Non PVC banner is a substitute for PVC banner in display products like signs, posters, backdrops and adhesive films. The most common substitutes are PET, PP, PE and polyester, which are types of plastic but better for the environment than PVC.

Vinyl and laminates aren’t measured in GSM but in MC (microns).

PET vinyl

PET vinyl is made from Polyethylene Terephthalate, a highly recyclable plastic used to make block-out and one-way vinyl.

PP vinyl

PP vinyl is made from polypropylene, another highly recyclable plastic used to make high tack, removable and permanent vinyl products.

PE vinyl

PE (polyethene) is used as a coating system for holographic vinyl and to manufacture woven products for short-term use, like posters.

Polyester

Polyester is used to manufacture polyester canvas for banners, with the synthetic woven fabric used outdoors for long-term use.
