A Brief History of Banners

Outdoor advertising is rooted in ancient times! In ancient Greece and Rome, traders used wooden plates which read "special offers" in order to attract buyers.The text was painted over with paint, making the plate reusable. This idea was later used in the service sector. Tavern and workshop owners hung metal plates featuring the image of a product that caught the eye of prospects.

In the 1970s, bold banners instantly caught on through Europe. It was at this time that all types of billboards and banners became increasingly popular. Now large-format printed banners containing bright and colorful images appear on shop windows, stands at exhibitions and outdoor venues.

FAQs

We've come up with answers to the most frequently asked questions:

1. What's the difference between fabric and vinyl banners?

Fabric banners are made from polyester fabric while vinyl banners are made out of vinyl. The benefit of fabric is that it can be easily transported. Unlike vinyl banners, cloth banners have a one-of-a-kind look and feel.

2. How does the dye sublimation process work?

Your banner design is printed in reverse on heat transfer paper. Right after it's printed, the paper and the polyester cloth go through a heat transfer device that acts as a large iron, transferring the artwork from the paper directly onto the cloth. This actually dyes the artwork into the cloth, fusing the ink with the fabric.

3. How thick are the banners?

Our cloth banners are made of 5oz or 9oz polyester. These are best used indoors, but they can also be used outdoors for short-term events. Since the threads are tightly woven, polyester banners hold ink very well and create a bright image.

4. Can I change the number or spacing of grommets?

We offer two different options for grommets. You can opt for grommets on all four corners or space them out every 2' for larger banners.

5. How should I hang my banner?

The majority of polyester banners will be hung using pole pockets or grommets. Some banners will use both methods. We don't recommend poking your own holes in the polyester banner to hang it - this will reduce the strength of the material!

6. What is the estimated lifespan of these banners?

Our scratch resistant cloth banners have a lifespan of 1 year when used outdoors and 3 years when used exclusively indoors.The ink on the fabric may start fading due to exposure to the elements after 1 year of outdoor use. If you're looking for a longer-lasting outdoor solution, we suggest using our outdoor banners or 2 sided blockout banners.
