The incredible banner! There are numerous uses for banners. From interior displays for events to exterior temporary signs for large building signs until a permanent sign is in place. We have even done them to let people know a business is moving. They are also versatile because we can print any image for you to show products, explain services, or anonunce events, or even call attention at trade shows. They can also be made with a variety of vinyl types and fabrics.
General Event Banners
The most common banners for general events are made with 13 or 9 oz vinyl material. Be sure to check out the thinner banner vinyls as they can allow light through if placed against 
windows. We generally use a 13 oz banner vinyl since it is versatile enough to use inddor and outdoor. Also, be sure to specify the number of grommets needed. It helps to know how you plan to hang the banner so you know what the banner will require. Keep in mind that it is wise to roll up a banner for storage so that fold marks do not scratch off the images, espcially if other stuff is piled on top. Taking care of the banner will allow you to use it several times at events through out the year.
Trade Show Banner Displays
There are various options for trade show displays. If you are considering pull up ba
nner stands, we like to use a knock-out banner material that does not allow light through and has a smooth surface finish for a clean sharp printed images. It also has a "no-curl" feature so it does not fold inward while on display. This material comes on a continuous roll so we can print just about any size you may need. We can also supply printed table throws and tents as seen in this picture. There are several sizes and options of these displays so give us a call to find out what might work best for you and we will evaluate your images to see what print method would be best.
Building Banners
When an event calls for a big splash, why not make it epic and install a really large banner that 
attaches to the side of a building! These are either made with mesh banner vinyl or heavy 18oz vinyl banner material. An installer will tell you to use a mesh banner for two reasons. One, it will be lighter, and second, it will allow wind to go through when installing and when installed. A solid banner can become a sail like on a boat and it has plenty of force to take a peron out of a bucket truck! So safety procedures are crucial! The beauty of these banners though is the ability to still print in full color so that your message and image can be displayed in a super large format size.
We have only scratched the surface about discussing banners because there are many ways to create custom banners for other applications. One is pocket pole banners that hang on poles usually along streets. These have sewn-in pockets and are reinforced for durability. So call Epic Signs and graphics today for a free banner consultation and we would be happy to develop a plan for your events this year!
