Event Banner vs Premium PVC Banner

Our 440gsm Event Banner material is designed for short- to medium-term promotional use, where excellent print quality and value are priorities. It offers an economical alternative to our heavier 500gsm Premium PVC Banner while still delivering professional results.

If your banner will remain outdoors for extended periods, be installed in demanding environments or require widths greater than 2 metres without joins, we recommend upgrading to our Premium PVC Banner.

Read our guide explaining the differences between Premium and Event Banners.

Banner Finishing Options

Every event banner includes professional finishing as standard, allowing your banner to be installed quickly and securely.

• Welded hems.
• Nickel eyelets.
• Custom finishing available on request.

We recommend bungee cords where possible, as they help maintain tension while reducing stress on the banner during windy conditions.

Different applications require different materials. Banner World offers a complete range of banner solutions to suit every project.

Artwork Guidelines

Our experienced artwork team checks every supplied file before production to ensure the highest possible print quality.

• Create artwork to the correct proportions.

• Leave approximately 50mm clear around the edge for eyelets.
• Use large, easy-to-read fonts.
• Keep your message simple and visible from a distance.
• Ensure logos and important text remain outside the finishing area.

Installing Your Event Banner

Choosing the correct fixing method helps maximise your banner’s lifespan.

What are event banners used for?

Event banners are ideal for promoting festivals, sporting events, exhibitions, charity fundraisers, school events, retail promotions, product launches and community events. They provide a cost-effective way to advertise, direct visitors and showcase sponsors both indoors and outdoors.

What material are your event banners printed on?

Our standard event banners are printed on high-quality 440gsm laminated PVC. This durable material offers excellent print quality and weather resistance, making it ideal for short to medium-term outdoor use and long-term indoor displays.

Are event banners suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. Our event banners are weather-resistant, UV printed and designed for outdoor use. For particularly exposed or long-term installations, we may recommend our Premium 500gsm PVC Banners or Mesh Banners depending on the location.

What size event banner should I choose?

We can manufacture event banners in almost any size. The ideal dimensions depend on where the banner will be displayed and the viewing distance. If you’re unsure, our team will be happy to recommend the most suitable size for your application.

Can you print my company logo or sponsor branding?

Absolutely. We can print logos, sponsor branding, promotional graphics, photographs and full-colour artwork to create a completely bespoke event banner tailored to your event or business.

Do you charge for hem and eyelets or pole pockets?

No. Standard finishing is included in the cost. Specialist finishing could be charged additionally.

What is the specification of your eyelets?

Our eyelets are nickel plated. The centre hole has a diameter of 12mm and our eyelets are positioned approx every 500mm apart unless otherwise stated.

Can you ship banners around the world?

Yes we ship worldwide. Please email us your requirements for a quote.

What material is your event banner?

Our event banner is manufactured from a 440gsm PVC laminated material. The material is more cost effective than our premium banners and is ideal for short to mid term usage. Still high quality, other suppliers online actually describe it as their ‘premium’ banner.

Can I have pole pockets?

Yes we can manufacture your banner with pole pockets if required.

Can I have a banner larger than 2m in any one dimension?

Yes we can manufacture a banner larger than 2m in one dimension only. One length has to be under 2m due to the material roll width. For larger banners you will need our PVC Premium Banner.

Is the print quality the same as your premium banners?

Yes the print quality is the same as our premium banners.

Can you send me a sample?

Yes, please check our Samples page.

Can I use the banners more than once, i.e. for future events if stored away?

Yes they can be used on more than one event providing they are stored correctly when not in use. Rolled up in a dry location in between events.  For examaple if you have an annual event there is no reason why you shouldn’t get a few years use if they are only used short periods at a time and don’t get damaged.

I want to order multiple banner of different sizes, How do I do this without incurring minimum order charge for each size banner?

There are 2 ways in which this can be done.

1. Add up the total sq metres of all you banners. For example if this comes to 50sqm then simply order x1 banner at 50m x 1m as this is 50 sqm and you will be charged the correct price. Then write a total breakdown in the additional instructions box of how many of each banner is required.

2. Email us with a breakdown of what you want to order along with the artwork and your billing & shipping address. One of our sales team will then email a quote back to you. on approval of this quote a pro forma invoice will be issued.

Do you offer the same finishing options as the Premium Banners?

We offer all the same standard finishing as the Premium PVC.  However there is no option for the optional reinforced extras as this is a low cost short term product. We recommend opting for Premium PVC if you require something stronger with reinforced hem or reinforced stitched pocket for longer term use.
