Banner Printing Can Produce Temporary Or Permanent Signs

By Adriana Noton

Many people, including businesses, charities and private individuals need banner printing to advertise, provide information or to use as decoration. There are many options to consider when ordering a large sign. These include the design, the material it is printed on and how it will be displayed.

There are many different styles of banner that all serve a different purpose and appeal to a different type of client. The customer should consider how and where it is going to be used before he decides on the type that he orders. Knowing where the sign will be displayed and purpose it will serve will help the printer know how to advise his client.

If it will be used outdoors, the client might want to consider ordering a vinyl banner. These are durable and weather resistant. The ink will not run if it gets wet and the material can be easily wiped clean of dirt if it gets soiled.

A vinyl banner is usually the cheapest option for the client. If the customer is planning on using the sign for a one time occasion such as for an event like a birthday party or awards dinner, he might want to purchase a vinyl model to save money. This type of sign is stiff and can not be folded for storage, but can be rolled and housed in a cardboard tube for protection.

Some banners are printed on fabric. There are many options for fabric including lightweight nylon to heavy canvas. The client should talk with the printers about which grade of fabric will best serve his need

A lightweight fabric is a good choice for a banner that will mostly be used indoors. Some fabric is so lightweight that it is practically transparent. If there will be a light source behind it, this is may not be the best option as the light will make it hard for people to view the image on the front of the sign.

A heavier fabric is likely to hold the ink well and offer vibrant colors in the finished product. This option usually costs more, but it can be an economical option if the sign will be used on a regular basis. The client will want to consider how often and how the sign will be used. If he is using it often, such as at concerts or trade shows, he will want one that will be be durable enough to hold-up with repeated use and will not have to be replaced in a short amount of time.

Canvas banners are heavy and bulky, but are good solutions for some clients. If a business is looking for a permanent or semi-permanent sign solution, they might want to consider canvas. These signs are durable and will hold-up in rain, snow and other types of weather.

The client must also decide on a stand when he orders a banner. There are several different options and a variety of price points. The print company can offer good advise as to which stand to choose. The client should tell the printer which type of stand he wants to order prior to ordering the sign, as this information is necessary so the printer can add grommets or other hardware necessary for hanging.

Banner printing is a good option for those looking for a permanent or temporary sign. There are many options in material and the client should consider all is options before making an educated decision. The print company will be able to direct the client in choosing the material and stand that will best suit his needs.
