Over-the-street banners have rules to follow.

Things to know before ordering an over-the-street banner.

Over-the-street banners are extra large banners that extend between two unattached structures. Over-the-street banners, otherwise known as street banners or road banners, almost always have to meet certain rules and regulations though. Since this style of banner is installed over areas where people will be walking or driving they must meet certain safety requirements before being hung for display. Specifications on how street banners must be manufactured vary from city to city; so it's always a good idea to check with your local city planning or zoning department to get the information necessary to purchase an over-the-street banner.

Pantone (PMS) helps with color matching.

Utilizing Pantone colors to get a good color match with CMYK printing.

When it comes to digital printing, it's hard to obtain an exact color match unless you utilize a color matching system. The reason for this is that most all digital files display differently on a computer screen compared to when they actually print. Computer screen calibrations also vary from computer to computer, with most utilizing an RGB color mode, which doesn't translate well when digital printing is done on a CMYK color scale. So if you have any specific color matching needs for digitally printed decals, banners, posters, vehicle graphics, etc. you'll need to know a little about the Pantone Matching System and PMS colors.
