#1 Graphic Design and Installation in Dallas-Fort Worth
The most-ordered product in our banners and flags range, and the one that does more work per dollar than anything else we make.
Fix at all four corners plus mid-span points along the top and bottom edge, using screws with washers to spread the load. Do not hang from two top corners only. The wind gets behind the banner, the load concentrates entirely on those two points, and the hem tears out in the first serious gust.
Zip ties through every grommet, not wire. Wire cuts into the hem under movement and you will lose the banner along the top edge.
Pole pockets and a rigid dowel are better than grommets and rope, because rope lets the banner twist and a twisted banner takes wind loads it was never designed for.
Hiring banners. For restaurants, trades and retail, a “Now Hiring” banner on the building face is consistently the highest-response sign we print. In a tight labour market, the people who see it are already in the area and already thinking about work.
Grand openings and coming soon. On construction fencing during fit-out, which generates awareness weeks before the doors open.
Seasonal promotions. Retail sales, service specials, seasonal menus.
Church and community events. Vacation Bible school, festivals, fundraisers, holiday services.
Real estate and development. Site boards, lot availability, phase announcements.
Sports and school events. Homecoming, playoffs, senior recognition, though for anything on a fence see mesh.
Roll it, print side out, around a tube. Do not fold it.
A folded banner develops permanent crease lines that show up clearly when it goes back up, and on heavily inked areas the ink can crack along the fold. Store somewhere dry and out of direct sunlight. A banner used for one weekend a year and stored properly will outlast one left up permanently by a factor of several.
13oz scrim vinyl is the correct weight for almost all outdoor banners. It resists tearing at the grommets and folds without cracking. iCandy Grafix uses 18oz blockout vinyl only for double-sided banners, where an opaque core is needed to stop the reverse print showing through.
A laminated 13oz vinyl banner from iCandy Grafix holds up for 2 to 3 years in North Texas sun. Unlaminated banners begin fading noticeably from around eight months, with reds and blues going first. Banners stored indoors between uses last considerably longer.
Fix at all four corners plus mid-span points along the top and bottom edges, using screws with washers to spread the load across the hem. Hanging from two top corners only concentrates wind load on those points and is the most common cause of banners tearing out.
Yes. Roll them print side out around a tube rather than folding, and store them somewhere dry and out of direct sun. Folded banners develop permanent creases and the ink can crack along the fold line.
Up to 10 feet wide in a single continuous piece, with larger banners produced as seamlessly welded panels at any length. iCandy Grafix has produced building-scale banners this way, and the welds are not visible from normal viewing distance.
