When people think of custom outdoor signs, they usually think of long-term durable materials such as aluminum and plastic. These are indeed superior for outdoor use, but temporary vinyl banners are also weather-resistant and hold up for the long haul.
Businesses that need temporary signs to advertise sales and other events are pleased when they order one of our custom outdoor vinyl banners. Contrary to the belief that outdoor vinyl banners fray and tear when exposed to the elements, our outdoor vinyl banners are reinforced with nylon scrim, which helps vinyl banners retain their new, professional look.
Scrim is simply sewn into the waterproof material in the banners and serves as a sort of “skeleton” for the vinyl banner, giving the entire structure of the banner extra support that keeps it in brand-new condition after being displayed even long-term.
So, there’s actually more to our custom outdoor vinyl banners than just vinyl! And when it comes to reinforcement, more is more!Do Outdoor Vinyl Banners Hold Up Even When Left Hanging?
Isn’t that why you ordered it? Yes, hanging an outdoor vinyl banner does put some stress on it, but how you hang your banner makes all the difference in relieving that stress and getting the most out of your custom outdoor vinyl banner.
We include with every order a fully illustrated Banner Installation and Display Guide to help you protect your vinyl banner as it works for you. Not only do you want it to remain strong in the face of the elements, but you want to prevent sagging as well. After all, a strong, healthy sign implies a strong, healthy business!So, Why Do I Often See Drooping, Frayed Outdoor Vinyl Banners?
Unfortunately, not everyone uses professional advice when hanging their banners. They also may order what they think will do the best, while getting the wrong product for the intended use.
Our experienced team can help you avoid an unprofessional, sagging vinyl banner with a simple consultation. Or use our SignMagic design system to help you figure out what you need.
Depending on the shape, size and desired location of your custom outdoor vinyl banner, grommets, or eyelets, are spaced to maximize the longevity of your banner. For example, if you are ordering a street banner, grommets should be spaced every 2 feet due to strong wind exposure.
However, if an outdoor vinyl banner is to be hung against a wall or fence, then only top and bottom grommets are necessary, the number depending on the size of the banner.
Because we custom make each of our outdoor vinyl banners, grommets can be sewn in anyplace in the sign that makes it easiest for you to display. Just let us point you in the right direction for the strongest banner construction.Don’t Hem and Haw Over Your Outdoor Vinyl Banner
Hems are another way of ensuring your vinyl banner is able to withstand strong winds and pounding rains.
We can hem edges for a basic vinyl banner, with or without grommets. These types of banners are most commonly used either mounted against a surface or hung between two fixtures.
We also can hem the sides of your outdoor vinyl banner for extra reinforcement, for banners exposed to higher wind forces.
Just tell us your needs, and we’ll give you all the support you need!All Tied Up With No Place To Go
You have a few options when hanging your custom outdoor vinyl banner. You can use you own tying material, or we can sew ropes or webbing into the hems for you.
Having ties sewn into your outdoor vinyl banner offers some added support, with webbing providing the strongest construction. Knowing where you plan to hang your sign is essential in knowing how to design it, so be sure to have this information ready for your consultation.
We can even sew sleeves if your outdoor vinyl banner is to be supported on a pole. However you choose to hang your sign, if done according to our instructions, let the winds blow; your sign is going nowhere!Rain, Rain, Go Away – Will the Sun Fade My Outdoor Vinyl Banner?
Weather-resistant doesn’t just mean rain and wind. With current sign technology, we produce outdoor vinyl banners with high-performance computer generated vinyl graphics or a full-color digital printer. You can expect your outdoor vinyl banner to last up to ten years when using such superior vinyl graphics.
So, even when the weather is frightful, investing in a custom outdoor vinyl banner isn’t!
