Banner printing in South Africa: the quick answer
Banner printing is the large-format production of a printed display banner, and in South Africa it ranges from roughly R350 for a basic roll-up to R2,500+ for a wide-format or double-sided PVC banner. The right choice comes down to three things: the size you need, the material (PVC scrim vs fabric), and where the banner will be used. This guide breaks down the standard banner sizes, materials, and current 2026 prices so you can order with confidence in Johannesburg and across Gauteng.
Standard banner sizes in South Africa
Most local printers work to a small set of standard sizes, which keeps costs down and turnaround fast. Custom sizes are always available for events and vehicle-scale signage.
- Roll-up / pull-up banner: 850mm × 2000mm is the national standard (about 1.7m² of print). A wider 1000mm × 2000mm and a 850mm × 1500mm tabletop version are common.
- PVC hanging banner: sized to your space — 1m × 2m, 1m × 3m and 2m × 1m are popular for shopfronts and gates.
- Teardrop / flag banners: small, medium and large for outdoor events and forecourts.
- Wide-format backdrops: 2.4m × 3m and up for stage and media walls.
Banner materials explained
PVC scrim (blockout vinyl)
The workhorse of South African banner printing. Standard roll-ups and outdoor banners use 440gsm blockout PVC — a flexible, rollable vinyl that resists curling, is UV-treated, and holds up to Gauteng sun and highveld weather. Ideal for outdoor and high-traffic use.
Fabric / polyester
A matte, photographic finish with no glare — perfect for indoor exhibitions, media walls and premium retail. Fabric banners fold without creasing and travel well, but cost a little more than PVC.
Rigid & specialty boards
For signage-style displays, printers also use Correx, foam board, ABS and Perspex. These aren’t “banners” in the flexible sense but often come up in the same quote for a full event or branding rollout.

PVC vs fabric: which should you choose?
- Choose PVC for outdoor use, longevity, and budget-friendly pricing.
- Choose fabric for indoor exhibitions, glare-free photos and a premium look.
- Choose a roll-up unit when you need a self-standing, portable display for expos and reception areas.
- Choose eyeleted PVC banners when hanging on fences, gates or scaffolding.
How to get print-ready artwork right
- Supply files as PDF or high-res PNG at final size.
- Keep critical text and logos 50–80mm inside the edge as a safe zone.
- Use CMYK colour, not RGB, so printed colours match your expectation.
- Add bleed if the design runs to the edge (usually 20–50mm on large format).
- Outline or embed fonts to avoid substitution.
