Hanging or standing banners are a key component of any indoor or outdoor event. Simple to set up and lightweight, banners enable you to put up your event branding wherever you need it, quickly and efficiently – on the fly, if necessary. You can print a full-color digital image of your choice on either vinyl or fabric – though vinyl is recommended for outdoor events, as it is waterproof and easier to keep clean. To maximize your branding some banners can be printed on both sides if you prefer.

What are the Benefits of Hanging Banners?

Hanging vinyl banners help attendees to locate your exhibition space, as well as providing bold, recognizable branding and giving you the ability to take full advantage of all the available marketing space. They are impossible to miss, ensuring that you are easily visible to visitors, and that you stand out in the most impactful way possible. At some events, such as trade shows, the venues are busy in both a visual and physical sense, which means you need signage that will help your visitors navigate the area, acting as a beacon to direct them toward your stand.

What is the Best Production Technique for Banners?

The best technique for printing banners depends on the material you choose, i.e., vinyl or fabric. Vinyl is the best option for outdoor events, and is best printed through a direct digital imprint process. The best choice for fabric banners is dye sublimation. These processes allow for high-quality image reproduction and durability.

What is a Banner Stand?

A banner stand is a portable, collapsible display stand featuring a high-quality printed banner. They can be either a retractable banner, like a reverse window shade that rolls up into its base, or an X-type banner where the material hooks onto grommets in each corner of the frame. They usually come with carry bags and can be folded up for easy storage and transport. Banner stands are ideal for trade shows and any branding opportunities where it is important to have bold, unmissable advertising materials that can be set up and broken down quickly and easily.

Maintenance & Storage of Vinyl Banners After the Event

Vinyl banners can last anywhere between two and 12 years. The 10-year difference comes down to care and maintenance. A banner that is well cared for can easily last for 12 years, and maybe more. However, if you store, transport and clean banners incorrectly, it can have a considerable impact on its longevity. Clean your banners with a light touch, using water with a small amount of mild detergent. Banners should always be rolled rather than folded and should always be stored out of sunlight to prevent discoloring, as well as wear and damage to the vinyl.
