Vinyl Mesh Banners for Wind-Resistant Advertising Part 1

Mesh vinyl banner

Mesh banners have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their unique features and practicality.

What are Mesh Banners?

Made from a durable, sturdy material, these banners are designed with perforated vinyl that allows wind to flow through the banners, making them a good choice for some outdoor advertising venues such as sporting events crowd control, and low to medium wind areas. Whether you’re looking to attract attention to your business or promote an upcoming event, mesh banners can be the best choice for your outdoor marketing campaign.

Where Should Vinyl Mesh Banners Be Used?

These banners are commonly used for large-scale events such as concerts, festivals, and sports games. They can also be used for business promotions, trade shows, and other outdoor marketing campaigns. They are also easy to install, and can be customized with vibrant colors and graphics to keep your brand at the forefront of any event you are able to advertise in.

What is the Difference Between Wind Slits and Mesh Banners?

Wind slits and mesh banners are two different options for outdoor banners that are designed to withstand windy conditions.

Mesh bannerWind Slits: They are small V-shaped cuts made into the banner material to allow wind to pass through the banner, reducing the wind load and making it less susceptible to damage from high winds. However, wind slits can weaken the banner and make it more prone to tearing or damage.

Mesh Banners: They are manufactured with a PVC (vinyl) banner material that features tiny holes throughout the surface. The holes allow wind to pass through the banner, making it less likely to act like a sail in windy conditions and reducing the wind load. Mesh banners are a more durable and long-lasting option than traditional vinyl banners with wind slits, as they are specifically designed for outdoor use and can withstand light to moderate windy weather conditions without tearing.

Can You Put Wind Slits in a Mesh Banner?

It is not recommended to put wind slits in a mesh banner because the holes in the mesh already allow wind to pass through the banner, making it wind-resistant. Adding wind slits to a mesh banner could weaken the material and potentially cause it to tear or fray. Mesh banners are designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions without the need for wind slits, making them a durable and reliable option for outdoor advertising. If you are concerned about wind resistance for your mesh banner, you can choose a heavier weight mesh material or add additional reinforcement such as grommets or hemming to a standard heavy-weight vinyl banner for added durability.

What is the Standard Size of a Mesh Banner?

Mesh vinyl bannerThere really is no standard size of a mesh banner. Sizing depends on the particular application and can range from medium to large. While not used for billboards or building wraps, as wall-installed banners are generally impervious to most wind (all bets are off in a hurricane or tornado), some common sizes for mesh banners used in outdoor advertising include 3’x20’, 4’x10′, 4’x20’, 6’x24′, 8’x40′, 10’x20′, and 20’x40′ etc.

When choosing the size of your banner, it’s important to consider the viewing distance and the location of the banner to ensure that it is visible from a distance and the message can be easily read. In other words, any size is available – request a desired size and we’ll print them for you.

Can You See Through a Mesh Banner?

Not much. While these banners are made with perforated vinyl fabric, and the material does allow air to flow through and reduce wind resistance, the actual wind slippage is only about 4 to 8 percent, which is also about as much as you can see through a vinyl mesh banner, as these holes also allow minimal light to filter through the banner, making it possible to vaguely see what is behind it.

What is the Difference Between Vinyl Banners and Vinyl Mesh Banners?

Mesh vinyl bannerVinyl banners and vinyl mesh banners are both popular choices for outdoor advertising, but there are some key differences between the two. Vinyl banners are made from a solid vinyl material that is durable and weather-resistant. They are ideal for printing high-quality graphics and text and can be used for a variety of outdoor advertising applications, particularly suited to the side of buildings, billboards, and wind-protected areas.

Mesh banners, on the other hand, are made from a perforated mesh material that allows 4 to 8% of the ambient wind to pass through, reducing wind resistance and making them ideal for use in low to medium windy areas. The perforated mesh material used in mesh banners can result in a slightly lower print quality than vinyl banners, but the difference is often negligible.

Instructions on Mesh Banner Care

Taking care of your mesh banner is important to ensure its longevity and effectiveness. Here are some tips on how to take care of your mesh banner:

  1. Store Properly: When not in use, store your banner properly in a dry, cool place. Avoid folding or creasing the banner, as this can damage the material. Instead, roll it up and store it in a tube or container that will protect it from mildew, oils and dust.
  2. Inspect Regularly: Regularly inspect your banner for any signs of wear and tear, such as fraying edges or ripped areas. Repair any damage or replace the banner as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

Is Mesh Vinyl Banner Material Waterproof?

These banners are designed to be weather-resistant and waterproof. Water may stay in the perforations until it evaporates, so make sure if you’re storing vinyl mesh banners that they are completely dry, so as to avoid mildew.

How Long Do Mesh Banners Last

On average, a well-maintained mesh banner can last anywhere from three to five years. However, some high-quality mesh banners can last up to seven years or more. However, do note that there are no weather warrantees on any vinyl banner due to the variables in wind and weather conditions.

Conclusion

Mesh banners are a popular, durable, and cost-effective way to advertise or promote a business, event or product. They are made from a perforated mesh material that allows air to pass through, making them ideal for outdoor use in windy areas.
