Should I get grommets?
Grommets are brass rings inserted into the edges of the banner to reinforce holes. Without grommets, the banner vinyl might tear under tension or weight, especially in windy or high-stress environments. Grommets make it easy to attach the banner to various structures (e.g., poles, fences, walls) using ropes, bungee cords, zip ties, or hooks. This versatility ensures the banner can be securely displayed in different settings. We place grommets every 2 feet along the edges to help distribute tension and stress, preventing sagging or tearing. This ensures the banner stays taut and visually appealing. Banners with grommets are more reusable because the reinforced holes withstand multiple installations and takedowns without damage.
Should I hem my vinyl banner?
To hem a banner, we cut the banner 1 inch larger than the finish size, fold back the edge and tape it down with double-sided adhesive hem tape. Hemming your vinyl banner is important because it enhances its durability, appearance, and overall performance. Adhesive Hem Tape: For smaller banners or DIY projects, double-sided adhesive hem tape is a quick solution. Prevents Tearing: The edges of a vinyl banner are the most vulnerable to stress from wind, tension, and handling. Hemming doubles the edge thickness, providing extra strength to prevent tears or fraying.

Neat and Professional Look: Hemmed edges create clean, straight lines, making the banner look polished and well-finished. Prevents Curling: Vinyl banners without hems may curl at the edges over time, especially in outdoor settings. Hemming keeps the edges flat and crisp.
