Banners have multiple uses, from creating brand awareness, advertising stockists & products, to event promotion and awareness campaigns. They provide a versatile media for promotion.

What is the difference between a poster and a banner?

There are many similarities between banners and posters, they can both be used to advertise the same marketing messages, both can be printed on waterproof media suitable for outdoor use (although most posters are printed on paper) and they offer temporary advertising.

Posters and banners are printed on different material, our banners are printed on Banner PVC, this is a flexible material, that can be hemmed and eyeletted making it easy to display, with cable ties / string etc. Outdoor posters are generally printed on polypropylene.

Banners tend to be larger and can be printed in all range of sizes from small banners e.g. for advertising s company logo through to extra large that can be used to cover whole walls etc.

What materials are used for banners?

Banner PVC is used, however when extra large banners are required e.g. to cover buildings then a banner mesh is required, to allow the air to pass through.

How long do vinyl banners last?

Banners that are displayed outdoors, will be subject to a variety of weather conditions and therefore it is difficult to advise how long they will last. Designed as a temporary signage product, banners are increasingly being used for longer, how long they can be used for before they start to deteriorate, will depend on where they are displayed and the wear and tear, they endure.
