0 Comments | Rating: 0

Banners and signs that are customized or purchased pre printed are made with full color, and are digitally printed with photo quality materials and technology on 13 ounce vinyl or mesh. Banners and signs are a great way of letting others know about your clearance sales, hiring status, trade show, garage sales, grand opening and liquidations.

Banners and Signs Facts

Most all quality banners and signs are printed on 13 ounce vinyl to have a longer life than most all other types of signs available on the market. These signs offer hemmed edges at times, to help add strength to the anchor or grommet holes. Some companies offer a turnaround time for less than 3 banners purchased of about 24 hours, with more banners taking up to about 3 business days to deliver the finished product. The most popular sizes of banners and signs are 3 by 8 foot, 3 by 10 foot, 4 by 8 foot and 4 by 4 foot square signs. Most companies will offer you the option of a sign from as small as 2 by 6 foot up to ones as large s 4 by 20 foot. Caring for your banner or sign means keeping it in a cool and dry environment when not in use, and cleaning with a damp cloth when needed without cleaners. The banners and signs should always be rolled with the graphics facing outward to avoid errors with heat from use.

Some companies are seeing these types of signs in thicker grades of vinyl and mesh than the average 13 ounces, and this tends to cause problems. The thicker material does indeed last longer, but does not move well with the weather and can cause the anchors or grommets to become loose and tear away due to high wind areas once it is heated by the sun. The 13 ounce vinyl does not have these problems, as it is light enough to move with the wind and does not put additional pressure on the grommets or anchors. With hemmed edges, your sign will have a longer life than most other cheaply made signs and this should be sought when you purchase.
