ChurchBanners.com was formally Amplify Designs created back in 2004. We changed the name and website back in 2014, but are still going strong helping ministries around the world with quality banners and displays.
We've got a heart here to help people get connected to the body of Christ. We think our banners and displays help from the parking lot to the sanctuary Direct, Connect, and Inspire guest and members alike.
We've got 5 machines in-house printing banners constantly. Most indoor banner orders on a Monday tend to arrive by Friday/Saturday in time for your Sunday morning service. We get it, you get busy and forget to order, but luckily we've got plenty of machines and are located here in Texas where we can get East or West in generally 3 days ground.
A question we always ask our customers is..."where are you going to display your church banner?"
If the answer is inside we generally will recommend fabric unless it's going to be for a very short term use and only for that particular occasion. If it's a seasonal use banner and you would hang the banners the next season, we would suggest the fabric. For most sanctuary or welcome center displays we highly recommend the fabric. Every where else inside the church, we see both materials being used.
If the banner is going outside on your parking lot poles or out by the roadside, you must use the vinyl banner material. Our fabric banners are only good for interior use. Below is a breakdown of both materials.
Fabric Banners
- Fabric is 100% Polyester coated for a quality print and a straight hang.
- Fabric does not curl and hangs nice and straight.
- Fabric is for interior use only and comes single sided.
- Fabric is the best option for our Banner Collage series.
- Print quality on the fabric is elegant and has a luster finished look. It is not a shiny finish. Inks on the fabric soak into the material just a bit compared to the vinyl.
- Our fabric is stiff like a heavy starched men's dress shirt, and not soft like a cotton or silk tshirt or flag.
Matte Vinyl Banners
- Vinyl is a pvc, 13oz matte banner material. The matte finish keeps the glare low for indoor use.
- Vinyl is great for outdoors and is "ok" for indoor use, but we prefer the fabric option when using for inside.
- Vinyl curls along the vertical upright edges and curls out towards the audience.
- Vinyl is not a great option for our Banner Collage series, but we understand budgets and know it's a much better price option when buying in quantities.
- Print quality on vinyl is brighter than the fabric and for the Stained Glass series the vinyl actually looks better than the fabric. The downside to the vinyl stained glass series is the edges curl, where as the fabric edges do not curl at all.

No we do not. Designing church banners is what we're good at and we prefer to stick with it. We can help with editing your existing logo, but coming up with new concepts and making a new logo is not something we have available. Our editing is extremely limited as well for most files. We ask that logos come to us in a .EPS, .AI, or .PSD file.
Can you incorporate our logo into your design?
Yes, your logo can be incorporated in the design of your banner once you have provided one through our ftp site. You can upload your church logo here.
There are three options that allow you to provide us your ministry logo. You can either send your logo to us through email (info@churchbanners.com), through a share file program like dropbox or yousendit, or through our Upload File page located here.
What file format should I send our logo in?
You can send us your logo (and any other artwork) as an EPS, a PDF, an AI file, or even an high resolution JPG. Check out more information on our Custom Banners page.
Can you make changes to our logo for me?
Yes, changes can be made to your existing logo to the extent that the file will allow and within the time available to edit your logo.
Can I get a double-sided banner?
Yes, we can design a double sided banner to have the same copy or different copy for either side. Once sent to production double-sided banners are only available in vinyl and must be ordered by phone 888.453.0060. Please visit the pricing page for double sided pricing information
What options are available to display my banner?
We have a wide variety of display options for you to choose from. Please visit the Stands & Displays page for more information.
Do I need a display or can I hang it myself?
All of our banners are finished with grommets or pole pockets so that you may display them in any way that you desire. Images of both can be found on our pricing page.
Do you attach my banner to my display for me?
For the safety of preserving the quality of your banner, we ship most of our display's separately. All D2 banner rollup displays come with the graphic attached to the display, but for all other stands the banner will come separately.
I have a display. Can you make a banner to fit the display that I already have?
Yes, we can create a banner for any display that is featured on our site or one that you have. We can design banners and produce them to the inch required. In the case that your display is not featured on our website, we would need the exact dimensions and finishings of the display to make sure we use the suitable material and size for each. Please contact a design representative to discuss the banners needed to fit your custom stand.
