- How do you get the banner to stand up?

- How can I design an effective retractable banner?
- There are several key ways to make sure your banner is clear, legible and effective:
Use large fonts and images so people can see your banner from a distance.
Contrast your background and text colors to ensure clear readability.
Focus on one main message that people can quickly understand.
Keep your safety margins in mind as you design. (See below for details on these important measurements.)

- What file formats do you accept?
- Retractable Banners On The Cheap can accept JPG, JPEG, TIF, TIFF, BMP, PNG, and PDF files that are 20MB and under.

If you must send a file format not accepted online or a file larger than 20MB, please call us for assistance and instructions.
- What does ?Safety Line? and ?Bleed Line? mean on the templates I?m designing?
The dotted line signifies our Safety Zone. Anything outside of that dotted line could potentially get cut off during our printing and finishing process. Because of this, ensure that all important text, images, and artwork are inside the safety line!?
The bleed line indicates how far background elements should extend so that there is no empty white space visible when the banner is assembled. Make sure your background colors or images extend to the edge of the template artboard for best results.?If you have questions regarding file setup and specifications, please chat with our Customer Love Team by clicking on the ?Chat Now? button at the top of the site, or call us at 1-855-602-6231.
