Banners
A banner is any product that bears a symbol, logo, slogan or other message and typically has a length 3-times its width. Banners may be produced for either indoor or outdoor usage.
Indoor Banners
- Paper – banners may be produced on paper for limited use but may also be laminated to convert into a longer-term item.
- Vinyl – can be produced on a stock from 10 oz to 13 oz. This material is not as textured as outdoor vinyl so it generally images better and shows details with more clarity
Outdoor Banners
Banners used outdoors should be produced with the following requirements for durability:
- "Scrim" vinyl which has polyester reinforcement strands running vertically and horizontally to prevent tearing under high winds.
- 3oz gloss vinyl - although heavier stocks are available, as are different gloss levels.
- Edges should be hemmed or welded to avoid fraying from wind and rain exposure.
- Lamination can be added to help reduce UV damage as well as to prevent abrasions and dirt build-up.
