Terms & Conditions
Last updated: 29th July, 2025
By placing an order with Sheffield Banners, you agree to the following terms and conditions. Please read carefully before submitting your artwork or confirming your order.
1. Accepted File Formats
We accept artwork in the following formats:
PDF, PSD, AI, PNG, EPS, CDR, TIFF, and JPEG.
-
All artwork must be at 300 DPI resolution or higher to ensure sharp, high-quality prints.
-
Include a 2-inch bleed on all sides to avoid trimming issues.
2. Print-Ready Files & Proof Approval
Once we receive your artwork:
-
We’ll convert it into a print-ready format and check for resolution or layout defects.
-
Pantone colours are not supported. Files are printed in CMYK, and slight colour shifts may occur.
-
If no errors are found, your file may be sent straight to print to avoid delays.
-
Otherwise, you’ll receive a digital proof for final review.
It’s your responsibility to check for:
-
Colour accuracy
-
Spelling
-
Layout and placement
Approval via email is required before printing.
Any approvals received after 1:00 PM will be actioned the next working day, which may impact your turnaround time.
Note: A 10–15% colour variance is considered acceptable due to monitor and printer differences.
3. Product Quality & Finishing Standards
We use high-resolution, large-format digital printers, best viewed from a distance of 2 metres or more. These prints are not intended for ultra-close photographic quality.
-
Size Tolerance: A small variation of up to 3–4 cm may occur due to trimming.
-
Banner Assembly:
-
Banners under 10ft tall are printed as a single piece.
-
Larger banners may be joined with seamless, reinforced overlaps.
-
Banners under 60 sq. ft. may incur hemming fees.
-
4. Delivery & Packaging
Orders are shipped within 5–6 working days from artwork approval (not payment date).
Please allow additional time for your event.
Packaging notes:
-
Banners larger than 110cm x 110cm will be folded, which may cause creases or slight discolouration. These are not classed as faults.
-
To avoid folding, select the “Rolled on Tube” option at checkout. This may incur an extra charge and add 1 working day to delivery.
All pricing and timelines are available in our online calculator.
