Mesh Banners are a popular outdoor signage that are manufactured with a strong polyester material that features crisscrossed fiber pattern. This criss cross pattern allows for a 37% airflow through the material itself making them a great option for displaying on fences or high wind areas for outdoor events.
You’ll most commonly see mesh signs displayed on fences at sporting events, construction sites, and storefronts. This is the ideal banner option for these wind susceptible locations because the mesh material design allows air to travel through the banner, thus reducing the chances of it tearing.

What material is a mesh banner made of?
Our mesh banner material is made of 8 oz. PVC polyester with a 70/30 vinyl-to-hole ratio, creating approximately 37% airflow.
How large or how small can my mesh banner be?
Mesh banners can be ordered as small as 1' × 1' and as large as 50' × 16'.
What are the benefits of using mesh banners versus vinyl banners?
Mesh banners are designed to reduce wind resistance by allowing airflow through the material, which helps prevent tearing. Vinyl banners are better for maximum color vibrancy and fine detail.
Are mesh banners good for windy locations?
Yes. Mesh banners are ideal for high-wind environments such as fences, scaffolding, and outdoor events because they reduce wind load.
Do mesh banners look see-through?
Up close, the holes are visible. From a normal viewing distance, the printed design appears clear while still allowing airflow and some light to pass through.
Will my design lose detail when printed on mesh?
Some vibrance and fine detail may be reduced due to the mesh material. Approximately 30% of detail is lost, so larger text and bold graphics work best.
What size text works best on a mesh banner?
Larger, bolder fonts are recommended. Thin lines and very small text may lose clarity compared to vinyl banners.
Are mesh banners printed in full color?
Yes, all mesh banners are printed in full CMYK color.
Can I order double-sided mesh banners?
No. Mesh banners are printed on one side only. Double-sided printing is available for select vinyl banner options.
What finishing option is best for mesh fence banners?
Reinforced hems with grommets are the most common choice. They help distribute tension evenly and improve durability outdoors.
How far apart should grommets be for outdoor mesh banners?
Standard grommet placement is every 2–3 feet along the edges, with additional grommets at the corners for stability.
What is the best way to hang a mesh banner?
Ball bungees are recommended because they provide flexibility and even tension. Rope can work but may cause stress if overtightened. Zip ties are not recommended.
Can mesh banners be used in rain and sun?
Yes. Mesh banners are designed for outdoor use. Proper installation helps extend their lifespan in harsh conditions.
How long do mesh banners typically last?
With proper installation and storage, mesh banners typically last up to 2 years.
What file type and resolution should I upload for best print quality?
Vector files are ideal. For raster artwork, upload a high-resolution file at the final print size or larger for the best results.
