Outdoor Banners

Materials

The most commonly used material is a heavy weight vinyl technically known as PVC. The weights of the different banner substrates range from as light as 9 ounces to as heavy as 22 ounces per square yard (900gsm) and may be double- or single-sided. Grommets (eyelets) can also be added in order to facilitate hanging of the banner. A high frequency weld, stitching or banner hem tape are also used to fasten the hems neatly, and provide the insertion of grommets / eyelets. Large banners (which can be so large that they cover the side of a building) are usually printed on a special mesh pvc material so that some wind can pass through them.

Finishing

Hems: We provide a few different options to finish your banner. Tape Hemming, Sewed Hems and Heat Hemming. Depending on your need we provide the best option for your during the preflight process. 

Eyelets: (or grommets) are small (typically 12.5mm diameter inner) metal or clear rings secured into the banner hem which allow rope, clips or bungee cord to be attached to the banner to aid fixing.

Pole Pockets: vinyl banners can be finished with pole pockets, usually at the top and/or bottom where a loop is made from the same continuous material and fixed to the back of the banner by a high frequency weld, stitching or banner hem tape. This is common on scaffold banners where a scaffold pole is slid though to secure the banner on site. Hung banners can have a pole pocket at the bottom to hold a weighted bar which can add tension to the display and prevent it from billowing up.
