Question

What is the difference between standard and premium vinyl banners?

Answer

Standard and premium vinyl banners differ mainly in material weight and how they handle weather over time. Standard 13 oz vinyl covers the vast majority of indoor and outdoor jobs, while premium options use thicker, higher-opacity material that resists wind and holds color longer.

  • For short-term events, standard 13 oz is more than enough.
  • For banners that stay outdoors for months, premium material pays for itself in lifespan.
