Banner Materials
Your banner is made with the finest materials available and printed using state-of-the-art, large-format printers for vibrant colors that pop. All banners are manufactured and printed in the USA.
Exact sizes of banners cannot be guaranteed. Vinyl is a temperature-sensitive material, and some fluctuation can occur due to heat application in printing, finishing, and outside climate. Please note our acceptable size variance is up to 1/2 inch per linear foot (ex., a 5' banner could finish with a 2.5" variance). If your banner needs to be precise, please ask your customer service representative to discuss your specific application.
| Mesh Banners |
Made with 8 oz PVC polyester mesh material that has a criss-crossed breathable scrim that allows a 37% airflow. Mesh banners are ideal for outdoor and windy conditions.

 |
 |
| These are a one inch fold, heat-welded hem with grommets typically added every 2-4 feet. |
A thick, weblike material (similar to what is used in seatbelts) is heat-welded to the perimeter of the banner to provide additional reinforcement. |
A triangular piece of vinyl is applied to the corners of the banner and secured with grommets to improve both the strength and durability in the corners of the banner. |
A pocket or sleeve added to the banner to allow for a dowel or pole to run through it for support. When selecting pole pockets, there will be no increase in the finished size of the banner. |
Heat Welded Hems & Grommets
Hems consist of one inch of the vinyl banner material folded over to the backside of the banner and heated together to form a clean and strong one-inch hem. We recommend having hems for all banners to increase the strength and durability of the banner.
You will have the following options when selecting hems and grommets for your banners:
| Top and Bottom Only Hems - This is our standard finishing option for vinyl banners. The top and bottom of every banner will be heat welded and grommeted. |
All Four Sides Hems - This is another common finishing option for vinyl banners. All 4 sides of the banner will be heat welded and grommeted. |
 |
 |
Pole Pockets
Pole pockets consist of 2 inches, 3 inches, or 4 inches of material wrapped around the sides, top, or bottom of the banner. The vinyl banner material is folded over the backside of the banner similar to hems, but there is room for a pole or rod to go through the pocket.
You will have the following pole pocket finishing options for your banners:
- 2" Pole Pockets - fits a pole 3/4" in diameter
- 3" Pole Pockets - fits a pole 1 1/4" in diameter
- 4" Pole Pockets - fits a pole 1 1/2" in diameter
By selecting pole pockets, there will be no increase in the finished size of your banner. Pole pockets can either be 2", 3", or 4". We don't recommend having any text or images within 3 inches of the edge of the banner when you select pole pockets.
**Pole Pockets are not available with reinforced hems or corners. Reinforced corners are not available on banners under 2 feet in height.
Reinforced Corners
Reinforced corners provide extra strength for the banner. The corners have a reinforced hem and are grommeted to each corner of the banner. You cannot have reinforced corners with pole pockets.
Reinforced Hems
Reinforced hems are a 1 3/16" PVC-coated webbing which increases the strength of the banner. The vinyl banner is cut to size, and the reinforcements are heat-welded to the backside of the banner.
We recommend having reinforced hems and reinforced corners on banners over 32 square feet that will be used outdoors or if the banner will be used in a high-wind environment.
**You can not have reinforced hems with pole pockets.
Double-Sided Banner Finishing
We can finish double-sided banners up to 150 square feet. For anything larger, please contact us. Double-sided banners can only have pole pockets or hems and grommet finishing.
To learn more, visit our vinyl banner finishing options page.
**We do not recommend wind slits in banners, therefore, we do not offer them. For more information as to why, visit our wind slit banners information page.
Artwork Guidelines
The file that prints best is .eps converted to outline. We can also print high resolution .pdf or .jpg files. If you are unsure of the quality of your files, our professional graphic designers will be more than happy to help you.
Artwork/Order Proofs
If you would like to double-check your order for correct information, requesting an order proof will allow you to do that. Your order proof will include a low-resolution image of your artwork and a summary of your order (including pricing), as well as your billing and shipping information. Please note that if you request a proof, we will not send your order into production until you have sent your approval.
Color Match Proof System
If your project is color critical, we recommend using our Color Match Proof System, as this is the best way to ensure the color match for your specific project. For more details, please contact a customer service representative.
