Banner Installation---Stop the Sail Effect?

OK, you received your banner...Question is, how do you hang the banner up?
Most people, when they think of a banner display, they think of your typical banner install between two trees or light posts...That's great, but when you have invested a couple hundred dollars into a banner, the last thing you want to see is your banner flying away in the wind.
Our suggestion for banner installation to help keep this problem from happening is to provide your banner with a guide wire to help distribute the weight evenly across the whole banner.
When dealing with large banner prints and there is no backing for the banner to rest against it, is almost inevitable your banner will become a large sail once the wind picks up. No matter if your banner is stitched and hemmed for durability, a grommet is sure to pop out of the banner if there is too much stress placed upon it. If displaying a banner in between two objects is the only means of installation for you, you definitely need a guide wire fro your banner installation. You want to place the guide wire behind the banner on the top and bottom of the banner. Once the guide wire is set, you want to secure the banner providing even distribution of the banner weight across the wires. Doing this helps to keep the banner nice and taught so there is no stress on any particular part of the banner. Installation of a banner is just as important as the banner itself, when done properly this can make the difference in how your banner is viewed.

Digitallly Printed Banner vs. Vinyl Cut Banners.....Which is right for you?

When purchasing a banner, whether it's for a "Grand Opening" event; "Trade Show" or even a "Construction Site", most of us just want a banner that can be hung...Right? We don't know if we need a "Full Color Digital" print or a "Vinyl Cut Lettered" banner...

Like most people in need of a banner, your probably not sure what the difference is. Well, even though both type of banners are very durable and rugged. You will see that a "Full Color Digital" banner works best for someone who wants to add bright vibrant color and may have logos or graphics that they would like to display.

When choosing a "Full Color Digital" banner, you want to make sure that you have a nice high resolution image or graphic. Full color digital print banners are used not only to draw attention, but to shock and awe anyone and everyone who is within viewing distance. Full color digital banners are printed at a very high resolution to ensure that you achieve the rich photo quality you are looking for. Full color digital banners are perfect for not only indoor, but durable enough for outdoor display as well. Full color digital banners should be printed with eco-friendly solvent based inks (fade resistant), to help the image keep its beautiful look year after year.

On the other hand, maybe you just want to advertise your building "FOR LEASE"...Short, sweet and simple - no glitz or glamour, just straight to the point advertising. This is where Vinyl lettered banners come into play. Vinyl lettered banners are a great value for your advertising budget. Vinyl lettered banners are for those in need of advertising just the facts...Who, What, When, Where and Why. Unlike a Full color digital print banner, the Vinyl lettered banner does not get digitally printed. Instead, the Vinyl lettered banner is assembled by cutting out all your text from self- adhesive vinyl and adhering it to a vinyl banner. Durable for outdoor as well as indoor. Simple yet effective.

Now that you know what type of options you have when choosing a banner, the only thing left is to determine what size banner works best for you... No worries.
