Banner "Freies Format"

Frequently asked questions

• Which banner is the right choice for my project?
  Choosing the right banner depends primarily on how and where it will be used. Different applications require different materials, levels of durability, wind permeability, light-blocking properties and finishing options. That is why Flyerline offers a wide range of banner solutions for almost every application.
  
  For short-term advertising campaigns, temporary signage or club events, we recommend Budget PVC Banners. They provide excellent value for money and are ideal for temporary use.
  
  If you are looking for a versatile banner for indoor or outdoor applications, Classic PVC Banners are the ideal choice. They are suitable for façade advertising, sponsorship banners, event branding and many other professional applications.
  
  For large-format banners exposed to wind, we recommend Mesh Banners. Their open mesh structure reduces wind load and makes them ideal for façades, scaffolding, construction fences and other large advertising surfaces.
  
  If light must not pass through the material, Blockout Banners are the perfect solution. Their black backing prevents show-through and ensures maximum visibility of the printed graphics.
  
  If you need advertising messages on one or both sides, we recommend Double-Sided Blockout Banners. The black core prevents graphics from showing through and allows different designs to be printed on each side.
  
  For standard applications, Flyerline also offers Construction Fence Banners and Barrier Banners, specifically designed for these purposes.
  
  If you are unsure which banner is the best choice for your project, our customer service team will be happy to help you select the most suitable solution.
• Which banner material is the best choice for my project?
  Choosing the right banner material mainly depends on where, how long and under which conditions your banner will be used. Different materials vary in terms of price, durability, wind resistance, light-blocking properties, fire certification and finishing options.
  
  For short-term advertising campaigns, club events or temporary signage, we recommend Budget PVC Banners. If your banner is intended for longer-term use or needs to withstand higher levels of wear and tear, Classic PVC Banners are an excellent choice.
  
  For large-format advertising in windy locations, such as building façades or scaffolding, Mesh Banners are the ideal solution. Their open mesh structure reduces wind load while maintaining excellent visibility.
  
  If light must not pass through the material, for example in shop windows, roll-up displays or suspended installations, we recommend Blockout Banners. For advertising messages printed on one or both sides, Double-Sided Blockout Banners with a black opaque core provide the best solution.
  
  Besides the material itself, factors such as size, mounting method, finishing options and expected service life should also be considered. If you are unsure which banner material is best suited to your project, our customer service team will be happy to help you choose the right solution.
• Are banners suitable for outdoor use?
  Yes. Most banners offered by Flyerline are specifically designed for outdoor use. However, the most suitable material depends on the expected service life, the installation location and environmental conditions such as wind, rain and direct sunlight.
  
  For short-term advertising campaigns, events or temporary signage, we recommend Budget PVC Banners. Their water-resistant PVC material makes them ideal for temporary outdoor applications.
  
  If your banner is intended for long-term outdoor use, Classic PVC Banners are the best choice. Their durable PVC material is ideal for façade advertising, sponsorship banners, construction sites and permanent outdoor displays.
  
  For wind-exposed locations, such as scaffolding or large building façades, we recommend Mesh Banners. Their open mesh structure significantly reduces wind load while maintaining excellent visibility.
  
  Where light must not pass through the material, Blockout Banners and Double-Sided Blockout Banners provide the ideal solution thanks to their opaque construction.
  
  If you are unsure which banner material is best suited for your outdoor advertising project, our customer service team will be happy to help you choose the right solution.
• Do banners have a fire safety certification?
  Not all banners have the same fire safety certification. The appropriate material depends on the intended application as well as the fire safety requirements for public buildings, exhibition halls, shopping centres, event venues and other public spaces.
  
  Flyerline offers both non-fire-rated banner materials and B1-certified banner solutions. Cost-effective materials are ideal for temporary advertising and many outdoor applications, while B1-certified materials are recommended for numerous indoor installations and locations where fire safety regulations apply.
  
  Depending on the product, Classic PVC Banners, Mesh Banners and our various Blockout Banner solutions are available with B1 fire certification. The applicable fire classification is listed in the technical specifications of each individual product.
  
  If your banner will be installed in an exhibition hall, shopping centre, public building or event venue and you are unsure which fire safety requirements apply, our customer service team will be happy to help you choose the most suitable material for your project.
• What banner sizes can I order?
  At Flyerline, all banners are produced to your exact dimensions. In our online shop, you can simply enter your required width and height and receive an instant price calculation.
  
  The maximum available size depends on the selected banner material and is shown on each individual product page. Thanks to our custom production, our banners are suitable for everything from small advertising signs to large façade banners, scaffold banners, construction fence banners and other XXL advertising applications.
  
  If your required size cannot be configured directly in the online shop, our team will be happy to help. Many banner materials can also be produced in significantly larger sizes or professionally manufactured from multiple joined sections.
  
  We also offer custom sizes, large-scale projects, bulk orders and tailored solutions for resellers, agencies, sign makers, exhibition builders and corporate customers through our customer service team.
• Are the banners water-resistant and weatherproof?
  Yes. Most Flyerline banners are manufactured from water-resistant materials and are specifically designed for outdoor use. Rain, moisture and normal weather conditions generally do not affect the print quality or the material itself.
  
  The most suitable banner material depends on the intended service life, the installation location and environmental influences such as wind, sunlight and mechanical stress. Cost-effective PVC materials are ideal for temporary applications, while more durable banner materials are recommended for long-term installations or demanding environments. Mesh banners are the preferred choice for windy locations, whereas Blockout banners provide additional protection against light show-through.
  
  Choosing the right finishing option is equally important. Depending on the product, various mounting options such as eyelets or hemming are available to ensure secure installation.
  
  If you are unsure which banner material is best suited to your project, our customer service team will be happy to help you choose the right solution.
• What finishing options are available for banners?
  Depending on the product, different finishing options are available to ensure that your banner is perfectly prepared for its intended application.
  
  Currently, the following finishing options are available, depending on the selected product:
  
  * Cut to size
  * Hemming with eyelets in the corners
  * Hemming with eyelets every 50 cm
  * Hemming with eyelets every 20 cm
  
  The most suitable finishing option depends on how and where your banner will be installed. For smaller banners, eyelets in the corners are often sufficient, while larger banners usually benefit from additional eyelets to ensure better load distribution and more secure mounting.
  
  Our product range is continuously being expanded and additional finishing options will be introduced step by step. If you require a finishing option that is not currently available in the online shop, our customer service team will be happy to assist you with a customised solution.
• How quickly are banners produced and delivered?
  Production and delivery times depend on the selected product, quantity and finishing options. During the online configuration process, you will see the estimated delivery date before completing your order.
  
  Many banners can be produced and delivered within just a few working days. Larger formats, special finishing options or customised projects may require additional production time.
  
  If you have a fixed deadline or require express production, our customer service team will be happy to help you find the best solution and check the available production options.
• Can I order custom sizes or special formats that are not available in the online shop?
  Yes. Our online shop already offers a wide range of customisable banner sizes. Depending on the product, you can enter your required width and height directly online and order your banner exactly to your specifications.
  
  If your required size cannot be configured in the online shop, it may still be possible to produce it. Depending on the selected material, significantly larger formats, custom sizes and special production options are available.
  
  We also support large-volume orders, multi-site rollouts, exhibition projects, as well as customised solutions for resellers, agencies, sign makers and corporate customers.
  
  If your required size or configuration is not available online, our customer service team will be happy to prepare a tailored quotation and help you find the best solution for your project.
• Are the banners recyclable?
  Yes. Many of the banner materials used by Flyerline are recyclable. However, the recycling process depends on the construction and composition of the selected material.
  
  Some banner materials consist of a single material and can therefore be recycled more easily after use. Others are made from multiple layers or combined materials, making the recycling process more complex.
  
  Information about the recyclability of each material is provided on the respective product page, helping you choose the most suitable solution for your project.
  
  Flyerline continuously works to expand its range of more sustainable materials and environmentally responsible solutions. If sustainability is an important factor for your project or you have questions about a specific material, our customer service team will be happy to assist you.
• How do I install a banner correctly?
  Correct installation ensures that your banner is securely mounted and remains stable even in windy or challenging weather conditions. The most suitable mounting method depends on the installation location, banner size and selected finishing option.
  
  For most applications, we recommend hemming with eyelets. Depending on the product, you can choose eyelets in the corners or eyelets spaced every 20 cm or 50 cm to ensure secure installation on façades, construction fences, scaffolding, fences and other structures.
  
  For installation, we recommend using cable ties, which are available directly from our online shop. They provide a quick, simple and reliable way to mount banners, especially on construction fences, crowd barriers and wire fences.
  
  If you require a specific mounting solution or finishing option, our customer service team will be happy to help you find the most suitable solution.
• Can I also order products that are not included in the standard product range?
  Yes. Flyerline Schweiz AG is capable of providing you with nearly any conceivable printed product. We have one of the most extensive, state-of-the-art pools of printing and processing equipment in Switzerland. If you don’t see the product you want in our standard range, please use the contact form to send us your request. Our Sales team will be happy to prepare an attractive, customised quote.
• How quickly can Flyerline deliver?
  Delivery times vary depending on the specific product and print run. We always make every effort to produce and deliver your printed matter as quickly as possible. We generally need 2-5 working days, depending on the product. When you place your order, we offer a “Rush” option for most products that generally ensures you expedited production and a turnaround time of one working day. The actual time required for production and the expected shipping date can always be found in our shop, right by the configured print product.
• How should I deliver my print data?
  Ideally, we recommend that you send us a print file with a resolution of 300 dpi in CMYK colour mode (colour profile: PSO Coated, V3) and a bleed of 3 mm. The data formats that work best are .pdfx1, .pdfx3 and .pdfx4 as well as .tiff and .jpg for picture files. For detailed information, please refer to our “Data Delivery Tips”. You will find this document and the corresponding product data sheet both in our Download Centre and by the product in question.
• What does 4/0 or 4/4 mean?
  4/0 colour means: printed in four colours on one side (full colour)
  4/4 colour means: printed in four colours on both sides (full colour)
• Can I also send Office files to Flyerline?
  Yes. But since Office files cannot be processed for professional printing, we first have to convert them into printable files. We charge a conversion fee of CHF 25 per file and page.
• What is CMYK?
  Cyan, magenta and yellow are the primary colours used for subtractive colour mixing. Black (K) is added because the primary colours are unable to produce a pure black. CMYK is the colour space required for printing. All masters are converted into CMYK files if they are not delivered in CMYK format.
• My file is in RGB mode. Will that work too?
  Yes. We convert the data into CMYK. This could result in slight variations in colour, especially in the case of extremely bright colours, since we do not know what colour was originally used and RGB documents look different on every screen. If you provide us with print data in RGB mode, we recommend selecting the “Proof” option.
• What is bleed?
  The bleed is the area of the print data that extends beyond the normal edge. Bleeds are necessary because printing machines work within a certain tolerance range and the paper can shift slightly during printing. Please create print files that have a 3 mm bleed on each edge.
