Street banners should be made of 20-ounce, extra heavy duty, block-out vinyl banner material with super tough webbing sewn into the hem for extra reinforcement.

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 banners (or light pole banners) are usually finished with top and bottom sleeves with a grommet just below the top sleeve and just above the bottom sleeve. |

All vinyl 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. Vinyl banners hung out in the open can be subject to significant wind loads. Be sure you secure your vinyl banner well using the instructions included with your order. |

Standard vinyl banner material is “translucent." In other words, it's see-through. If you print on both sides of this standard vinyl, a faint "ghost" image is visible on the other side.
