Banner Material Options

Five 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.

Banner Finishing Options

Finishing Options

Each banner comes with a variety of finishing options to help you install your banner.

Hems & Grommets	Reinforced Hems	Reinforced Corners	Pole Pockets

Is 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 reinforcment.	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 sleve 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.

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

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.

2 Sided Banner Finishing

We can finish 2 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.

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

Our banners are made from premium sun-resistant material. But, as with anything else left in the sun for an extended period of time, it will eventually lose some of its color if left in the direct sun. We recommend storing your Step and Repeat Banner in a dry place out of the sun.
