It used to be that vinyl banners were only beneficial as short term replacements for more “expert” looking signs. The introduction of digital printing has meant that vinyl banners can be printed in full color.

1. Banner Signs – Outdoor Banners

Banner Signs are frequently used in the place of more stiff signage. Since they are outdoor banners, they are printed on very rugged tear-resistant vinyl, and then seamed around all four sides for added strength and wind resistance. Grommets are used where necessary for easy hanging. Banner signs can be restrained, or screwed down, and will last for years without tearing or fading. You can also install your banner indication without grommets by requesting for “pole pockets” instead. This method they can be mounted on poles at either the sides or leading and bottom. The poles can be part of a mounting bracket arrangement, or, if it is made of wood or plastic, can be screwed straight to a wooden surface (such as a fence).

2. Exhibition Banners

Vinyl banners are ideal for numerous trade program applications. Given that they are very versatile and light-weight, they can be easily rolled and unrolled, and can be used for numerous years. They make ideal banner backdrops when hung from the proper hardware, or can be used as an indication hanging on the front of your screen table. Since they are light-weight and can be easily shipped or transported, vinyl banners are specifically proper for trade program applications. They can also be use in other products such as Banner Stands, Retractable Jiffy Rolls, or X-Banners. The printing on digitally printed vinyl banners is vibrant and brilliant, and very resilient, since they are made for outdoor use. Exhibition banners are printed on a very smooth, soft vinyl product with solvent based inks. When purchasing trade program banners, always insist on true solvent-based inks since they are much, much more scratch resistant, and UV-resistant; and are totally water-resistant. Banners printed with dye-based or pigment-based inks will fade very rapidly in brilliant light.

3. Convention Banners, Conference Banners

Every special event can use an Event Banner. These generally function as centerpieces or as backdrops. A normal event banner is used at a conference or convention where there is a phase or podium. A banner can be hung as a backdrop in order to stress the convention theme or show a business logo. Occasion banner backdrops can be any size or shape, varying from your common horizontal long and narrow shape to a more square backdrop shape. Big backdrop banners can be hung from cables connected to the ceiling either to a drape rod style pole (using the pole pocket method) or to a number of grommets in the top of the banner.

4. Occasion Banners, Birthday Banners, Anniversary Banners

In the case of Birthday Banners that are used inside, the vinyl product is frequently softer, and less tear-resistant. Even paper will work, although it is much less resilient, and not significantly less pricey. Numerous Occasion Banners are meant to be hung or mounted outside, like an Indication Banner. Many churches use event banners to announce programs like Holiday Bible School, or golf courses to promote a special competition.

5. Streetscape or Boulevard Banners.

Vinyl banners are ideal for including atmosphere and identity to streetscapes. Unique hardware allows you to hang your banners vertically from utility poles. Pole pockets leading and bottom make it easy to set up and take down your banners. Streetscape banners are made more weather-resistant and resilient by welding 2 banners together to make a two-sided banner. And naturally solvent inks are essential for this application because streetscape banners are completely exposed to the elements. Be sure your vinyl banners are printed with full color outdoor resistant printing using solvent inks. Since the printing process is a digital one, banner designs can include photos, logos, and special art work. You can generally use your own vinyl banner design, or your supplier can produce a banner design for you for a small charge.
