine environments, our banners can withstand the harsh elements, ensuring they remain vibrant and functional over time. You will see our material on almost all awnings or giant umbrellas in Europe, showcasing its versatility and popularity. This widespread use is a testament to the quality and reliability of our products, making them a trusted option for businesses and events alike.

Before submitting your artwork to us, please make sure you have read our artwork and proofing guidelines, which are detailed below. Adhering to these guidelines is crucial in ensuring that your artwork is processed smoothly and meets our quality standards.

Artwork Files

We will only accept files in the following formats: PDF, Ai, and EPS. It is important that these files are editable and in high resolution, as this will significantly impact the quality of your final printed product. Additionally, all font files must be converted to outlines to avoid any issues during printing. If your fonts are not converted to outlines, we kindly request that you supply the font file as a .ttf file. Please note that we do not work with or accept Microsoft Word files or PowerPoint presentations, as these formats do not meet our technical requirements.

Preparation of Artwork

When preparing your artwork, please set it up without bleed or crop marks. This will help us to maintain a clean and professional appearance in the final product. Furthermore, the overall height of our standard banners is 860mm, which includes 90mm top and bottom pockets. To ensure optimal visibility and design integrity, we do not advise having your artwork printed over the pockets. Consequently, the overall print area height for your artwork should therefore be 680mm, allowing for the proper display of your design.

Please Note

It is important to understand that we cannot be held responsible for any spelling errors, typos, incorrect telephone numbers, or improper setup of files. To ensure a seamless process, we encourage you to double-check your artwork before submission. If we believe that a file is incorrect before production, we will reach out to you and request a new file, as our goal is to provide you with the best possible results.

Finally, we advise that all artwork is supplied at 300dpi at full size. This high resolution is essential for producing sharp and clear images in the final product. By following these guidelines, you can help us create a stunning representation of your design that meets your expectations.

Printing

Please ensure that all artwork files are set to CMYK. Computer screens and other digital displays create colour in RGB. This stands for red, green & blue. The mixture of these 3 primary colours creates all the different colours you see. In printing we print in CMYK. We use these 4 colours – Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black in combination to create a printed banner. This means that if artwork is supplied to us in RGB our software needs to convert the colour to CMYK. This conversion process can sometimes give unexpected results and printed colours can look very different to what you expected. It is therefore important that the artwork file you send us is converted to CMYK before it is sent.

We can match Pantone colours; however, we cannot guarantee an exact match. You must notify us of any Pantone colours that require matching. If you do not notify us of any Pantone colours on your artwork, then we will print to the nearest CMYK value. Due to the nature and limitations of the CMYK printing system, we cannot guarantee an exact match. If you would like us to run a sample, this will incur a small cost and extend your lead time.

Proofing

When ordering banners, we will provide you with a proof as standard. Your proofs will be sent over to you via email within 3 working days. Your first 2 proofs are supplied free. Any other proofs that need to be provided after this will incur an additional cost.

Your order will not be put into production until we receive proof approval from yourselves. If we do not receive artwork confirmation, then this will delay the shipping of your order.

Banner Sizing

Our banners are manufactured in-house and can be made to any width. For ease of use, the following sizes are manufactured as standard post centres. 1200mm, 1500mm, 1800mm, 2000mm. The actual width of the banner is 214mm less than the post centre dimension. See diagram below.
