- Kickstart a cheerful homecoming process for your loved ones.
- Use colorful and sophisticated artwork to impress your visitors.
- Let the neighbors know about the special occasion.
If your banners are made of durable materials like vinyl or polyester, you can reuse them in the future. However, most people don’t know how to create, use, or store their welcome banners. Don’t worry – here’s the complete 7-step guide to using custom-printed welcome banners –
- Find the Right Buyer
Find experienced banner sellers who know what they’re doing. The best banner sellers use the latest printers and the best materials to create good-looking and long-lasting welcome banners. Also, make sure that your sellers allow you to customize the banners. You should be allowed to choose what colors, designs, and messages go on your welcome banners.
- Select the Right Banner
As stated above, vinyl and polyester banners are by far the most durable banner materials. These synthetic and weather-resistant materials are very print-friendly. Top banner sellers use dye-sublimation printing to print finely detailed graphics on these banners. Plus, polyester and vinyl banners don’t fade easily.
- Compose Your Banner’s Design
There are many welcome banner design templates on the Internet. You can be inspired by existing, pre-designed templates. You can also ask your sellers for banner design assistance. Either way – your banner’s design should suit the occasion. It should also compliment the recipient’s tastes.
The messages on your welcome banners must express your true feelings and emotions towards the recipient/s. Keep these messages short. But, make sure they’re memorable. You can also add family photos to the banners. Photos always make welcome banners feel extra-special.
- Finalize the Design and Order
Once the overall design of your banner looks good to go, order it. Typically, banner sellers take 7 to 10 days to send the final order. Receive your banner. Set it up wherever you want – it can be indoors or outdoors. Use other decorations to make the banner look even better. On the day of your loved one’s arrival, the banner and the rest of the decorations should be installed.
- Uninstalling the Banners
Once the welcome is complete, roll up your welcome banner. Avoid folding them to prevent creases or wrinkles from forming.
- Storing the Banners
Most banner materials are flammable, even polyester. So, always store your welcome banners in dark, dry, and heat-free locations.
- Cleaning the Banners
Vinyl and polyester banners respond well to cleaning. Use a cloth and soap water to regularly wash your welcome banners. Dry them after each washing session.
