Vinyl Banner Hemming, should You Glue, Tape, Sew, or Heat Weld?

Question: How do you hem a printed vinyl banner if you don’t have a sewing machine to stitch the edges?

This is a good question, as many shops don’t have an industrial sewing machine to hem banners. However, glue is not the only way to hem banners, although it does not require machinery to hem your PVC banners with glue.

Gluing the Banner

The way to use glue is first, of course, to get the right glue for vinyl banners. The way we did it when we glued hems for a short time was to lay the banner flat on a table,

This is why I can’t give you the average cost of a vinyl banner…

Factors in Pricing PVC Banners

I am often asked, “What is an average cost of a custom PVC vinyl banner? If, for instance, the question comes from “Joe Home Builder,” I will often reply to such queries, somewhat tongue in cheek, with a question like “How much would it cost to build me a house?”

Of course, Joe Home Builder would reply with questions such as how many square feet would the house have, how many rooms, is it one or two stories,

Will a Vinyl PVC Banner Float in or on Water?

Banners

Letting vinyl banners float on the ocean, lake or river, why would you even do that?

I have a client asking if a vinyl banner will float on water, presumably in a lake, river or ocean.

Why Float Vinyl Banner on Water

First, I would have to ask why would you want to put a printed vinyl banner in a lake in the first place? Are you advertising to aircraft that are flying overhead? Or boaters going by on the lake or river or ocean? Or are you afraid that it may fly off your large boat (maybe it’s for sale and you have a banner attached to the side of your craft).

Dye sublimation printed Fabric Banners versus Vinyl Banners, which do you think is better? Well, here’s what I think.

Question: Can you tell me why you think vinyl banners or cloth fabric banners are superior?

Yes, and no. They are both superior in certain applications, and both inferior in other applications. It would be similar, I think, to ask whether a car or a pickup truck is superior. The answer would be similar. Yes. And no.

A pickup truck is great if you need to haul a bed or a couch or a dresser or a fridge,

The different kinds of printed banners available in the market today.

Question: How Many Different Types of Banners Are There?

Quite a few if you break some of the major categories into individual pieces. Also, some banners that were popular in past years have all but faded from the scene due to changes in technology and printing.

The main categories in existence today are PVC, or vinyl banners, and fabric banners. Both of these categories are fairly expansive, and I will not go into all the nuances of each material, but I will give a good overview of the more popular choices.

The type of plastic and fabric materials printed on to make banner displays.

Question: What type of plastic are banners printed on?

Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, is still one of the most popular materials to print banners with. There are other plastics as well, although one is a fabric type of plastic, but comes from petroleum as well.

Polyvinyl Chloride

PVC is a petroleum-based plastic, as they all are, that has had “plasticizers” added to create the soft, roll-able material that many printers, screen, digital, and other printers have used for the past three decades.
