Custom Vinyl Banner Materials: Choose Matte, Gloss, Heavy-Duty, Mesh, Fabric & Adhesive
Select a material for your custom vinyl banner based on where it will hang—indoor retail, trade shows, outdoor signage, or windy exteriors. Every option is printed on large-format equipment for sharp, full-color graphics and is manufactured in the USA.
Size variance: Vinyl expands and contracts with heat during printing, finishing, and outdoor conditions. Finished sizes may vary by up to 1/2 inch per linear foot (for example, a 5′ banner may finish within about 2.5″). Need exact dimensions for a frame or hardware? Ask customer service before you order.
| 13 oz Matte Vinyl Banners |
Our most popular custom vinyl banner stock: 13 oz matte vinyl with a soft, low-glare surface and rich color—ideal for storefronts, indoor displays, and outdoor use where readability matters in bright light.
|
| 13 oz Gloss Vinyl Banners |
13 oz gloss vinyl adds extra pop: a high-shine face that makes logos and photos look crisp—great for promotions, events, and retail windows when you want maximum color impact.
|
| 18 oz Vinyl Banners |
Heavy-duty 18 oz vinyl with a matte look and blockout layer—our toughest banner material for long-run outdoor installs, high-traffic areas, and jobs that need extra tear and abrasion resistance.
|
| Mesh Banners |
Mesh banner material (8 oz PVC polyester) with open weave for airflow—best for fences, building wraps, and breezy locations where solid vinyl would catch wind.
|
| Fabric Banners |
Premium Banner Soft (nylon/polyester blend) for a soft, upscale drape—choose fabric banners for indoor backdrops, stage graphics, and environments where glare-free viewing matters.
|
| Adhesive Banners |
Standard tack vinyl: removable-style adhesive for smooth surfaces; outdoor life about 3–5 years when installed and cared for properly.
Extreme tack vinyl: high-tack adhesive for low-energy surfaces where standard adhesives may fail—use when you need a stronger bond (always test your surface if unsure).
|
Heat-welded hems & grommets
Hems fold 1″ of material and heat-seal it for a strong edge. We recommend hems on most vinyl banner orders to reduce edge stress during install and takedown.
Pick the hem layout that matches your hardware:
| Top & bottom hems only – Common default for wide banners hung horizontally with cable or rope. |
All four sides – Heat-welded hems and grommets on every edge when you need perimeter tie-downs or multi-point mounting. |
 |
 |
Pole pockets
2″, 3″, or 4″ pockets wrap the top, bottom, or sides so a pole or rod slides through—no grommets needed through the pocket area.
- 2″ pole pockets – fits poles up to 3/4″ diameter
- 3″ pole pockets – fits poles up to 1 1/4″ diameter
- 4″ pole pockets – fits poles up to 1 1/2″ diameter
Pole pockets do not increase the finished banner size you order.
Not compatible with reinforced hems or reinforced corners.
Reinforced corners
Extra vinyl at each corner with grommets—helps prevent corner tears on large banners and rope-through installs.
Reinforced hems
Webbing bonded into the hem for maximum edge strength—best for oversized outdoor banners and repeated seasonal installs.
Cannot be combined with pole pockets.
Double-sided banner finishing
Double-sided banners can be finished up to 150 sq ft. Larger sizes need a custom quote.
See full details on our vinyl banner finishing options page.
We do not recommend wind slits. Learn why on our wind slit banners page.
Artwork Specs for Custom Vinyl Banners: Print-Ready Files, Proofs & Color Matching
Print-ready artwork guidelines
For the cleanest output on custom vinyl banner printing, submit vector art as .EPS with fonts converted to outlines. We also accept high-resolution PDF or JPG files when images and type are embedded at sufficient quality. Not sure your file is print-ready? Our prepress team can review and advise before production.
Artwork & order proofs
Request an order proof to confirm artwork, size, finishing, pricing, and ship-to details before we print. Your proof includes a low-resolution preview plus an order summary (including billing/shipping). Production starts after you approve—if you request a proof, we hold the job until we receive your approval.
Color Match Proof System
For color-critical brand work, add our Color Match Proof System to align output to your targets. Contact customer service to discuss your project and the best proofing path for your vinyl banner order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What material is used?
Graduation Banners are printed on 13-oz. vinyl gloss, 13-oz. vinyl matte, 18-oz. Heavy-duty matte vinyl as well as mesh, canvas and fabric materials.
How long will it last outdoors?
Our 13 oz vinyl material is intended to last 3-5 years when used outdoors and 7-10 years when used indoors.
How do I hang my Banner?
Our banners are finished with grommets in every corner and at intervals of 2-4 feet around the perimeter. We strongly recommend that you use bungee cords to hang your banner. Grommets work best together, so we also strongly recommend using all of the grommets that come with your product—doing this will help prevent your banner from tearing.
How do I best store my banner to keep reusing it?
To ensure longevity, roll the banner up and keep the printed side out to protect the inks. To prevent the banner from bending, store it in the box it was shipped in. You should also keep your banner out of extreme heat. Avoid windows or other direct sunlight to prevent the banner from fading.
Can I get a special size banner?
Yes! We can print vinyl banners seamlessly up to 16’ x 50’, but if you need a special size banner, then please contact us for a custom quote.
