What affects the price?
- Size. Banners are priced by square footage. A 4x8 (32 sq ft) is roughly 4x the cost of a 2x4 (8 sq ft).
- Material. 13oz glossy vinyl is the workhorse. 13oz matte kills glare. 8oz polyester mesh lets wind pass through — required for fence and high-rise installs.
- Hems and grommets. Welded hems on all four sides and grommets every 2 ft on the long edge are standard. Add pole pockets or rope as configurable options.
- Sides. Single-sided is standard. Double-sided requires a blockout liner and costs roughly double.
- Turnaround. 7 business days standard. Rush available on most SKUs.
- Design help. Print-ready PDF upload is free. Design services available at /design-services.
How LICP banner pricing compares
Our banners print on commercial-grade equipment to the same standard you'll find anywhere online. The LICP edge isn't price-undercutting — it's local pickup in Huntington (huge for last-minute event banners), live pricing instead of a quote form, and a designer you can reach if your file is the wrong size or DPI.

FAQs
Why does my quote change with size?
Vinyl banner pricing is square-foot based. Doubling the size roughly doubles the material and ink. Live pricing on the product page updates as you change dimensions.
Are grommets and hems included?
Yes. Standard banners ship with welded hems on all four sides and grommets every 2 feet on the long edge. Add pole pockets or extra grommets as configurable options at checkout.
Glossy vs matte vinyl — which should I pick?
Glossy 13oz is the workhorse — vivid color, slight sheen, great for short-term outdoor. Matte 13oz kills glare under bright sun or stage lights, ideal for photo backdrops and trade-show walls. Same price.
Is shipping included?
No. Banners are rolled and shipped in tubes; cost depends on size and destination. Long Island customers can pick up in Huntington for free.
How long until I get my banner?
Most banners ship within 7 business days of proof approval. Rush options are available on most SKUs.
