We offer printing onto PVC free banner material at widths up to 3.1 Metres and at almost any length which means that we can produce almost any sized custom made size on demand.
PVC free banners are printed using a UV digital process that provides a durable finish that is waterproof and highly resistant to fading too.
Unlike some other printing processes, UV digital printing involves the use of no harmful solvents (VOC’s) that are environmentally damaging.
Eco Friendly Banner Finishing
Printed banners are traditionally finished with a seam around the edge and eyelets so they can be hung using rope, bungee cords or other fastenings. With some pvc-free materials, this is not possible because the material is not suitable for heat welding. This is a disadvantage since a welded seam gives maximum strength for the hanging eyelets that are punched through it.
Fortunately our PVC Free banner can be heat welded in exactly the same way as the traditional PVC product so there is no compromise as to the strength of the eyelets.
We offer pvc free banners with eyelets positioned at intervals of approximately 1M around the edge for hanging or we can finish the banner with pockets at the top and the bottom if you would like to slide rods inside to hang it. If you don’t want the banner finished with eyelets or pole pockets, that’s no problem either.
Choice Of Material Grade
We have PVC free banners available in two material grades. Our economy material has a weight of 210g per sqM whereas our premium material is heavier at 300g per sqM.
Both products can be printed at the same photographic quality with no restriction on the amount of colour that can be used within the artwork.
We recommend our economy material for short term event use whereas our premium PVC free banner material is recommended for longer term use outdoors for up to 6 Months.
Of course the lifespan of any outdoor banner can be shorter or longer due to environmental conditions, prevailing weather and other factors.
