Flex Printing Price in Nepal: Per-Sq-Ft Rates and Checklist
Quick answer: Public Nepal vendor pages checked on 10 November 2026 state flex banner starting prices of NPR 20/sq ft and NPR 35/sq ft. They do not use a complete matching specification, and one page has conflicting figures, so treat them as vendor snapshots—not a verified market range or a finished-banner quote.
In Nepal, a search for “flex printing” commonly means wide-format banner/signage printing. Price per square foot can be a useful starting unit, but the final amount may include material choice, minimum charge, trimming, hems, eyelets, pockets, frame, mounting, installation, tax, and delivery.

Glow N Sign’s guide says standard flex starts at NPR 20 per sq ft and describes that as print-only; finishing is separate. Its banner FAQ gives different normal-flex starting figures and a broader NPR 25–80 range depending on material, which makes the site’s public figures internally inconsistent. Digital Madhesh lists flex printing from NPR 35 per sq ft, with size and material affecting the final price. See Glow N Sign’s guide, its banner FAQ, and Digital Madhesh pricing.
These are individual vendor statements. No cross-vendor specification, tax status, minimum area, or finishing schedule was consistently provided. Do not average them and call the result the Nepal rate.
Calculate the printed area
For a rectangular banner, multiply width by height using the same unit. Example: a 3 ft × 6 ft panel has 18 sq ft of face area. At a hypothetical posted print-only rate of NPR 20/sq ft, the arithmetic subtotal is NPR 360 before any minimum charge, finishing, tax, delivery, or installation. This is a calculation example based on a listed starting rate, not a supplier quotation or promise that the job can be ordered at that total.
Confirm whether the vendor rounds to a minimum area, charges for waste/bleed, or prices by finished panel dimensions. For non-rectangular shapes or multiple panels, ask how billable area is calculated.
What changes the final price?
- Material: standard frontlit, backlit, mesh, or another media; confirm the exact available grade.
- Size and number: finished width/height, panel count, and whether seams are needed.
- Use: indoor/outdoor exposure, viewing distance, lighting, mounting, and expected duration.
- Finishing: hemming, eyelets, pockets, pasting, frame, or installation may be extra.
- Artwork: file correction, design, proof, and resizing can be separate charges.
- Logistics: packing, delivery, access/location, rush schedule, and applicable tax.
A low print-only amount does not describe a ready-to-hang installation. Ask the supplier to itemize each step.
How to request a like-for-like quote
Send exact width and height; number of banners; material/use; single piece or multi-panel; artwork dimensions and readiness; eyelet/hem/pocket requirements; whether frame/installation is needed; delivery location; date; and tax requirements. Request separate lines for print, finishing, frame, installation, artwork, delivery, and tax. Ask for an image proof and confirm how the colour will be reviewed.
If this is packaging rather than a sign, do not use banner square-foot prices. See flexographic printing in Nepal, which explains the different process used for some packaging work. For general job specifications, use how to request a printing quotation. Relevant Thankyooou service routes include commercial printing and contact; confirm current banner availability before publishing a sales claim.
Calculating the area and a budget
Banners are priced by area, so work in square feet.
| Size (ft) | Area (sq ft) |
|---|---|
| 2 × 3 | 6 |
| 3 × 5 | 15 |
| 3 × 6 | 18 |
| 4 × 8 | 32 |
| 6 × 8 | 48 |
| 10 × 20 | 200 |
Illustration of the method, not a price: if a quote is NPR R per sq ft for printing only, the print cost is area × R. A 3 × 6 ft banner has 18 sq ft, so the print cost is 18 × R. Eyelets, hemming, frames, installation, design and tax are extra unless the quote says they are included.
What to ask in the quote
- Rate per sq ft, and for what material and print quality
- Is the rate for printing only, or does it include finishing?
- Hemming, eyelets, pockets: included or extra?
- Frame, installation and transport: included?
- Design and artwork changes: included?
- Tax: included or extra?
- Minimum charge for small sizes
- Delivery date and place
Why flex rates differ between suppliers
- Material grade. Normal flex and higher-grade flex cost different amounts.
- Print quality. Resolution and ink affect rate.
- Size. Large jobs may use cheaper rates per sq ft.
- Finishing. Hems and eyelets add labour.
- Rush. Same-day work costs more.
- Design. Design time is often billed separately.
One Nepal supplier shows two different figures on different pages, which is why this guide does not merge them into a single range. See the source links below.
Vinyl stickers vs flex banners
A vinyl sticker is applied to a surface and priced per sq ft or per piece; a flex banner hangs. They are different products. See sticker printing prices and flex banner sizes and materials.
Checking a banner on delivery
- Measure the size.
- Check colours against the proof.
- Look at the print for banding or streaks.
- Check hems and eyelets.
- Check spelling in Nepali and English.
- Keep the receipt and the approved proof.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a 3 × 6 ft flex banner cost?
Its face area is 18 sq ft. Multiplying by a vendor’s advertised starting rate gives only a print-only arithmetic estimate. Confirm material, minimum charge, finishing, tax, delivery, and installation with the supplier.
Is NPR 20 per square foot the standard rate in Nepal?
The checked public pages do not support that claim. One vendor lists that starting rate, another lists NPR 35, and published details differ.
Are eyelets included in flex printing?
Not necessarily. One provider explicitly describes its starting amount as print-only. Ask for a line item for hems, eyelets, pockets, frame, and fitting.
