When I think “banner,” shiny white plastic material usually comes to mind, but there are actually many materials, including fabrics, that we print on that can be used in lieu of traditional vinyl banner material.  When Ambitions Disability Support Services described the type of banner they were looking for, we knew fabric banners would be just right for their upcoming event.

“This is a unique job because we are using canvas instead of banner material or tyvek. The customer wanted a richer feel to the final product,” Signs for Success designer Will Oakley said.

The weight and warmth of the Picasso canvas fabric gives just the richness the customer was looking for.  When finished, it looks more like artwork than a banner.  In most cases, we use vinyl banner material with banner stands, but in reality, there are a variety of materials we can print on for use with banner stands.  Linen, pack cloth and poplin are a few other popular fabrics we print on.

You can use banner material, anti-curl banner, tyvek, or even canvas for banner stands like these, easily change your banner for new event or promotion

The customer also wanted to make sure we could print color to the edge.  We did print to the edge, then finished the edges with banner tape.  Finally, grommets were placed in all four corners of the banner for easy hanging on grasshopper banner stands. One thing we love about banner stands is that you can change out your message for different events easily by switching out the banner.  The stands themselves are durable and will withstand several years of use.  Banner stands are designed to be easily transportable – they’re lightweight, and they fold down neatly for storage or travel.  They expand out when you need to display your banner and are accommodating for a range of banner sizes.

These canvas fabric banners were used at a business conference in Tahoe, and Ambitions will be able to use them at many future conferences and promotional events as well.  For a unique and classy look, try using fabric banners for tradeshows, office banners, restaurant banners, parade banners, and more.  Signs for Success is a locally owned family business in Spokane, and we strive for excellent customer service, perfect color, and quick turnaround on every project.  Our large production facility allows us to design, print and install everything in-house.  Get quality service and a quick turnaround on fabric banners; contact us for a free quote today!

Custom printed fabric banners for school

Large fabric pole banners add a beautiful finishing touch to one building that has been part of extensive renovations at Valley View Middle School in Snohomish, Washington.  The school added to the campus between 2011-2012 with upgrades, expansions, and new signage.  We printed these colorful fabric banners onto pack cloth for a unique twist on traditional vinyl banners.  The double-sided banners were digitally printed one side at a time, then sewn together.

The architect leading the construction project at Valley View submitted the graphics to be printed.  Signs for Success designer Vanessa Bogensberger added bleed to each image to make sure all edges were clean and professional looking.  She also reversed the images to be able to print the opposite side of each banner, taking special care to ensure music symbols were printed correctly and not reversed.  “These banners printed beautifully on the pack cloth,” Vanessa said.  The colors are vibrant and add festivity to the newly renovated building.

Banners can be printed on a variety of substrates and not just traditional vinyl banner material.  Fabrics including pack cloth, canvas and linen also make excellent banner or flag material.

Banners are versatile, and by considering the different materials you can print on, in reality, you can use a custom banner for almost any project.  We have tested a variety of materials to print on, each giving a different vibe.  Your banner can be as fancy or informal as the occasion dictates.

Here are some of our most popular custom banner materials:

  • 13oz vinyl
  • Super Smooth
  • Blockout Vinyl
  • Mesh
  • Canvas and other printed fabrics

Vinyl is the standard banner material, and it makes up about 95% of what we produce.  We print directly to the vinyl with photo quality results.  13oz is the most common weight vinyl material, and it can be used for both indoor and outdoor banners, including street banners, pole banners, sports banners, tradeshow banners and more!

Super Smooth vinyl material has anti-curl edges that do not need to be hemmed.  This material is used in retractable banners because the clean, strong finished edge never curls when the banner is displayed.  Retractable banners expand your tradeshow display, and they are easy to pack and transport.  They also look great in retail stores, doctor’s offices and lobbies.

Blockout vinyl material is a heavy duty 18oz vinyl.  It’s perfect for double sided pole banners and street banners that may take a lot of beating.  Light is blocked so the image on the opposite side does not show through on double sided banners.  Use blockout vinyl for any outdoor banners, and you won’t regret it!

When Contract Design Associates in Spokane needed desk separation without blocking all the light, we used these mesh banners, double sided to create a great backdrop wall

Mesh material can be used outdoors in high wind, allowing wind to pass through without blowing out the banner.  Mesh is also useful when you would like some visibility and/or light to pass through your banner.  We’ve seen mesh material used for custom printed window shades as well as office partitions.  Even if you wouldn’t necessarily call it a “banner,” mesh can bring custom printed graphics into a very modern or professional atmosphere.

Finally, there are a variety of fabrics we can print your custom artwork on.  Canvas is a popular choice because it is thick and durable.  We can also print on linen, poplin, pack cloth, and upholstery vinyl.  One customer chose to print their indoor banner on canvas for the warm, inviting feeling it brought to the cozy coffee shop atmosphere.

If you’re looking for a way to customize your business, office, street or showroom, consider a custom banner.  With all the materials available, we can customize your graphics to fit the space and mood you’re going for.  Signs for Success is a locally owned family business in Spokane, and we strive for excellent customer service, perfect color, and quick turnaround on every project.  Our innovative team can tackle any sign project, and we will offer our expertise in every stage of the process, from design to print to installation.  Get quality service and a quick turnaround on your next banner project; contact us for a free quote today!
