Banners do a job that online ads cannot: they put a message in front of people at a specific place, from shop fronts and building sites to sports clubs and parish events. Ireland has plenty of print shops producing them, and materials, finishing and turnaround vary more than most buyers expect.
This shortlist gathers banner printing companies from Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford, with a note on what each one does and who it might suit. It is an editorial starting point, not a league table, so get quotes from two or three before you decide.
#1. Printroom Dublin
First on our shortlist. Printroom Dublin is based at Network Enterprise Park in Ballycrone, Co. Wicklow, handy for Dublin and the east coast despite the city name. Banners are the core of the business, with digital printing and flags alongside, so the usual event, retail and promotional work is covered.
The public rating stands out: 5 out of 5 from 127 Google reviews at the time of writing. A perfect score held across that many reviews is rare in any trade. Print work is often deadline driven, which makes consistency like that more notable still.
If you only want to make one call first, make it this one. It is a business-park unit rather than a high street counter, so jobs start by phone or email. Send over your sizes, quantities, material preference and deadline, then compare the quote and turnaround with one or two others on this list.

#2. Banner Printing | signs, banners, corriboard, vinyls
The name does the describing here: banners, signs, corriboard and vinyls, printed from a unit at Monastery Heath Green in Clondalkin. Corriboard is the corrugated plastic board used for site signage and temporary posters, so the range runs from indoor promotional banners to sturdy outdoor boards. Vinyls cover stickers and window graphics in most print shops, so ask if you need those too.
The Google rating sits at 4.9 out of 5 from 101 reviews, one of the stronger public ratings on this list. For businesses in Clondalkin or anywhere on the west side of Dublin, it is a practical option when banners and signs need to come from the same supplier.
If your job mixes formats, say a PVC banner plus a run of site boards, one printer for the lot saves you coordinating two suppliers and two deadlines. Ask about material weights and finishing when you call, and get the quote in writing.

#3. Dacent Print & Design
Dacent Print & Design pairs digital printing with a graphic design service, which matters if your banner artwork is not print ready. Plenty of buyers have a logo and an idea rather than a finished file, and a printer that handles the design side removes a step. That combination is less common than it should be.
Invitation printing is also listed, which points to wedding and event stationery alongside commercial work. The shop sits on Corn Market Street in the centre of Cork, easy to reach on foot from most of the city. The public rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 107 Google reviews. Cork has two entries on this list, and Dacent is the first of them.
A good fit if you want design and print from the same desk rather than briefing a designer and a printer separately. Bring a rough brief, ask to see a proof, and confirm sizes and materials before anything goes to print.
- Rating: 4.9/5 (107 Google reviews)
- Address: 2 Corn Market St, Centre, Cork, T12 E085

#4. Jaycee Print
Galway has two entries on this shortlist, and Jaycee Print is the first: a commercial and digital printer on Abbeygate Street Upper, in the middle of the city’s shopping streets. Graphic design is part of the service, so artwork help is available if your file is not ready for print.
The review count is the largest on this list: 4.8 out of 5 from 151 Google reviews at the time of writing. A high score held across that many jobs is a reasonable sign of consistency, and consistency is what you want from a printer.
Commercial printing covers more than banners, so this is a useful option if your order includes other items at the same time, from posters to business stationery. The central address makes collection straightforward for anyone in Galway city or county. For event work, confirm the turnaround before you commit.
- Rating: 4.8/5 (151 Google reviews)
- Address: 34 Abbeygate Street Upper, Galway, H91 TYN8

#5. Polyprint Limited
For a Limerick city centre option, Polyprint is a general print shop on Catherine Street, a short walk from the main shopping area. Limerick has two businesses on this list, and Polyprint is the first. The listing is a broad one, so describe the banner you need when you call: size, material, indoor or outdoor use, and quantity.
The public rating is 3.8 out of 5 from 32 Google reviews, a smaller sample than most others on this list. Read a few of the most recent reviews yourself, and let the quote and the conversation guide you rather than the number alone.
For buyers who want a printer they can visit in person, it is worth including in the round of calls. Two or three written quotes for the same spec will tell you more than any rating can, and a city centre address makes dropping in a file easy. Ask about turnaround and finishing at the same time.
- Rating: 3.8/5 (32 Google reviews)
- Address: 7 Catherine St, Prior’s-Land, Limerick, V94 HC43
- Phone: +35361311375
#6. Suirdzign
Suirdzign is a banner and flag store on Patrick Street in Waterford city, with custom t-shirt printing alongside. That mix suits clubs, schools and event organisers, who often need banners, flags and printed clothing for the same occasion. Flags and banners share the same large format printing kit, so the pairing makes sense.
The public rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 146 Google reviews, one of the strongest combinations of score and volume on this shortlist. Patrick Street is central, so calling in to talk through a job is easy if you are local. Waterford has two businesses on this list, and Suirdzign is the first.
If you are ordering for a team or an event, ask about bundling the banner with the rest of the print order. One supplier for the lot means one proof, one deadline and one collection, which is simpler to manage when the event date is fixed. Get the quote in writing so you can compare it fairly.
- Rating: 4.9/5 (146 Google reviews)
- Address: 29 Patrick St, Waterford, X91 AK54

#7. Dolphin Print
Dolphin Print is a general print business on Old County Road in Crumlin, Dublin 12. The listed services run wider than banners: bookbinding, copier repair and greeting cards are all part of the mix. That points to a generalist print shop rather than a banner-only operation.
Because banners are not the headline category, describe your job clearly when you call: size, material, finishing and deadline. Confirm that your spec is in scope before you commit. The public rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 72 Google reviews, a decent base of feedback for a neighbourhood print business.
For businesses in Crumlin, Walkinstown and the south west of the city, the location is convenient. The wider service list also helps if your order includes binding or copying alongside the banner itself. One supplier for several small jobs is often easier than splitting the work.
- Rating: 4.5/5 (72 Google reviews)
- Address: 105C Old County Rd, Crumlin, Dublin, D12 RX79

#8. Quality Print
Cork has two businesses on this shortlist, and Quality Print is the second: a commercial printer on Union Quay with bookbinding and custom t-shirt printing also on the service list. That spread suits orders that mix a banner with other printed items for the same event or launch. Union Quay is an easy walk from the main shopping streets.
The public rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 31 Google reviews, a smaller sample than some here. Read a few recent reviews yourself for the fuller picture. As with any printer, a short conversation about materials, finishing and timing will tell you most of what you need to know.
The quayside address helps if you would rather approve a proof in person than by email. Ask for a written quote so you can compare like with like against the other Cork option on this list. For event work with a fixed date, confirm turnaround before you commit.
- Rating: 4.1/5 (31 Google reviews)
- Address: 5 Union Quay, Ballintemple, Cork, T12 WPY9

#9. Cantec Print & Design
Cantec Print & Design keeps things central on Merchants Road in Galway, a short walk from Eyre Square. The name covers both print and design, so ask about artwork help if your banner file is not finished.
The public rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 50 Google reviews, a solid base of feedback for a city centre shop. That is enough reviews to show a pattern. Galway has two entries on this list, and Cantec is the second of them.
A central location is genuinely useful for print: you can drop in a file, look at material samples and collect the finished banner without waiting on a courier. If you are based in or around the city, add them to your round of calls. Ask about turnaround before you commit, especially if the banner is for a fixed date.
- Rating: 4.7/5 (50 Google reviews)
- Address: 12, 12 Merchants Rd, Galway, H91 NX58
- Phone: +35391565156

#10. Print Hub Services
Liddy Street in the centre of Limerick is home to Print Hub Services, a commercial and digital printer with a photo agency also listed. Commercial printing is the main line, with digital printing alongside. Photo work demands careful colour and sharp detail, which is no bad thing in a banner printer.
The public rating is a perfect 5 out of 5, though from only 4 Google reviews so far. Treat that as an early signal rather than a track record, and let the quote and the conversation do the deciding.
The central address makes it easy to call in with a file or collect a finished job. If you are comparing printers in Limerick, this one is worth including in the round. Limerick has two businesses on this list, and Print Hub is the second. As with any newer listing, ask about materials and turnaround before you commit.

#11. Design Print House
Design Print House combines a graphic design service with a sign shop in Ballybricken, in the centre of Waterford. Signage and banners overlap heavily, so this is a natural port of call if your job straddles both. Waterford has two businesses on this shortlist, and this is the second.
The design side is useful if you are starting from a rough idea rather than a finished file. A designer can also advise on sizes and layouts that read well at a distance, which is where many homemade banners fall short. The public rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 25 Google reviews.
Ballybricken is walkable from most of the city centre, so calling in to talk through a job is straightforward. Ask to see a proof, and confirm the material and finishing before anything goes to print. For Waterford buyers who want design and print handled together, it is a sensible one to include.
- Rating: 4.6/5 (25 Google reviews)

What should you check before ordering a banner?
Start with where the banner will hang. Indoor banners can use lighter materials, while outdoor banners need PVC or mesh that copes with wind and rain. Measure the space before you call, and think about viewing distance: text that reads well at two metres can disappear at twenty.
Then check the finishing. Eyelets, reinforced hems and pole pockets decide how the banner mounts, and the wrong choice can make a good print useless. Ask about artwork too: most printers want a print ready PDF or vector file, and many offer design help if you only have a logo and a rough idea.
Get two or three written quotes and compare like with like. Material, finishing, design time, delivery and VAT should all be itemised, so you can see exactly what each price covers.
Which banner material should you choose?
PVC vinyl is the default for most banners. It is tough, prints well and suits both indoor and outdoor use. For short indoor jobs, lighter materials can be cheaper and easier to hang.
Mesh is the choice for exposed outdoor sites. Tiny holes in the material let wind pass through, which matters on scaffolding, fences and anywhere a solid banner would act like a sail. Fabric banners suit indoor events and retail spaces, where a softer finish photographs better than glossy vinyl.
If you are not sure, describe the location and the weather exposure to the printer and take their advice. The material decision matters more than most buyers expect, and getting it wrong usually means ordering twice.
What affects the price of banner printing?
Size is the obvious factor, but material, finishing and quantity move the price too. A single large outdoor banner with reinforced hems costs more per metre than a run of small indoor ones. Design time is usually charged separately if the printer creates the artwork for you.
Turnaround can change the quote as well. A job needed tomorrow may carry a rush charge, while a flexible deadline gives the printer room to schedule your work efficiently. Always ask what the quote includes, because design, eyelets, delivery and VAT are the items most often left out of a headline figure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get a banner printed in Ireland?
For a standard banner with print ready artwork, many printers turn jobs around in a few working days. Design work, proofing and delivery add time, so flag your deadline at the start. If the banner is for a fixed date, ask for the turnaround in writing before you pay a deposit.
What file do I need to give a banner printer?
Most printers ask for a print ready PDF or a vector file such as AI or EPS, set up in CMYK colour. Photos and logos should be high resolution, because images that look fine on a phone can blur at banner size. If you have no artwork, many printers offer a design service, so ask when you request the quote.
Can a printed banner be used outside?
Yes, if the material and finishing suit the site. PVC vinyl handles rain well, while mesh banners let wind through and are the safer choice for fences, scaffolding and exposed walls. Ask for reinforced hems and eyelets, and tell the printer where the banner will hang so they can advise on the right specification.
How much does banner printing cost in Ireland?
There is no standard price, because size, material, quantity, finishing and design work all change the figure. The reliable route is to get two or three written quotes for the same spec and compare what each one includes, particularly design time, eyelets, delivery and VAT. A like for like comparison matters more than the headline number.
What size banner should I order?
Measure the space first, then think about viewing distance. A banner read from across a road needs far larger text than one seen up close in a shop. Keep the message short and the lettering bold, and send the printer a photo of the site if you can. Most will advise on proportions once they know where the banner will hang.
