Banners are generally made of a plastic vinyl material. They have a grain similar to cloth. Some though can be made of paper or other types of smooth plastic. They are generally seamed along the top and bottom sides and have grommets (Metal brass or aluminum rings) every 18” or 24” to enable easy hanging. Speedpro generally stocks 24” banner material but can have banners custom made most any size.

Banners can either be digitally printed or be lettered with cut vinyl or a bit of both. They are used for advertising and special events most often. Banners can be hung from the ceiling, in a window, against a wall, under an awning, between posts, across a street, attached to a light pole and anywhere else you can think of. 

Banners are durable both indoor and outdoor. Regular banner material can last several months outdoors or even longer depending on the conditions. If the banner is meant to last longer under hash conditions it can be custom made to last for years.

Banner Care: Because banners are sometimes being removed, stored, transported and re-hung it is possible for the material or the graphics to become damaged. To extend the life of your Speedpro Banner please follow these instructions:

  • When storing a banner, roll it up with the lettering and graphics on the outside. If possible roll the banner on a cardboard core (6” diameter recommended)
  • The banner should be stored on it’s side in a dry, warm area. If it is stored upright (without a cardboard core), it may bend over on itself damaging the lettering.
  • Vinyl banners may be cleaned with soapy water and a rag. A brush or other abrasive tools should not be used to clean the banner.
  • Wait 3 to 4 days after you have picked up you banner before attempting to wash it. This will allow the pressure sensitive graphics to adhere fully to the banner material.
  • Ensure the banner is properly secured. It is recommended to use ‘bungee’ cords to secure the bottom of the banner in high wind areas. The ‘bungees’ will absorb much of the shock created by the wind.
