Standard Size Banners

The Perfect Banner For Any Job

 

Vinyl banners are printed on high-quality 13oz scrim vinyl banner material. The scrim vinyl is a woven fiber inside the material that gives the banner extra strength. You can use banners indoor and outdoor for many different occasions.

Vinyl banners are digitally-printed in full color. You can select one of our banner templates to customize in the online designer with backgrounds, clip-art and text. You can also upload your own images.

Six Customizable 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.

13 oz Matte Vinyl Banners

Our high-quality 13 oz matte vinyl banner material is our most popular banner material. It has a low shine and rich color gamut.

13 oz Gloss Vinyl Banners

Our high-quality 13 oz gloss vinyl banner material has a high shine to it that produces vibrant, crisp colors and graphics to give it a high-end look.

18 oz Vinyl Banners

Our extra heavy-duty matte 18 oz vinyl banner material is our toughest material. It has a low luster, blockout coating for extra durability and print quality. 

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.

Fabric Banners

Made with a premium nylon/polyester blend material called Banner Soft. This fabric is ideal for indoor displays and has a low shine that produces a high-end look and feel.

Adhesive Banners

Standard Tack Vinyl: Standard tack vinyl can be used both indoors and outdoors, with an outdoor lifespan of 3 to 5 years when properly installed and maintained.

Extreme Tack Vinyl: Extreme Tack vinyl is white calendered vinyl material with a high tack adhesive that is specifically designed to adhere to low energy surfaces.

Standard Size Banner Finishing Options

Hems & Grommets Reinforced Hems Reinforced Corners Pole Pockets
Vinyl Banners Hems and Grommet Finishing | Banners.com Vinyl Banner Reinforced Hem Finishing | Banners.com Vinyl Banner Reinforced Corner Finishing | Banners.com Vinyl Banner Pole Pocket Finishing | Banners.com
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.
Top and Bottom Grommets Only Example All 4 Sides Hems & Grommets Example

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.

More About Standard Size Banners Return to Top

From 1 to 50 feet long, these banners are completely customizable for any job, operation, or event. These standard size banners are the bread and butter of display ads.

Choose between three vinyl banner material options: heavy-duty 18-oz vinyl, 13-oz premium matte, or 13-oz premium gloss. 

The extra heavy-duty 18-oz option offers increased durability and resilience. It is perfect for those who want to display banners outdoors for a long period of time. Our 13-oz options will still provide ample durability indoors and outdoors, though it is not designed for harsh weather. 

If you intend to use your banner indoors, then we suggest ordering it in the matte finish. We suggest this option because interior lighting tends to glare or glint off of gloss finished banners. However, both finishing options are perfectly suitable for indoor and outdoor use. If you choose to create a custom banner with mesh or fabric material, you will be redirected to the corresponding pages. Some common uses for these banners are personalized church banners, custom school banners, & event banners!

Installation & Product Care FAQs

How do I Install my banner?

Hems and grommets or pole pockets can be added to your standard size banner. We recommend placing ball bungees on ALL grommets provided if you select hems and grommets. This will spread the tension uniformly, resulting in a banner that is as clean and wrinkle-free as possible. Our standard grommet size for banners is 1/2 inches in diameter.

Our pole pockets are another way to hang your new banner. There will be no increase in the end size of your banner if pole pockets are chosen. Pole pockets come in three sizes: 2", 3", and 4". When choosing pole pockets, we don't recommend placing any text or images within 3 inches of the banner's edge.

Pole Pocket Finishing Options

  • 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

Not sure how to properly install your banner? Check out our how to hang a banner blog article or watch our how to hang your banner using ball bungees video. 

How do I properly store my banner?

When your custom vinyl banner is not being used, make sure that you roll the banner up. Keep the printed side out when you roll the banner to protect the inks. To prevent the banner from bending, you should keep the box it was shipped in and store it in there. You should also keep your banner out of extreme heat. Avoid windows or other direct sunlight.

How do I remove wrinkles from my standard size banners?

After receiving your vinyl banner, you may notice it has some creases or wrinkles. This is due to it being rolled up and stored for shipping. If you wish to get rid of these unsightly wrinkles from your custom vinyl banner, we recommend two options.

Option one: Unroll your vinyl banners and place them in the hot sun for a few hours. The wrinkles should come out.

Option two: We recommend using a clothing steamer with a refillable water tank.

Use the steamer much like you would with a piece of clothing and this steamer should take the wrinkles right out! We recommend using a clothing steamer with a refillable water tank.

For more information, check out our YouTube video on how to remove wrinkles from your banner.

Are they wind resistant banners?

In a light breeze or small gust, yes they should work fine. If you need a banner for a super windy location, then try our mesh vinyl material. Mesh is designed to allow air-flow through the material to prevent tearing. Our mesh banners can also be ordered in standard outdoor banner sizes.

Are banners easy to clean?

Yes. If your banner succumbs to the elements or gets dirty, then just get some lukewarm water and a cloth to wipe it off. You can also add soap, but avoid using harsh chemicals.
