Overview
A school banner has one job: get noticed. Freshers week banner printing here is full colour, edge to edge, made to order.
Who orders these
Made for freshers fairs, stalls and student union events. Colleges use them across entrances on open days and at freshers fairs. Schools hang them on the front railings for open evenings, admissions and good news.
Getting the size right
Sizing freshers week banner printing: 13 sizes, from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) up to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm). Railings and gates are the usual spot, so measure between the posts. A banner that sits inside the posts looks neater than one that overhangs.
Freshers week banner printing: what it is made of
It is printed on 440gsm PVC, the standard tough banner vinyl. Extras in the options: eyelets in plastic or metal (metal is the tougher choice for banners that stay up outside), hemmed edges, where the edge is folded and welded for strength (worth having on anything going outside) and a bag or two of cable ties, so the fixings turn up with the banner.
Cable ties through the eyelets are the quickest way up on railings and fences; on a wall, use screws with washers or hooks.

Asked by buyers
How cheaply can I get hold of Freshers Week Banners?
Picked the way the page first loads, with 440gsm PVC and 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm), Freshers Week Banners come to £36.53. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. On its own the opening price of £36.53 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.
How far ahead should I order a banner for freshers' week?
Count back from the day. Saver, the cheapest option, needs 6 working days before it leaves us, and Express needs 2. Then allow one to three working days in the courier van. The clock starts when your order and file are both in and confirmed, so get names, wording and photos sorted first. Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays are not counted. Choose Saver and these banners leave us after 6 working days; Express brings that down to 2. The biggest sizes of these banners go by specialist courier, which adds £15 once to the order. On its opening option, Freshers Week Banners leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Which turnaround speeds can I choose for Freshers Week Banners?
Allow 6 working days on Saver, 4 on Standard or 2 on Express before Freshers Week Banners are handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.
Which artwork services are offered with Freshers Week Banners?
Several routes, all chosen under Artwork on this page. Send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The fee is the same whatever quantity you order and shows separately in the basket. There is also a free online designer if you want to build it yourself. On its opening option, Freshers Week Banners leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Is the online designer free, and how do I use it?
Pick a starting layout, swap in your own words, logo and pictures, and move things around until it looks right. While you work, the tool flags sample text you forgot to change, small text, items outside the safe area and blurry images, before you can finish. It is free to use and the on-screen watermark does not print. What you see is what we print. Make the artwork for these banners the same size as the one you order, such as 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm). Nothing is printed ahead of time: each banner is made to order for you. On this page, Freshers Week Banners start from £36.53.
We are not sure how big to go. Which banner size is right for us?
Two numbers decide it: the space you are filling, and the distance people will read it from. At 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm), the smallest option here sits neatly on a stall, a doorway or one section of railing. At 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm), the biggest can stretch along a playing field fence or across the front of a building and still be read from far off. Nothing quite right? Any measurement from 300 mm on the short side to 5000 mm long by 3000 mm deep can be made. Material choices for Freshers Week Banners: 440gsm PVC.
Where do people usually put up a banner for freshers' week?
Anywhere there is something to tie the eyelets to. For freshers' week that is often the school railings, the main gate, the playing field fence or the back wall of the hall. As a starting point, 6 ft × 3 ft (1829 × 914 mm) at £54.26 fits most fences and walls. On painted walls indoors, hang it from hooks or a cord and skip the sticky tape. Outside, use every eyelet and take it down if a gale is forecast.
Does rain get through these banners?
It keeps the weather out: 440gsm PVC is waterproof banner vinyl built for use outside. Its life outdoors comes down to exposure. Strong sun and gusty wind age it faster, while hemming, metal rings and a fixing in every hole keep it in good shape for longer. For a very windy spot, such as an open fence line or scaffold, choose mesh so the wind can pass through. We print these banners on 440gsm PVC. On its opening option, Freshers Week Banners leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
And the largest banner, 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm): how much is that one?
From £161.77, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. That clears the £100 mark on its own, so UK mainland delivery costs nothing. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each banner is made to order for you. Sizes for these banners go from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) at the small end to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm), 12 in all. On this page, Freshers Week Banners start from £36.53.
Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?
No surprises: what the page shows for these banners is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Before delivery, these banners cost from £36.53. Sizes for these banners go from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) at the small end to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm), 12 in all. On this page, Freshers Week Banners start from £36.53.
How many Freshers Week Banners can I buy at one time?
Anything from 1 to 99. The quantity choices on the page run 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, and upwards. The figure shown is for the whole batch, not for one, so divide it by the number you picked to see the cost of each. If you need more than 99, send the size, number and date through our Get a quote page. Sizes for these banners go from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) at the small end to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm), 12 in all. Before delivery, these banners cost from £36.53. Material choices for Freshers Week Banners: 440gsm PVC.
How can a small charity keep the cost of these banners down?
Three things help most: a modest size, 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) at £36.53; the Saver option, which costs least and needs 6 working days; and wording without a date, so it can be used again. Making the design yourself on screen is free. Delivery is free once the goods reach £100, so a few groups sharing one order can save the £7.95. Before delivery, these banners cost from £36.53. On this page, Freshers Week Banners start from £36.53.
Could you price an 8 ft × 3 ft (2438 × 914 mm) banner for me?
From £64.91, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each banner is made to order for you. Sizes for these banners go from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) at the small end to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm), 12 in all.
I am not a business. Can I buy just one of these banners?
Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for Freshers Week Banners begin at £36.53, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. On its own the opening price of £36.53 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.
Our event is close. Can Freshers Week Banners be rushed?
Yes. Choose Express and Freshers Week Banners can be on the way in 2 working days on the opening option, for £48.70, where Saver is £36.53 and takes 6 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.
I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?
That is why a person looks at every upload before anything is printed. Typical snags are a document at the wrong size, missing bleed, blurry photos and words sitting too near the trim. If we spot one, we explain what to change and you send a fresh file. Or hand it over to us: for £15 our typesetting places your wording and logo on a neat layout, with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Sizes for these banners go from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) at the small end to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm), 12 in all. Material choices for Freshers Week Banners: 440gsm PVC.
Can I send a Word or Canva file for Freshers Week Banners?
Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. Make the artwork for these banners the same size as the one you order, such as 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm). On its opening option, Freshers Week Banners leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?
Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. If you have no file, you can build the design for these banners in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. On its opening option, Freshers Week Banners leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
How tall do the letters need to be so people can read these banners from a distance?
Take 6 ft × 3 ft (1829 × 914 mm) as an example. Leave 50 mm clear on every side and the text area is about 814 mm high. Capitals 240 mm tall can be picked out at around 29 m, because sign makers reckon every 25 mm of letter height carries roughly 3 m. A few short, heavy words in a colour that stands out from the background travel further than a long line squeezed in. Sizes for these banners go from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) at the small end to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm), 12 in all. Material choices for Freshers Week Banners: 440gsm PVC.
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these banners?
Big items seen from a distance only need 100 to 150 dpi at full size. So a 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm) layout wants about 11,811 by 7,874 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it. Sizes for these banners go from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) at the small end to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm), 12 in all. On its opening option, Freshers Week Banners leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Can we have pictures of the family, the team or our products on these banners?
Yes. Put them in your own artwork, drop them into the online designer, or pick one of the design options and send them over. To fill 8 ft × 3 ft (2438 × 914 mm) edge to edge, a picture should be about 9,598 pixels wide for a good result at 100 dpi. Most phone camera shots are big enough. Pictures copied off Facebook, Instagram or a chat app usually lack the pixels, and the person checking your file will point out any that could look soft. If you have no file, you can build the design for these banners in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. On this page, Freshers Week Banners start from £36.53.
Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?
Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. Designs made in the online designer are printed exactly as they looked on screen. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. If you have no file, you can build the design for these banners in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. Make the artwork for these banners the same size as the one you order, such as 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm).
Any tips on the wording for these banners?
Less is more. Aim for one main line that can be read from across the road or the hall, and add a name or date only if it matters. A handful of words, three to six, printed big will beat a full sentence printed small. Read every name through twice, because the banner is printed exactly as you send or design it. The online designer has ready-made layouts to start from. Sizes for these banners go from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) at the small end to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm), 12 in all. On its opening option, Freshers Week Banners leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Once I finish designing these banners online, is the file mine to keep?
Two ways. Buy the file on its own: finish your design and pay £9.99 for the print-ready PDF, though you give up the right to cancel as soon as you start downloading it. Or order printing, and a full resolution PDF of the design travels with the order, waiting for you in your confirmation email and under My Account once you have paid. Make the artwork for these banners the same size as the one you order, such as 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm). Before delivery, these banners cost from £36.53. On its opening option, Freshers Week Banners leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
I run a small shop. Would these banners work on the front of it?
A cafe, salon, market stall or corner shop can put these banners to good use out front. A PVC banner on the fascia or railings is a fast way to shout about an opening or an offer. For scale, 6 ft 7 in × 3 ft 3 in (2000 × 1000 mm) is £61.49. Large or lit signs may need advertisement consent from the council, and your landlord may have a say. We print these banners on 440gsm PVC. On this page, Freshers Week Banners start from £36.53.
Can a club banner go up every weekend and come down again?
It can. Club secretaries often leave the season and dates off so one banner covers every home fixture. Tie every eyelet on the rail, take it down after the final whistle, let it dry if it has rained and roll it with the print facing out. For a windswept pitch, mesh takes less strain than solid PVC. We print these banners on 440gsm PVC. Sizes for these banners go from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) at the small end to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm), 12 in all. On its opening option, Freshers Week Banners leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Would these banners look right inside a hall or a shop?
Yes. PVC hangs flat and the print comes out crisp, so it suits school halls, church halls, receptions, stage fronts and indoor events. If you would rather avoid PVC indoors, our PVC-free banners are made in the same sizes. Inside you can skip the ties altogether. Hang it by the eyelets from hooks or a length of cord, or use hanging strips that peel off cleanly. We print these banners on 440gsm PVC. Before delivery, these banners cost from £36.53. For reference, Freshers Week Banners are listed in 12 sizes, the smallest being 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm).
We have a school fair coming up. Would these banners be suitable?
Yes. Tie them to railings, a fence or a gazebo, or stand them on an easel. If you are outside and the wind picks up, check the fixings again during the day. Leave time for making and delivery before the date of the fair. We print these banners on 440gsm PVC. Before delivery, these banners cost from £36.53. For reference, Freshers Week Banners are listed in 12 sizes, the smallest being 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm).
Could we put these banners up on a building site or around works?
Short term or in a sheltered spot, a banner is fine. For weeks on open fencing, switch to mesh, which lets the wind through. Whoever puts them up should tie off every fixing point firmly and check again once the wind has been blowing. We print these banners on 440gsm PVC. Sizes for these banners go from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) at the small end to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm), 12 in all.
Our spot gets windy. Is a PVC banner going to cope?
Think of solid PVC stretched along open fencing as a sail. Every gust presses on the whole sheet, and all that force ends up in the eyelets and the ties. So use every eyelet, pull it firm without stretching it, look at the ties again after the first blustery spell, and bring it in if a storm is on the way. If it has to stay up for weeks somewhere exposed, mesh is the better buy because much of the wind blows through it. We print these banners on 440gsm PVC. Before delivery, these banners cost from £36.53. On its opening option, Freshers Week Banners leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Hemming on Freshers Week Banners: how do the choices differ?
Hemming turns the edge over and welds it down, so the eyelets grip a double layer and the border is far less likely to rip. For anything facing the weather it is money well spent. For Freshers Week Banners the list runs none or Hemmed Edges. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.
Does the eyelets option I choose make a difference to Freshers Week Banners?
Eyelets are the little rings set into the border so a tie or bungee can go through. If it is staying outside for weeks or months, go for metal, which lasts longer than plastic. For Freshers Week Banners the list runs metal eyelets or plastic eyelets. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.
How do I pick the right cable ties for Freshers Week Banners?
The cable ties option has 3 settings: 2 bags, 1 bag or none. Add a bag or two of ties and you will not be hunting for them on the day you hang it. Do the four corners first, then work along every eyelet. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. We print these banners on 440gsm PVC. Before delivery, these banners cost from £36.53. Material choices for Freshers Week Banners: 440gsm PVC.
Could we bring these banners out again another time?
That depends on the wording. Leave off the year or the date, and it will be just as useful for next September. The banner material is made to be put up, taken down and rolled away again and again. Let it dry, roll it with the print outwards and keep it somewhere dry. We print these banners on 440gsm PVC.
How should I keep these banners between uses?
Make sure it is bone dry and clean, then roll it up loosely with the print on the outside, round a cardboard tube if one is handy. Try not to fold it, because sharp folds leave creases and the ink can crack along them. Snip off old cable ties before rolling so they do not press marks into the print, and store the roll in a dry cupboard well clear of radiators. We print these banners on 440gsm PVC. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each banner is made to order for you. Material choices for Freshers Week Banners: 440gsm PVC.
Is it legal to hang these banners on a fence or building I do not own?
Only with the owner's say-so, so ask the landowner or building owner before anything goes up. In England, outdoor banners are adverts in the eyes of the 2007 Control of Advertisements Regulations. Plenty of temporary banners need no application, but the size, the location and how long it is left up all count. Your local council can tell you if you are in doubt. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each have similar rules of their own. We print these banners on 440gsm PVC. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each banner is made to order for you. For reference, Freshers Week Banners are listed in 12 sizes, the smallest being 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm).
Can I send these banners back if I no longer need them?
If they arrive faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, yes: under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we reprint or refund. A change of mind is different. Each order is made to your specification, and reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 takes those goods out of the 14-day right to cancel. Before production starts, though, you can cancel for all your money back. Sizes for these banners go from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) at the small end to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm), 12 in all.
We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?
No. Each design goes into the basket as a separate line with its own file or online design, and you pay for them all in one checkout. Delivery is counted once for the whole order and costs nothing when the goods reach £100. If two lines share the same artwork, pick the artwork option that reuses a file already in your basket, so any design fee is only paid once. Sizes for these banners go from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) at the small end to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm), 12 in all. Before delivery, these banners cost from £36.53.
Do I have to register before I can buy?
There is no need to sign up. Pay as a guest with a bank card, handled securely by Stripe, and you still get an order confirmation email and a tracking email on dispatch. An account is optional; it just keeps your order history in one place, along with downloads of designs you made online. Sizes for these banners go from 4 ft × 2 ft (1219 × 610 mm) at the small end to 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm), 12 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each banner is made to order for you. On its opening option, Freshers Week Banners leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Bleed and dpi mean nothing to me. Can I still get printing done?
Yes. You do not need any print knowledge to order Freshers Week Banners. Send us your words and logo with the typesetting option (£15) and we build the layout, then you get a first draft and two rounds of changes. If you would rather make it yourself, the online designer checks the technical side as you go. Whatever you choose, a real person looks at the file before printing.
