How Does Same Day Banner Printing Work?

Same day banner printing is a fast-turnaround service that lets you place an order and pick up your completed banner within the same day, often for a premium fee.
It’s a total lifesaver for those last-minute events demanding a quick solution.
Learn how this works and how long it takes to print different banner types.
Same Day Printing Process

Here’s a quick rundown of how to get your banner fast:
- Choose a printer that offers same-day print options.
- Place an order and send your design file, preferably early in the morning (before your first coffee) to avoid delays in peak time.
- The printing company reviews your uploaded files and design instructions.
- They send a digital proof and wait for your go-ahead.
- When everything’s approved, they print the banner using advanced digital equipment.
- They complete any finishings on the banner, like adding grommets.
- You pick up your order, and that’s it. You’re good to go!
What’s the General Turnaround Time for Most Banners?
While same-day turnaround sounds convenient, not all banner projects can be completed in just one day.
Bigger orders and complex projects, like large-scale shade cloth banners, may need more time and won’t be available for same-day pickup. Large banner sizes requiring seams also take longer to finish.
Plus, custom requirements, like special cutout shapes or additional grommets, impact production time.
Here at NorthCoast Banners, we use modern printing techniques and state-of-the-art production facilities to deliver superior-quality custom banners in the fastest time possible. (Yes, we offer rush printing services!)
Here’s how long it takes to print a banner depending on the backdrop size and banner type:

Cloth Banners | Vibrant colors, washable; ideal for indoor events, uses a dye sublimation process | 5 to 7 business days |

Pro Tip: Speed up the printing process by preparing a print-ready design file that meets your printer’s file format and resolution requirements. And be sure to respond fast to any follow-up questions to avoid delays.
