Wide Format Printing
Professional wide format printing for banners, displays, and extended width graphics across Auckland.
When your message needs to span metres rather than centimetres, wide format printing delivers the reach and visual impact your marketing requires. At Falcon Signs, we provide wide format printing Auckland businesses depend on for vinyl banners, pull up banners, mesh banners, and extended width displays that communicate effectively across distances.
What is Wide Format Printing?
Wide format printing excels where standard formats fall short. A vinyl banner stretched across a building facade announces your business to every passing vehicle. Pull up banners at trade shows communicate your brand at eye level to hundreds of visitors. The extended width capabilities of wide format printing solve communication challenges that demand horizontal or vertical scale.
Falcon Signs produces:
- Vinyl banners (PVC banners for indoor and outdoor use)
- Pull up banners (retractable exhibition displays)
- Mesh banners (wind-permeable outdoor graphics)
- Fabric banners (premium textile displays)
- Building wraps and scaffolding banners
- Fence banners (event and construction site graphics)
- Teardrop and feather banners
- Custom width displays (to specification)
Our wide format equipment handles diverse banner materials with the colour accuracy and durability your applications demand.
From retail promotions to construction site branding, Auckland businesses throughout West Auckland, Henderson, Glen Eden, and New Lynn trust us for wide format printing that performs in real-world conditions.

Our Process
Our Wide Format Printing Process
Application Discussion
We discuss where your banners will be used, how they will be mounted, expected exposure conditions, and display duration. These factors determine appropriate materials and finishing for reliable performance.
Size and Format Determination
Based on your requirements, we recommend optimal banner dimensions and formats. Whether standard pull up banners or custom width displays, we specify dimensions that suit your application.
Artwork Review
We review your artwork for resolution, colour setup, and overall suitability for wide format reproduction. Files must be prepared correctly for quality output at extended widths.
Material Selection
Different applications require different materials. We recommend vinyl weights, mesh types, or fabric options based on indoor versus outdoor use, wind exposure, and durability requirements.
Colour Management
Brand colours must reproduce accurately on banner materials. Our colour management ensures consistent reproduction that matches your brand guidelines and other marketing materials.
Production and Finishing
Using calibrated wide format equipment, we print banners with attention to colour accuracy and consistent quality across extended widths. Finishing includes hemming, grommets, pole pockets, and hardware as required.
Quality Inspection
Every banner is inspected for print quality, colour accuracy, and finishing before delivery. We ensure banners are ready for immediate installation and display.

Frequently Asked Questions - Wide Format Printing
Wide format printing typically refers to prints with extended width, often on roll-fed materials like vinyl and mesh, commonly used for banners and displays. Large format printing generally refers to oversized prints including posters and rigid displays. In practice, the terms overlap significantly, and both describe printing beyond standard office sizes.
For outdoor banners, heavy-duty PVC vinyl (440-500gsm) provides excellent durability and weather resistance. For windy locations, mesh banner material allows wind to pass through, reducing stress on mounting points. Both materials accept UV-resistant inks and optional lamination for extended outdoor lifespan.
Standard pull up banner sizes include 850mm x 2000mm (most common), 1000mm x 2000mm (wider format), and 1200mm x 2000mm (premium width). Double-sided options and tabletop sizes are also available. We supply complete systems including banner, cassette, and carry bag.
Supply artwork as PDF or high-resolution image files at a minimum of 100 DPI at final print size. Include bleed if edge-to-edge printing is required. Colours should be in CMYK mode. For very large banners, files at 50% scale with 150 DPI deliver equivalent quality at final size.
Standard finishing includes welded hems on all edges for reinforcement and professional appearance. Grommets (eyelets) provide hanging points at specified intervals. Pole pockets allow suspension from horizontal poles. D-rings and rope edging suit specific mounting requirements. We discuss finishing needs during project planning.
Quality outdoor vinyl banners typically maintain appearance for 2-3 years under normal New Zealand conditions. Harsh coastal exposure or extreme sun may reduce lifespan. UV-resistant inks and protective lamination extend durability. For extended outdoor display, we recommend heavier vinyl weights and premium finishing.
Yes, options include blockout vinyl that prevents show-through between sides, and mesh with double-sided print for wind-permeable applications. Pull up banners are available in double-sided configurations with graphics visible from both directions. Double-sided printing is ideal for hanging banners viewed from multiple angles.
