Looking for maybe a Banner that allows the wind to pass through it without effecting the print. Try our Mesh PVC Banners.
Mesh PVC Banner material?
What is a mesh banner? Mesh banners are banners with holes in them. Typically they are in the ratio of 70/30 or 60/40. Mesh banners are digitally printed and can be done in any size.
Mesh banners are more appropriate for large size banners that will go on a building or a fence. Since the banners will be viewed from a distance the holes in the material are not visible. Also, the holes allow the wind to pass through and therefore longer life for the banner. But mesh banners can only be single sided as compared to the PVC banner.
