| What Are Different Ways To Finish Banners Once They Are Printed? |
|
Banners
can be used indoors or out. How the banners will be used, (displayed), normally
prescribes how the banner is finished. When displaying banners outside always
think safety first. Be sure the supporting structure is sound, banners hung
out in the open can be subject to significant wind loads. Be sure you have
enough tie points and strong enough banner construction.
Style
A, Hem
side edges with grommets top and bottom as needed, (number of grommets depends
on banner size). Gold grommets are used.Most common finishing, useful for a variety of applications. Best for mounting
against a wall or fence.
Style B,
Hem edges with grommets top and bottom as needed, with rope seamed into the
top and bottom hems, rope ends extend out from the banner edge making ties,
length can be specified. This adds versatility and strength to the basic grommet style, allowing
the banner to be tied between poles or other secure fixtures.
Style C,
Hem edges with rope seamed into the top and bottom hems. Rope extends from
banner making ties, length can be specified. For banners tied between secure fixtures, this is a strong construction,
it spreads wind forces over the length of the banner.
Style D,
Hem sides with webbing seamed into top and bottom, webbing extends as needed for ties. This is an even stronger construction for banners that may be subjected to higher wind.
Style E,
Hems sides, webbing top and bottom with grommets spaced as needed (depends
on banner size). Adding grommets offers more tie down points, this is especially helpful
to support larger banners to eliminate sagging, if the supporting structure
will allow for it
Styles F,
To support banners on hardware, sleeves can be sewn into the top and bottom,
The sleeve can be sized to fit the hardware, The circumference (dia. X 3.14)
of the supporting pole, divided by 2 plus an inch will
calculate a good sleeve size.
Style G,
Grommets can be added to the top and bottom in an extra extension above
and below the sleeves for more versatility in display options. 
Style H,
Street, or light pole banners are usually finished with sleeves top and
bottom with a grommet just below the top sleeve and just above the bottom
sleeve. In this case two banners are sewn back to back for extra heavy duty.
Style I,
For a very strong construction which will be attached using ties you supply,
seamed in webbing with "D" rings offers a very reliable solution.
For large banners, needing more tie points, grommets can be added to the top and
bottom, or even sides.
