If your artwork includes die-cuts, opaque white ink, or spot UV varnish, these must be set up as named spot colour swatches on a separate page (or as a separate PDF). Do not overlay as a transparency.
| Swatch Name | CMYK Values | Colour Guide |
|---|---|---|
| DIELINE | C10 M100 Y0 K0 | Magenta-dominant pink |

Use this section to calculate the price of any large format print job — banners (flex), vinyl, or SAV. All measurements are in inches or feet.
| Step | What To Do | Worked Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Measure the WIDTH of your print in inches | Width = 72 inches (6 ft) |
| 2 | Measure the HEIGHT of your print in inches | Height = 36 inches (3 ft) |
| 3 | Multiply Width × Height (in feet) to get size in square feet | 6ft × 3ft = 18 sq ft |
| 4 | Multiply your result by your vendor's price per sq ft | 18 × ₦250 = ₦4,500 |
Example prices at a sample rate of ₦250 per square foot. Replace the rate with your actual quoted price.
| Banner Size | Width × Height | Area (sq ft) | Example @ ₦250/sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2ft × 4ft | 24" × 48" | 8 sq ft | ₦2,000 |
| 3ft × 6ft | 36" × 72" | 18 sq ft | ₦4,500 |
| 4ft × 8ft | 48" × 96" | 32 sq ft | ₦8,000 |
| 5ft × 10ft | 60" × 120" | 50 sq ft | ₦12,000 |
| 6ft × 12ft | 72" × 144" | 72 sq ft | ₦18,000 |
| Custom size | Your W" × Your H" | W × H / 144 | Area × your rate |
Note: The rate per square foot varies by material type. Flex/PVC banners, SAV vinyl, and mesh banners each have different rates. Always confirm the price per square foot for your chosen material.
