Instead of asking your sales team to distribute flyers roadside, you can always place promo table with branding to attract more on lookers. They have not lost there sheen and still rated as good marketing product to catch attention.

It is not just another CHINESE fancy item



I am not a DESIGNER why should I read this

The most important thing we need to care about is designing as with dull, clustered, shabby design you quickly lose interest. Through this article we thought about touching the size i.e. Design and print size of these table and how to make your design stand out. You may be just thinking its designing related, let me close this page or skip to more relevant website. It is not just about 'DESIGN' it is about how to make 'SALE'. This is one item along with canopy where design places such an important role.
You may contest by asking in almost all products its true, design is important for stationery, business cards as well. It is important but business card will be exchanged only when you either have shown interest in meeting concerned person or during formal set up. Through these promo table you are inviting the uninvited. Anyone simply walking down the road, may feel interest, stop and say, this look interesting, lets have a look guys!.

Is just your LOGO strong enough to attract


Having understood the importance of designing. Lets dwell how we can get the correct size and design prepared with the help of a designer. Promo table should not be just looked upon at placement of logos with matching background theme. This you can opt for if your brand awareness and recall is top level among masses like Airtel, etisalat, glo, mtn etc
Just merely putting Airtel logo will let people know what is this all about. That is not the case with majority 99% of the lesser known brands. All these brand manager should think about the idea and creatives which will make audience excited.

Don't make a THESIS you are not in a college

Keep it SIMPLE, don't mess the whole design with lots of text. You may have lot of things to say but let that be the job of sales guy who is manning the promo table or call center if it is unmanned. At most you can have 2 or 3 best lines which you are sure you can't done away with. Ask yourself a question is my design in first 5 seconds telling the viewer what it is all about. If not you need to rework on your creative.

Theme based background color is important


It is important to have a brand color guidelines and ask your designer or design team to adhere to it. Too many colors or different sets of color for different items can make your customers more confused. Think if Vodafone logo is visible to you in different solid colors like red, green, blue, black, orange. Brand recall will be strongly impacted.

It is 4 Individual Designs = 1 Promotional table design

Foam board is commonly used these days both for commercial and personal use. Commercial application though rule the roost. They are cost effective way for mounting your posters and banners. Personal usages can be for parties like get together, birthday etc where you can choose foam board. Print quality is superior than the flex media and it is plain, so can be pasted on to wall or any plain surface. This make it reusable where as a flex birthday banner have to be discarded after the event as they are not made to be used for extensive usage indoor.


These board are printed with eco solvent ink, with high quality digital latex multi color printing.
Foam board are also termed as sunboard. Outside Nigeria, foam board is more commonly used word. In Nigeria, people still prefer to say sunboard.

Month on month at Print101naija we are witnessing a healthy growth of more than 10% in outdoor media business may it be banner or pasted board like foam boards.

It is fairly simple to paste these board, only large size board need to be pasted with overlap print paste or butt joint. Small size upto 3ft in either dimension can be safely pasted without much help. You can paste them with the help of double side foam tape as well. Though we recommend to use mirror screws or nails as foam tape may lose grip after few days and can't be employed for long term application.
You have option to either print directly on foam board for bulk quantity order or eco vinyl is pasted on to the foam board. Later is also done via graded machine so there is no chance of banner media coming out after repeated usage. These board are available in variety of thickness. Most widely used is 3mm board. If you are looking for thicker board then we do stock 5,6 and 10 mm thick board as well.
These can be used in variety of application like:-
  • Trade shows
  • POP (Point of Purchase) displays
  • Display signs
  • Sign board use thicker boards
  • Intour signs for zoos, national parks etc
  • Historical sites for information desk (thick mounting recommended)
  • Photo print gift items

  • Interior design
  • Menus for hotels and restaurants

Last year 2016, we spoke to Times Events, Mr. Taju ola, he press on the need for outdoor media industry to look for more appealing solutions to ever evolving customer psyche. Leader in event vertical, do have a point, these days Indian brand when placed side by side with global big brands exhibiting in India can't just rely on old dated media tools. Taking this into consideration, this year we have introduced die cut shape foam board which can be used either as dangler or the POP display sticks, or boards. It is easy to carry them from one location to another.
We also see them extensively used for wall branding and self branding. UV flat bed machines are also used for printing directly on the foam board. UV flat bed printing will have no necessity of laminating the banner media. For eco vinyl pasted board, it is always advise to laminate to protect it from wear and tear. You can opt for gloss or matt lamination.

What is Large Format Printing?

Large format printing, also called wide format printing, refers to print materials that are too large to be printed on the most readily available sizes of commercial printing presses. Printing large formats utilises specialty production equipment in order to deliver large-sized print dimensions.
Offering outstanding image quality, super large sizes, rigid and flexible materials, double sided prints, UV printing and excellent weather resistance, large format prints are typically designed as a flat wall-hanging, but can also be made to fold, or to be free-standing. In the print industry, the term “wide format” depends on the maximum print sizes of the printer in question.
Large format printing has a comprehensive range of uses. It can be used to capture someone’s attention from a distance, to provide a quick snapshot of information, or to provide a large graphic for use in an educational, informative or instructional setting. Many businesses also use wide format print materials for promotional purposes. Applications include:
  • Trade show graphics
  • Pull up banners
  • Convention backdrops
  • Exhibit signage
  • Laminating and mounting services
  • Backlit displays
  • Vehicle wraps
  • Window stickers and displays

You can request UV resistant ink if your printed pieces will be displayed in direct sunlight or harsh weather conditions. These UV inks will not fade in the sun and are water resistant. They provide outstanding durability without lamination, thus creating a very reliable solution for both indoor and outdoor applications without the need for lamination. Large posters or banners can be enhanced with framing, gloss or matt lamination or mounting onto different board types for an improved appearance and added durability.
