FAQ
Board questions
What materials are used for billboard printing?
Billboards are printed on heavy-duty vinyl, typically a flexible PVC billboard vinyl or a lighter PE (polyethylene) material for single-use flex faces, with UV-resistant inks. Mesh is used for building wraps and windy locations. Material choice depends on the billboard frame type, display duration, and whether the face needs to be reused.
What artwork specifications are required for a billboard?
Artwork should match the exact face dimensions provided by the billboard owner, including bleed and pocket or hem allowances, and be supplied as a vector PDF or a high-resolution raster file built at a proportional scale. Use CMYK color, keep critical content inside the safe zone, and convert fonts to outlines. Red Bliss provides a template once the frame specs are confirmed.
What resolution should billboard artwork use?
Billboards need far less resolution than close-view graphics because of viewing distance. Artwork built at 10 to 20 percent scale at 150 to 300 DPI, or roughly 15 to 30 DPI at full size, is typical. Vector logos and text are always preferred. Red Bliss reviews files and confirms they will print cleanly at the finished dimensions.
How long does billboard printing take?
Most billboard faces are printed and finished within the standard 2 to 3 business days after proof approval, plus finishing time for pole pockets or hems. Rush production is available depending on schedule and material availability. Installation scheduling with the billboard owner or install crew adds time, so plan the full sequence together.
Can Red Bliss produce replacement billboard vinyl?
Yes. Red Bliss prints replacement faces for existing billboard structures. Provide the frame dimensions, attachment method (pockets, ropes, hems, or grommets), and the current material type so the replacement matches. Bring in the old face or its specs if you have them.
Does Red Bliss install billboard graphics?
Yes, installation is available and is coordinated with the billboard structure owner, since access, lift equipment, and scheduling depend on the site. Red Bliss can also print and hand off to the owner's crew, delivered labeled and finished to their spec. Tell the team which you need when requesting a quote.
How are billboard graphics finished for installation?
Billboard vinyl is finished to match the frame: welded pole pockets, rope hems, grommets, or a combination depending on the structure. Flex-face billboards may use a specific edge treatment for the tensioning system. Red Bliss confirms finishing requirements with the billboard owner's specs before production.
Can you help adapt an existing campaign design to billboard dimensions?
Yes. Red Bliss can resize and rebuild existing campaign artwork for billboard proportions, simplifying the layout for long-distance readability and adjusting resolution for large-format output. Send your source files and the frame dimensions, and the team will produce a proof at the correct scale.
