Family-owned Professional Print & Mail in downtown Fresno is making banners free of charge to local businesses in need of help getting the word out about takeout, delivery, and curbside services.

“The restaurant business is one of the hardest-hit businesses in our community.” — Doug Carlile, owner of Professional Print & Mail

Free Banners for Businesses

Businesses in Fresno and Clovis can receive a free 3-foot by 5-foot or 2-foot by 6-foot banner by going to the Print Fresno website and clicking the “send us a file button.” Follow the steps to upload a logo and the company will then print it and deliver it for free.

The signs normally sell for between $150 and $200.
