Quotables from this Episode

"..Denier is the weight and diameter of the thread count... in Kansas we do a minimum 1000 denier for all outdoor banners just to hold up to the wind"

"These are our four standard banner materials but we occasionally have customers ask about others ..we can certainly source and process a number of those materials as well"

"..Our 12oz 90/10 Supreme Mesh Banner.. Great for outdoor use as it's about 50% stronger at 1500 denier."

"Another thing about the (12oz) smooth banner material is it does a really good job at small print.. You would lose some of that detail in the scrim on a 13oz banner"

"..One of the more popular finishes that we do for people is pole pockets. A typical pole pocket for us is a 3" flat pocket, and that accommodates a 1" diameter pole"

ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

How long can I expect a banner material to last?All four of our standard banner materials will last approximately 2 years, with slight differences seen between indoor/outdoor use.

Which banner material is best for indoor vs. outdoor use?Our 12oz Smooth Banner is ideal for interior use as it is only about 500 denier. Our 13oz, 18oz Smooth, and 12oz 90/10 Mesh Banners are much stronger, and able to withstand more drastic outdoor conditions but can also be used inside.

What customization + finishing options do you offer for banners? We are capable of customizing your banner with a variety of finishing options. From Heat Welded Hems to Sewn Hems, added Webbing for extra support, Grommets, Pole Pockets, D-Rings, Ropes, and even Velcro. We can also provide you with a Retractable Banner Stand Kit or an Aluminum Panel Frame System to display your banners.

What is the largest banner you offer without a seam?While the largest banner material we currently offer is 10'6" -- but WAIT -- for larger project requirements, we can heat weld multiple pieces together, resulting in a seamless finish at any size.
