How to prepare a PVC Vinyl Banner
PVC Vinyl Banners require
preparation before any signage application.
-a) Always clean a PVC Vinyl Banner using a suitable pre-wash solution
such as 'Prep wash' or 'Sol Wash' to remove any manufacturing residue
during the plastic application stages of mill processing.
-b) Do not use an aggressive solvent that may penetrate the polymers of
the banner and create post migration or leaching of polymers.
-c) Once Prep Wash is applied, immediately clean by rubbing until dry.
-d) Final preparation by cleaning banner with water (cold)
Layout of a Banner
Outdoor banners are
effectively designed for very quick readership and impact.
Consider these points when
deciding your sign wording.
- Importance
of Message
Primary Message
Secondary Texts or images
Tertiary Texts or images such as times, locations etc.
- The decision of P, S, or
T depends upon locations, readership
distances and color
schemes.
- Secret TIP:
Complete a 'thumbnail' sketch on paper. Choose the P, S, or T before
going further with color or other values.
-
Note:
IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW QUICK, ROUGH OR INCORRECTLY PROPORTIONAL
YOUR THUMBNAIL SKETCH IS... IMPORTANTLY... YOU WILL ACHIEVE - PRIMARY
- SECONDARY AND TERTIARY VALUES
The first lesson we teach any new employee is PST
- Consider the location
of your signs or banners
- Remembering, if the
banner or sign is fixed on a major road with potentially high volume
traffic, passing vehicles will require 1.5
to 3 seconds to
view the information contained and retain your message for use. This
situation would require a banner that conveys the exact message e.g..
1. What they have (Signs),
2. What is the message (50%
OFF) and 3. Where
to find results (9543

- Consider Letter
style or fonts. E.g..
A script letter style or font would be appropriate for a Dance Studio
but may not suit an Automotive Repair Workshop.
- Once you have compiled
your thumbnail sketch, and refined any importance details (P,S,T)
stand back and view the clarity
of your message. If you are satisfied with the sketch, move on
forwards to creating a "Layout"

 Choice
of Color
Often customers already have a color choice in mind and sometimes require
no help at all to select colors. If your banners are clear to read by all
OK, it is recommended to rely on skill and professional sign makers. Good
color choice is essential. Never place foreground text on a background
that is so overpowering that the information is lost. Some examples of
color combinations here are ground rules to follow.
