You’ve purchased a vinyl banner and would like to use it more than once.  Here are a couple of tips for maintaining your banner:

1. Cleansing.  All of our banners are water-proof, so they can be cleaned lightly with a mild detergent or soap in water.  Do not use a harsh, abrasive, or alcohol-based cleanser; each of these can damage the image or message printed on the vinyl.
2. Storage.  Roll up your banner into a tube.  Do not fold your banner.  Folding a banner will permanently leave creases on the vinyl.  Likewise, wadding up a banner and tossing it into the trunk of a car will produce a banner that will look the way you treated it.  Keeping your banner in a cardboard tube is a good way to store it; this makes it easy to move and will have it ready for your next application.

The standard types of vinyl used are:

10 oz vinyl – this is the standard vinyl used for most banners.  It can be used indoors and outdoors.  It’s light and easy to hang.

13 oz vinyl – this provides the additional strength needed for added support and extended life.  It stands up to more extreme wind conditions outdoors and repeated applications indoors.

We use 13 oz vinyl for all of our banners.  It’s long-lasting, durable, flexible, and can handle most outdoor demands.  It is also reusable and works well indoors for many promotional needs.  It will last a long time if treated properly.
