Why are some banners cheaper than others?
Material, finish, and durability explained
Cheaper banners often use thinner PVC, lighter ink coverage, or skip reinforced hems and eyelets — fine for a one-day event but poor for repeated outdoor use. Price differences come from material weight (gsm), print quality, finishing (eyelets, hems, pole pockets), stand hardware for roll-ups, design time, and turnaround speed. We explain the trade-offs so you choose the right option, not just the cheapest.

What affects the price of a custom banner?
Size, material, artwork, quantity, finishing, urgency
Key price factors: banner dimensions (square metreage), material type (PVC, mesh, fabric), print coverage, number of eyelets and finishing options, whether a roll-up stand is included, design support, quantity, and rush turnaround. Sending print-ready artwork keeps costs down.

What is the best material for an outdoor banner?
Surviving wind, rain, and Irish weather
For most outdoor use, 510gsm PVC with hemmed edges and reinforced eyelets is the best all-round choice. In very windy locations (fences, scaffolding, gable ends), mesh PVC allows air through and lasts longer. For short-term events, 440gsm PVC is a cost-effective option.
PVC & outdoor bannersWhat is the difference between PVC and vinyl banners?
Terminology explained
▼
What is the difference between PVC and vinyl banners?
Terminology explained
In banner printing, PVC and vinyl are often used interchangeably — both refer to flexible plastic banner material printed with UV inks. PVC banners are the standard for outdoor signage. Roll-up banners use a different, stiffer banner film designed to curl into a cassette without cracking.
What is the difference between PVC, mesh and fabric banners?
Choosing the right material
▼
What is the difference between PVC, mesh and fabric banners?
Choosing the right material
PVC: solid, waterproof, vibrant — best for shop fronts, walls, and medium-term outdoor use. Mesh: perforated, wind-resistant — best for fences and large outdoor installs. Fabric: softer, often used for indoor backdrops, exhibition displays, and premium indoor events. We recommend by location and use case.

Are PVC banners waterproof?
Outdoor confidence in Irish rain
Yes. PVC banners are waterproof and designed for outdoor use in Irish weather. UV-resistant inks help prevent fading in sunlight. For longest life, avoid letting water pool at the bottom of vertically hung banners and check eyelets periodically on long-term installs.

How long does an outdoor banner last?
Durability and value
A quality 510gsm PVC banner typically lasts 2–3 years outdoors in Irish conditions with proper installation. 440gsm banners may last 1–2 years in exposed locations. Mesh banners often outlast solid PVC in very windy sites. Indoor banners can last 5+ years.

Can I use an indoor banner outside?
Avoiding the wrong purchase
Indoor banner film and economy PVC are not ideal for long-term outdoor exposure. Roll-up banner graphics are designed for indoor use only. For outdoor promotions, use proper outdoor PVC or mesh — we will steer you away from materials that will fail in the rain.

What file format do you need for banner printing?
PDF, AI, EPS, and resolution requirements
We accept PDF, AI, EPS, and high-resolution PNG/JPG files. Vector artwork (PDF/AI/EPS) is best for logos and text. For photographic banners, supply images at 100–150 DPI at final print size (banners are viewed from a distance, so resolution requirements are lower than flyers).

Logos from vector files (PDF, AI, EPS) print sharply at any size. Low-resolution logos from websites or WhatsApp may look pixelated when enlarged — we check artwork before printing and will ask for a better file or redraw simple logos if needed.

How much text should I put on a banner?
Design discipline for readability
Less is more. A banner viewed from 10 metres away needs large, bold text — typically a headline, one supporting line, and a contact or website. Avoid paragraphs. We help customers trim messaging so the banner reads in seconds.

Can I get eyelets or holes in the banner?
Hanging and installation options
Yes. Reinforced metal eyelets are standard on PVC banners — typically every 50cm around the perimeter. Eyelets let you tie the banner to fences, walls, and scaffolding with cable ties, rope, or bungee cord. Corner holes are included as part of standard finishing.

How to hang your banner
Eyelets are reinforced metal rings punched into the banner hem. You thread cable ties, rope, or bungee cords through them to secure the banner to fences, railings, walls, or frames. They prevent tearing at mounting points.

What are pole pockets?
Hanging on poles and frames
Pole pockets are folded sleeves sewn or welded along the top or bottom edge of a banner so you can slide a pole or bar through. Common for street banners, lamp-post displays, and frame systems. Ask for pole pockets when requesting your quote.

How do I hang a banner on a fence?
Practical installation advice
Use cable ties through the eyelets at the top and bottom of the banner, pulling evenly to avoid distortion. For windy sites, use more tie points and consider mesh material. Do not over-tension — allow slight give to reduce tearing.
