Frequently Asked Questions Return to Top
What vinyl banner material should I choose: 13 oz vs. 18 oz?
13 oz vinyl is lighter and great for most indoor and outdoor uses. 18 oz vinyl is extra heavy-duty and ideal for harsher outdoor conditions and longer-term use.
How long do vinyl banners last outdoors?
Our 13 oz vinyl material is intended to last 3–5 years when used outdoors and 7–10 years when used indoors.
Are vinyl banners weatherproof and UV-resistant?
Yes! Vinyl banners are printed on durable, weather-resistant vinyl which is designed to brave most elements.
What’s the best banner for windy locations?
Mesh banners are best for high-wind areas because they allow air to pass through, reducing stress on the banner and mounting hardware.
Do I need hems, and when?
Hems add strength and durability. They’re recommended for outdoor use, windy environments, or larger banners.
Do vinyl banners come with grommets?
Yes. Our standard finishing option includes heat-welded hems with grommets placed in all four corners and every 2–4 feet around the banner perimeter. You can use bungee cords and hanging clips to help secure your banner.
How are grommets placed, and can I choose placement?
Standard grommet placement includes the corners plus spacing approximately every 30 inches around the edges. Custom placement is not recommended because exact positioning cannot be guaranteed.
Can I order custom sizes or shapes?
Custom sizes are available. Custom shapes are limited to square or rectangular banners.
What are pole pockets, and what size do I need?
Pole pockets are sewn sleeves that allow a pole or rod to slide through for hanging. Choose the size based on your pole diameter and display method:
- 2" Pole Pocket: Fits a pole up to 3/4" in diameter
- 3" Pole Pocket: Fits a pole up to 1 1/4" in diameter
- 4" Pole Pocket: Fits a pole up to 1 1/2" in diameter
What finish should I choose: gloss or matte?
Gloss enhances color vibrancy, while matte reduces glare and improves readability under bright lighting or at angles. Matte is the most popular choice among customers.
Can vinyl banners be used indoors and outdoors?
Yes. Vinyl banners are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Outdoor lifespan depends on sun exposure, wind conditions, and installation method.
What file types and resolution work best for printing?
Print-ready PDFs work best. Use high-resolution artwork (typically 150+ DPI at final size) and convert fonts to outlines when possible.
Will I receive a proof before printing?
Yes. If requested, we will email a proof for your approval prior to printing.
How do I hang a vinyl banner securely?
Use bungee cords through the grommets and maintain even tension. Avoid over-tightening, as this can cause tearing in windy conditions.
What is the best way to clean my vinyl banner?
Use lukewarm water and mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive materials, power washers, or stiff brushes, and use soft towels to protect the printed surface.
How do I best store my banner to keep reusing it?
Roll the banner with the printed side facing outward, store it in its original box, and keep it away from extreme heat or direct sunlight.
