Do vinyl banner signs look "cheap"?
The quality of materials used in the production of vinyl banner signs continues to get better and better. It used to be that vinyl banner signs DID have a cheap look about them, but times have changed. With materials and techniques improving all the time, vinyl banner signs are no longer only for the small business owner.
Why are vinyl banner signs inexpensive, anyway?
Are they inferior in some way? No, not at all. Like so many things in today's economy it is a matter of supply and demand. Because sign businesses purchase the material for vinyl banner signs in rolls, they can pay less than someone purchasing just enough for one banner. The increased use of banners by all business sizes has also increased the demand, which in turn lowers the cost. As this owner says, "The printer doesn't know the difference in printing one color or full color" This keeps the cost lower as well. When you have vinyl that use cut vinyl on the base, it takes more manpower. This creates more expense to the sign company, which is then passed along to the client.
How can you display vinyl banner signs to give them the most professional look?

The most commonly used display methods are
- Hanging with ropes, or webbing (see our page for more information on webbing). This can be accomplished with ropes at the corners only, pieces of rope all the way around, or rope woven through the grommets for more support.
- Hanging with hardware. If you are going to use hardware to hang your banner, be sure to let us know. We will have to use a small amount of additional material to create the pole pocket you will need.
- Using a banner stand. This has become a very popular method of displaying your vinyl banner signs. Trade shows are a common place to see many different styles of banner stands. However, more and more companies are choosing to use them for display within their stores, or even outside the door to attract more customer and entice them to come in.
