PVC banners, and what changes past three metres wide
Up to 3000 mm wide, a PVC banner is one piece of vinyl with its edges finished. A huge banner in standard PVC stays one piece up to 5000 mm but is folded to be delivered. Wider than that it is panels sewn together, and the join shows on the graphic. Settle which one it is before the artwork is laid out.
PVC banner printing in Singapore, in one paragraph
EZ Print prints PVC banners, also called vinyl or outdoor banners, in Singapore, and has done since 2017. A standard PVC banner runs from 297 mm to 3000 mm wide, in standard or premium PVC, blockout or mesh. Eyelets are advised at one per metre, with artwork 50 mm clear of them; pockets take a ¾-, 1- or 1.5-inch pole. A double-sided banner is two prints sewn back to back, or one blockout sheet printed on both faces. Oversize banners up to 30,000 mm wide are sewn from panels of up to 3000 mm, the join line shows, and they are folded for delivery. EZ Print quotes from the specification and does not publish prices.

Specifications, formats and enquiry details for each product quoted on this service.
Width first, because it decides the construction. Then the grade of vinyl, one face or two, and the fixing on each of the four edges — each of which is specified on its own.
A PVC banner is not drawn here at true size. A banner a few metres wide has no true-size view on a screen, and a reduced rectangle hides the two places a PVC banner actually goes wrong. The first is the edge, stated here as figures: eyelets advised at one per metre on every side, with artwork kept 50 mm clear of them. The second is the join on an oversize banner, and that is stated too: panels of up to 3000 mm, sewn together, with the sewing line visible across the graphic wherever a split falls.
3000mm
The maximum width of a standard PVC banner. A huge banner runs to 5000 mm in one piece, folded for delivery; past that, an oversize banner is built from panels of up to this width and sewn together.

The material
The vinyls, and which one the site needs
Every PVC banner is a coated vinyl, but the grades are built for different jobs: a standard face for general outdoor work, blockout where the back must not show the front, and mesh where wind matters. None is a sheet from the caliper table, so none carries a thickness or a weight figure here.
PVC banner vinyl, standard or premium
Also sold as vinyl banner, tarpaulin banner, flex banner, outdoor banner.
The default outdoor banner material, in a standard and a premium grade, printed on one face and finished at any edge with eyelets, pockets, a pole or rope.
Under ink
Full colour on one face. The grade is named on the quotation, so a reorder is like for like.
Best for
Fences, railings, shopfronts and roadside frontage up to 3000 mm wide in one piece, and oversize banners built from panels.
Avoid for
Two-sided viewing from one ordinary sheet. The print shows through to the back; order two prints sewn back to back, or blockout.
On the schedule
Printed, then finished edge by edge.
Blockout PVC banner
Also sold as black-back banner, double-sided banner, opaque vinyl banner.
Vinyl with a light-blocking black back, so one face does not show through to the other. It comes in a standard and a premium grade, and the premium grade is a single sheet printed on both faces.
Under ink
Printing both faces of one sheet needs a tolerance between the two sides, so a border drawn tight to the edge shows unevenly from one face to the other.
Best for
Banners read from both sides — across a road, between two posts, at an entrance — and banners on crowd barriers.
Avoid for
A tight border or frame in a double-sided design. And folding: blockout vinyl creases permanently.
On the schedule
Printed on one face or both, then finished edge by edge.
PVC mesh banner
Also sold as mesh banner, wind-through banner, scaffold banner.
A PVC banner with an open weave, so wind passes through it. It is offered as a standard banner and as oversize panels.
Under ink
Colour sits on the solid part of the weave and the open part is not printed, so the image is made to be read from a distance.
Best for
Scaffolding, building faces and long fence runs where a solid banner would load the fixings.
Avoid for
Fine text and close reading. And double-sided work: the weave is open, so there is no solid back to print.
On the schedule
Printed, then finished edge by edge.
Name the grade and say whether the banner is seen from one side or two. Those two facts settle the vinyl, and the width then settles whether it is one piece or panels.The materials library →
The advised eyelet count is a floor, not a pattern. One per metre suits a banner tied flat to a fence; a banner on a tall building or in strong wind is better with extra eyelets, rope or a nylon belt along the edge.
Four edges, each specified on its own
A PVC banner’s edges are not one decision. The top, the bottom, the left and the right are each finished separately — eyelets on one, a pocket on another, rope on a third — and the quotation lists them edge by edge, so the banner arrives matched to the frame or fence it is going on.

Scroll the table sideways to see every column.
Every operation here is quoted inside the standard window. What changes between a first order and a second is the tooling: a die, a block or a screen is made once and then kept on file with your approved artwork, which is why the reorder of a job carrying one is a different job from the first.
Nobody designing a twelve-metre banner on a laptop sees the seams. Everybody standing across the road from it does, so the split is chosen before the artwork rather than after it.
Pairings that work
+Blockout PVC across a road or between two posts. Each face reads cleanly without the other showing through.
+Split positions marked in the oversize file, falling between words or across plain background. The sewn join then lands where it does no harm.
+A nylon belt or rope along the top edge of a banner on a tall building. The load runs along the edge instead of through a few eyelets.
+Blockout PVC on a crowd barrier, sized between 1000 mm and 3000 mm wide and tied on through eyelets.
Combinations that fail
×A logo or a face across an oversize join. The sewing line runs straight through it.
×A thin border hugging the edge of a double-sided blockout banner. The two faces never sit at exactly the same distance from the edge, and the border shows it.
×Folding a blockout banner into a carton to save space. The fold stays in it.
×Text in the 50 mm band along an eyeletted edge. The eyelets go through it.
×Type smaller than 14 pt, about 5 mm, or a QR code smaller than 25 mm square. The first stops being legible and the second stops scanning.
Widths, from a barrier to a building
The width of a PVC banner decides how it is built. Five width bands cover the range, and each one changes what the file and the delivery look like.
Standard · 297–3000 mm wide
One piece, in any grade, with any edge finish.
Premium blockout · 297–1500 mm wide
One sheet printed on both faces.
Barrier banner · 1000–3000 mm wide
Blockout PVC, eyeletted to tie to a crowd barrier. The barrier and the ties are not part of the banner.
Huge · 3000–5000 mm wide
Standard PVC, folded for delivery because of its size.
Oversize · 3050–30,000 mm wide
Panels of up to 3000 mm, sewn, in standard PVC, blockout or mesh. Folded for delivery.
Frame wrap
A banner made to wrap round a frame is sized with the wrap allowance included.
Lay out the joins and the edges before the picture
A PVC banner file fails in predictable places: under an eyelet, across a seam, and along the edge of a double-sided sheet. All three are positions, and all three can be fixed on the artboard before a single colour is chosen.
The file
Format
PDF/X-4 at final size, CMYK, fonts outlined.
Oversize files
Built at 10% of final size at 300 dpi, with the scale stated in the file name.
Split positions
For a split at a chosen place, send a file marking it. Otherwise the banner is split into equal panels of up to 3000 mm.
Eyelet edge
50 mm clear of every edge that takes eyelets.
Pocket edge
Clear by the depth of the pocket chosen.
Bleed
10 mm all round, and required on a double-sided blockout print.
The colour, and the detail
Colour mode
CMYK. Name brand colours as Pantone references and check them on the grade of vinyl being used.
Minimum type
14 pt, about 5 mm, for anything read close up. Far larger for anything read across a road.
QR codes
Larger than 25 mm square, or a phone may not read it.
Double-sided border
Avoid a tight border or frame on a two-faced blockout print. The faces line up within a tolerance, not exactly.
Across a join
Keep faces, logos and lines of text away from the split positions.
Mesh
Bold shapes and large type. The open weave drops fine detail.
Send the width with the location and the artboard comes back with its construction — one piece or panels, where the splits fall, and which edges take what — so the design starts on the right grid.
Turnaround
The width decides the work
Standard
Standard turnaround is generally 7–14 working days.
Standard orders. The schedule for specialist finishing is confirmed in your quotation.
Express
Same-day and urgent printing available.
Subject to artwork approval, payment, print type and production availability. Timing confirmed per job.
What sets the date
The construction. A banner up to 3000 mm is printed and finished edge by edge; an oversize banner is split, printed in panels, sewn and folded; a double-sided banner is sewn from two prints or printed on both faces of blockout. Each of those constructions is quoted within the standard window.
What a reorder skips
The splits. Once the panel positions, the eyelet count and the edge finishes have been proved on the real fence or façade, the same file is printed to the same figures.
If the date is tight
Send the width, the grade, one face or two, and the finish on each edge, and ask for an express quotation. EZ Print confirms the specification, production schedule and next steps in the quotation.
An oversize banner leaves folded. Where it is going up on a façade, the fixing is planned with the site, separately from the print.

Questions asked about PVC banners
How wide can a PVC banner be?
Up to 3000 mm wide as a standard banner in one piece. Huge banners from 3000 mm to 5000 mm wide are made in standard PVC and folded for delivery, and oversize banners run up to 30,000 mm wide, built from panels of up to 3000 mm sewn together.
Will I see the join on a large PVC banner?
Yes. An oversize banner is split into panels of up to 3000 mm and sewn, and the sewing line shows on the graphic at each join. Send a file marking where the splits should fall, or the banner is split into equal panels — and keep faces, logos and text off the joins either way.
How do I get a double-sided PVC banner?
Two ways: two single-sided prints sewn back to back, or one blockout sheet printed on both faces. The one-sheet version needs 10 mm bleed all round and allows a tolerance between the faces, so avoid a tight border, which makes the difference visible.
How many eyelets should a PVC banner have?
The advised count is one eyelet per metre on every edge, all round. In wind or high up, add extra eyelets at a stated spacing, or run rope or a nylon belt along the edge to spread the load. Keep artwork 50 mm clear of any eyeletted edge.
Can a PVC banner be folded?
Very large banners are folded for delivery because of their size, so expect fold lines on a huge or oversize banner. Blockout vinyl creases permanently where it is folded, so a blockout banner that can be kept rolled should be.
What is a barrier banner?
A blockout PVC banner sized to a crowd-control barrier, from 1000 mm to 3000 mm wide and eyeletted so it can be tied on. The barrier and the cable ties are not part of the banner.
What is the minimum text size on a PVC banner?
14 pt, about 5 mm, for text read close up, and a QR code should be larger than 25 mm square. Text that has to be read from across a road needs to be many times larger than that.
Should I choose a PVC banner or a fabric banner?
PVC for outdoor work and for width: it runs to 3000 mm in one piece and far wider in sewn panels, with blockout for two-sided viewing and mesh for wind. Polyester cloth is the indoor material, up to 1500 mm wide, chosen for a softer look under lights.
