Are your custom banners resistant to harsh weather conditions? Are they fire and water-resistant?

Yes, they are, similar to step and repeat banners! Each material is durable and perfect for indoor and outdoor use. Vinyl and mesh are especially suited for outdoor use. 

Vinyl is a robust option, lasting 5+ years indoors and 3+ years outdoors.

Mesh provides excellent durability in windy weather thanks to the tiny holes on its surface. It typically lasts more than 10 years indoors and around 3 years outdoors. 

Fabric is made of 100% polyester and is recommended for indoor use as it’s more susceptible to damage due to severe outdoor conditions. Products made of fabric easily last more than 10 years indoors.

Do you sell accessories for custom banners?

Yes, we do! You’ll find all the accessories for your banner product in our design tool options.

    How to Properly Dispose of Your Custom Banner?

    Many recycling centers accept your banners once they’re no longer of use to you. You can also ensure safe disposal for your used products, similar to tabletop retractable banners and rectangle flag banners, by donating them to schools or institutions that may need them.

    How to Properly Take Care of Custom Banners?

    Any product can serve for a long time when properly cared for, and banners are no exception. Clean them regularly with mild soap and a soft cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals when cleaning. Bring them inside during extreme weather conditions to provide protection even if you have outdoor banners.
    Proper storage is also important. Instead of folding, roll it up with the graphics facing inwards to protect the printing against scratches. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage and fading colors.

    What Other Types of Custom Banners Are There?

    Besides hanging products, you can also encounter banners with stands, such as pop up displays, retractable banners, tension fabric displays, and more. Perfect for promotions, marketing, and other business and personal purposes, these products become showstoppers wherever they are used.
