A banner is the cheapest large sign you can buy and the one most likely to be shredded by August. The difference is material, finishing and hanging. Forty years of flying fabric outdoors in Tampa taught us what lasts, and we build every banner that way.
Pick the right material
| Material | Best for | Wind |
|---|---|---|
| 13 oz vinyl | Storefronts, sales, events, indoor and outdoor | Solid; needs wind slits or a firm frame in exposed spots |
| Mesh vinyl | Fences, scaffolding, building wraps, anywhere windy | Air passes through; the banner stays put |
| Mesh polyester jersey | Sporting arenas and stadiums, indoor events, backdrops | Light and breathable; hangs well |
| Sewn nylon or polyester | Street-pole banners, indoor hanging, ceremonial, anything that should look like a flag | Excellent; moves like a flag |
| Window perf | Glass doors and windows, vehicle glass | n/a |
Vinyl banners
Full-color digital print on heavyweight scrim vinyl, hemmed on all sides with grommets every two feet, or pole pockets if you prefer. Any size from a 2×4 door banner to a 4×30 building banner. We add wind slits on request, and we recommend them on anything larger than 3×8 that hangs in the open.
Mesh banners
Mesh lets most of the wind through, which is why it is the only material we put on a fence or a scaffold. Print quality is nearly as sharp as solid vinyl from a few feet away. This is the material for construction fence scrim, ballfield fence signs and building wraps.
Mesh polyester jersey
A light, breathable knit that prints in full color and hangs without the stiffness of vinyl. It is the material for events at sporting arenas and stadiums: concourse and rail banners, backdrops, court and rinkside hangs, and anything that has to go up fast and come down after the game.
Fabric and sewn banners
For downtown street-pole banners, school gyms, church sanctuaries, trade-show backdrops and anything that hangs where people can touch it, sewn fabric looks better and lasts longer. Printed or appliquéd, with pole pockets top and bottom.
