Banners are everywhere, from billboards to store windows, and even online too. By acting as constant reminders of particular ideas, messages, or even products that we are exposed to, banners can remind us of past experiences or remind us to pay attention to upcoming promotions.&nbsp; But did you know that banner advertisements have a lasting powerful influence on a person's memory? Studies suggest that banners can increase brand recall, as well as boost the recognition of the product being advertised. This is due to how banners are designed to be eye-catching, memorable, and often incorporate elements of branding.&nbsp; Remember yourself recalling specific facts and messages associated with a certain product. Banners often include persuasive and informational messages that are designed to influence people's decisions. Accordingly, people are likely to remember the information presented in the ad, even if they don't click on it.&nbsp; <h2>The Power of a Call to Action: How vinyl banners can drive customers to your business&nbsp;</h2>Processing the idea mentioned above, we must admit the fact that banners are those strong visuals which if designed well, can grab our attention and live long in our memories. But besides staying with us for a long time, banners do push us to specific actions. For example buying certain products, donating certain funds or taking part in different events.&nbsp; Vinyl banners can create a call to action by including a clear and compelling message that encourages the viewer to take an action. The banner should include a strong visual element, such as an eye-catching image or graphic, to draw the viewer's attention. Additionally, using colors, contrast, and typography to create a sense of urgency can be effective in getting the viewer to take action. Vinyl banners are a great way to draw attention to your business. Whether it's for promotions, grand openings, or just highlighting your company's services. Vinyl banner printing is beneficial because it reaches a wide audience. Depending on where you place banners, you can target different age groups, genders, and interests. You can also place banners on busy streets, in public parks, and any other high-traffic area.&nbsp; What’s more important, they are affordable and unlike other marketing methods, vinyl banners are relatively inexpensive and can serve for a long time. Plus, with their durability, you don't have to worry about replacing or repairing them every few months.&nbsp; <h2>Banner Options to Send your Message</h2>Speaking of banners it’s worth spotting other popular types of banners, which you probably noticed at least once in your lifetime but never knew the advantages. And so, blockout banners come first! Blockout banners are definitely a good choice for product promotion. They are opaque and can be printed on both sides. This means you can view them from both directions. Blockout banners can be especially useful in high-traffic areas where the people can notice them from different angles. The main material is a heavy-duty vinyl, which makes them durable and resistant to fading and tearing. This ensures that your product promotion message will stay visible for a very long time. The material also prevents light from passing through, making it suitable for backlit situations. Next is Mesh banner. This is a type of banner that is made from a perforated material and allows wind to pass through. The perforations, or holes, are typically small and are throughout the banner, making it more resistant to wind damage. And this is the main difference compared with the traditional vinyl banners. Mesh banners are perfect for a variety of purposes, such as construction site signs, event signage, and outdoor advertising. In contrast, it's worth noting that mesh banners may not be as visible as traditional banners in certain situations, such as in low-light conditions or from a distance, because of the perforations in the material. Last, but not least, fabric banners. Made from a lightweight and wrinkle-resistant material, fabric banners are often used for indoor trade shows, events, and retail displays.&nbsp; Because of their aesthetic appeal and durability, fabric banners have gained much popularity. The bright colors and bold designs can have a powerful impact that will make people remember your company. Fabric banners are also easy to handle, and can be folded or rolled without creasing or wrinkling. <h2>Designing the perfect vinyl banner: Tips and&nbsp; Tricks with AxiomPrint</h2>At AxiomPrint, we understand the importance of making a lasting impression.

Vinyl Banners: The Durable and Effective Way to Advertise Your Business

Print Ready

Most people think printing is easy. Just a Click of a Button, and the perfect print is ready! Right?
And honestly, they’re not wrong to think that. With today’s advanced printers, software, and workflows, it feels like print should be instant. But here’s the big BUT: It’s everything before the press that takes real time and effort. It’s the behind-the-scenes process that makes all the difference between a quality print and a rejected order. At AxiomPrint, our internal stats tell a surprising story:
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The average print job takes more time in pre-press than it does in production.
 That’s not a one-off. That’s the reality. We have measured collaborative minutes on banners and it’s about 47 min on average pre production (Phone/Email Communication, Artwork setup and prepress layout). In production banners take about 35 min to complete (20 min to print, 15 min to finish and pack). For standard <a href="https://axiomprint.com/product/classic-business-cards-160" target="_blank">business cards</a> it’s about 38 min on average pre-production. It takes only 22 min to finish (print, cut, box)
 Even with reorders the process is not too much different. Now we have to be extra careful to make sure all the details are matching the original order, and consistency is super important. (We have learned the hard way)
 So what actually happens before the ink hits the paper?
 

<h2>1. Choosing the Right Product</h2>
Printing isn’t just about putting ink on material—it’s about solving the client’s need with the right solution. That means understanding: 
<ul>
 <li>What is the product being used for?</li>
 <li>How soon is it needed?</li>
 <li>What’s the intended impact?</li>
</ul> 

Take this common example:
A client is on the<a href="https://axiomprint.com/product/roll-labels-335" target="_blank"> roll labels</a> page — but they’re using them as giveaways at an event. We know roll labels aren’t ideal for that use case, and it’s our job to guide them to something more appropriate, like individually cut stickers. 
Or a client wants <a href="https://axiomprint.com/product/presentation-folder-275" target="_blank">foil-stamped presentation folders</a>... for an event this weekend. It’s beautiful, but not realistic. So we pivot. Offer alternatives. Make it work without compromising the deadline or their budget. 
That consultation step takes time—but it’s how we ensure the final product is actually what they need. 
<h2>2. Getting the Artwork Right</h2>

We used to joke with clients/close friends:
“We’ll go ahead and start printing while you send us the file.” 
They’d pause for a second…
And then it would click: you can’t print anything without the artwork.
That was always our way of making a point - Nothing moves until the file is final. 
And when we say “final,” there are three major components to it: 
<ul>
 <li>Creative – The visual impact. Will it look professional on paper? Will those colors look right on Kraft paper? Will that thin font be ok in Foil Stamp? A good design matters, and it’s our responsibility to help guide that.</li>
 <li>Technical – File setup is everything: size, bleed, resolution, layers for embellishments like foil or white ink. Outlined Fonts, embedded images. To check and correct all this takes time. And when there are 20 different versions? Multiply the work by 20. </li>
 <li>Grammatical – As much as we try to stay away from this, it still lands on us. If there’s a typo—even if it’s in a client-provided file—it reflects on the final product. If it prints wrong, it usually needs to be reprinted… regardless of who made the mistake. (And no, we didn’t say we redo it for free 😉) </li></ul>
Finalizing artwork can take days of back and forth. Our data from March, 2024 shows that jobs would stay in pre-production averaging about 22 working hours. (With 8 hours shift that’s 2.75 days), while actual production averages just 14.8 hours (1.85 days).
 

<h2>3. How Automation Changed the Game</h2>

While the challenges above still exist—product guidance, artwork approval, and file prep—we’ve made huge progress in addressing them within the last 12 months. 
In the past year, we built our own in-house tool called ProofCheck.
It was designed specifically to tackle the most common issues that slow down pre-press. 
This system does what no off-the-shelf software could: 

<ul>
 <li>Verifies size and bleed accuracy</li>
 <li>Checks if front and back pages match the order specs and orientation.</li>
 <li>Provides the positioning / look of embellishment layers (like foil, spot UV, or white ink)</li>
 <li>Even runs a live spell check—on flattened files like JPGs—using built-in AI </li></ul>
Thanks to ProofCheck, what used to be in pre-production que for 1-2 days, now takes an average of just 5.8 hours.

And for reorders?
We’ve reduced that to just 15–20 minutes to validate and prep the files for production. 

 This isn’t a minor improvement. 

It’s a fundamental shift—and it’s been key to how we continue scaling by offering faster turnarounds, avoiding simple mistakes and providing better service for our clients—without sacrificing quality.Yes, print is still a process. But when you build smart systems, it becomes a faster, smarter one. 
<h2>It’s Still a Process—Just a Smarter One</h2>

 Clients may never see the hours spent before the press even starts.
They don’t see the versioning, the adjustments, the grammar fixes, or the file checks.

At AxiomPrint, we’ve built the systems and processes — so you don’t have to worry about those things. So you can focus on your brand, your campaign, your deadline. We believe that great printing should feel a very easy process on the outside, regardless of the internal complexities.

Why Print is a Process - Not Just a Product

Shelf. Glance. Decision
That’s how fast your packaging must work.
In just 3 seconds, a customer decides whether to pick up your product or pass it by.&nbsp; So what makes someone grab your product over the one next to it?
It’s not just about good design.
It’s about smart print finishing.
 
At AxiomPrint, we help bold brands upgrade packaging with&nbsp;<a href="https://axiomprint.com/product/raised-foil-roll-labels-1173">Raised Foil</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://axiomprint.com/product/raised-spot-uv-roll-labels-1017">Raised Spot UV Roll Labels</a> that shine, shimmer, and invite touch.&nbsp;
The result? Labels that don’t just look good… they feel luxury.
 
<h2 dir="ltr">Why Texture &amp; Shine Win at the Shelf</h2>
 
Flat is forgettable.
<a href="https://www.inc.com/logan-chierotti/harvard-professor-says-95-of-purchasing-decisions-are-subconscious.html">Harvard research shows that 95% of purchasing decisions are made subconsciously</a>, meaning the feel of your packaging can be just as influential as the look. And according to <a href="https://www.marketingprofs.com/chirp/2014/25957/how-product-packaging-affects-buying-decisions-infographic">Verónica Maria Jarski of Marketingprofs.com</a>, one-third of purchase choices are based on packaging alone.
That makes your label your most powerful marketing tool.
 
<h2 dir="ltr">The Sensory Power of Raised Finishes</h2>
 
Raised Spot UV Roll Labels add shine, depth, and texture to key areas,&nbsp; inviting customers to touch and connect.
Raised Foil Roll Labels deliver metallic shine to logos and accents, signaling luxury and quality.&nbsp;
Used together, they create a multi-sensory experience that builds trust, boosts shelf appeal, and drives sales&nbsp; without a full redesign.
 
<ul>
 <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
 &nbsp;Touch&nbsp;→ Trust
 </li>
</ul>
When customers feel texture, they associate it with quality.
<ul>

</ul>
Raised spot gloss catches the light&nbsp; and attention.
<ul>
 <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
 &nbsp;Raised &nbsp;→ Memorable
 </li>
</ul>
The 3D surface leaves a lasting impression by triggering the <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/endowment-effect.asp">Endowment Effect</a>&nbsp;- when touch creates a sense of ownership. It’s packaging that’s felt, remembered, and chosen.
 
<hr>
Neuromarketing Insight Packaging that stimulates both sight and touch is far more likely to be remembered and chosen at the shelf. Why? Because we’re naturally and emotionally drawn to shiny things,&nbsp;they signal value, attention, and desire.
<hr> 
<h2 dir="ltr">Perfect for High-Touch Industries</h2>
 
Raised finishing touches are especially powerful in industries where packaging is the first customer touchpoint:
<ul>
 <li>Cosmetics &amp; Skincare</li>
 <li>Wine &amp; Spirits</li>
 <li>Health &amp; Supplements</li>
 <li>Cannabis Products</li>
 <li>Food &amp; Beverages</li>
 <li>Luxury Goods &amp; Events</li>
</ul>
 
<h2 dir="ltr">Raise the Bar. Raise Your Brand.</h2>
 
Let’s add the&nbsp;wow factor to your packaging, with print finishes that speak luxury before a word is read.
