Types of Banners
- Vinyl banners are made of durable polyester which is tear-resistant and weather-resistant. They can be printed on one or both sides.
- Perforated banners are made from lightweight polyester material which allows wind to pass through.
- Mesh banners are made of vinyl material with small holes throughout.
- Step and repeat banners are a backdrop with printed images. They are used as backgrounds for photos, trade show displays, and “red carpet” style events.
- Banner stands are freestanding structures made to support a banner without the need for hanging.
Types of Banner Finishes
Banner finishes are the final touches on banners to make them look complete and professional. They can also aid in how the banner is displayed.
There are three types of banner finishes:
- Hemming: The most common type of banner finish, all four edges of the banner are folded over and sewn.
- Grommets: Metal rings are placed in the corners and along the banner’s edges for hanging.
- Pole pockets: A sleeve is sewn into the top and bottom of the banner which allows for a pole to be inserted.
