THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN DESIGNING AND CONSTRUCTING THE BANNER THAT FITS YOUR NEEDS
VINYL BANNER WITH GROMMETS
THE STANDARD AND MOST POPULAR BANNER IS 13 OZ VINYL MATERIAL WITH GROMMETS EVERY 30 INCHES. THIS IS OUR BASIC ECONOMY BANNER THAT CAN BE USED INDOORS OR OUTDOORS.
POLE POCKET VS GROMMET
A POLE POCKET IS PREFERRED IF YOU WILL BE HANGING THE BANNER IN THE WIND OR MARCHING WITH THE BANNER IN A PARADE. A POLE POCKET IS AVAILABLE AT AN OPTIONAL COST AND THESE CAN BE AT BOTH THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE BANNER.
WINDY APPLICATIONS
IF YOU PLAN ON HANGING A BANNER IN THE WIND YOU SHOULD CONSIDER A MESH BANNER (SEE BELOW) OR OPTING FOR WIND SLiTTING AND/OR CORNER REINFORCEMENT – BOTH OF THESE OPTION WILL HELP THE BANNER IN WINDY CONDITIONS
MESH BANNERS
THE MESH BANNER IS AN IDEAL OUTDOOR BANNER WHERE WIND IS A FACTOR. GREAT FOR FENCES, CONCERT AREAS. SEMI-TRANSPARENT BUT STAYS BRIGHT AND RECOGNIZABLE FROM AFAR.
VELCRO MOUNTING
VELCRO STRIPS (HOOK OR LOOP) CAN BE ATTACHED TO ANY BANNER ON A PER LINEAR FOOT BASIS WITH THE MATING SIDE SHIPPED WITH THE BANNER.
SIZING – TWO DECISIONS
