The usual fee for typesetting and layout for your exact size banner is $60.00; which covers 1hr of time. If there are additional fancy ideas, the fee may be more; depending on how complicated your banner design should be.

We will ensure there is enough space on the margins for grommets and hemming.

If you do not mind the pixelation or “blurriness”; you must sign off on our terms of service and “print-as-is”. We will happily print your logo, and final layout as is.
