With proper installation and care, our premium outdoor vinyl banners typically last 2-3 years in outdoor conditions. Factors affecting lifespan include exposure to direct sunlight, extreme weather conditions, and installation method. Indoor banners can last 5+ years.

The ideal size depends on viewing distance and location. For close viewing (under 10m), smaller banners (2'×4', 3'×6') work well. For medium distances (10-30m), consider 4'×8' or 5'×10'. For long-distance visibility (30m+), we recommend larger custom sizes and emphasizing fewer, larger words in your design.

Wind slits are small curved cuts in the vinyl that allow wind to pass through, reducing pressure on the banner and its mounting points. We recommend wind slits for any outdoor banner larger than 3'×6' or for any installation in open or elevated areas prone to wind. Alternatively, our mesh banners provide natural wind flow without requiring slits.

For best results, secure banners evenly through all provided eyelets using bungee cords, zip ties, or rope. Ensure tension is even across the banner without excessive stretching. For long-term installations, we recommend checking tension periodically and adjusting as needed. We can provide installation hardware and advice for your specific situation.

Both options are available! You can submit print-ready artwork following our specifications, or our professional design team can create custom designs for you.
