Custom Banners for Your Sport’s Teams
Apr/120
You have decorated their uniforms, did the spirit wear and ordered stickers for the team’s helmets. One last item most teams will need is a banner to hang on game day at the field.
This is a great last add-on sale. Some ideas to put on the team banner are the team name with team logo, the team photo, a team roster, and a thank you to the sponsors with their names/and or logos.
A banner listed with the team roster and sponsors.
You can create the art and send it to us, or use one of our banner layouts. A good size for these banners is 3 feet x 5 feet which will cost you about $30 and can easily be sold for $50. While doing research, we found them promoted for as much as $80!
The banners are printed in full color, so photographs are perfect to put on the banner. They are printed on durable 13 oz vinyl, and UV protected so they won’t fade in sunlight. Each banner includes 4 easy to use banner tabs to position on the banner based on where you will be hanging it. The banner is shipped in a durable tube that is perfect for your team’s storage to take it from game to game.

11” x 11” will be perfect

Custom Prints for the Big Game
Jan/110
It is football playoffs time, and cities still involved are excited to support their teams and may be asking you to supply custom shirts. All of the team names as well as the word Super Bowl are licensed, so you need permission from the NFL to do shirts with those on them. But don’t be left out, be creative and join in the fun. Use nicknames associated with the fan base that are not licensed and do shirts for watch parties! You can create a supportive phrase for you local team then use that phase in Easy Prints designs. We used Easy View™ to do a couple of designs to get you started. The possibilities are endless, and who knows maybe you are the start of the next big trend.
