Custom Fabric Banners

What are fabric banners?

These banners are made from high-quality polyester/nylon blended material. This material gives our fabric banners the regal look that enhances church events, birthdays, or indoor sporting events.

How are your fabric banners printed?

To print our fabric products, we use what is known as dye sublimation printing. This is the process of using heat to transfer color deep into the fabric of the banner. This creates a vibrant and striking banner.

How do fabric banners differ from vinyl banners?

Vinyl banner material is more durable, and is usually meant to be displayed in an outdoor setting. Fabric banners are meant to be used indoors and out of the rain. Custom vinyl banners are also much more rigid than fabric banners. Fabric banners are meant to flow with the wind, so monitor the wind forecast.

What is "Dye Sublimation" printing?

Dye sublimation printing is a method of using heat to transfer images onto fabric for custom flag and banner printing. It is also called "digital sublimation" printing. We also use the same technique for custom flag printing. Dye sublimation printing consists of two general steps:

1. 1. Print graphics onto special transfer paper using sublimation printer
2. 2. Utilize heat press to transfer the ink to the substrate

Do you offer double-sided fabric banners?

No, we do not. But we do offer double-sided banner printing on vinyl if you need something to display both ways.

Do your fabric banners have seams?

If printed within the max specifications of 10’ high and 30’ wide, our fabric banners will not have any seams. Our fabric banners are printed on a single piece of fabric.

How do I order grommets?

In the designer tool, choose the hems and grommets option.

How large or small can my fabric banner be?

Our fabric banners can be printed using a minimum height and width of 1 foot. The fabric banners have a maximum height of 10 ft. and a maximum width of 30 ft.

What is the lifespan of your fabric banners?

The average expected lifespan of our fabric banners is 3+ years if properly installed and maintained.

Are fabric banners safe to use outdoors?

Our fabric banners are safe to use outdoors. We do recommend using them in fair weather conditions so they don’t get stretched or torn in the wind.

What are some benefits to choosing this material?

1. They are printed using a dye-sublimation printing process that injects ink into the cloth for accurate, vibrant colors.
2. Easy to order! Pick a template, upload a file, or get help from our designers to easily create your own fabric banners.
3. You get to choose how you want your banner finished! Hems & Grommets, hems only, or pole pockets.

Installation & Product Care FAQs

How do I hang my fabric banner?

Hems and grommets or pole pockets can be added to your vinyl banner. We recommend placing ball bungees on ALL grommets provided if you select the hems and grommets. This will spread the tension uniformly, resulting in a banner that is as clean and wrinkle-free as possible.

Our pole pockets are another way to hang your banner. There will be no increase in the end size of your banner if pole pockets are chosen. Pole pockets come in three sizes: 2", 3", and 4". When choosing pole pockets, we don't recommend placing any text or images within 3 inches of the banner's edge.

Pole Pocket Finishing Options:

• 2" Pole Pockets - fits a pole 3/4" in diameter
• 3" Pole Pockets - fits a pole 1 1/4" in diameter
• 4" Pole Pockets - fits a pole 1 1/2" in diameter

Can I wash my fabric banner if it gets dirty?

Yes! Our fabric banners are 100% machine washable. We recommend regularly cleaning and maintaining our fabric banners whenever possible.
