Material

About Vinyl Banners

All full-color banners are printed on high-quality 13oz scrim vinyl. 13oz vinyl is rated for both indoor and outdoor use. Outdoor banners can last several years with proper handling, installation and storage.

Full-color vinyl banners are digitally printed up to 8' by 50' without seams.

Exact sizes of banners cannot be guaranteed. Vinyl is a temperature sensitive material, and some fluctuation can occur due to heat application in printing, finishing, and outside climate. Please note our acceptable size variance is up to 1/2 inch per linear foot (ex. A 5' banner could finish with a 2.5" variance). If your banner needs to be precise, please ask your Customer Service Representative to discuss your specific application.

Finishing Options

Hems & Grommets	Reinforced Hems	Reinforced Corners	Pole Pockets

Is a one inch fold, heat welded hem with grommets typically added every 2 -4 feet.	A thick weblike material (similar to what is used in seatbelts) is heat welded to the perimeter of the banner to provide additional reinforcement.	A triangular piece of vinyl is applied to the corners of the banner and secured with grommets to improve both the strength and durability in the corners of the banner.	A pocket or sleeve added to the banner to allow for a dowel or pole to run through it for support. When selecting pole pockets there will be no increase in the finished size of the banner.

Heat Welded Hems & Grommets

Hems consist of one inch of the vinyl banner material folded over to the backside of the banner and heated together to form a clean and strong one-inch hem. We recommend having hems for all banners to increase the strength and durability of the banner.

You will have the following options when selecting hems and grommets for your banners:

Top and Bottom Only Hems - This is our standard finishing option for vinyl banners. The top and bottom of every banner will be heat welded and grommeted.	All Four Sides Hems - This is another common finishing option for vinyl banners. All 4 sides of the banner will be heat welded and grommeted.

Pole Pockets

Pole pockets consist of 2 inches, 3 inches, or 4 inches of material wrapped around the sides, top or bottom of the banner. The vinyl banner material is folded over the back side of the banner similar to hems, but there is room for a pole or rod to go through the pocket.

You will have the following pole pocket finishing options for your banners:

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

By selecting pole pockets, there will be no increase in the finished size of your banner. Pole pockets can either be 2", 3" or 4". We don't recommend having any text or images within 3 inches of the edge of the banner when you select pole pockets.

**Pole Pockets are not available with reinforced hems or corners. Reinforced corners are not available on banners under 2 feet in height.

Reinforced Corners

Reinforced corners provide extra strength for the banner. The corners have a reinforced hem and are grommeted to each corner of the banner. You can not have reinforced corners with pole pockets.

Reinforced Hems

Reinforced hems are a 1 3/16" PVC coated webbing which increases the strength of the banner. The vinyl banner is cut to size and the reinforcements are heat welded to the backside of the banner.

We recommend having reinforced hems and reinforced corners on banners over 32 square feet that will be used outdoors or if the banner will be used in a high-wind environment.

**You can not have reinforced hems with pole pockets.

Double-Sided Banner Finishing

We can finish double-sided banners up to 150 square feet. For anything larger, please contact us. Double sided banners can only have pole pockets or hems and grommet finishing.

To learn more visit our vinyl banner finishing options page.

**We do not recommend wind slits in banners, therefore we do not offer them. For more information as to why, visit our wind slit banners information page.

More About Full-Color Vinyl Banners Return to Top

In advertising, there are little things more important than the use of color. It would be hard to imagine a classic coke advertisement without their trademark use of the color red and white. A good use of color triggers something within the minds of customers so you can stay at the top of their minds.

And when it comes to color range, not all color models are the same. Color models are an abstract mathematical model depicting how colors can be represented with a number value. Users have the ability to depict any color they can think of using a combination of all these colors which are assigned a number such as 0, 0.16, 1, 0 (which is gold). CMYK gives banners the look of being printed with true color.

Here at Banners.com, we’ve become the premier choice for vinyl banner printing because we make it easy and affordable to design high-quality, custom vinyl banners that you can't wait to put on display. With our easy-to-use online designer, 100% in-house customer service, quick turnaround times, and our commitment to quality, we know that you'll be satisfied with the ordering experience along with the professional custom vinyl banner printing.

Installation & Product Care FAQs

How do I clean my banner?

Your custom banner might require occasional cleaning. If you are going to wash your banner, use lukewarm water. You can add dish soap to the water. You should only use soft towels to avoid scratching the banner and ruining the prints.

How do I remove wrinkles from my vinyl banner?

After receiving your vinyl banner, you may notice it has some creases or wrinkles. This is due to it being rolled up and stored for shipping. If you wish to get rid of these unsightly wrinkles from your custom vinyl banner, we recommend two options.

The first and least hands-on approach is to simply unroll your vinyl banners and place them in the hot sun for a few hours and the wrinkles should come out.

The second option is more of a hands-on approach, and we recommend using a clothing steamer with a refillable water tank. Simply just use the steamer much like you would with a piece of clothing and this steamer should take the wrinkles right out!

For more information, check out our YouTube video on how to remove wrinkles from your banner.
