A guide to the different types of PVC banners
If you’re looking for high-quality, high-impact and durable graphics on a larger scale, PVC banners are the choice for you. Most commonly used for outdoor advertising, events and displays, they are ideally placed to grab attention from the masses. They are increasingly more popular than their traditional paper and plastic counterparts owing to their quality and long shelf life. So, what are the different types of PVC banners? Let’s take a look:
PVC Banners
Made from a solid vinyl material, they are strong, flexible and weather-resistant, making them the ideal solution for outside use, as well as indoor use, for long periods of time.
They are much more durable and require much less maintenance than paper-based banners. Easier to manage, erect and remove, they can be used again, and again, making for a more convenient and economical solution for businesses. The solid material offers complete coverage with pre-cut eyelets allowing easy installation. And with proper care, these banners can last for several years, creating a cost-effective solution
Mesh PVC Banners
A lightly lighter and airier version, mesh banners are popular for outdoor areas that experiences more extreme weather conditions. The small holes in the mesh material offer a level of transparency which may be required in certain aspects of marketing, such as allowing air to pass through more easily, making them ideal for windier locations. And the holes can also help to reduce glare from the sun or artificial lighting to make the banner more visible. The holes can also, however, result in a reduction of detailing from the graphics so may not be the ideal solution when full coverage is required.
PVC Free Banners
Offering the same benefits as PVC banners, these PVC free banners are the environmentally friendly option, offering a PVC-free alternative from a blend of polyester and polypropylene fibres. Biodegradable and recyclable, these banners are more sustainable in comparison to traditional PVC banners. Like PVC banners, they can be stored and reused again and again for future events, reducing waste. No harmful chemicals are released into the environment during production or disposal, and the quality of graphics mimics that of PVC banners, PVC free banners are a popular choice for companies who are looking to promote their products and/or services in an environmentally and sustainable way.
