Posters & Banners

People are faced with so many posters that some ask whether it is still worth running them. Our answer is obviously yes — but they need to be good.

In short

Posters and flyers on the digital press, and flags and banners printed by direct dye sublimation so the ink goes through the fabric rather than sitting on it.

Flags are a great way to draw attention to a business or an event — a grand opening, a sale, an open house, or simply letting customers know you are open. All of our flags are printed using a direct dye sublimation process, which puts the ink through the fabric rather than on top of it, and that is what creates a vibrant, eye-popping print.

Depending on the project and the artwork we will advise on the best method for the job, whether the design is complex graphics, high-quality photography, or full-colour work with a lot of colours in it.

Process

How a project runs

Posters & Banners runs through the same five steps as everything else we make — with the same team at each one. See the full process

  1. 01

    Brief

    The goal, the audience and the deadline, agreed together.

  2. 02

    Design

    Concepts, layout and artwork, developed and refined with you.

  3. 03

    Proof

    Colour, stock and finish seen and approved before anything runs.

  4. 04

    Production

    Print, wrap, embroidery or fabrication — whichever the approved job needs.

  5. 05

    Install

    Fitted, mounted or delivered, depending on what was made.

Good to know

Posters & Banners — questions we are asked

What is dye sublimation printing on flags?

Dye sublimation puts the ink through the fabric instead of leaving it on top. The result is a vivid print that shows through to the back of the flag and does not crack or peel. All our flags are printed this way.

What resolution should a banner or poster file be?

It depends on how far away it will be read. Anything held in the hand needs 300 dpi at full size, but a banner read from across a street needs far less, and a 300 dpi file of a three-metre flag is uselessly large. Tell us the size and where it will hang, and we will tell you what the file needs.

What do I need to send to print a banner or flag?

The finished size, whether it is for indoors or outdoors, the quantity, and the artwork as a PDF with bleed. If the design is not ready, send the text, the logo and any photographs, and we can design it.

Do you print flyers and leaflets in Malta?

Yes. We design and print posters, flyers and leaflets, which are still one of the offline marketing methods that work.

Why do printed colours look different from my screen?

Screens make colour with light (RGB) and print makes it with ink (CMYK). Very bright screen colours, such as a fluorescent green or an electric blue, cannot be printed exactly and come out duller. If a brand colour has to be exact, specify it as a spot colour.
