Temporary signage does not mean low quality. Banners, flags, retractable displays, and yard signs are often the most visible marketing a local business deploys — at storefronts, events, job sites, and community locations where the audience is present and moving. Sign Pros of Knoxville produces temporary and portable signage in-house with the same print quality and material standards we apply to permanent installations. Fast turnaround, consistent color, and graphics built to hold up in East Tennessee weather.
Temporary and Portable Signage We Produce
Vinyl Banners
13-ounce vinyl banner material is the standard for outdoor banners at events, storefronts, fences, and temporary installations. We print full-color banners in-house to any size, with hemmed edges and grommets placed for your specific mounting situation. Indoor fabric banners for trade shows, retail environments, and event backdrops use a lighter substrate with a richer finish than standard vinyl — same print quality, appropriate material for the application. Rush turnaround available.
Retractable Banner Stands
Retractable banners are the workhorse of trade show and event marketing — portable, easy to set up, and visible in any venue. We produce the printed graphic and can supply the hardware or print for your existing stands. Standard single-sided retractable at 33 by 80 inches is the most common format. Wide-format and double-sided configurations available. If you are running a consistent trade show presence, we keep your file on record and reprint on demand when the graphic needs updating.
Feather Flags and Swooper Flags
Feather flags at a storefront or event entrance are movement marketing — they catch attention in a way that static signage does not. We produce flag graphics in-house on dye-sublimated fabric that holds color through outdoor exposure and repeated handling. Hardware sets include ground stakes, cross bases, and weighted water-fill bases depending on your installation surface. Single flags, matched sets, and custom shapes available.
A-Frame and Pavement Signs
A-frame sidewalk signs positioned at a storefront entrance or near a road are the most direct conversion tool available to a retail or service business. A customer walking past who sees a relevant offer or menu item is more likely to stop than one who sees nothing. We produce printed inserts for standard A-frame hardware and can supply the frames as well. Changeable insert systems let you swap messaging seasonally without replacing the frame.
Yard Signs and Corrugated Plastic Signs
Yard signs on 4mm corrugated plastic with wire H-stakes are the standard for political campaigns, real estate, contractor job sites, and community events. We print yard signs in-house in standard and custom sizes — single-sided and double-sided. Minimum quantities are lower than most print houses because we are running the equipment ourselves. For contractors using yard signs as job site marketing, we offer fleet pricing on repeat orders.
Event Backdrops and Step-and-Repeat Displays
Event backdrops for photo opportunities, sponsor walls, and stage dressing are large-format fabric or vinyl prints on pipe-and-drape or retractable frame systems. We produce the printed graphic and can supply hardware for self-standing installations. Standard step-and-repeat at 8 by 8 feet is the most common format. Custom sizes for specific stage or venue dimensions available with lead time.
Turnaround and Production
All temporary signage is produced in-house. Standard turnaround for most banner and flag orders is two to three business days from approved proof. Rush production is available — contact us with your deadline when requesting a quote. Because we print in-house, we can accommodate last-minute additions to an order without the lead time a print broker would require.
