MADE TO
Short answer: plan backwards from the event day. Fix the venue sizes first, send artwork a week early, ask for a proof, and order a little extra of anything that gets damaged or given away.
A simple timeline
| When | Do this |
|---|---|
| 4 weeks before | Confirm the venue, stage and booth sizes. Decide the items |
| 3 weeks before | Brief the designer. Collect logos and sponsor files |
| 2 weeks before | Approve artwork and the proof |
| 1 week before | Print and check. Plan delivery and install |
| Event day | Spare items and a contact for fixes |
What to print
- Entrance and stage: backdrops and flex banners
- Roadside and registration: feather flags
- Booth and lobby: pull-up banners
- Entry: event tickets

Avoid common problems
- Measure the space before you design. Banners are priced and built by size.
- Use large, simple designs. People read them from a distance.
- Check sponsor logos in vector format so they print sharply.
- Plan install. Ask about eyelets, hems and stands.
- Order spares of small items that get taken or damaged.
