Poster Printing    

Banner Finishing

  Banners are typically larger than a poster and often stretched over a building or backdrop and supported by ropes, fasteners or pole pockets to a frame. Hemming a banner prevents the material from fraying and provides additional strength to reinforce the grommets. Pole pockets are used to support the banner on a frame with support rods. The pocket is a 3" fold that will fit a 1” diameter rod.

Hems
We hem banners with a high strength durable double-sided tape. Hems are 1.0" of media folded over then taped together to make a strong bond and finished edge. The tape does not show a visible seam on the front of the banner. Hemming is recommended on Fabrics Polyester & Satin Cloth.
Outdoor vinyl banners should be hemmed if they will be in partial or full wind.
 

Hem & Grommets
Edges are hemmed then metal grommets are placed at regular intervals, less than 24 ”, to support the weight of the media. Grommets come in brass, nickel and black.

 
Pole Pockets are 3” taped folds, which will accommodate a 1” diameter rod. Standard pole pockets have a viewable area from the top of the pole to the bottom pole. If graphics or text within 1” of the top or bottom of the banner ePingo will add 2” of background to prevent distortion in the viewable area.
See diagram below: Edges are folded over to form a loop for the pole. The loop is taped to the back of the media to form a durable bond.

Note:Grommets are added to the seams to prevent tearing.
