Frequently Asked Questions
What is an 18 oz vinyl banner?
An 18 oz vinyl banner is a heavy-duty PVC banner material rated for demanding outdoor conditions. At 18 ounces per square yard, it is thicker and more tear resistant than standard 13 oz vinyl. The block out center layer makes it opaque and dual-side printable, which is why it is the material of choice for pole banners and street banners.
What are 18 oz vinyl banners used for?
The most common applications are pole banners, street banners, building banners, and high-traffic retail displays. The added weight and block out layer handle wind load better than lighter materials and prevent light bleed on double-sided installations.
What is the block out layer?
The block out layer is a layer of material laminated into the center of the 18 oz vinyl. It prevents light from passing through the banner so graphics on one side do not show through to the other side. This makes the material suitable for double-sided prints where both sides display independent artwork.
How do I hang an 18 oz vinyl banner?
Standard #2 grommets are placed along the hem for mounting to fence posts, walls, poles, or building facades. For banners in high-wind locations, we recommend adding reinforced perimeter webbing as a finishing option. This reinforces the hem and reduces stress on the mounting points.
Can I order a custom size?
Yes. We produce 18 oz heavy duty vinyl banners in any custom size. Call us at 800-920-9527 or submit your project online. Note that banners over 48 inches are shipped folded by default; contact us if you need rolled shipment.
