To start with, research the different custom banners available: vinyl, fabric, and even pop-up banners. Vinyl banners are made from a heavy-duty vinyl that is more ideally suited for outdoor usage and temporary events. Fabric or nylon banners have a dressier look, which makes them suitable for indoor use, and they are often used for long periods of time. SIGNARAMA routinely installs fabric custom banners in schools, churches, office buildings and museums.

Pop-up banners often use a Flex Face material, which is more like a vinyl/plastic material, and is more durable than fabric. They are ideal for light boxes, trade show displays and even awnings. SIGNARAMA also makes pop-up banners with nylon fabric.

Obviously, your setting is going to be the first factor in choosing your custom banners. If you are creating something for outdoor use, it is best to use vinyl banners. Vinyl banners can stand up to all kinds of weather; they get dirty, but they are easy to clean, and can handle hard weather.

For an indoor event, vinyl looks nice, but fabric can create a more polished look, especially if hung in an upscale location or event. The color of your custom banners should be considered as well. Most banners are printed on digital printers, so photos and images can be printed right on them. This allows SIGNARAMA clients a lot of flexibility in how their banners look, and eliminates the worry of paying for additional colors. While cut vinyl banners are still available, most clients count digital banners as much more effective and eye-catching.
