VINYL, CLOTH, AND MESH

Yes, we have a variety of hardware options that can help display your vinyl, cloth, or mesh banners. The particular hardware options that will work for you depend on where and how you plan on using your banner.

One of our experienced Account Managers can explain our various standard or custom hardware options to make sure that you are using your banners to their full potential.

All of our vinyl, mesh, or cloth banners are printed and finished based on your needs and specifications regardless of material choice.

Your banner can be finished in a variety of different ways based on how it will be used. Listed below are the most common finishes. One of our signage experts would be happy to assist you when determining the correct finishing for your banner needs.

Trim to size - Banner is trimmed with no additional hardware or material added.

Grommets - Grommets can be added along the perimeter of the banner. Please indicate if special grommet spacing is required.

Hems - Hems can be heat-welded or stitched. Heat welds are standard for vinyl and mesh banners, and stitched hems are standard for cloth banners.

Hems and Grommets - Finished hem with #2 grommets every 18-24”.

Webbing and Grommets - Webbing is stitched into the perimeter of the banner to increase strength, with high-wind grommets installed as well. Recommended for banners hung in high-wind areas.Large banners may also have webbing to increase strength to support the inherent weight that comes with larger banners. Please indicate if special grommet spacing is required.

Velcro - Typically, loop side of Velcro is sewn onto the reverse side of the banner and the adhesive hook side of Velcro is included in the order. Hook or Loop Velcro can be stitched into your banner based on how you are going to hang it up or install it.

Pole Pockets - Sleeves that allow a banner to be hung from a cable or pole. Additionally, the pole pocket can hold a pole or dowel for added weight. Sides that do not have a pole pocket can be stitched or welded.

Determining whether mesh, cloth, or vinyl banners are right for you depends on a number of things. Some things to think about are: will the banner be indoors or outdoors? If outdoors, how much wind will the banner be exposed to? Will the banner have specific lighting?

One of our Account Managers would be happy to discuss your banner needs in more detail to help determine which type of banner material is the right fit for your project.

Cloth banners are often used at trade shows and exhibits to display company graphics. The cloth material doesn't reflect light and is suitable for interior use where there are many lights. They can also be used as championship banners inside a gymnasium. The lightweight cloth material makes hanging banners from the rafters an easy task.

Mesh banners are almost exclusively used outdoors. They are used in areas that receive a lot of wind because they let air pass through them and limit the stress on the structure it is fastened to and the banner itself. Mesh banners are commonly used as sponsor and branding signage around racetracks, baseball stadiums, construction sites and more. They are also used when large banners are hung on buildings. Because there are holes in the banner for wind to pass through, they are typically lighter than solid vinyl banners of the same size.

Vinyl banners are our most popular type of banner and are used for a variety of reasons. They can be used to promote events, sales, and more. They can be used as championship banners both indoors and out. Their versatility to be used in a variety of settings makes them a very popular choice for customers.
