OUTDOOR BANNERS FAQS

FAQ Outdoor Banners

• What materials are outdoor banners made from?
  SIGNWAVE® banners are usually made with a durable nylon-reinforced vinyl. We can also utilize other materials, such as fabric, if desired.
• Can I provide my own logo or graphics?
  Yes. Your logo or other graphics may be used on your banner, and our consultants can work with you on a design that will maximize the visibility of your logo and message in one or multiple colors. Click here to browse our gallery of banners and flags.
• How durable are they?
  The nylon-reinforced vinyl SIGNWAVE uses is very durable and should last a long time when properly installed. The location you choose for your banner will help determine the best banner solution for you, as the printing options may vary in durability, especially when exposed to full sun. Consult with your SIGNWAVE Centre to determine the best material solution for the purpose and location you have in mind.
• Do the banners come with grommets?
  Eyelets or other finishing options such as hemmed edges, pole pockets or Kedar edging can be added to banners. Although eyelets are the most commonly used finishing option, depending on the use of your banner, another option may better serve your needs. Consult with your SIGNWAVE Center to determine the best finishing option for the purpose and location you have in mind.
• Can SIGNWAVE® install my outdoor banners?
  Yes, we can install your banner. Generally speaking, our SIGNWAVE Centers will either install or help you manage the installation of any sign we provide.
• Am I limited on the number of colors I can have on my signage?
  The options available for banners are almost limitless regarding color. From full colour to simple lettering in one or more colours, banners can be an accent or the centerpiece for communicating your message. Consult with your SIGNWAVE Center to determine the best banner solution for your needs that fits your purpose and budget.
• Can SIGNWAVE create a special size banner?
  SIGNWAVE banners can be produced in virtually any shape or size. Our specialists can help tailor your banner to fit your space and location, whether it’s on a fence by the roadside or stretching out over a crowd at a convention. Visit our gallery of banners and flags for ideas.
• How do I care for my new banner?
  If you should choose to store your banner, do not fold it; instead, roll it with the graphics on the outside for the best care. SIGNWAVE provides more detailed instructions for banner care, including installation and maintenance, here, with the same instructions in a downloadable form.
• How long do outdoor banners typically last?
  The longevity of an outdoor banner varies widely. After the vinyl and printing choice, the life of your banner depends on appropriate installation and on environmental conditions like sun and wind which usually range from extreme to moderate. Banners are most commonly intended for short-term applications. Your SIGNWAVE consultant will be able to provide you with the best options to fit your budget and communications needs. Keep in mind that while a banner is an excellent and time-tested promotional sign, it is not a substitute for a permanent sign.
