Be sure that you can hang the banners you print with complete confidence...

Heavier Use Signs and Banners  In severe weather, exposed banners should be taken down. But even in normal conditions, an outdoor sign or banner must be strong enough to withstand wind and structural forces: Mesh is an inherently weaker fabric and needs more edge structure. Solid vinyl is a heavier material adding weight to the sign but is still not strong enough to support the loads carried by a single layer or folded-edge grommet. In both cases reinforcement is needed. PVC coated weldable webbing offers superior strength and increased design flexibility:

Light Use, Long Lifespan Signs and Banners  For signs and banners that will be folded, rolled, stored, and hung again many times, weldable webbing is more durable than a doubled-over edge. A definite sales point to add value to your product and better serve your customers.

Light Use, Short Lifespan Signs and Banners  Save the trouble of sewing. Trim to edge on the rear of the banner. (No need to fold webbing.) Simply weld 1" or 2" weldable webbing across the top and bottom of your sign or banner. To prevent curling of the ends, weld a strip down each end as well. Gives a better hem for grommet hold. Some shops charge up to $2 per foot for "premium edging" which is a great markup on a material that costs pennies per yard.
