Banners can be essential marketing tools to advertise an upcoming event, a new business, a special product, and more! They are big statements that can quickly grab attention to help spread an announcement. Banners are one of many types of signage we offer at Vedda Printing, so here is a quick guide about important things to consider when ordering your next banner.

Types of Banners

First, you need to decide where you want your banner to go. If you are headed outdoors for an event, scrim vinyl might be your best option. If it will be going on a pole or is going to be double sided, we offer an 18 oz pole banner that is both weatherproof and extremely durable. If your banner will be staying inside, the 14 oz smooth banner should do the trick. We also offer a 13 oz scrim vinyl suitable for both indoors and outdoors. The 18 and 13 oz scrim vinyl has a rougher texture than the 14 oz smooth, which may influence your decision. 

Regardless of choice, you have a range of finishing options from heat-welded hems, reinforced hems, grommets, pole pockets, and also wind slits for challenging outdoor applications.

Hanging the Banner

There are two potential solutions if you plan to hang up the banner where the wind is a concern. We have a mesh material option with many tiny holes that make it wind resistant. The material is less vibrant, but it is the best option for intense conditions outdoors. If less vibrancy is a deal breaker, we can put wind slits in other banner materials to help increase wind resistance.

There are multitudes of ways that banners can be displayed. We install grommets every two feet to provide flexibility when hanging with string or hooks. Pole pockets are also an option if you have a step and repeat banner. Additionally, we offer pop-up banners that velcro to the hardware and can be pulled up or collapsed. An example can be seen in one of our TikToks.

Size and Color

What about size and color limitations? At Vedda, there aren’t any limits on the sizes of banners we can make. While the rolls we print are capable of 10’ finished width, they can be as long as needed. Anything “too big” can be neatly sewn together with all edges reinforced and hemmed. 

Colors can be important for marketing and branding. Because our banners are digitally printed, there are no color limitations or extra charges. You don't need to settle for a single-sided banner either, as we can print double-sided!
