Hey there! When I made the very first set of printable banner letters back in 2013 I was blown away at how popular they were and still are today. Over the past few years, the NUMBER ONE request I have received from everyone is for a set of plain black and white letters (and numbers of course). I made the chalkboard letters a while back but I was still getting requests for letters that would fit all occasions. Well peeps, here they are! Same shape as before but with no background. Just plain ole’ black and white.
These letters can be printed on colored card stock as well!
>>>Instructions for downloading and/or printing each letter<<<
- Download- Select/click on the letter you wish to download/print- a PDF version (make sure the latest version of Adobe Reader is installed) will open up and you can download/save to your computer or just print.
- Print-I recommend printing on card stock. Here is the one I use, it’s 90lb card stock.
- Cut-Trim off the excess area using scissors .
- Punch- using a hole puncher, punch a hole in each corner- be sure to not get too close to the edge.
- String together – Add a colored ribbon
, twine, jute
or my favorite- tulle
to assemble your banner!

I love to see what people have made with these letters. You can post to the Swanky Design Co Facebook page or tag Swanky Design Co on Instagram and include #swankyletters

The 4th and 5th get page errors. I tried several times and the others worked fine.
Thank you for letting me know! I just fixed both of them. 🙂
These are gorgeous! I can’t wait to get to a printer so I can create a stunning banner with these! Thanks so much for sharing!
Anyway I can make the size smaller? I need help!
On your printer settings, it should give you the option to scale your print down. Normally it starts at 100%. These letters are about 9×7 to give you a starting point.
The little birdie page doesn’t seem to want to load for me to print?? Any ideas?
Thank you -Ezzie
P.s Love this font!!
Love this font and design, disappointed there isn’t an 18th…..as today is my daughters 18th birthday.
Can you change the lettering color? Not background, but the lettering outline itself?
AWESOME LETTERS AND JUST PERFECT SIZE AND WHAT I WANTED. THANK YOU SO SO VERY MUCH
Is there any way i can have one or make one with an ‘ (apostrophe)
I have all other letters printed out but need badly the apostrophe!
Beautiful letters by the way!
This is so awesome! Thank you very much!!
Thank you so very much for sharing these with others! I absolutely love them!! Very appreciated!!
Hi,
The little bird doesn’t seem to work. Any way it can get resolved? I love these for my office! These are perfect.
Best,
L
By chance can you make a 25th design! Would love to use these for my parents 25th wedding anniversary!
These are so pretty!! Thank you for taking the time and effort to put this together and share with everyone!! Thank you so much!!! You’re awesome, that is all.
can you please add a ‘ @ ‘ symbol. thank you so much 🙂
I can’t get the bird to print. I wanted to print it pointing both ways to look like it was holding the ends of the banner. I can’t get it to print at all. These letters are perfect. We are celebrating my parents 59th wedding anniversary on Sunday and I am making a banner to hang above the table as part of the decorations. If you could email the bird to me so that I could print them turned each way that would be SO awesome. THANKS!
The bird design does not let me save it
Love this font and even better they are really free. Thanks so much I look forward to seeing what’s next
thank you so much for these free printables Laveeet!!!
Hi there!
I was able to print everything but the bird. Any suggestions? And thank you so much for the printables!
These are gorgeous!! Could you consider adding a blank one? With the cutout but nothing inside? THANKS!
Thank you so much – these are amazing! What font do you use for the letters (the Black & White Banner Letters)? I’m creating an additional one that says ‘Class of’, then another with ‘2020’. So I wanted the fonts to match.
