By understanding the different aspects of outdoor banners, such as size, materials, and installation methods, you can make informed decisions to create impactful displays that meet your customer’s specific needs. Whether for a business promotion, event, or personal use, outdoor banners offer versatility and customization options to enhance visibility and reach. We answered the most commonly asked questions about outdoor banners:
Q. What are the most popular material choices for outdoor banners?
A. The most popular banner material for both indoor and outdoor use is 15-ounce scrim. It offers durability and versatility. When selecting an outdoor banner, consider the location and placement. If you anticipate high winds or need to hang the banner between two structures, a mesh banner is recommended to allow airflow. The expected duration of banner use also affects the choice of material and finishing options. A 15-ounce scrim vinyl banner with no weld may suffice for a summer period against a flat rigid surface. For longer-term solutions, heat-welded edges can strengthen the banner to withstand various elements.
Q. What size should an outdoor banner be?
A. The size of an outdoor banner depends on the intended location and purpose. Outdoor banners can be customized to meet specific requirements, ensuring optimal visibility and impact.
Q. What are the most popular banner sizes?
A. The most popular banner sizes are typically 2×4 feet and 3×6 feet. However, customization options allow you to select the size that best suits your needs.
Q. How do I print a large banner?
A. Large banners are typically printed on latex or UV gel ink presses, offering vibrant and durable prints. Our printing capabilities allow us to produce banners between 4-8 feet in length, but we can also accommodate longer lengths for special projects, such as 10-20 feet.
Q. What is the maximum size of a banner?
A. The width of banners we produce typically starts at around 24″ and can go up to 60″ depending on the material. Not all materials are available in all sizes. Regarding length, banners are typically between 4-8 feet, but longer banners up to 10-20 feet can be produced for special projects.
Q. Where should I put a banner?
A. Banners can be placed virtually anywhere. With a wide range of material options and hanging methods available, banners offer versatility in their placement.
Q. Where is the BEST location for a banner?
A. Banners can be used or hung in various locations. The ideal location depends on your specific needs. Whether it’s a wall, window, fence, or pole, we can help you find the best banner option based on your intended use and location.
Q. What is the best way to put up a banner?
A. The method of hanging a banner depends on its location. For windows, attaching suction cups to grommets or hanging tabs can be effective. If you’re hanging on a pole or rod, a banner with a pole pocket can be used. Bungee cords are suitable for hanging on a fence, while ropes or adhesive strips are practical for wall-mounted banners.
Q. How much does it cost to put up banners?
A. The cost of banner installation varies based on several factors, including size, location, and complexity. While we don’t handle installations directly, we work with independent installation companies to assist our customers. For the average person, our banners are designed to be easy to put up using grommets and hanging tabs. Simple methods like using ropes, suction cups, or bungees to secure the banners to grommets or hanging tabs are effective for attaching them to surfaces, poles, or fences.
Q. Is there a budget banner type vs. a higher-end one?
A. Yes, there are various material and finishing options for banners. We offer a value banner, which is more suitable for indoor use but can also be used outdoors for short-term applications. While this is the most cost-effective option, it may not be suitable for all applications. Durable banners and mesh banners are higher in price but offer stronger materials and finishing options, making them more versatile and durable for both indoor and outdoor use. The choice depends on the location and expectations for the banner’s application.
Q. Can I upload my own design?
A. Absolutely! We welcome customers to upload their own designs for banners. This allows for greater personalization and ensures that the banner aligns perfectly with your branding and message.
