FAQ's
What is a PVC banner?
A PVC banner is a display product made from vinyl material, designed to advertise business services or events. Its durability and resistance to weather conditions make it ideal for outdoor use. Besides business promotions, PVC banners are versatile enough to be used at private events like weddings and birthday parties, providing a reliable and eye-catching way to convey messages and decorations.
Read our blog post to learn more about PVC banners and their purposes.
What is meant by PVC-free?
PVC-free refers to products that do not contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is a type of plastic. PVC is associated with environmental and health concerns due to the release of toxic chemicals during its production, use and disposal. PVC-free products aim to reduce these harmful impacts by using alternative and safer materials.
How durable is the 550gsm PVC-free banner material?
The 550gsm PVC-free banner material is highly durable, featuring a hard-wearing construction with a matt finish for enhanced clarity. It is suitable for medium to long-term outdoor displays, boasting a lifespan of up to 5 years. Additionally, the material is also resistant to cracking, even at low temperatures, ensuring reliability in various weather conditions.
What finishing options are available for PVC banners?
PVC banners are available with various finishing options, including hemming, eyelets and pole pockets. These features enhance the banner’s strength, facilitate easy installation and provide versatility in how the banner can be displayed.
How should I display my PVC banner?
Unless specified otherwise, our 550gsm PVC-free banners will be supplied with re-inforced hemmed edges and eyelets. This will make it easy to attach against a building wall or above a shop. Simply use large penny washers over the front of the eyelets and secure using screws inside a raw plug.
If the banner is to be attached to a fence or railings, then you can either use cable ties or a rope to secure it. For best results, we recommend bungee cords as these act like shock absorbers. This will decrease the chances of the banner tearing or ripping in windy conditions. For extremely windy conditions or severe weather conditions, we recommend opting for PVC-free mesh banners. This material is lighter and includes thousands of tiny holes allowing light, wind and sound to pass.
What is the expected lifespan of a PVC banner?
The longevity of a PVC banner depends on its usage and environment. PVC banners that are displayed indoors can last indefinitely due to minimal exposure to harsh conditions. On the other hand, if the banner is displayed outdoors and is fixed against a flat surface, it can last for years. In general, proper installation and protection from extreme weather can extend the lifespan of a PVC banner.
What can I do to preserve the lifespan of my PVC banner?
You can protect your PVC banner by making sure it does not flap against walls or sharp edges. The banner should be taken down in extreme weather conditions, especially in high winds. Be sure to use all the eyelets to secure down the banner, not just the end ones. When not in use, make sure it is rolled up with the graphics facing inwards.
Are PVC banners easy to clean?
PVC banners are relatively easy to clean and can be wiped down with a damp cloth to remove dirt or grime. For more stubborn stains, a mild detergent solution can be used.

However, a key downside is its limited visibility since only one side can display the message, reducing effectiveness in open or high-traffic areas where viewers approach from multiple directions.
