If you can't find a template that fits your need exactly, create your own design using Microsoft^® PowerPoint^®, CorelDRAW^® or many other popular formats. Upload your file and we'll turn it into a great looking sign! You can pick from any of our standard sign sizes. See the pricing page for more details.

Page Size:

• To set up your page size in PowerPoint^®, go to the "File" pull-down menu and choose "Slide Setup". Make the "Page Size" "Custom" and set the size in inches to match the sign you're ordering. Your sign can be made in "Portrait" or "Landscape" orientation.
• If your application doesn't let you choose the page size you want, you may specify a smaller page size with the same aspect ratio as your desired output. For example, if you're ordering a 36" by 72" banner, you can set your application page size to 12" by 24" which is smaller but the same proportion.

Backgrounds: Avoid using the bitmap pattern backgrounds like "marble". They look fine on screen, but when output to a large page in high resolution, the patterns are too tiny to show up.

Fonts: If you are using any typefaces that are not "standard" you should convert the text to curves (Corel) or save the file with the TrueType fonts embedded (PowerPoint) If you don't do this we will make sure that your sign looks good and no text falls off, but you may not get the exact special typeface you selected.

File Formats:

• For PowerPoint, send your .PPT file. For Corel, send your .CDR file. For Illustrator, send your .AI file.
• We can also use .PDF files from most applications. Make sure the quality is good and the graphics are not resampled to a low resolution.
• In addition to the formats listed above, we can usually create banners from other popular graphic file formats such as Adobe Illustrator, etc. If your file is larger than 10MB in size or needs to be converted before we can print it, there may be an additional charge. (We will tell you before we print your order if that's the case.)
