The Banner Blog

The debate between vinyl vs. fabric may continue, although we feel it is certainly over.

Fabric is a winning substrate for most of your large format marketing needs. Here are some quick examples on why fabric is better:

• Save shipping costs when compared to vinyl banners
• Banners have a soft hand / that is, they feel good
• They move, attracting the customers’ attention
• Washable in most applications
• Can be ironed with warm iron in most applications
• Sides don’t curl
• Can be folded and put in a suitcase and still look good
• Longer life than vinyl banner in terms of attractiveness
• Many more options from sheers to shiny to flag fabrics to oxford cloths and everything in between
• Many more finishing options
• Great colors on fabric
• Breakdown in landfills MUCH faster than PVC’s
• Inks used to print on them are environmentally friendly compared with solvent inks
• Sheer beauty of fabric banners / they look classy and elegant without spending big bucks

With so many benefits over vinyl it’s no wonder fabric will continue to dominate as the leading material to convey our customer’s message.
