Ensure the correct banner material / media is chosen for the intended application

e.g. if producing long term outdoor banner graphics, exposed to the elements, Dtec Frontlit Premium 550gsm would be your product of choice.

When finishing banner material always ensure to either single hem for short term indoor banners, or double hem for long term outdoor banners. This is done by folding over the edges to create a 40mm hem. The hem can be held in place by using a high strength adhesive banner tape, or for best results use RF welding equipment. Eyelets should then be fastened every 300mm – this process will prevent any ‘sagging’ and maintain the overall attraction of the graphic / banner.

Wind slits / pockets should never be considered as this weakens the polyester base fabric/yarns and will result in the banner failing in tear resistance. Dtec Mesh 300gsm should be considered for outdoor ‘high wind load’ environments.
