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.
