What Are Fabric Banners?
Make a strong impression at your next show or event with custom fabric banners. These banners are crafted from lightweight knitted polyester and offer a more premium style of banner compared to vinyl materials. Fabric banners are printed using dye sublimation and are machine washable and scratch-resistant, allowing for an extended product life and multiple uses. The knitted polyester fabric offers minimal light reflection, making it perfect for indoor and outdoor applications ranging from photoshoots to trade show displays. When you’re finished using your banner, simply fold it and store it away. Places you will see printed fabric banners displayed include:
- Trade shows and expos
- Retail stores and spaces
- Churches and places of worship
- Offices and workplaces
- Festivals and fairs
- Schools and colleges
We offer three design methods for you to customize and print your fabric banners. All design submissions are checked by our pre-press team for any errors, and we will send you a free proof of your final design for your approval before we produce your order.
Design Online: Create your banner design online, in real time using our online design tool. Upload logos, artwork, or images directly from your computer and choose from font options shapes, backgrounds, clip art, and more.
Upload Artwork Template: This method is best for users with graphic design experience. We provide downloadable templates so that you can add your artwork to the template using your own computer and software. When you’re finished, simply reupload the saved template file to our website before or after placing your order.
Free Design Services: Not sure how to design your banner? Our graphics team can help you build a design from scratch, for free! Choose this option and send our team your design files, or artwork ideas. We will correspond with you until the design is completed to your satisfaction.
Consider how you want to set up and display your banners. Some customers showcase their fabric banners with hardware while others hang them with bungee cords from a ceiling or wall. Read below to find which finishing options work best for your display application.
If you would like to use bungee cords or rope to hang your custom fabric banner from the wall or ceiling, add grommets to each of the four corners or around the perimeter of the banner. If the sign is long, we suggest grommeting the entire perimeter of the banner. The bungee cords or rope is inserted into the grommets of the banner, protecting the sides from tearing or fraying while on display.
If you are displaying from a ceiling or using a banner stand that includes pole sets, we recommend adding pole pockets to your cloth banner. If your stand includes one pole set, apply one pocket on the top of the banner. If your hardware includes two sets, apply pole pockets on the top and the bottom of the banner. Poles easily slide through the pockets of the fabric banner without any hassle.
You can either add hemmed sides to one of the previous finishing options or, if you are not using hardware to set up your banner, you can choose hemmed sides by themselves. Hemming the sides prevents them from tearing or fraying. Hemmed sides are commonly used for applications where the banner is hanging or displayed up against a wall.
For a simple finishing, you can have all the sides cut or have the sides cut with pole pockets installed on the top or bottom. Getting the sides cut without hems creates thin edges that are perfect for use in a frame or on a canvas. Cut sides are typically used for indoor display.
We offer three different material options to choose from. Read the descriptions below to find the best material option for your cloth banner.
If you are displaying outdoor fabric signs for an extended period of time, we recommend choosing our outdoor flag polyester. This is the same tear-resistant, lightweight material that we use for our custom flags. It is strong enough to handle most weather conditions without any issues. This material also features excellent thru-print for single-reverse printing.
This higher-quality material option is perfect for long-term indoor and light outdoor setups. This material is mostly opaque, showcasing the custom design or logo in more vibrant, richer colors compared to the outdoor flag polyester. This material option has a glossy exterior and is flame-resistant to accommodate standard trade show regulations.
This premium material option is a heavy-weight knitted polyester and showcases colors and graphics with the most vibrancy. It is 100% opaque and is finished with a black backing. This style of fabric banner is usually featured for eye-catching indoor displays alongside walls or hanging from ceilings. This premium polyester material is wrinkle-resistant and flame-retardant.
Our fabric banners are available in either single-reverse (mirror-image on back) or double-sided printing. Please read below to find out more about these options.
With single-reverse printing, we print your custom banner design on one side of the banner material. The mirror image of the print bleeds through to the other side of the banner. This allows passerby to see your personalized design from both angles of the fabric sign with the reverse side looking slightly less vibrant compared to the front. This is an affordable printing technique that is popular among designs that do not include a lot of text, such as large graphics and shapes.
The upgraded double-sided option offers unique designs on each side of the banner. We print your image on two separate layers of material and sew them together. To avoid one side being visible from the other, an inner liner is sewn between the two layers. This also prevents light from shining through. This way, the design is showcased in brilliant, full color on both sides of the cloth banner. Keep in mind that since this banner option will include two layers rather than one, it will be slightly heavier compared to a single-reverse fabric banner.
Fabric Banners Make for Better Photos
If you are hosting an event where a lot of photos will be taken for social media or a company website, fabric signs are your best option. The knitted polyester fibers are not nearly as reflective as vinyl, allowing the vibrant colors and graphics to be easily seen in photos without glare or distortion. This is especially helpful if you are using flash photography or are displaying these banners outdoors. The non-reflective graphics make for perfect photo backgrounds, such as step and repeat banners.
One of the most appealing benefits of using fabric banners is that they are easy to clean. The polyester banners are machine washable, but specific cleaning instructions should be followed. Follow these simple guidelines when washing and caring for your banner:
- Washing machines should be on the cold water setting
- Use a mild, color-safe detergent and color-catcher (do not use bleach)
- Allow the banner to hang dry or place it back on your banner stand to prevent it from shrinking slightly
- Do not fold the banner when it is wet
Taking these precautions will keep your print in great condition for repeated use. Contact customer service for any further questions about cleaning and caring for your banner.
