Types of banners are generally categorized according to their materials. They can be non-textile or made of fabric. Let’s begin with the first category.

Vinyl

Vinyl signs and banners are very widely used by businesses. The ultimate reason for this is their durability: the material is strong enough to be ideal for outdoor usage.

Custom vinyl signs stand out from other types of outdoor banners due to their resistance to different weather conditions, including sun, rain, and snow. Yet this doesn’t mean that you can only use them outdoors: they look excellent indoors too.

Polyvinyl banners can help you make all your creative dreams come true. They are available in different textures, finishes (gloss, matte), weights, and densities. This last option allows you to specify the desired durability, depending on your needs. A standard weight is 13oz (per square foot).
To summarize, the advantages of vinyl banner signs are:

• A wide variety of textures and finishes
• Waterproof
• Long-lasting
• Fade resistance
• Crips, bright colors

As for the drawbacks, there is really only one: vinyl banners tend to wrinkle with time. Despite this minor con, custom vinyl banner signs are ideal if you’re looking for resistance and durability.

Let’s take a closer look at the other vinyl options.

Mesh Vinyl

Custom mesh banners are pretty similar to traditional vinyl signs. They boast waterproofness and fare-resistance. The main difference is that they are semi-transparent: the material is made out of crisscrossed fibers. They provide space for air flows and allow sound to pass through. Thus, it’s a better solution for windy areas than, for instance, wind slits that aren’t very aesthetically pleasing.

The mesh texture doesn’t diminish the quality of an image. These 10-ounce vinyl banners are printed in full color, and won’t fade away. Although it’s more expensive, the investment is worth it if you’re looking for a sign that will last for years without degrading.

Mesh vinyl is best used outdoors. Usually, it’s used in construction or development zones to separate construction workers from pedestrians.
Bright printing can promote the building (for instance, offer offices/apartments for sale) or other services and products. However, you could also use them in any open area with a strong wind to prevent a “sail effect”.

Outdoor mesh banners are a reasonable investment in terms of their price/quality ratio. After all, you get a durable, waterproof, fade, and wind-resistant sign that can be reused for years and years to come.

If you have doubts about large-sized banners, we can set your mind at rest. Such signs are finished with heat welded hems and grommets. Moreover, they can be additionally reinforced with pole pockets.

Adhesive Vinyl Banners

Adhesive vinyl banners differ from vinyl signs and banners in terms of the method required to set them up. Typically, it’s a free-standing construction, made using tools like ropes and poles.

A key feature of an adhesive banner is that you can just stick it to a surface and forget about it. This surface can be any smooth surface, from a wall to a window.

The ultimate advantage of adhesive vinyl signs is security. As it sticks, you don’t need to worry about the wind blowing it over or the sign flapping loudly. Along with this, there is no need to purchase additional tools for installation, like a bungee cord or poles.

Fabric Banners

Fabric banners stand out from vinyl ones due to their long-lasting printing. Typically, they boast a better look and feel. This is due to the printing techniques used on fabric banners.

Digital methods are suitable for vinyl signs, whilst direct dye sublimation is used for fabric banners. In this method, pressure and heat application force the ink through the expanded fabric cells. This contributes to better absorption than in digital printing, where the ink sits on top of the material.

As a result of this technique, fabric banners look similar to actual photographs. It makes them more aesthetically appealing and last longer, as their colors don’t fade. Printing can be done on satin fabrics, which have a glossier finish, or soft fabrics – the most common type. Fabric banners are usually finished with a folded sewn hem and grommets for hanging.

Their usage isn’t limited to indoors, yet this is preferable. This isn’t one of the most popular types of outdoor banners, as fabric banners aren’t weather resistant. Indoors, on the other hand, they can be used in many different ways. You can apply them as window displays, curtains, tablecloths, exhibition backdrops, and more.

All in all, fabric hanging banners are ideal for indoor usage. With outstanding printing skills, the banner’s colors won’t fade, even after years of use. Moreover, the material is prone to scratches. If you are looking for a brightly colored and durable material to use indoors, order fabric banners NYC from Fortuna Visual Group.

Canvas Banners

Canvas banners are produced from high-quality cotton duck canvas. This is a durable material which is usually used for heavy-duty applications, including workwear, boat sails, etc. Due to their robustness and wind-resistance, custom fabric banners can last for years. Despite this, they are mostly used indoors, in order to preserve the quality of the image displayed.

Additionally, the image quality of these banners printed on canvas is outstanding. This material and the correct printing technique consistently deliver high-resolution images.

The material and printing technique also contributes to the banner’s artistic appearance: fabric hanging banners with semi-gloss finishes look as if they’re hand-painted. Moreover, the woven texture perfectly completes the artistic look, creating a pleasing aesthetic.

This artistic quality makes these banners perfect for art events. For example, they guarantee a professional and classy look for exhibitions, fairs, concerts, etc.

Furthermore, the texture can become the finishing touch of a creative advertising campaign. As you can see, canvas fabric banners NYC can be an effective marketing solution for almost any business.

Poly Knit and Poly Satin Banners

Poly knit, and poly satin banners have become a popular choice of materials for fabric banners and signs. The primary reason for this is that polyester is widely available on the market. Therefore, these banners are more affordable.

Poly knit is the more popular material choice for the custom fabric banners in this category. It can be stretchy or non-stretchy.

The former is used for trade shows or hanging displays, while the latter is used for fabric hanging banners suspended from the ceiling. There is no need to worry about the banner’s smoothness or fear any creasing. Usually, there is an added weight at the bottom pole pocket, which guarantees that your banner looks the best it can.

Fabric banners NYC can be made of a poly-satin material. This is essentially pretty similar to the poly knit one. However, this one requires special care regarding storage.

Since poly satin banners are notorious for wrinkling, they must be rolled up during transportation or storage. As for an advantage, there are several types of knits: lightweight, medium, and heavy-weight knits.

Acrylic Signs

Two key benefits of acrylic signs are their affordability and a wide variety of options. The latter makes them an ideal choice to fulfill any of your needs. Since custom acrylic signs are produced with the help of a computer-guided mechanism, they can be produced in almost any shape.

Exclusive laser technology can deliver an acrylic logo sign, which could be an ideal finishing touch for your branding strategy.

Acrylic signs are an excellent substitute for glass. They are made out of transparent, colorless cast polymer, which is more durable. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about safety when it comes to acrylic office signs.

If this is what you’re looking for, keep in mind that you have to specify which type of an acrylic sign board you would like to order:

1. Frosted acrylic signs aren’t completely see-through, but are partially translucent. They are best used with a diffusing light that provides a frosted effect for your acrylic business sign. These signs are most frequently used for receptions and as direction signs.
2. Clear acrylic signs are lightweight and durable. The reason for this is the thermoplastic materials they’re made out of. The printing technique used for these signs is unique: the design is applied directly onto the surface, producing a lasting finish. They are mostly used as acrylic name signs or logo displays.

Different printing methods can be used to create acrylic signs.

• Standard – printing on the front side. This method is cheaper, but the printing may be prone to scratches.
• Second Surface –printing on the back side, which delivers deeper and shinier colors.

Last but not least, acrylic business signs can be set up in several different ways. They can be hanging, self-supporting, glued, stuck with double-sided tape, applied with suction cups, or applied using Velcro.

How to Choose a Banner

Since OOH advertisement is the only traditional marketing medium which can still drive investments, it’s vital to make the right choice. The criteria aren’t just limited to finance. You have to determine:

• Location: Indoors or Outdoors – This step is crucial as it has a huge effect on your choice of material. For example, fabric banners are better used indoors, while a custom business vinyl banner will effectively promote your product outdoors.
• Exposure to light – Once again, this is about the location. A matte finish is better for sunny places or events with a lot of light, as it prevents light flashing off the sign.
• Design – By design, we essentially mean your banner’s purpose. An acrylic sign board is ideal for logos and other branding purposes, while a canvas can be used to develop a creative solution.
• Size – Fortuna Visual Group offers many sizes. To learn more about the sizes of our vinyl banners, use our free consultation services.
