18 oz. Heavy Duty, Large Vinyl Printing with Internal Blockout
This super heavy duty vinyl material is made with a block out manufactured into the center. Most common uses are pole banners and over street boulevard banners. The 18 oz Heavy Duty large, full color banner is more durable and less expensive than fabric or textile pole banners. Also used in high end retail projects where a smoother material is required. Once again, vinyl delivers durability and efficiency!

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes 18 oz vinyl different from 13 oz vinyl?
The 18 oz material is heavier, thicker, and has an internal blockout layer built into the center of the vinyl. The blockout prevents light from passing through, which matters for pole banners and over-street displays where sunlight hits the back of the banner. It is also more resistant to wind fatigue and physical stress at mounting points. For premium outdoor installations where the banner will be up long-term, 18 oz is the stronger choice.
What does heat welding mean for large banners?
Banners over a certain width cannot be printed as a single continuous sheet. Heat welding joins multiple printed panels edge-to-edge using heat and pressure to create a strong, nearly invisible seam. The result is a single seamless banner at any width or length. This is the process that allows Easy Order Banners to produce projects that most print shops cannot handle.
When should reinforced webbing be added?
Reinforced webbing is a fabric strip sewn or welded along the hem of the banner before grommets are set. It adds a second layer of strength at every mounting point and significantly reduces the risk of grommets tearing out under sustained wind load. It is strongly recommended for any oversized banner mounted outdoors, particularly pole banners, street banners, scaffolding, and building wraps.
What is the grommet spec for large vinyl banners?
All banners ship with standard #2 rust-proof grommets pre-installed along the hem: inside diameter 3/8 in., outside diameter 13/16 in. Grommet spacing can be customized for your mounting method. D-ring upgrades are also available for installations requiring anchor points at specific locations.
Why do large banners ship folded?
Due to carrier requirements, all banners over 48 inches are shipped folded. If your installation cannot accommodate a folded banner, call 800-920-9527 before placing your order to arrange rolled shipment.
