Question

What's the difference between mesh and vinyl banners at the same size?

Answer

At the same dimensions, mesh and solid vinyl behave very differently in wind. Solid vinyl gives you the most vivid, uninterrupted color, while mesh has thousands of tiny perforations that let air pass through, sharply reducing the load on your mounting points.

  • Choose solid vinyl when color punch matters and wind is not a factor.
  • Choose mesh for any exposed, windy installation where a solid banner would billow or tear.
