Increase Your Business With Cheap Vinyl Banners

The weather is rapidly changing in Las Vegas. I can always tell when the weather changes because the girls wear less clothes and it is not so windy. Summertime also brings out banners that businesses advertise on. The businesses mount these cheap vinyl banners to their buildings, fences, and poles.  The reason they do this now is because the windy season is about to be over and Las Vegas banners are a great way to advertise.  In the windy season, the cheap vinyl banner signs are like big kites that are held down with string. Something gives.

Cheap Vinyl Banners Are Inexpensive But Not Cheap in Quality

When I write about cheap vinyl banner signs, I do not mean quality.  I mean cheap price.  The banners are a great way to advertise your business or special event. They come in all sorts of different sizes and shapes and are printed with large format printers that use latex or eco solvent inks that are very environmentally friendly. Most businesses use a 3ft x 8ft banner as that seems to be the most common vinyl banner size. Other common banner sizes include a 2ft x 4ft and a 3ft x 5 ft banner.

In Las Vegas, you can get a 3ft x 8ft vinyl banner for under $80.00. That is what I call cheap vinyl banners.  The vinyl banner can last for many months in Las Vegas and it is a very popular way to advertise. Many businesses rotate their display banners in sequence to get a fresh look. Banner storage is a very simple thing to do and you can use your banner over and over again. Simple storage measures and cleanliness are essential for a vinyl banner lasting many months/years.

If you are or your business is in need of  cheap vinyl banner signs, look no further than the local sign shops in your Las Vegas community. The sign industry in Las Vegas is very large due to the trade shows and conventions.

Commercial Banners For Your Business.

Leave a comment

Commercial banners will increase sales for your business.  Or allow you to let Customers know of an upcoming event. Las Vegas banners are very inexpensive and are great way to increase sales.

How Are Commercial Banners Made ?

Commercial vinyl banners can be made out of a variety of materials.  Las Vegas banners can be made out of mesh vinyl or vinyl banner material.  So the most common banner material is the 13 ounce banner material.  The 13 ounce banner material is the standard of the industry because of its wear factor.  There are several other vinyl banner materials that consist of different weight.  But 13 ounce is the most common. The heavier the banner material the more durable it is said to have.  So a 20 ounce banner material has a far greater longer life than a 10 ounce banner material.

A mesh banner is more likely to last longer than a comparable weight vinyl banner material because it has slits in it that allows for wind to pass through the banner.  A solid banner material has to deflect the wind or it flies away like a kite and tears the grommets that anchor it down.

Businesses use banners many times to deliver a marketing message to their customers and potential customers. Commercial banners are usually attached by the business owner to a fence or to the business building.  The higher the elevation of the commercial banner mounting allows  for more people to have the opportunity to see the banner.

Many businesses use commercial banners to also notify customers of a grand opening or a change of ownership.  So these large banners can be seen more easily by people and stores use them to get a message across.

The cost of banners is not very expensive.  So a 3 foot by 8 foot banner in full color in Las Vegas can be found for less than $80.00.  So larger banners can be custom made for around $3.00 a square foot.

Cheap banners have become more of a viable option in spreading information about their business. There is no doubt that hanging banners on your building or surrounding area increase business.

Discount Banners Are Available in Las Vegas

Several online sign companies are making are making less than a half dozen banner options and selling them at a discount.  They do this because they are setting up their manufacturing and printing process for certain colors and styles.  And then specialize in them for product efficiency.  I have seen ” grand opening banners”  in 3 colors selling for less than it would cost to produce at a local sign company in Las Vegas. These  companies are located near manufacturing plants and take advantage of seconds and damaged materials to profit maximize. Also, they offer discounts to customers who order in bulk.

The problem with these discount banners is that the shipping and handling fee usually negate any cost advantage.  For example, if you are purchasing a vinyl banner from a sign facility in New York, the cost of shipping and handling a banner to Las Vegas, Nevada would be about $15.00 The discount banners are really not saving the consumer much money ( if at all ).

Las Vegas is the sign capital of the world because of all the trade shows and conventions. Discount banner printing is available here in Las  Vegas with state of the art large format printers.  These large format printers are using the latest ecologically friendly inks that print bright and vivid colors to help attract and retain customers.

If you are looking for discount banners or discount banner printing to increase your business potential in Las Vegas. You should look no further than the local sign shops.

Las Vegas Next Day DOT Number Signs

Las Vegas next day number signs can get your Department of Transportation ( DOT ) numbers in a hurry. There are times when the trucks need to roll and same day DOT numbers or next day DOT number signs are needed. Without the numbers, you are likely to be pulled over and cited for non compliance. A truck not moving freight is a truck not making money.

What size DOT numbers are needed ?

The Department of Transportation wants the DOT numbers to be readable at 50 feet away. This equates to a 2″ tall letter. Furthermore, the letters need to be in a font that is easily readable. Many times a trucker will want to do specialized text font. And find themselves in non compliance with the Dept. of Transportation and have themselves cited. Arial or Helvetica font seems to be the wise choice for the font.

The color of the DOT numbers also is important and should be in contrast to the color of the truck. For example, if you have a white truck, do not use white letters. Because at 50feet away you cannot read the lettering. You may be cited for non compliance. So if you have a truck with a dark color, use light colored lettering that is easily readable and vice versa for light colored trucks. So Las Vegas next day DOT number signs can be made with white lettering or dark lettering to match your needs. The lettering can also be printed on one sticker and then applied to your truck as well.

DOT numbers are easy to apply for the self installers

Las Vegas next day DOT numbers can be self installed to save money. There are many videos on the internet that will show how to install the letters. If you are not sure if you can install them yourself. A sign professional can install them for you. Normally, the truck lettering is placed on the fire extinguisher doors on the cab of the truck or on the front doors.

Same Day DOT Stickers in Las Vegas

Same day DOT stickers in Las Vegas are available at sign shops like Posterhead Signs. The Department of Transportation requires certain vehicle lettering on trucks / cars that are used for transportation purposes.

Same Day Truck Department of Transportation Stickers.

The Department of Transportation requires that your DOT lettering be readable at 50 feet away. This equates to 2″ lettering that can be done in any color, so long as it is readable. You should not have black lettering on a black truck as it would be difficult to read and distinguish the lettering apart from the truck. Most people that need Las Vegas DOT stickers will use contrasting colors to make them readable. For example, if your truck is black, they will use white lettering. Also, the text of the lettering needs to be readable. So using some thin font or script font will not pass the mustard and you will most likely find yourself in trouble at a truck stop.

Most trucks will use lettering for their company name, MC#, DOT #, GVW number ( Gross Vehicle Weight ), etc. The lettering will be 2″ tall and maybe slightly larger for the company name so that you can easily distinguish it from the other lettering. The Department of Transportation lettering can be made with plotted vinyl ( individual letters ) or printed on a sticker and then applied to the truck. Normally on big rigs, the DOT lettering is placed on the front doors or on the fire extinguisher door. The normal lettering takes up about 15″ tall x 20″ wide.

Same Day DOT stickers can be self installed or installed by a sign professional. Many truckers prefer to do it themselves to save money as it is not hard to do. There are many You Tube videos for instructions on how to install DOT numbers.
