Some say that print is dead. With the rise of digital marketing, e-commerce, and more there are some businesses that are reluctant to invest in physical materials like large format print. But they’ve been saying print is dead since the 1980s!
Especially over the last 15 months, Banner Box has seen a surge in demand for several different types of display and signage. Even during a global pandemic, it’s clear that there is still a real need for print. And now more than ever, businesses are looking for the highest quality services to invest in.
As we reach the halfway point of 2021, Banner Box Director – Ryan Shelton – looks at the rest of the year and highlights four key reasons he believes people will continue to invest in large format print.
Tougher Online Privacy
Reaching a target audience with the right message is getting harder. As technology advances, so does the amount of data that people can use to reach a consumer. As end-users think more carefully about the information that they’re happy to share, tech companies and service providers are introducing user-friendly data protection policies that will restrict the use of user data that has become so common in tracking customer engagement.
At the WWDC on 7th June 2021, Apple announced a new privacy feature to their Mail app, making it more difficult for email marketing — and ad trackers — from knowing which emails have been opened. This is great news for the consumer but could pose problems for small businesses that rely on this kind of tracking to generate leads for marketing, sales teams, and event managers.
Large format print offers the chance to create vibrant and unmissable displays to help reach the desired audience. Clearly, this method of promotion is not as technological, but there are still ways of tracking how people engage with large format print and evaluating its success.

The Return of In-Person Events
Even though the lifting of restrictions on 21st June was delayed, there is still lots to look forward to this summer. As limits on social gatherings and venue capacities come to an end, the remaining sectors of the UK economy will draw in a great many people who are eager to meet up in person with friends, family, and connections. Nightlife, large outdoor events, exhibitions, and more will no doubt make use of dynamic print and signage to welcome back customers and delegates, and patrons.
With the rebound of events that aren’t held over Zoom, there is a wide range of large format print products that will be popular choices to promote, advertise, and decorate all types of occasions. Consider the demand for adequate health and safety displays and informational signage which will be just as essential as traditional promotional print products.

The Climate Emergency
As we get closer to returning to normal life, it is an important time for businesses to refocus their attention to global warming and the impact of carbon emissions. Large Format Print is an industry where it is getting easier to make an eco-friendly choice without affecting the quality of the final product.
With a growing list of fabrics and materials that are recyclable and carbon-efficient, customers in all sectors can choose a green print product that still promises high quality and durability. Read more about environmentally friendly alternatives including Eco-Mesh and Kavalan – our new fabric designed for waste-to-energy conversion processes.
Large format print creates an opportunity to reach many people with a single product. Rather than the potential waste from large volume production of paper printing, creating and installing large format print means that display and signage products can be viewed by passers-by and a wider audience. Adding wall and post mount systems to your product catalogue will ensure you are well-positioned to offer your customer base a complete service offering. Get in touch with Banner Box to learn more.
