Frequently Asked Questions Return to Top
What option is the best overall for outdoor use?
The best product for outdoor use is either mesh banners or 18-oz. heavy-duty matte banners. Mesh banner material is designed to be wind friendly It uses a crisscrossed fiber pattern for maximum airflow.
If you also have an indoor event, then we also offer fabric and canvas banners as well as pop up banners, championship banners, text only banners, step and repeat banners, fence banners, and pole banners.
What is the expected lifespan of outdoor banners, and how can I extend their durability?
With proper care and maintenance, you should expect your outdoor banners to last for 1+ years. To help further extend your banners lifespan we recommend using bungees in all the grommets when installing. Bungees help to evenly distribute tension to all the grommets, reducing the likelihood of a tear. We also recommend taking down your outdoor banner if at all possible in the event of harsh or extreme weather conditions.
What colors are these products printed in?
All of our products are printed in full CMYK colors! If you need a custom color, our friendly customer service team is happy to help. They’re available live Monday-Friday, 8-5pm CST.

What is the minimum quantity of products that I can order?
The minimum amount you can order of each product is one. If you are choosing to order more than one, we do offer a bulk discount!
What are the benefits of using a mesh banner vs. a vinyl banner?
A mesh banner is specialized for windy or harsh conditions – and designed to endure the outdoor elements. The mesh design lets wind pass through without damaging the material. It can be used on windows where light needs to come in.
Will my design lose any detail with the mesh material?
Your design will lose some detail simply because of the nature of the fabric. The 70/30 vinyl to hole ratio still allows for the majority of the detail to be displayed. But 30% of all detail will be lost if printed on mesh.
If you would like to retain more detail, we recommend our 18-oz. extra heavy duty matte option.
What design features are available for outdoor banners?
Customize with high-contrast colors, bold fonts, and various size options to ensure visibility and impact.
How should I hang my outdoor banner securely?
Hems and grommets, as well as pole pockets, can be added to your outdoor vinyl banner. We recommend using ball bungees on ALL grommets provided if you choose the hems and grommets option. This will equally distribute the pressure, resulting in a clean and wrinkle-free banner and help to extend the lifespan.
