Question
What is the difference between 13 oz. and 15 oz. vinyl banner material?
Answer
The difference between 13 oz and 15 oz vinyl comes down to weight and durability. The ounce figure refers to how heavy the scrim vinyl is per square yard, so a 15 oz banner is thicker and more rugged than a 13 oz banner.
| Material | Best for |
|---|---|
| 13 oz vinyl | Everyday indoor and outdoor banners where an economical, lighter material works well. |
| 15 oz vinyl | Longer-term outdoor use and windier locations that call for a heavier, sturdier banner. |
If the banner will live outside for a while or face wind, the heavier 15 oz stock gives you extra durability. For standard, shorter-run displays, 13 oz keeps costs down.
