Indoor banners
- Tend to use a lighter weight material
- No need for sewn hem
- Webbing not necessary for strength, but might still be used to help keep the banner flat
- Grommets still needed to hand the banner
Indoor banners tend to be for shorter term use. Even with that in mind, they should last a long time (as long as they are only used inside). There generally isn't any environmental factors that reduce the life of the banner. Once hung, it should be usable as long as it is needed. If, however, you take an indoor banner and install it on the outside, it will not last anywhere near as long. The lower weight material will tend to break down faster in the wind and elements. Not having a sewn hem, or possibly webbing will further reduce the strength of the banner. It is always best go use a heavier material (at least 13 oz), and get the hems sewn with webbing inside if you have any plans to utilize your banner outside.
Outdoor banners
- Utilize a heavier material (at least 13 oz)
- Have sewn hems
- Contain webbing
- May have reinforced corners
