Calculating the Size of your Vinyl or Fabric Banner
Length x Width = Number of Square Inches. For example, if you have a decal that is 3” x 5” simply multiply 3 x 5 = 15 square inches.
Vinyl Banners
The nylon threading that the fiber is wrapped around may vary in size and closeness together, the flexibility of the material (additional plasticizers are added to make the material more supple in some cases) – these things can vary, but PVC is polyvinyl chloride, and it doesn’t change it’s chemical composition. The more “plasticizers” that are used in the manufacturing process of a vinyl banner, the softer and more supple it will be.
Banner weights vary and are based on ounces per square foot or on grams per square meter, depending on where you are or where the material is manufactured. Light-weight PVC banner material may way as little as eight ounces per square foot and can go very heavy, although rarely beyond 21 ounces per square foot. The ounces refers to the weight of the banner per square yard of material. The heavier the weight, the more durable, although installation methods are often of utmost importance in the life of any outdoor vinyl banner.
Most are also available with a blockout layer between the sides that allows us to print both sides of the material without having a shadow show through the back side.
Dye Sublimation Banner Printing
The dye sublimation printing process uses heat and pressure to transfer the CMYO print from the transfer paper to the synthetic fabric itself. Sublimation simply means that the dyes convert from a solid state to a gaseous state, although never becoming liquid. The process was developed to be able to transfer photographs and highly intricate designs onto fabric or cloth.
Traditional dye sub printing utilizes a heated pressure roller at around 375F, “marries” the paper to the polyester fabric. As the fabric and transfer paper go through this heat and pressure combination, the dye printed on the paper is converted from a solid to a gas instantaneously, and is fused to the fabric in a continuous tone print, similar to a photograph.
Banner Care
Washing
Fabric can be washed without damaging the quality of the printing. The overprint in the CMYO dye sublimation printing dyes is both a UV protectant and helps to create a water-resistant coating for polyester banners.
If you can’t fit the banner or banners in your washer, then you’ll need to manually wash them, whether when you’re hanging them or washing them in a large tub or barrel. No matter which route you take, make sure your detergent is tough against grease.
Once you’ve washed your dye sub cloth banners, the best practice is to hang them up to dry. If you don’t have this option, and they’ll fit in a dryer, go ahead and dry them that way. Make sure you don’t leave them in the dryer once it stops, as it’ll create wrinkly banners, and it’s not a lot of fun ironing them out.
Storing
Vinyl banners are made using a loosely woven nylon fabric, which is encased in hot PVC vinyl. Once it cools, it is trimmed and rolled onto larger rolls, typically 50 yard or meter rolls, and shipped to distributors world wide. You’ll note that the vinyl banner material is not folded, but rolled, because vinyl banner material was not made to be folded.
We always advise our clients to never fold their vinyl banners, because they will wrinkle, and the wrinkles may or may not be removable. Always roll your banners, and preferably on a hard cardboard or plastic tube core so that it won’t be crushed or folded.
Durability and Environmental Factors
The sun should not be a major concern unless you plan to hang your banner out of doors for multiple years, which is not the norm with most banners anyway. There is not much you can do to protect a banner from the sun, but a good quality ink should keep them lasting as long as you’ll need them to advertise your company or event.
Most digitally printed banners, though, should, if properly installed, last at least 3 years outdoors.
Wind is the biggest enemy of banner longevity. I’ve seen wind destroy a poorly installed banner in a period of a couple days, but I’ve also seen a well-installed vinyl banner last over 10 years.
Rain does cause an eventual dulling of the matte white vinyl materials, though, as there is some amount of pollution in the rain as it falls. And, over time, all banners will deteriorate, but, for the most part, as banners are considered a temporary advertising sign, most, unless poorly installed in a windy area, will both thrive and survive for however long you need them to be up – within reason, anyway.
