Banners
Which banner material should I choose?
4 min read
Short answer
Solid PVC suits most general banners; mesh is usually better where wind exposure is a concern because air can pass through the perforations. Fabric is generally chosen for lighter, more display-led applications.
PVC banner media is available in different weights and constructions. Choose the actual material from the site, required handling, finishing and exposure rather than assuming one GSM is automatically right for every banner.
Mesh PVC is perforated so wind passes through. Use it on fences, scaffolding and any exposed site where a solid banner would act like a sail.
Common finishing options include hems, eyelets and pole pockets, but the required finishing should be chosen around the intended fixing method and supporting structure.
For indoor or short-term use, lighter banner or fabric options may be suitable where the product specification supports the application.
For exposed or elevated installations, wind loading and the supporting structure need proper consideration. Mesh can reduce wind loading compared with solid banner media, but the complete installation still needs to be suitable for the site.
