Vinyl banners in New Jersey
Grand-opening, event and job-site banners printed and hemmed to order.
Banners are the fastest way to put a message somewhere for a few weeks. We print them on heavy vinyl, hem and grommet them properly, ready to hang.
What the job involves
Typical work: grand openings, hiring notices, seasonal promotions, sponsorship banners for local fields and fundraisers, job-site identification, trade-show backdrops, sale and event signage. Sizes run from a three-foot counter banner to long building-face runs, and we can build mesh versions for fence lines and windy spans so a banner does not act like a sail. For something permanent, see custom business signs.
Construction is what separates a banner that survives a season from one that shreds. We use heavyweight scrim vinyl, welded or sewn hems, reinforced corners and brass grommets at spacings that suit how the banner will be hung. Pole pockets, rope hems and wind slits are available where the mounting calls for them.
How we do it
Design follows the same rule as everything else we make: few words, big type, high contrast. A banner across a fence is read for about two seconds by someone doing forty miles an hour. We will help you cut copy down to what actually lands.
Turnaround is short. Once the proof is approved, most banners print, finish and ship or get delivered within a few business days, and we can rush genuine emergencies.

How mobile lettering works
STEP 1
Call or send a photo
Tell us the vehicle, the wording and roughly when you need it. A photo of the truck answers most of our questions in one shot.
STEP 2
Approve the proof
We lay the design out on a template of your actual vehicle and send it back for approval. Nothing is cut until you say yes.
STEP 3
We come to you
We arrive at your yard or job site with everything needed, prep the panels and apply the graphics. Most jobs are done while the truck stays parked at your yard.

Why customers leave their old sign shop
The differences that show up on the invoice and on the truck.
| What matters | Lombardo Lettering | Typical sign shop |
|---|---|---|
| Where the work happens | At your yard — we come to you | You drop the vehicle off |
| Downtime | Lettered where it is parked | Off the road while it is at the shop |
| Materials | Avery, 3M and Orafol cast film | Whatever is cheapest that week |
| Proof before cutting | Every job, on your vehicle | Sometimes, on a generic outline |
| Who does the work | The family — third generation | Whoever is on shift |
| Removal years later | Glueless, paint-safe | Baked-on adhesive and ghosting |
| Adding a truck in three years | Stored spec — it matches | Start the design over |
Banners — questions we get asked
How fast can I get a banner?
A few business days after proof approval in most cases. Tell us the deadline and we will confirm honestly whether we can hit it.
What size should I order?
Match the mounting first. We will suggest a size and letter height based on how far away people will be reading it.
Will it survive outdoors?
A properly hemmed scrim banner lasts multiple seasons. Mesh is the right call on exposed fence lines.
Can you reprint last year’s banner?
Yes, we keep your files, so a reprint is a phone call.
How big should a banner be?
It depends on reading distance. Tell us where it is going and how far away people will be, and we will size the type first and the banner second.
Can banners be reused?
Yes, if they are hemmed and grommeted properly and stored rolled rather than folded — folding creases the print permanently.

Banners — what the job actually is
We print, hem and grommet banners for grand openings, events and job sites, sized to the space you are hanging them in and finished to survive being put up and taken down repeatedly.
The finishing is what separates a banner that lasts a season from one that tears at the first grommet. Hems take the load; grommets spread it; wind slits matter on anything large enough to act as a sail. A banner that is simply cut to size and punched will fail at the corners.
Legibility at distance is the other half. A banner read from across a parking lot needs far fewer words and far larger type than one read from the sidewalk. We will tell you what will actually be readable at the distance you describe.
How we do it at your location
Grand-opening, event and job-site banners printed, hemmed and grommeted to order and delivered across 8 NJ counties.
The order matters more than most people expect. Everything that can be done away from your vehicle is done first: the layout is proofed, the film is printed or cut, and the panels are weeded and taped ready to hang. That is the slow part, and it happens at the shop.
What happens at your address is the part that needs the vehicle present — cleaning and de-greasing the panels, positioning and hinging the graphics, squeegeeing them down, trimming around handles, rivets and body lines, and post-heating the edges so they stay put. How long it takes depends on the vehicle and how much goes on it, and we give you an estimate with the quote.
Temperature is the one thing that can move a booking. Vinyl adhesive needs the panel warm enough to bond properly, so in deep winter we work around the weather rather than through it. If a job cannot be done safely outdoors on the day, we say so rather than applying film that will lift in a month.
- Send photos of the vehicle and the wording you want.
- We proof the layout on your actual vehicle, not a generic outline.
- You approve it — nothing is cut before you do.
- We come to you; the panels are cleaned and the film applied.
- The truck stays at your yard while we work.
