This giant banner has been installed opposite the TD BankNorth
Garden in
Boston for over two years. It is bolted into the brick wall with
concrete anchors and washers through a frame of PVC-Coated Weldable
Webbing. (It must have brought good fortune for the '08 Celtics
as they played to regain their dynasty status.)
Build a Better Banner!
Especially with wide-format printing, the new generation of large banners and vinyl
signs
are beautiful, impressive, entertaining, and powerful tools of
communication...
Be sure that you can install the banners you print with complete
confidence.
Weldable webbing lets you strengthen your vinyl fabric creations where
needed.
Construction Applications:
-
Trim to Edge: adds a frame of reinforced edge structure and grommet reinforcement.
Many times stronger than simply folding over the thin banner fabric.
Pocket Seam Reinforcement: Apply webbing over the seam where
webbing is folded onto itself for a stronger pocket. Apply a length of
webbing at ends of pockets.
Radiated Grommet Reinforcements: weld short lengths of webbing
over edge webbing to take up additional load at corners and other
grommet points.
Structural Members: At seams or simply
across the span of a heavy or highly stressed sign or banner, weld
material the full length of the fabric and insert grommets into the
webbing ends. The load on the sign is thus born entirely by the
webbing.
* PVC coated weldable webbing performs equally well
with high frequency, hot-air, and wedge welding. We will be happy to
refer inquiries to manufacturers of equipment of various welding methods
if you desire more information. Note that for smaller banners and signs
you can also install the lighter weights of this webbing with an
appropriate vinyl cement. Please call 800-225-3577 with technical
questions.
This is a short ".mpeg" video of webbing being welded onto a
banner using a small shop welder to quickly finish three sides of a mesh
banner.
What you will see is: first, a pole pocket fold and then three sides
getting webbing. Note that at one point, the webbing gets off line along
the edge so the operators remove it, flip it over, and apply it again.
The key technique to note here is how the operators first anchor a short
tail of webbing and then run the welder away from the anchor point.
There is no narration, just machine noise, so turn your sound down.
