We have back to school banner templates already built for you to customize by adding text, photographs, clip art and backgrounds. To get started, go to our Back to School Banners page.

Step 1: Select the Banner Size and Quantity
The first step is to select the banner size and quantity from the drop down menus.

Step 2: Choose the Banner Add Ons / Finishing Options
Banners are finished with heat welded hems and grommets every 2-4 feet around the banner perimeter. You can also select to have pole pockets, reinforced hems and reinforced corners. If you are using your banners indoors, we do not recommend using reinforcements.The price will adjust when you select your options.
