Popular Banner Types:

amsecbannerStandard Printed Vinyl Banner (Most popular - Glossy): Digitally printed on 13 oz. glossy vinyl banner material with straight cut edges and grommets in all four corners. This is our most popular banner type and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Standard printed banners can be ordered up to 52 inches in height by any width length.

Standard Rip-Resistant Printed Vinyl Banner (Matte): For standard digital banner printing our rip-resistant banner is a good choice for banners that will be outdoors for long periods of time. The durable cross-weave pattern of the white matte vinyl banner material gives this banner extra strength of the standard banner above. The edges are all straight cut with corner grommets included.

Both banner types can be ordered with extra grommets for added hanging stability.

Extra large printed banners include any banners that measure over 52 inches in height. These banners also take a bit more time to produce in comparison to our standard printed banner or standard rip-resistant banner, because of the stitching, to be completed for pick-up or shipping usually averaging about 5 to 7 business days production time.


silk screen banners homeSilk Screen Printed Banner: Silk screened banners are definitely old-school and a somewhat dated banner type. Silk screen banners require a set of specially made "screens" to be used when applying all teh different colors the banner calls for. Time-consuming and somewhat expensive, silk screen printed banners, are only cost effective if ordered in bulk (think 50 banners plus) or have specific spot color requirements that digital printing can't accommodate.


cut vinyl bannerLettering Only Banners: A very simplistic banner style without any detailed graphics, lettering only banners, are achieved from cut vinyl lettering being placed on a blank colored vinyl banner (white, blue, red, black, etc.) Vinyl lettering is cut to shape and applied directly to the face of the blank banner. A lettering only banner is really only a necessity over a printed banner when you will need to be changing out dates or information on the banner since the vinyl letters can be peeled off for new lettering to be applied.


mesh banner homeMesh Banners (wind-friendly): Mesh banners are fairly new to the banner market offering brilliantly virbrant prints on a perforated vinyl banner material which makes them super wind friendly. Typical standard printed banners have a tendency to act as a sail in windy weather because of their more solid nature. But since mesh banners are printed on a vinyl banner substrate with thousands of tiny little holes, when hung in windy areas, this banner type more easily allows the wind to flow through it. Another neat characteristic of a mesh banner type is it's semi-transparent qualities which allow for a somewhat see-through quality on either side of the banner.


 flag bannersFlag Banners (fabric wind banners): Flag banners have become super popular for indoor and outdoor advertising, especially in spaces with limited display options, or for outdoor wind-friendly advertising. Flag banners are fabric in nature, with a sewn in sleeve on the spine of the banner, that easily slides onto specially designed pole systems that allow the banner to spin 360 degrees in either direction. Flag (wind) banners can accommodate a single-sided or double-sided print. We offer two different print styles (feather-shaped or tear drop shape) and three size options of each style.
