I recently ordered a banner for an event, and was so pleased with the whole experience. The print and materials feel high quality and look really professional in person. The customer service and communication was great.

The turnaround time and delivery was really quick which took a lot of stress out of the lead-up to the event. The price was also very reasonable for the quality of work. I’d definitely use them again.

Let’s face it: seeing a skip full of heavy vinyl banners after an event feels pretty terrible. You want your brand to stand out, but you shouldn’t have to fill landfills to do it. That’s why we’ve overhauled our signage options with eco friendly banner printing that doesn’t force you to compromise.

Whether you’re organizing a rainy outdoor festival or a high-end trade show, you can now get that same crisp, vibrant print quality you expect, just without the toxic PVC hangover. Our banners are tough, weather-resistant, and printed using odorless, non-toxic latex inks. But the real game-changer happens when you’re finished. Instead of sitting in the ground for 500 years, our materials are fully recyclable or biodegradable. It’s finally time to make a massive impact on your audience, not the planet.

Eco-Friendly Banner Printing: 100% PVC-Free & Recyclable Signage

Make a big impact on your audience, not the planet. Our Eco-Friendly Banners offer the same vibrant print quality and durability as traditional vinyl, but without the toxic PVC. Choose between our Biodegradable (Natural Fiber) or 100% Recyclable (PET) options to align perfectly with your event’s sustainability goals.

Choose Your Eco-Material: Biodegradable vs. Recyclable

 

Option A: Biodegradable Canvas (Natural Fibers)

Best for: Short-term events, festivals, and brands prioritizing “plastic-free.”

• The Tech: Made from natural cotton/hemp fibers. Decomposes within 9-12 months in ideal compost conditions.

• Disposal: Industrial composting or general waste (breaks down safely).

Option B: Recyclable Polyester (PVC-Free PET)

Best for: Long-term outdoor use, building wraps, and durability.

• The Tech: A robust, lightweight polyester fabric that mimics the strength of vinyl.

• Disposal: 100% recyclable in standard textile recycling streams (Code 1 Plastics).

Why Ditch PVC? The Benefits of Going Green

Non-Toxic Latex Inks

• Explain that you use water-based HP Latex inks which are odorless, non-flammable, and release no VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), making them safe for indoor trade shows and schools.

Weatherproof & Durable

• Address the myth that “eco = weak.” Highlight that the PET option is B1 Fire Rated and wind-resistant.

Lightweight & Cheaper Shipping

• Eco materials are often lighter than heavy 500gsm vinyl, reducing shipping carbon footprints and costs.

Technical Specifications & Finishing

• Weight: 220gsm (Lightweight) to 300gsm (Heavy duty).

• Max Width: Up to 3.2m seamless (welded for larger sizes).

• Finishing: Hemmed and eyeleted using polycarbonate (recyclable) eyelets—avoid metal eyelets to keep the whole product recyclable!

End-of-Life: How to Recycle Your Banner

• Step 1: Check the label (Code 1 for PET).

• Step 2: Clean any heavy debris.

• Step 3: Place in the correct bin (Textile bank for PET, Compost/General for Bio).

File Format

File format must be either PNG or PDF.

Artwork Size & Ratio

Artwork must be sized to the banner size required or an equivalent ratio (e.g., 2:1). This is to limit any resizing of your banner, which could lead to stretching and pixelation.

Resolution

The ideal resolution of the artwork will be greater than 150dpi, but a lower resolution may be acceptable. We will double-check this for you before it goes to print.

Purchasing Multiple Items in One Order

If you are supplying multiple files for an order, please email us with a breakdown. This needs to include your order number and a description of which files are for which product. Where necessary, please specify quantities.

What are PVC-free banners, and how do they differ from traditional PVC banners?

PVC-free banners are made from environmentally friendly materials that do not contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Unlike traditional PVC banners, they are more sustainable, recyclable, and free from harmful chemicals, making them a greener choice for businesses and events.

Are PVC-free banners as durable as regular PVC banners?

Yes, PVC-free banners are designed to be durable and weather-resistant. They can withstand outdoor conditions, including rain and UV exposure, while still maintaining their quality. Some eco-friendly materials may have slightly different characteristics, but they are strong and long-lasting.

Can PVC-free banners be printed in full colour?

Absolutely! PVC-free banners support high-quality, full-colour printing with eco-friendly, water-based, or UV inks. The print quality is vibrant and sharp, making them a great option for advertising and branding.

Are PVC-free banners biodegradable or recyclable?

Many PVC-free banners are recyclable, and some materials are even biodegradable or compostable. However, the recyclability depends on the specific material used, so it’s best to check with your supplier for proper disposal options.

What are the best uses for PVC-free banners?

PVC-free banners are perfect for businesses and events looking to reduce their environmental impact. They are commonly used for retail displays, exhibitions, trade shows, outdoor advertising, and corporate branding, especially where sustainability is a priority.
