Creating your print ready file for your pull-up banner?
Setting up your pull-up or pop-up banner artwork could not be easier, especially if you're looking to print banners in Phoenix with AlphaGraphics Camelback's help. For example, the most popular size is 36" wide x 80" tall (or as tall as 90" if you like). Start by creating a simple rectangle vertical page layout in the final finished size (i.e. 36" wide x 80" to 90" tall for this example) in your page layout program such as Adobe Indesign, Illustrator, Microsoft Publisher, or even Canva online. Unless your pull-up banner is for a specific event or function, we suggest keeping the text or copy generic enough that you can use the pop-up banner for many different occasions, such as trade shows, product launches, and open houses. Remember to make the text large enough to read at a distance, so limit the amount of copy. The text should be distinctive enough that when blended with your logo and brand colors, an existing customer would recognize your brand. Another item to consider when creating your artwork is that often the pull-up banner is situated behind a trade show table, so be careful of what information or copy you place "below the fold" or middle section as it may not be easily seen or covered with the table in certain conditions.
Once you have set up your pull-up or pop-up banner page layout, export it to a high-resolution print ready PDF file at 100% size and you are ready for print. If your layout software has page size limitations, create your page size at 50% (for the example below, you would then create a page 18" wide x 40" tall) and we can enlarge your PDF file to the final print size during the final print production.
As far as pictures and graphics, make them at least 200 dpi when viewed at 100% size. When you are designing your pop-up banner, remember that most are viewed from a distance of at least 6 to 10 feet away, so larger graphics and images will serve you better. Leave the small or fine print to other printed collateral. Remember, less is more when designing an effective pop-up or pull up banner.
