Question

What is the difference between your outdoor 13oz. scrim vinyl and Indoor 13oz. vinyl?

Answer

Both weigh the same on paper, but they are built for different jobs. Outdoor 13 oz scrim vinyl has an internal scrim, a woven mesh layer that reinforces the material against wind and handling. Indoor 13 oz vinyl is made with a smoother surface tuned for appearance under indoor lighting.

  • Outdoor 13 oz scrim vinyl: reinforced with a scrim layer for weather and wind, better suited to sun and rain.
  • Indoor 13 oz vinyl: smoother finish optimized for color and detail in controlled indoor settings.
  • Rule of thumb: pick scrim for anything facing the elements, indoor vinyl for displays that stay inside.

Matching the material to the environment keeps your banner looking right and lasting as long as it should.
