PLASTIC ROLL BANNERS
Plastic roll banners are printed on low density polyethylene, and are intended to be used for a limited time and then either recycled or disposed of. Plastic roll banners are printed using flexo presses and our minimum print run is 2,000 linear feet. Depending on your banner design, plastic roll banners typically cost less than $1.00 per banner.
Whereas plastic roll banners are flexo printed on low density poly, vinyl roll banners are digitally printed on 10 ounce vinyl. Whereas our minimum run for plastic roll banners is 2,000 linear ft, our minimum print run of vinyl roll banners is 50′.

Our average set-up time to mount plates, put in PMS matched inks, unmount plates and clean up press, hoses and ink stations is 30 minutes per spot color.
Because the press runs at 500′ per minute, the average length of a minimum run is 2,000 linear feet or 4 minutes.
That’s why 2,000 linear feet is our minimum run for spot color plastic roll banners.
Yes, we do! Please contact us if you are interested in knowing more about our 4cp capabilities.

Plastic Roll Banners are printed using flexography and this is a totally different animal than offset lithography.
In offset lithography, with which most graphic designers are familiar, the ink is on the same level as the areas of the plate that do not hold ink.
In contrast, flexography (or flexo) – so named for its flexible printing plates – is a letterpress printing process similar to the old-style block printing. To be more accurate, it’s like printing with a big rubber stamp. The ink is applied to the raised surfaces of a rubber printing plate and pressed onto the poly surface to transfer the image.
Flexo printing tends to spread more because the surface of the rubber plate is slightly compressed as it applies ink to the poly. Precision of a flexo presses are usually not as fine as an offset press, and multi-color registration tends to shift much more. Shift can be as much as 1/8″. It is wise to factor in registration shift when designing plastic roll banner art for flexo printing.

When designing your plastic roll banner or plastic bag art, it is wise to consider trapping as you construct the relationships between / among the colors. “Trap” is the overlap of two colors when printed side-by-side, also known as a “butt fit.” Colors on your roll banners need to be trapped to each other so that a white space does not appear between them as the colors shift during the press run. Because of the looser tolerances of flexo presses, these overlaps need to be at least 1/8″ (9pt).
When printing a dark color and a light color side by side on your plastic banner, always spread the light color into the darker one. This won’t result in a visible increase in the size of either color area, because the overlap is usually not seen if the darker color is dark enough.
When printing two light colors side by side, the trap will be seen as a blended “third color” as one color overprints the other. A possible solution to conceal the overlap is to print a black or dark-colored outline where the two colors meet. This outline must be at least 1/8″ (9pt) wide.
Because of the trap width needed in flexo and its potential (and unintended) visibility, it is recommended that such traps be avoided unless they can work as part of the design of your plastic roll banner.
