Some signs and banner styles are meant for being used for just a short period of time. Others are used for long term or used repeatedly and are intended and designed to last. Spending money on a banner? If you buy the right one and care for it properly it will be a great and durable marketing and advertising investment. Whether you're hanging it permanently or planning to bring it out for specific occasions, the right choice of materials, a solid company supplying it, and the right care and storage will mean that you'll own signage you can use and re-use.
One way to make sure that a banner lasts is to make sure you buy it from a company that cares about quality. Look for an established banner and sign company who offers a lot of products and who has an established reputation in your local area. Doing a bit of due diligence to make sure you are dealing with a solid company will help you get the results you are hoping for and it will help you buy the right banner for your needs.
How do you buy the right banner?
Talk to a company about what you're using it for. Questions they may ask could include:
• Where will the banner be used? (An indoor versus an outdoor version could dictate the materials used)
• How big do you want it to be?
• Would you prefer colour or black and white?
• What does it need to say?
• How big do you want it to be?
• Would you prefer colour or black and white?
• What does it need to say?
Once you receive a quote and confirmation of the design, the process can begin. The right outcome should result in something that suits your needs and if you indicated you wanted something reusable, you should be able to store it and keep it looking good for the next time you plan to use it.
Caring for a Banner
When you care for a banner you will maximise its lifespan. When buying it, talk to the provider about specific care instructions.
Here are some tips:
• Roll it when storing, rather than folding. Rolling will help prevent creases and will help keep printing in tact. Ensure it's dry before storing and if possible, store in a sealed tube.
• If it needs to be cleaned, talk to the sign company to find out how to clean it without damaging any printing on the banner. Some versions can be power washed and hung to dry. Others require special cleaning.
• Follow directions for hanging it. Certain substances might require special kits, such as if you're affixing it to brick, for instance. Do your best to equally distribute the load by balancing the way the banner is hung. Look at some alternative hanging options as well, such as banner frames.
The sign right company combined with the right material used and production / printing process should result in your being pleased with the results and not just happy to use the banner in the future but also a resulting ability to use that banner long term or repeatedly, if desire
