Banner Sorts - Vinyl, Cloth Material, And Polypro Banners, Plus Other Varieties
I am typically asked if there are more than one number of PVC vinyl banners. If the meaning of this questions is with regard to weights or sizes or whether or not a banner will be printed on each side or just one facet, the answer is "yes."
Conversely, if you're speaking of multiple sorts of vinyl, then the answer, for all intents and functions, is "no."
However, the nylon threading that the fiber is wrapped round could fluctuate in measurement and closeness together, the pliability of the material (additional plasticizers are added to make the fabric more supple in some cases) - this stuff can fluctuate, but PVC is polyvinyl chloride, and it doesn't change its chemical composition.
Banner weights vary and are primarily based on ounces per square foot or on grams per sq. meter, relying on where you might be or where the material is manufactured. Light-weight PVC banner material may approach as little as eight ounces per sq. foot and may go very heavy, although hardly ever beyond 21 ounces per square foot.
Now if the query is concerning varieties of banner material, that is an entirely totally different question. A very lightweight materials used for temp banners or indoor banners is known as a polypro banner, which, if spelled out fully would be a polypropylene banner. This is a cheap retractable banner that's finest suited to screen printing of very excessive volumes of banners in an inline display screen printing press such as the "oval eight." They tend to be low cost, throwaway banners that are used for a short duration comparable to per week or month long special at a fast meals restaurant or the like.
Another banner materials, additionally best identified for being display printed, is the Tyvek banner, although on account of the price of this materials, I do not hear about it a lot in the market any longer, though it may be, just not anything I hear about.
Lastly, cloth fabric banners are a generally dye sublimation printed materials that is in style in commerce shows and retail environments. Dye sublimation printing entails using a special kind of printing than commonplace digital printing of PVC banners. Rather than using the standard direct-to-substrate printing that's customary to digital printing, the dye is printed to a switch paper as a mirror image.
Once printed, the paper is matched as much as the correct sized material, typically a polymer-based fabric like polyester - a versatile fabric that may take many forms from a silky satin to heavy duty knits to sheer supplies, and even some double-sided banner materials. The fabric is run by heated rollers at excessive pressure, changing the dye right into a fuel which is then forced into the open pores of the material, creating a gorgeous continuous photographic-kind print that will final a very long time because the dye has become a part of the material itself on this print process.
So, sure, there's one kind of vinyl banner that may be digitally printed or screen printed, then others that are best display screen printed, and at last, dye sub printed fabric banners. Most banners now are the first and final sorts talked about here. At the very least with the purchasers we deal with.
