SHIPPING

We deliver products nationally and have integrated our workflow to include various popular courier companies to accommodate with the coverage required. Freight costs are influenced by the size, weight and value of each product as well as the location and geographical status.

Being a third party service, we offer our clients the benefit of organising their  own couriers too. Our Clients simply need to send us the Consignment Note and we will affix the information to their packages, ready for collection from our warehouse.

Express services are available nationally. Pricing is subject to location, size of order and times requested. Pricing of products and Freight will be subject to additional charges accordingly.

The majority of our inhouse services and products are manufactured and ready for despatch or collection within 24 to 72 hours. The products you have ordered would generally have the production estimates stated. Upon making your purchase, your invoice should also state the estimated despatch or collection time for your product. This may of course vary based on size and quantities as well as stock levels.

Despatch refers to the term where your order has left/is leaving our warehouse where as delivery refers to the time where your item(s) are actually received.

As a local company, we predominantly offer local and national services to our clients, however, on request and once vetted, we may offer international shipping  services. Our customers are welcome to organise their own international freight. We will provide your with all packaging information and all we need in return is the information for the freight which includes payment, consignment note, delivery information, and contact details for the receiver/Sender.

All our parcels are sent with ATL (Authority To Leave) which means that if you are not home, the courier serice will leave the parcel onsite in a safe place. 

The only time there will not be ATL with your parcel is when and if you have requested no ATL. 

If you are not home, the Courier Service will leave a Note to let you know that they have attempted delivery. You will be given the choice to collect from their nomiated "collection point" or if redelivery is organised, there will be fees associated with the cost of the redelivery.

You will be receiving regular updates from us and our Courier Service Provider. The updates will include an updated delivery timie bracket for you to know when the parcel(s) will be coming. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are home or make arrangements with the Courier Service to change the date and time as required. The Drivers simply cannot ring everyone to see if they are home for delivery. It is not a service that is available unfortunately. Some Services in some areas may offer you the courteousy of a call if they know you but this presents as a rare event. 

It is our intention to provide our customers with products and solutions that meet their expectations and hold true for meeting the specifications stated on our website. All risk of loss or damage to the products are passed over to the customer once we have despatched our products. The Customer must discuss the loss or damage with the Courier Service Responsible for the loss or damage.

In working with you in creating your artwork, we provide you with a lot of flexibility and ideas.

We can and will provide you with a range of professional sites that we hold memberships with to allow you to find exactly what you want. 

Some images hold licencing and are sold on the market. We can assist you in securing the right image(s) for the right price.

When you purchase a product on our online store, you have the option to either:
  1. Upload your own artwork when you check-out
  2. Design your own artwork using our online editor OR by downloading one of our art templates
  3. OR, you can get our friendly and experienced in-house design team to assist
When yousupply or upload an artwork, this artwork will ALWAYS go to our design team to be ‘pre-pressed’.
 
What do we mean by pre-press?
Pre-press literally means work done ‘before printing’ and this is where we take your artwork and ensure that:
  1. It fits the design template for the product you are purchasing and is the correct size
  2. It is high resolution and WON’T be pixelated at full size
  3. There is NO text within any safe areas, that may run the risk of being cut off
  4. There is suitable bleed or hemming allowance, depending on your requirements
  5. It has all the required elements for the specific finishing you have requested (For Example. If you have requested a pocket, we ensure that your design allows for this AND that we include a fold & stitch line for production to be able to produce accurately)
However, through this pre-press process we DO NOT:
  • Proof-read your design to check for spelling mistakes
  • Make changes or alterations to the layout of your design (without your consent)
  • Re-position any sections of your design (without your consent)
We trust when you have uploaded your design, you have checked your design for these components before uploading and are happy with what you have supplied. Our job is to simply ensure it is suitable for print.
 
IF your artwork is suitable and ticks all the pre-pressing boxes (YAY - go you!), then upon payment, your artwork is sent to production.
 
We will ONLY get in touch with you IF there is an issue with your artwork, because we want to ensure you end up with the best possible finished product.
 
For example: if it is the wrong size, or it is pixelated, our design team will reach out to let you know and offer some options:
  1. We will outline what needs to be fixed and you or your design team can amend & re-supply the artwork accordingly
  2. OR, we offer to fix this for you and outline the cost or requirements to complete this before the artwork printing begins
Our team works hard to ensure that ALL products we print are produced to a high standard and that our customers will be satisfied with the finished quality. Rest assured that if we think your artwork won’t print well, we will ALWAYS let you know.

If you used Canva to create your design & would like assistance amending, re-sizing or exporting, you are more than welcome to add our team as a 'collaborator' to enable us to access your design. To do so, please add sales@20twenty.net as a collaborator.

You can always remove the collaborator access once the job is complete.

PULL-UP BANNERS

Pullup banner stands are also known as roller banners, rectactable banners, roller banners, or pull up banner. They are an important resource for any exhibitor looking to stand-out at an exhibition or trade show. They are often used to make a big impact in your shop or place of business as a great addition to your point of sale material.

The most popular pull up banner in Australia is 850mm wide and 2,000mm tall. Pull up banners avialable are as small as A4 (210x297mm) and as large as 3,000mm wide by 2,400mm tall. The standard pull up banner for shopping centres are limited to 1,500mm in height due to shopping centre restrictions in Australia. Choose a size that suits the purpose intended for, remembering that you need to get them from A to B.

In looking at hundreds of designs every month, the same basic process is used for the design of the pull up banner.

  1. Keep the logos bright but not overpowering with the logo position in the top quarter of the pull up banner.
  2. High-quality and vector images need to be used to ensure print reproduction is optimised and should be place in centre quarters
  3. Make good use of text and spacing without crowding. The least there is the better it is. Use text and fonts that are grabbing
  4. Keep less important content to the bottom quarter of the pull up banner.

Roller Banners are simple to use. The printed banner is rolled up and attached to a Spring loaded base and is designed to simply pull up out of the base and rolls back into the base, similarly to spring loaded curtains. The Top Bar of the pull up banner stops the poster from retracting into the base. Once erected, the base's feet are extended at 90 degrees to the base and the tall pole is positioned to secure the banner up.

Bannerworld produces all the pullup banners inhouse. We also use some of the quickest, safest and most reliable printers available on the market, followed by really strict internal processes to ensure that we can get your banners out as quickly as possible. 

  • 1 to 15 pullup banners - 24 hours
  • 16 to 50 pullup banners - 48 hours
  • 50+ pullup banners - Calls Bannerworld to discuss how many you require and when you need them for.

We have chosen a wide range of pull-up banners to suit different purposes, environments and personal choices as well as budgets.  Ultimately, the pull-up banner is used for displaying your brand, promotion, products or solutions, however they are all designed with a specific purpose in mind.

  • Silver Class - The pullup banners make up for 75% of all pull-up banners sold in Australia. They are the cheapest in our range and generally use for short term promotions and events
  • Gold Class - Aesthetically pleasing and structuraly very sound, the Gold Class banner looks the part. Majority of buyers looking to opromote their brand or luxury products choose this pull-up. This pull-up banner is generally found in lobbies, schools, foyers and showrooms. 
  • Platinum Class - The industry's heavyweight and the best you can buy. This style of pull-up banner has been designed to stand the test of time and built for the long haul. Having a wider base, a stronger built-in mechanism, this pull-up banner is perfect for anyone looking for a long term option. This banner is often found in high foot traffic area as it is loved by OH&S Managers as it simply will not topple or fall, it is insanely well grounded. Many of the customers who purchase these are event companies, hospitals, shopping centres, and hotels to name a few.
  • Outdoor pullup - Made from all the strongest materials to wistand the harshest of weather conditions. Still stylish enough to work indoors too

We do offer a reskin service for our customers who have previously purchased a pullup banner and looking to change the print to a new print. 
If you purchase a budget pullup banner and looking to reskin, it may not be worth it as the low cost of purchase of our Silver Class Pullup Banners is so close to the reskin cost. If you spent over $150 for your pullup banner then may be it is worth it. 
All you need to do in order for us to reskin your banner is to get it to us. We can organise a courier service too. Once we receive it, we will be able to let you know whether your pullup banner is in a good condition, good enough to be reskined.

Our customers supply us with Print Ready Artwork. If the artwork is set up correctly, there are no reasons for us to charge our customers any extra. If our customers do not have Print Ready Artwork, we have a design studio who charges a small fee for design work (Design Fees and Charges) and will not charge you for multiple artworks. The fees are very respectable and have no hidden extras.

A-Frames are designed for the outdoors but they can act as a big sail in heavy wind conditions. It is always recommended to secure your A-Frame in the event you have big winds but also to stop anyone from stealing them too. You can tie them to a pole or use some heavy weights or even better, invest a little more in your A-Frame and get our heavy-duty outdoor A-Frame which comes with a solid base with super strong wheels that can be filled with sand or water for the additional weight without compromising on style.

We do also have some A-frames, specifically designed for that reason, simply call our team and they will point you in the right direction.

We carry many A-frames in order to cater to most customers and environments. When it comes to getting some advice on which best suits your operations, simply call our office or see below for a quick guide into which may best suit you:

  • Budget A-frame - Anytime you want to change your promotion or message, simply slide in a new sign and you are up and running again

  • Deluxe A-frame - Same A-frame as the Budget A-frame however has a panel at the top of the frame that can better secure your inserts

  • Snap A-frame - Posters can be inserted and protected by a thin clear pvc top sheet to keep your signs looking fresh for longer

  • Heavy duty Snap A-frame - Same as the standard A-frame however comes mounted on a solid spring loaded water base and can be used in any weather condition (wind, snow, hail, shine)

  • Steel A-Frame - Probably the most popular A-frame on the market as it is constructed with some of the best materials and is pairly heavy in weight

  • Chalkboard - Mostly used by Cafes and Restaurants where you can chalk your messaage as often as you want

  • Real Estate Enduro Signs - Widely used by the real estate industry as they are portable and easy to use whilst affordable and versatile.

  • Evarite A-frame - Another Real Estate Product, similar to the enduro sign yet more innovative and more durable

  • Pavement sign - A good alternative to the A-frame as it requires a smaller footprint on the pavement and can display your design using any shape you prefer

  • Breezebuster - A hybrid of the Pavement Sign and the Snap Frame. It is solidly built and engineered to withstand heavy wind areas by having a swivel top holding your message/sign.

  • Rite Ezysign - Ideal for temporary and permanent signage when you have a sign of a particular size that you prefer as opposed to having a standard size. This is more of a custom signage solution.

PROMOTIONAL FLAGS

Flags come in all shapes and sizes and are all designed for promotions. Visit our Promotional Flags page to find a flag that may suit your purpose.

  • Teardrop Flags - Designed best for single logo and tag line

  • Bow Flags - Best used when promoting something that requires a lot more than just a logo and a tag line

  • Rectangle Flags - Commonly used when customers require a message and multiple options for promotions but still the best for way finding when only a simple text (but large) is used. 

  • Retail Point of Sale flags - Mostly found at the front of a high-street store for self promotion. Often used to promote "open" or a single product such as "coffee", "Food inside", or where you can find a brand in demand like "Coke" or "Streets" ice cream. 

  • Bunting Flags - Often rectangle or triangles on a string, often promoting a brand or an event.

  • Pole Flags: Classic and never go our of style. Generally used for organisations to display their brands outside their premises. High users of Pole Flags are Schools, Corporate headquarters, international hotels and community groups.

  • Hand flags - More often than not, these flags are designed for support of a cause or brand. You'll often see these carried by sports fans supporting their colours.

  • Street Flags - Mostly used by Corporate Agencies, Event Companies or Government Departments such as local area councils. They are large and generally tend to promote major events or welcome visitors.

Flags in their nature are all different in price. You can expect to pay as little as $90 for flags requiring hardware (such as the flag, flag pole and accessory to stand them up) whilst other flags that do not required hardware can be much cheaper. The price really comes down to the size, the shape and the quantity you need to order. You can visit our webpage for flags to determine the price of the flags you need or simply contact our office and speak to one of our friendly customer service representatives who could advise you which flag may be best for your application and how much they would be too. 

Depending on budget and requirements, flags are all made using different methods. The most popular flags today would be the single sided and double sided flags which are made using the latest in polyester fabrics and silver coated satin for extra longevity. These budget flags tend to be printed using a dye sublimation process where the artwork is printed on a transfer paper and then heated to adhere to the polyester or polymer fabrics.As the colours are laid down as opposed to "dots" being printed on the fabric, the colours and quality is higher in resolution but also provide you with a quality that is less vulnerable to fading and image distortion. We do now also offer a Direct Print option for short term, fast turn around where the latest in Latex inks are used to embed the fabric. The best and more expensive process for printing flags tends to be the Screen Printing methods where the ink colours are layered and embed themelves to the fabric. Very costly for small quantities of flags however much cheaper for extremely large quantities as a lot of the costs are in the setting up process.

Common flags such as Supporter flags, retail flags, pole flags and other promotional flags are all pretty standard in size however all different from one style to the next. Being custom products, as a customer, you can pretty much choose from having the standard sizes or one of your own. 

Outdoor flags are used to withstand most normal weather conditions however must be taken inside in extreme conditions. We have had many customers call us to organise replacement poles as they can and may break during extreme winds. Despite being tested in harsh environments and being engineered to withstand strong winds, they are still not built to take on extreme weather conditions. When you know there is a storm brewing or gale force winds coming, bring your flags in or you will be at risk of having to replace your flags. Flags are there to assist you in promoting your brand. The best way to keep your flags flying and working for you is to look after them, just like your favourite garments. No need to leave them at night or outside in storms, no-one is going to see them. Flags are there to catch people's attention when they are around. The more you look after them, the longer they will last. 

All the flags have a different way of being erected. Visit the page of the flag you have purchased and under the product images, you will see an icon that represents the instructions for assembly. Click on the text or icon that is called "assembly instructions" and you will be redirected to an assembly instructions document. We do also have links to assembly videos for some of our flags to make it easier for you to assemble. 

We pride ourselves on providing quality flags for big or small budgets, so regardless of which option you choose, you will end up with a wonderful flag.

However, you may have noticed that we offer different grades of fabric for our flags. These grades are; Budget, Premium and Luxury.

The main difference between the budget, premium & luxury options is the feel, colour pigmentation of the fabric and how long the flag lasts.

The budget flag option is made using a heavier and cheaper material and has a lower resolution due to the weave of the fabric. While it is still a quality fabric it is better used for short term or one off purposes.

The premium silver satin option is made using a dual layer silver satin, that is lighter, stronger and more durable. The fabric has a bright and rich pigmentation, making it good for reproduction of images or designs. If you are using your flag outdoors regularly, the premium option will offer a longer lasting and high quality fabric suitable for this purpose. 

The luxury option is designed for indoor use and is made using a single layer fused fabric. This fabric has a luxury velvet like finish, however, is for indoor use only.

We hope this helps you in your decision.

There are so many different variables that impact the lifespan of your flag. From location, to weather, to UV exposure, to regularity of use. All these factors come into play. A flag that is used 24 hours a day, is obviously going to wear out quicker than a flag that is used once a week.

Our TOP 5 Flag Maintenance tips to help you get the MOST out of your flags:

1. Choose a Quality Product!

This sounds like a pretty obvious tip, however, it is essential to start by ensuring that the flag that you purchase is made from quality materials.
Always check the webbing, the eyelets, the stitching, and the overall finishing.
Furthermore, ask about the quality of the fabric. For single sided flags a 115g knitted polyester fabric provides suitable strength and durability. However, if you a looking for something extra to ensure the longevity of your flag a Doubled sided 115g twin layer made from 100% polyester with an additional blockout layer in the centre, provided additional durability. Finally, the top-of-the-line fabric for durability and aesthetic is the premium 190g silver coated satin block out, providing a quality finish and ensuring durability.
 

2. Location, location, location!
Where you intend to fly your flags has A LOT to do with the flag’s longevity. If the location you have selected is a high wind area, you may find the flags wear out faster. If possible, our advice is to choose a location that provides you with plenty of brand exposure and visibility but isn’t too exposed to direct sunlight or high winds. Ultraviolet rays and high winds cause the breakdown of the fibres in the flags, particularly the sewn edges at the extremities. The pigment in the inks used also tend to breakdown, making your flags fade over time. Hence, taking the time to consider a suitable location can make a BIG difference!

3. Be aware of the weather conditions!
It is always advised that where possible, your flags are taken down before storms, or extreme winds. If flags are left out in these kinds of extreme weather conditions, it can significantly impact the longevity of your flag fabric and hardware, particularly the pole set. If your flag does happen to get wet, it should be laid flat and allowed to dry before the next use to avoid mildew.

 

4. Bring them inside when not in use!
Where possible, we encourage businesses to bring their flags indoors when not in use. By doing this, you are protecting the flags from unnecessary over exposure to the outdoor elements. While the flags are designed for outdoor purposes, being mindful of their exposure can ensure a longer lifespan.

 

5. Clean them with care!
If your flag is looking a bit dirty, you can most certainly freshen it up by giving it a wash. You can wash your flag by simply putting it in the washing machine on a cold wash with half the detergent you would normally use and some fabric softener. Do NOT tumble dry, simply hang it up on the clothesline and wait for it to be completely dry before packing it up.

FABRICS

Ensure to clean your fabric prints with care. If your banner or flag is looking a bit dirty, you can most certainly freshen it up by giving it a wash. You can wash your flag by simply putting it in the washing machine on a cold wash with half the detergent you would normally use and some fabric softener. Do NOT tumble dry, simply hang it up on the clothesline and wait for it to be completely dry before packing it up.

POSTERS

Posters can be used for a range of applications and are all of different sizes and materials. The price on posters will be dependable on the quantity you may require, the style you require, the size and material you need.

We have set up a few different standard poster sizes that our customers generally prefer. Posters can start as small as an A4 and can be as large as 3.2 meters in width. The choice is yours. We have set up different templates for you to choose the size that may be more appropriate to your use on the poster page.

We are running the latest in large format printing equipment and have incorporated the latest in software to allow us to print as few as one poster and as many as hundreds in a 24 hour period. Providing you place your order before 2pm on any given day between Monday to Friday, your poster or posters will be dispatched or made available for collection the following day at 4:30pm.

Posters are intended to be used indoor or outdoor. One would not use the same material when exposed to the elements outside as opposed to a poster that neatly sits on a wall in a shop. Likewise, you would not want to have a paper poster in a restaurant or fish and chip shop as it will quickly deteriorate and will need to be replaced quickly. We offer a wide range of different media available for a wide range of applications and environments. If unsure, it is always best to speak to our friendly customer service team as they can steer you in the right direction.

We use the latest in Latex print technology and inks using the CMYK profile, giving you bright high resolution graphics. Colour is not an issue. We do also offer a "colour matching" service so that we can get as close as possible to the colour you desire.

Most of the media used today does not require lamination as the media has incredible anti-curl properties and are also tear and scratch resistant. In the past, you needed to laminate posters because there was no "substitutes" to paper. Today, the technology allows for us to be able to use a super wide range of materials based on the different uses customers require. Today, the only people who still laminate are the old school printers who do not have the newest in technology.

If you are supplying print ready artwork or choosing our online designer for multiple designs, we do not charge any extra for multiple designs. We work with our customers and do not charge any hidden fees or extras. The price on our website is the price you pay, whether it'd be one design or 100 designs.  Should you not have print ready artwork, we will work with you in defining how much time in would take to get your artwork print ready and a small fee may be charged for the time we need to take to make your artwork print ready. You will know before you commit to making your purchase. 

If you are only buying one or a few, the posters will be packed in a carboard box, cut to the size of your rolled posters. This will ensure that your posters are not damaged in transit. If you are buying a lot of posters, we will work with you in defining how you best like the posters to be packed. We have larger boxes, crates and pallets too. 

MEDIA WALLS

We can produce Ezyskinz Stretch Fabric media walls in 5-7 working days from artwork approval and payment.

Media backdrops using our telescopic frames and vinyl banners can be produced in as little as 24 hours from artwork approval.
 

Your media wall package will be supplied with all frame components, feet, fabric skin and carry bag. Any other accessories ordered including lights will also be included in your package.

If a package is not required, parts can be purchased separately.

We do not recommend using your media wall outdoors unless against a wall or structure like a full stage set up to prevent it catching wind as it will act like a sail and easily blow over.
You could use sandbags on the feet or the frame can be secured with ties to a support, however we cannot guarantee this would work and advise against it.

If using your media wall outdoors and it gets wet, ensure it is fully dry before storing.

As we use a wrinkle free polyester, most creases should be eliminated when stretched over the frame.
If you need to remove creases further, we recommend using a steamer. It is also possible to use a warm iron but it is important that you use an ironing cloth so that the iron does not come in contact with the fabric.

If your media wall is looking a bit dirty, you can freshen it up by giving it a wash. You can wash your media wall skin by simply putting it in the washing machine on a cold wash with half the detergent you would normally use and some fabric softener. Do NOT tumble dry, simply hang it up on the clothesline and wait for it to be completely dry before packing it up.
Wipe the frame down with a soft cloth and mild detergent if required.

Our Stretch Fabric Media Walls are printed on our high quality 260g soft knitted stretch polyester fabric material or our popular 300g blockout tension fabric.
Both fabrics have a non-glare matte finish making it perfect for event backdrops and photography.

Stretch Fabric Media Wall

To set up your media wall, the frame pieces are easily interlocked together with the corresponding piece to form the frame. The fabric banner is then stretched over the frame.

COASTERS

Drink coasters are often seen in the hospitality industry, more so in pubs and clubs but also in the home. They are ideal to protect the surface of a table or furniture and designed to reduce heat, freeze and moisture damage. 

Generally, coasters come in a Square shape with straight or rounded corners and also often seen as circles. The average drink coaster is generally 95 or 96mm in width and height and they are generally anywhere between 0.8 and 1mm in thickness. Coasters were originally designed to fit under a mug, cup or glass and therefore have a surface area a little larger than the standard cup sizes available. If you are prepared to do something really different and have a bigger budget, you can get beer coasters in any shape you wish. If you wanted to make your drink coaster in the shape of a pig, then we are up for the challenge.

Friedrich Horm, a german printing company, is recognised for having produced the first disposable "beermart" around 1,880. It was however pattented later by Robert Sputh, another German who saw a financial benefit to pattenting the drink coaster. It really was not widely used until the early 1900's when the United Kingdom adopted them across pubs in the Uk for Watney Brewery to promote the ever popular Pale Ale.
