What Are Mesh Banners?
Designed to endure strong winds, mesh banners are created with a net-like pattern that allows wind and gale to breeze through without damaging the material. They are typically hung on chain-linked fences to display ads and event details, but they can also be used for a variety of purposes and in different settings. Setting up is easy too! Our mesh banners can be customized with grommets or pole pockets to suit your location needs.
Our mesh banners have a vinyl to holes ratio of 70:30, which means 70% of the material is printable vinyl while 30% is comprised of holes. You may expect some transparency or what might look like a "muted appearance" from mesh banners compared with standard vinyl ones which are more vibrant. This is a common occurrence across all printing services and printing companies, but you can trust that we will only deliver high quality signs every single time.

What is the difference between your vinyl, fabric, and mesh banners?
Our mesh, vinyl, and fabric banners are all excellent choices for your signage needs. Before you choose a material for your next banner, here are their key qualities to help you decide:
Vinyl banners are the most popular banner that we offer, and they are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. We use the 13 oz. vinyl which is known for its extreme durability and weather-resistance. In fact, it is the same material used for billboards. Designs are printed on our vinyl banners using a 4-color, UV-resistant ink, resulting in a vibrant and permanent design. It is also possible to order vinyl banners for temporary use or long-term needs. With proper care and storage, vinyl banners may last several years. It's important to note that the thickness of the vinyl material also determines the weight, which means vinyl banners are heavier than their fabric counterparts.
Fabric banners are mostly recommended for indoor use. Despite this limitation, you can achieve high quality and vivid display with this material through our dye sublimation process. The fabric banners we offer are 100% 6.8 oz. polyester, lightweight, machine-washable, and can be hung to dry easily. While this material is durable, it's not ideal for outdoor use.
Mesh banners are a popular alternative to vinyl banners, and they can be used for both indoor and outdoor signages. Unlike vinyl, however, mesh banners have a 70:30 ratio of mesh and permeability. This means that 70% of the material is vinyl surface that's printable, while the other 30% is comprised of the holes that allow air to pass through the banner. This makes them perfect for outdoor display especially in windy locations. In our expert opinion, our solid vinyl banners last longer when reinforced in the hem. You may also want to consider your organization's or city's banner requirement as mesh material is often recommended for us in cities or parks because of their durability and wind-resistance. That being said, we strongly suggest that vinyl and mesh banners are taken down during extremely windy weather conditions.
How much light will the banner let through? Is the printed portion visible?
It’s difficult to quantify how much light will shine through a custom mesh banner, although we can guarantee that a solid vinyl banner plays way better with light. The mesh banner has a 70:30 mesh to solid woven design and while wind and light pass through the net-like structure, the printed design will still be visible. If you compare the mesh banner with the solid vinyl one, the latter will have a more vivid design and will have better visibility when viewed from a distance. Whether you choose mesh or solid vinyl, you can trust that you’ll still end up with excellent quality banners.
What are the benefits of choosing a mesh banner over a vinyl or fabric banner?
When it comes to banner materials, mesh is the sweet spot between solid vinyl and fabric. If you’re looking for something durable and weather-resistant and light enough to install and move around, mesh banners are your best choice for outdoor display. A solid vinyl banner does not have the lightness of mesh, while fabric banners are not ideal for outdoor use.
How thick are your mesh banners? Do you offer other thickness options?
We use 8 oz. vinyl material for our mesh banners. We are not offering any thickness varieties at the moment.
Do you print double-sided mesh banners?
We currently do not offer a double-sided mesh banner option.
What are the minimum and maximum dimensions of your banners?
For our standard mesh banners without pole pockets, we offer sizes anywhere between 1’ x 1’ and 10’ x 145’. If you need a much larger mesh banner, it’s very likely we can do it! For mesh banners with pole pockets, we offer any size in between 1’ x 1’ and 9.5’ x 145’.
Will my large mesh banner have seams?
Larger banners over 10’ x 145’ will be constructed from multiple pieces of banner material welded together. This produces seams but will not affect your design.
Do your mesh banners have a matte or gloss finish?
The material of the mesh banner will have a natural matte finish. When your design is printed on the banner, it will have a matte appearance.
Can I change the number or spacing of the grommets?
We currently offer grommets spaced at about every 2' placed on the four corners of the banner.
Can I order a mesh banner with pre-attached rope to secure it to posts?
You can add a set of four pieces of nylon rope in the design tool. Each rope is 10-feet long and they are not pre-attached to the banner. If you prefer a different hanging solution, you can also choose from our options including bungees, hanging clips, or zip ties.
What kind of printing process do you use for your mesh banners?
Your design will be digitally printed directly onto your mesh banner using UV ink. This will give your design permanent adherence to the banner material. It is also scratch-resistant and will not fade easily given proper care.
Are the edges of your mesh banners hemmed?
All our mesh banners come with hemmed edges at no additional cost. This feature adds extra durability to your banner. You do not have to do anything else to your order to get hemmed edges.
Do hemmed edges or pole pockets affect the printed area of the banner?
Whether you have a pole pocket or hemmed edges included on your banner, your design will still be printed on the maximum area of the banner.
Are your mesh banners hand woven?
Our mesh banners are not handwoven. They are machine fabricated to ensure that they are of the highest quality and durability.
Can I cut my banner to shape, say, a star banner?
We are not able to cut your banner into shape at this time. If you’re looking for a sign that can be cut to shape, we recommend using an aluminum or rigid plastic sign.
Are your mesh banners fire-resistant?
The vinyl mesh is heat-resistant for up to 180°F but they aren’t fire-resistant. We do not recommend hanging your banner near an open flame.
Do you sell banners with pole pockets? What should I know about pole pockets and the ordering process?
Yes, we offer pole pockets as an option to go with our mesh banners. To order a mesh banner with pole pockets, simply select ‘Pole Pockets’ under the options tab in our design tool and you will be ready to go. The pole pockets are 3” diameter pole pockets. We currently offer 3” pole pockets on the top and bottom of your vertical or horizontal banners.
Are your mesh banners made of plastic or vinyl? What's the difference?
Our mesh banners are made from an 8 oz. vinyl material, which is derived from a man-made plastic substance. Vinyl is composed of flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) which is durable and long-lasting. Since the banner is made of vinyl, it is therefore made of plastic as well.
Can I make a vertical banner instead of horizontal?
Yes, you can make your banner vertical or horizontal. If you want a vertical banner, make sure that your design is suitable for the dimensions of a vertical banner.
Do you personalize birthday party banners that include a picture or photo?

Usage
What are typical uses for your mesh banners?
Mesh banners are typically used to displaying promotional or advertising signs, and they can be used both in outdoor and indoor settings. Its typical uses include storefront displays, birthday parties, advertising sales or offers, school events, sporting events, grand openings, street signage, small business signage, local fairs, and or charitable events. Perhaps one of the most common uses of mesh banners is for chain link fences at sports complexes, schools, and parks.
Mesh banners are great for advertising sponsors in sports complexes because they allow high visibility when placed in the field. These signs may also be used in construction sites to caution people and dispense safety warnings. A layer of mesh banner can conceal a portion of an area you want to hide while doubling as a promotional sign, like when they are tied to fences. There is practically no limit to the use of mesh banners.
Are your mesh banners weather resistant?
Mesh banners are designed to be both UV and water-resistant. A banner that’s made of vinyl will hold up in rain, sunshine, or windy conditions. Keep in mind that frequent exposure to the elements over a long period of time may result in your banner losing a degree of durability and shorten the lifespan of the banner. We also recommend, despite the mesh material, that the banner be removed and stored if extreme weather of any type is imminent.
Will my banner tear in the wind if it is oversized?
Mesh banners are designed with a net-like pattern to make it resistant to the wind. When installed correctly and secure properly, strong winds should not cause even a large banner to tear at anchor points or throughout the mesh pattern. However, we strongly recommend that banners be taken down during extremely windy weather.
Will the design on my banner fade over time?
The UV-resistant ink used to print your design will provide a lasting banner for many years to come. Direct exposure to sunlight could cause the quality of your banner to diminish faster than if the banner is placed out of direct light or if stored properly when not in use.
Will my banner printing scratch or rub off?
The UV ink that is used to print your design is durable and long-lasting. It will make your banner resistant to scratches and keep the ink from rubbing off.
Can my mesh banner come with a banner stand? Can I make it a retractable or a pop-up banner?
We do not offer any stand options for our mesh banners. If you’re looking for a banner that has stand options, we sell feather banners, teardrop banners and X-Stand banners which can be attached to different optional stands. As for a retractable or pop-up banner, we do not currently offer the option to make mesh banners compatible with our retractable banner. Our retractable banners are made from 9 oz. fabric or 13 oz. vinyl.
Installation & Care
How do I hang my banner?
We offer a variety of ways in which you can hang your banner. You can suspend your banner using rope, string, zip ties or bungees. All our mesh banners come standard with grommets which allow for easy hanging with different materials.
Our mesh banners also have the “pole pocket” option which is a means to secure the banner to a pole. This option can be found on our design tool in the options area. These pole pockets are 3” in diameter and are placed on the top and bottom of your custom mesh banner.
How do I store my banner?
When not displaying your banner, we recommend rolling your banner up and storing it in a place where it won’t be damaged or stepped on. It should also be placed in a dry location at room temperature.
My banner is wrinkled - how do I remove the wrinkles?
If your banner is wrinkled or creased, we suggest using a handheld steamer to remove any creases. Placing the banner in sunlight while being pulled taut can also help remove wrinkles. Do not use an iron, this will permanently damage your banner.
How do I wash my banner?
You can clean or wash your banner using a wet cloth. This will remove most surface dirt that could accumulate on the surface of the banner.
Can I use a washing machine to clean my banner? What about a tumble dryer to dry it?
The material of the banner is not machine washable. A washing machine could damage the threading of the mesh throughout the banner. We also do not recommend using a tumble dryer to dry your banner as this may also result in permanent damage to your material.
Can I recycle my mesh banner after I use it?
Vinyl is a recyclable material that many online printing companies use to repurpose the material as other products. Old banners can also be given to organizations that are looking for a similar display or promotional banner to use. Many cities allow for these banners to be simply discarded in a recycling bin.
