Advantages of Vinyl and Fabric Banners
Traditional vinyl banners are known for their durability and resilience in outdoor settings. They are waterproof, fade-resistant, and budget-friendly, making them ideal for long-term exterior use. Fabric banners, on the other hand, offer an aesthetic appeal with a more elegant and less reflective finish, suitable for indoor environments where light absorption and a high-end look are important.
Piedmont Plastics’ SupraFLEX® materials enhance these benefits by catering to both indoor and outdoor applications with specialized products like the Eclipse (Blockout) for double-sided printing and the Breeze (Mesh) for high wind resistance.
Understanding Different Banner Materials
Piedmont Plastics' SupraFLEX® line offers a diverse array of banner materials, each designed with specific features to meet the unique demands of different applications. From outdoor ruggedness to indoor chic, these materials provide adaptable solutions for nearly any setting:
Horizon (Frontlit): Ideal for vibrant, eye-catching displays, this Frontlit material is perfect for indoor and outdoor use, such as in retail environments and at outdoor events.
Curl Free (Scrimless): Specifically designed for indoor use, this Scrimless material offers a smooth appearance, making it ideal for high-end roll-up displays and pop-up banners at trade shows.
Eclipse (Blockout): With its double-sided printing capability, Eclipse is suited for applications requiring opacity and durability, such as street banners and promotional flags visible from both sides.
Breeze (Mesh): Engineered for outdoor use in windy conditions, this mesh material allows air to pass through, making it perfect for large-scale outdoor banners, building wraps, and event signage in exposed areas.
Customization Tips for Effective Banners
For outdoor settings where durability against weather elements is key, vinyl offers robust options with excellent print quality and longevity, particularly Piedmont Plastics' Breeze (Mesh) or Horizon (Frontlit).
For indoor environments where elegance and less light reflection are desired, the Curl Free (Scrimless) fabric or the Eclipse (Blockout) from Piedmont ensures a high-end appearance without glare, making them ideal for trade shows and luxury event spaces. Incorporate clear, vibrant graphics and legible text into your design to catch the eye quickly.
Additionally, it’s important to consider the viewing distance and installation logistics in order to determine the size and placement of grommets or pole pockets.
What About Sustainability?
Piedmont Plastics is committed to sustainability, a core value reflected in its SupraFLEX® line of durable and environmentally friendly materials. Our company is taking significant strides to ensure that these materials, such as the recyclable vinyl used in its banners, contribute to reducing the environmental footprint.
This commitment extends to optimizing manufacturing processes to minimize waste and improve energy efficiency. Piedmont Plastics meets its customers' functional demands and supports eco-friendly initiatives by focusing on its products' longevity and recyclability.
How To Pick The Right Material
Selecting the right banner material is essential for both durability and effective communication. Here’s a simplified guide and checklist to help you choose the best material for your banners:
Selecting the Right Banner Option
