What should I know about mesh banners and wrinkles?

Mesh banners are made from a perforated vinyl that lets wind pass straight through, which is exactly why they hold up so well on fences and open outdoor spans. That same construction means they handle a little differently than a solid banner when it comes to creasing.

• Shipping creases are normal: larger banners are folded to ship, so light creases can show up on arrival.
• They relax when hung: once the banner is mounted and tensioned, most creases smooth out on their own within a day or two.
• Give it tension: pulling the banner taut across all anchor points speeds up the flattening.

If you need the flattest possible result, such as an indoor display, a smooth vinyl or fabric banner is a better fit than mesh, since mesh is optimized for wind resistance rather than a perfectly flat face.
