Question
What materials are available for Custom Banners?
Answer
Custom banners come in a few core materials, and the right one depends on where and how long the banner will be displayed.
Vinyl is the most popular choice because it is waterproof, UV-resistant, and works with grommets, pole pockets, or hemmed edges. If you are unsure, match the material to the environment first: outdoor and windy points to vinyl or mesh, indoor and polished points to fabric.
| Material | Best for |
|---|---|
| Vinyl | Outdoor durability, waterproof and UV-resistant, handles wind, rain, and sun without fading quickly |
| Fabric | Indoor events and premium displays, a softer wrinkle-resistant matte look with no glare under lights |
| Mesh | High-wind spots like fences and building exteriors, tiny perforations let gusts pass through |
| Blockout | Double-sided banners, an opaque center layer stops one side from showing through to the other |
