Posted by Charlie Jones on March 12th, 2019

Due to the extensive and versatile use of visual advertising, banner materials have become very popular with customers. They have different weights and different structures. Banner printing is most commonly used for large format production but is also suitable for smaller exhibits.

The most popular vinyl materials are:

Front-lit Banner:

The PVC-coated fabric is characterized by high tensile strength and resistance to adverse weather conditions. It is perfect for both indoor and outdoor banner printing use. Front-lit banner has a basis weight of about 500 g / m2 and its maximum width is 5m without welding. Larger advertising messages are welded together as webs so that the combination is visible, but this does not affect the graphics.

Mesh Banner:

Vinyl signs material is designed primarily for large external exposures. Due to the lattice structure, which allows air and light to pass through, it is perfect for large advertising messages, for example on buildings. Mesh banner advertising is lightweight, weather resistant and its colour saturation is excellent. Mesh banner has a width of 5 m and has a basis weight of about 270 g / m2. When the PVC banner is needed in a certain size, individual webs of the mesh banner material are welded together to form a whole mesh banner.

Blockout Banner:

Blockout banner is a cheap outdoor banners option. This is a special material that allows double-sided printing. Thanks to the black interlayer, which is not translucent, both sides are clearly visible and there is no optical mixing of the graphics. As a vinyl material, Blockout Banner is also resistant to atmospheric conditions and with a basis weight of 650 g / m2 is also very robust and tear-resistant.

Which materials are used to carry out which advertising campaigns?
