What Are Mesh Banners?
Mesh banners are similar to vinyl banners, but they use a mesh pattern that allows wind to pass through. They are typically hung on chain-linked fences but can be displayed in a number of different settings. They can be hung using grommets or pole pockets. Mesh banners are commonly used to advertise for businesses at a wide variety of events and sporting venues.
The ratio of vinyl to holes for our mesh banners is 70/30. This means that 70% of the banner is comprised of vinyl while 30% is comprised of holes. This means your banner will have a slightly more transparent or “muted” appearance than something like our vinyl banners which are 100% vinyl and thus result in a more vibrant end result. This difference in vibrancy between solid vinyl and mesh is common across all printers.

Finishing Options
Reinforced Edges
Reinforced edges is the strongest option. With reinforced edges, a durable webbing is sewn within the 1.5" hem on all four sides of your mesh banner. This provides maximum strength and resistance against tearing.
Sewn Hem
The borders of your banner will be heat welded together, creating an incredibly strong border around your sign and a high-quality finished edge. If pole pockets are selected a welded hem is not included.
Flush Cut
Another option for the mesh banners is what is known as flush cut. Flush cut is the opposite of welded hem and is when the banner is cut to the same size as the design. Like welded hem, this is free of charge and can be changed as needed on our design tool during the design process.
Grommets
Grommets are 3/8" metal rings inserted into the material of your fence banner that allow you to use ropes, clips, zip ties, or other materials to attach your banner to a fence. You can choose to either have grommets placed every 24" along the edges of your banner or have them placed only at the four corners. Grommets are brass in color.
Pole Pockets
Pole pockets are 3" pockets that are sewn at the bottom and/or top of your mesh banner, allowing it to be installed between posts or hung with rope. Please keep in mind that if you choose to have your banner made with pole pockets it cannot contain grommets nor a welded hem. You will need to select one or the other.

What is the difference between your mesh, vinyl, and fabric banners?
Our mesh, vinyl, and fabric banners are all excellent choices for your signage needs. But there are a couple of primary differences between these three types of banners.
Vinyl banners are the most popular banner that we offer and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The 13 oz vinyl that is used allows for an extremely durable banner that is tear and weather resistant. This is the same material that is used for billboards! The thickness of the vinyl does mean that larger banners will weigh more than mesh or fabric banners of the same size. Designs are printed on our vinyl banners using a 4-color, UV resistant ink, resulting in a vibrant and permanent design. These will work for both temporary needs and permanent needs with the lifespan varying depending on the end use.
Fabric banners are only suitable for indoor use but provide a high quality visible display regardless of this limitation. Fabric banners are made from a 100% 6.8 oz polyester, with your design printed using a dye sublimation process. Fabric banners are lightweight, easily hung and machine washable. These banners are durable in their own right but are not suited for any outdoor use. Typically they are used for presentations and other indoor events.
Mesh banners provide an alternative to our popular vinyl banners as a indoor/outdoor signage solution. Like vinyl banners these can work both for a temporary need and longer lasting permanent need depending on how the banner is treated and the actual end use. The biggest difference between mesh and vinyl banners is that the mesh is a 70:30 ratio of mesh and permeability. This mesh material allows for wind to more easily pass through the banner when used outside. In our experience our solid vinyl banners and the reinforced hem are perfectly suitable for outdoors. If you’re concerned about windy conditions then the mesh banner would be our recommendation before trying to do wind slits in a normal vinyl banner. Further, some cities and other organizations require a mesh material to increase lifespan of city or park banners. For both vinyl and mesh banners we recommend taking the banner down in extremely windy conditions.
