How We Ship Banners to Tokyo Big Sight in Under 48 Hours

Tokyo Big Sight runs back-to-back exhibitions every week. Here is how Print Japan has built a same-week banner delivery system that works for last-minute exhibitors.

How We Ship Banners to Tokyo Big Sight in Under 48 Hours

Tokyo Big Sight, officially the Tokyo International Exhibition Center, handles over 200 events per year. With halls spread across 240,000 square metres, it is one of the busiest convention venues in Asia — and one of the most logistically demanding places to deliver printed materials.

The Problem: Last-Minute Orders Are Common

Most exhibition veterans will admit: someone on the team always leaves the banner order too late. Files arrive at the printer three days before setup, or artwork gets approved the night before. In these situations, standard print lead times of 5–7 business days are useless.

We built our 48-hour banner service specifically for this scenario.

How the 48-Hour Process Works

Day 0 – File received before 10am: We review your artwork, check bleed and resolution, and send a digital proof the same afternoon.

Day 0 – Proof approved before 3pm: Your file enters the print queue that evening. We use digital large-format printing for rush orders, which allows same-day setup without the plate preparation needed for offset.

Day 1 – Print and finish: Banners are printed, trimmed, eyelets or pole pockets added, and rolled for delivery.

Day 2 – Courier dispatch: We dispatch via same-day or next-morning courier to Tokyo Big Sight's receiving dock. We include all required delivery labels — hall number, company name, booth number, exhibition name.

What You Need to Supply

  • Artwork in PDF or AI format (300 dpi minimum for large format)
  • Exact banner dimensions (width × height in mm)
  • Your booth number and hall
  • The name of the exhibition
  • A contact number for the delivery

That is it. Contact us via WhatsApp or the quote form with this information and we will get back to you within the hour on business days.

Pricing for Rush Orders

Rush orders carry a 20–30% surcharge on standard rates, depending on the timeline. For sizes and pricing, see our banners and roll-up banners product pages.
