SCAFFOLD BANNER HELP

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Find the artwork and finishing details you need before you order.

What are scaffold banners made from?

Standard orders use single-sided 440 gsm PVC. Upgrade to 740 gsm double-sided block-out PVC when both sides will be seen. For large exposed wraps, ask about mesh and check the mounting requirements with your scaffold contractor.

What sizes can I order?

Standard finished sizes are 1 × 1 m, 1 × 1.36 m, 0.8 × 2 m, 1 × 2 m and 1 × 3 m. Select larger sizes in the artwork studio or enter bespoke dimensions. We confirm material, finishing, seams and delivery feasibility on the quote.

How do I measure for pole pockets?

Measure the intended finished banner width and height and give us the pole diameter and the edges that need pockets. The pockets sit inside the finished dimensions. For a 60 mm pole, keep 180 mm of background-only artwork inside each pocket edge.

How much of a 1 × 3 m banner will be visible?

With standard 60 mm pole pockets on the top and bottom, the visible face is 1,000 × 2,640 mm. Your overall artwork still needs to include the two pocket zones plus the required bleed.

What clearance do hems and eyelets need?

Keep lettering and logos at least 60 mm inside every finished edge. Continue background colour or artwork into this border. Tell us if you need eyelets only at corners or at specific points.

How much bleed should I include?

Double-sided block-out PVC requires at least 10 mm outside each finished edge. For standard PVC the general starting point is 5 mm. Use the exact material and product template for fabrics, bespoke finishes and other materials.

Can I put a different design on each side?

Yes, select different artwork for each side and label your front and reverse files. If you want us to create two distinct designs, we charge £35 + VAT for each design.

Can I use a phone screenshot or a JPG?

A print-ready CMYK PDF is preferred. The checker also accepts PNG and JPG, up to 20 MB each. A screenshot may be too small or compressed at full banner size. The checker estimates effective resolution for raster files.

What does the AI artwork checker check?

It checks dimensions or image resolution and uses text recognition to flag lettering that may enter a finishing zone. Use the overlay to check your layout. We manually review every supplied file before releasing an approved order for production.

Will you send me a proof?

Yes. We send a proof for approval before the order goes into production. Check your wording, contact details, layout, dimensions and selected finish when approving it.

Can you design my scaffold banner?

Yes. Design costs £35 + VAT for one design and includes a PDF proof. After confirming the order we email you to ask for your logo, wording, contact details, brand colours and any examples you like.

What does delivery cost and how long does it take?

Business delivery starts at £12.50 + VAT per order. Enter your postcode and address type in the basket for the delivery charge, including any remote or residential surcharge. Orders of 30 m² or more, and some oversized or unusual destinations, need a quote. Allow 4–5 working days after proof approval.

Can I collect my order?

Yes. Choose free collection from our workshop at 26 Babbage Road, Engineer Park, Sandycroft, Flintshire, CH5 2QD. We will email you when your order is ready. Please wait for that email before travelling.

Is PVC or mesh better for my job?

Solid PVC provides a continuous print surface. Mesh allows some air to pass through. Send us the location, dimensions and fixing details, and have the person responsible for the scaffold confirm what can be fitted safely.

Do you fit or install the banners?

This shop supplies printed banners. Arrange installation with the person responsible for your scaffold. Share the proposed finish, size and site conditions with them before ordering.

Can I order the same design for multiple jobs?

Yes. Choose the quantity in the shop. For repeat orders or multiple delivery addresses, email your previous order details and the current quantity, sizes and destinations.

How do I contact customer service?
