Materials
The most commonly used material is a heavy weight vinyl technically known as PVC.
The weights of the different banner substrates range from as light as 9
ounces to as heavy as 22 ounces per square yard, and may be double- or
single-sided. Grommets
can also be added in order to facilitate hanging of the banner. Large
banners (which can be so large that they cover the side of a building)
are printed on a special mesh material so that the wind can pass
through them.
Production of Banner Signs
There are many types of vinyl banner signs
- Digitally printed banners: printed with aqueous (water based), semi-solvent and solvent based inks, which in some printers may be UV-curable
to provide better resistance to the weather. Large format inkjet
printers are usually used, but very large banners may be produced using
computer-controlled jets to spray the ink directly onto the banner
material. Some of the faster wide format inkjet printers are capable of
printing up to 1,600 square feet (150 m2) per hour. These are manufactured by such companies as KVR-pixojet, Mimaki, Jetta, Xerox, Roland, Kodak, Encad, Colorspan and Hewlett-Packard. We own the Roland brand printer Here at Arrowhead Signs & Banners.
- Vinyl lettered banners: produced by applying individual elements cut from self-adhesive vinyl by a computer-driven vinyl cutter. We use the Summa 54" vinyl cutter here to cut vinyl lettering and countour cutting around inkjet prints.
- Screenprinted: produced using screenprinting, in which different colors are laid down one at a time using stencils.
- Painted: hand-painted graphics and lettering. These type of banners are uncommon with the advent of modern printing.
Applications of Banner Signs
Vinyl banner signs have many uses and applications. They are most often
used to promote a company's logo, a special promotion, event, team or
school. Since vinyl is a very flexible as well as portable material you
can see vinyl banners just about anywhere. Vinyl banners are commonly
seen as billboards, table banners, trade show banners, building
banners, street banners as well as stadium flags.
A quality vinyl banner will also use an outside hem to ensure that
Grommets are secured properly. Grommets are the nickel holes that
enable the banner to be hung on fence posts, walls, or on the side of
buildings. In windy conditions, if Grommets are not fastened into the
hem of a vinyl banner, these grommet holes will easily tear out of the
banner.
