I am new to this forum this being my first post.
I have a small skateboard company out of Celebration, Florida and need help getting banners for my company. Most of the shops that have picked me up have asked me for banners to hang in their stores; but the cheapest I can find is like 40 dollars a banner, and I need like 25. Out of our price range at this point. I need the banners to look professional and be indoor and maybe 3 or so to be outdoor for outdoor skateparks that have asked. They would be 4 to 5 color graphics and I need them in the 8 to 12 dollar range. Does anybody have any suggestions..... is this even possible? |

Welcome to the forum... 
The best bet is to post a similiar post in the Screenprinting section or Skateboard Art section. I'd say Wanted also, but people might give you a little hassle for posting the same post in 4 different sections. Def. put it in the Screenprinting section though, I'd love to find out the results myself...
Edit = I did a Google search for "banners silkscreen" and a shitload of stuff came up, maybe that's a option. I found alot of stores doing banners up to 36" by 36" and higher... |

| I work at a wide format printer manufacturer and I might be able to help out. If you have the artwork ready to print, I can probably print some stuff up for you. PM me and we can go from there. I cant print 100 banners, but a couple here and there is cool. |

How big are you looking for? 8 to 12 dollar range is not too parctical for anything of quality. I get a wholsale price for quality vinyl banners at about $4-$5 a sq ft. So a 4' X 8' banner is going to run about $120.
This is digital printed which, I would imaging, is cheaper than silk-screen.
There's probably cheaper materials you could go for. Actually I might be able to do something as long as it's not going to be outside for too long. |

| You could always try a homemade stencil, some canvas, and a box of grommets. |

i suppose you could silkscreen the indoor banner's for pretty cheap, around $25, but you'd be lucky to find vinyl banners at that cost. Especially 4-5 color.
A WHILE BACK I GOT SOME OFF EBAY FOR ABOUT $45 WITH SHIPPING, 2-COLOR FOR A 2'X8'.
SO GO ON EBAY AND DO A BUNCH OF SEARCHES UNTILL YOU FIND IT. KEYWORDS LIKE; custom vinyl banner, vinyl banner, custom banner, etc etc. |

I found some for cheap through one of my stores that carries my boards, and I just gave them free boards for a couple of banners.
Thanks everybody. |

Lower your color output requirement. If your a small potoes company you need to be realistic, although your logo or whatever may be nice in 4 colors you may want to reduce it to 2 colors and use halftones. You already have a free color by using the banners natural color, whether it's white or black then with two printed colors you can half tone them together as well as halftone the each color with the natural background of the banner so realistically you can achive a nice mixture of colors and shading using that method. |
