Consider using a heavier weight material when your banner will be suspended between poles or buildings
Plan to apply letters to one side of your banner only. Most stocked banner material is guaranteed to be vinyl-receptive on one side. If you choose to put letters on both sides, the non guaranteed side may loose it's letters on that side if the sign is used outdoors. To ensure outdoor durability, letters should only be applied to the proper side.

Large banners require special care during installation, please contact us if you are unsure of the best method.
