Have you ever seen those vinyl banners advertising sales and grand openings and wondered how you could get one for your business? This is a great question because not only are banners durable, cost effective and eco friendly they are really easy to order and buy. There are few things to consider when ordering and designing your vinyl banner that will help you make the best choice.

When considering where to buy vinyl banners be aware of what good construction means when speaking of quality banners. All vinyl is water and weatherproof but not all vinyl is the proper weight for most applications. 10oz vinyl is very common and is very cheap compared to heavier weights. This weight will look cheap, crease quickly and be ruined easily by weather elements.

On the other end of the spectrum is 16oz and 18oz material. Many companies advertise using this weight of material; however, while it is sturdy it is often too heave for most traditional uses. This weight is really only good for street banners which are placed high on a pole and have no backing support. They will experience higher winds and be left out for much longer than a regular sales banner. This extra weight can even make it harder to hang your banner and make it more likely for your banner to fall. The weight you should look for is 13oz material. This offers the durability you need while being light enough to be hung easily. It is also more affordable than the 16oz or 18oz.

Other construction elements you should be aware of are the stitching and grommets, if any. The stitching should go all around all four sides of the banner, otherwise fraying will happen too easily. The grommets, or holes, in the banner should be reinforced with metal and be spaced every two to three feet depending on how large the banner is. Three feet apart is acceptable for very large banner but smaller ones will do better with two feet between. This placement will ensure that your banner is easy to hang and will lie well without billowing out. You will not need to cut slits in the banner to prevent this; proper hanging will allow the banner to hang without a problem.

As for the actual ordering of your banner you will do well to look online. Few retail stores offer banners in anything but cheap, small varieties that are used primarily for birthday parties and anniversary parties and other similar celebrations. They are cheap looking and unprofessional for your business. Online companies offer a greater variety with more better quality.

Banners are probably the oldest way of advertisement. This fact applies to both when we are talking about the real world or the Internet.
