PVC Mesh Hanging Banners

Premium Mesh Hanging Banner

PVC Mesh hanging banners are ideal for outside use in high wind areas as the fine mesh allows wind to pass through. Sometimes described as windproof banners. We print and finish Mesh Hanging Banners to any size or specification using our super-wide format solvent printing machines.

With thousands of tiny holes in the material, PVC Mesh banners allow air and some light to pass through, which means less resistance to gusts of wind. Standard mesh still has a 70% print area meaning that your graphics remain vibrant. These windproof hanging banners are ideal for high building and scaffolding wraps and lamp post banners. Billowing, flapping and the risk of your banner ripping from its fixings are all reduced.

Mesh Hanging Banner – Lightweight and Windproof

Mesh Banner is lighter in weight than a traditional frontlit banner. Normal PVC outdoor banners are not recommended in winds of 30mph+ as hems and eyelets can be ripped out. Remember that a large non-mesh banner acts as a giant sail. Gusts of wind can easily destroy it as well as affect the structure it is fitted to. Larger non-mesh banners are fine as long as they are fitted against a solid surface or within a fixed wall-mounted tension-frame system.

Although they cost the same initially as a standard PVC Banner, thanks to a much lower wind resistance factor, Mesh Banners last much longer outdoors in typical British weather conditions – making them cheaper in the long run.

Why use a Mesh Hanging Banner?

Lighter and easier to fit
Allows wind to pass through
Reduces wind loading on fences, cafe barriers and scaffolding
Acoustically transparent for use over concert speakers
Hardwearing and scuff resistant

Any Design, Any Size

Our UV and Solvent printing machines print high resolution mesh panels at up to 5 metres in width. Larger banners are welded together allowing us to create windproof banners at any size. Design your artwork any way you like, just submit it to us as a CMYK PDF for best results. You can include background images, photographs, logos and text. Check our Artwork Guide for full instructions.

Fitting Mesh Hanging Banners

A professional survey of your intended installation site is advisable for any banners over 25 square metres in size. A surveyor will calculate wind-loading on the structure and advise on the fixings necessary.

Larger Mesh Banners such as Building Wraps are normally installed in sections, straight onto scaffolding using Bungee Shock Cord. Your scaffolder should ensure that no pole ends are projecting that they may damage your banner.

Without scaffolding, large mesh banners can also be installed using a wire cable frame and a criss-cross effect of bungee rope. This method allows even more give when the wind hits the mesh banner and ensures a secure and long-lasting installation.

Finishing Mesh Hanging Banners

As standard we hem and eyelet our Mesh Banners all round with webbing and metal eyelets. Pockets to slide poles through can be provided at no extra cost, please specify the pole diameter in your order notes. Check our Guide to Pole Pockets on Banners.

As an option you can select Heavy Duty Hems and Eyelets, recommended if your mesh banner is over 10 square metres in size.

Material Specification

Our Mesh Banner material is waterproof and flame retardant to B1 standard thanks to a special coating, making it ideal for use indoors or outdoors. Strengthening within the mesh makes it tear and rip resistant to normal pressures too.

Free Delivery on Orders over £250

We deliver Mesh Hanging Banners for free if your order totals over £250 excluding VAT.

Design Guide for Mesh Banners

Set your dimensions correctly

Please set your artwork to the correct dimensions of your final printed mesh banner. We do not require any bleed on the artwork for a printed mesh. If necessary, you can set your artwork to scale.

Set the correct CMYK colour settings

Please make sure that you set your colour settings to CMYK. Our mesh banner printers use a full colour solvent printing process which works using a CMYK Process. Files that are sent to use using an RGB setup will be changed automatically. Sometimes this can make the colours on your mesh printed banner seem weak & washed out. We will check for this before printing and contact you if required.

Position of eyelets on your Printed Mesh Hanging Banners

Please leave clear area approx 50mm inside the outside of the banner. Background colour / images are fine, just no important text elements, small print or logos as these can be obscured by the eyelets. Around our mesh banners we will add hem and eyelets unless otherwise stated. It is not advised to have just eyelets (without the hem) as this can cause the material to rip.

We space our eyelets approx every 500mm apart unless otherwise stated. Eyelets will be evenly spaced so eyelet spacing might vary slightly on different sizes of banners.

Pole Pockets on Mesh Hanging Banners

We can finish your mesh banners with pole pockets if required. Please make sure when ordering / setting of your artwork that your artwork / finished file size is set to the finished overall size of the banner including the pole pockets. Standard scaffold tubes are a 150mm flat pocket size to fit comfortably with plenty of space as to not cause to much tension on the pocket seam. Please ensure that you leave a clear area at the top and the bottom of the banners to allow for the pockets. To explain – if your banner is 2m height please set to 2m height and then make sure that no text, logos and its info enters the top 150mm or bottom 150mm of the design area. Solid colour/ background images or patterns are fine just not text or vital information. Check here for more information on pole pockets and how to design for them.

Design Principles for Mesh Hanging Banners

Because mesh banners are used for advertising its always important to think of viewing distances. Always create your artwork to give the highest possible impact. Contrasting colours will give your banner much more clout than washed out subtle colours.

Also think about text sizes. The larger the text the more it will be viewed from a distance. Use upper and lower fonts. Look at road signs as they are all in upper and lower type rather than all capitals. Subconsciously your eyes will read upper and lower (sentence case). Font type…. Normally clearer fonts work better than stripy unreadable fonts. Look at most main brands, i.e. McDonalds, IKEA, B&Q, Dominos Pizza – all these companies use very readable fonts and typefaces.

Less is more, cramming every little bit of information onto your mesh banner probably isn’t a good idea. Remember to use clear areas of space and give your design space to breathe. The best adverts are always simple and straight to the point. Remember your average viewer needs to read your message in 3 seconds or less.

Artwork Guidelines Back to top

Before submitting artwork, please make sure you have read these guidelines carefully as we cannot accept responsibility for any incorrect printing due to setup / artwork error.

File Formats

We only accept files in PDF, AI, EPS, JPEG, PSD or TIF Formats
(Tif / PSD files must be flattened)

Type

All Text on files must be created to outlines, curves or paths. Please make sure text is converted before saving PDF files.

Colour Settings

All Files must be set to CMYK format. Please make sure there are no spot colours or pantones in your artwork as this can output unexpected results. As our service is a CMYK 4 colour process we cannot guarantee exact matches to Pantone, Ral or Spot colours.

Colour Matching

Each and every print machine, hand head device, desktop printer will interperature colours differently. Due to print tolerances and the nature of our business we cannot guarantee an exact match to something that is shown on a computer screen. Most creams, greys and CMYK printed golds can print differently to how they look like on screen. If you are unsure regarding colours then please ask or quote a pantone reference. For larger jobs it is advisable to order a minimum order sample of the colour before ordering, but doing this will delay the order for another 5-6 working days. We can match Pantones if required at an additional charge. Please contact us prior to ordering as this is costed per job. We cannot guarantee an exact match on Pantone colours due to limitations of the CMYK print process but will try to achieve as close as physically possible.

Artwork Templates

For certain items an artwork template is supplied on the product page. These templates are only for items which are set to a specified size. Ie feather flags / deckchairs etc. This will need downloading and your artwork setting on the template prior to ordering. If using the template please assign a separate layer for the artwork and save as a layered pdf, ai or eps file. Please embed images and create outlines on the type before saving.

Pole Pockets

When ordering make sure you select the finished overall size of your banner including the pockets. So if you select a 1m wide x 2m height, then we will manufacture the banner to a total the height of 2m including the pockets.

Clear areas on pole pockets

Please make sure that you leave a clear area for your pockets. The term ‘clear area’ means no items of text or logos. So if you have 150mm flat pockets top and bottom, please don’t let any text or logos to run into these areas. Please note that on a 1500mm flat pocket you will also need to leave an additional 25mm extra for the weld (so 175mm in total. Background colours or images are fine, just no readable text or logos.

Double sided banners

We have special software which flips certain parts of your banners so as to create a seamless pocket on the opposite side. When ordering a double sided banner please just follow the above steps, as the file(s) will need to be set up in the same way. If you require a different image on each side of your double sided banner not a problem, just upload x2 files stating that you require a different image on each side.

For the full comprehensive guide on Pole Pockets click this link please refer to our Pole Pocket Guide here.

Bleed & Crop Marks

Banners, Fabrics and Backdrops

Set your artwork without bleed or crop marks. On banners please remember to leave clear area all around of 4cm so not to conflict with the position of the eyelets.

Decals, Vinyl Prints, Rigid Boards

Please supply all files with 5mm bleed all round. Please don’t save the files with crop marks.

Cut to shape

Vinyl / static cling

In case of an artwork being cut to shape, we require a 5mm bleed plus a contour cut supplied in a separate layer. The cut line should be a contrasting stroke colour to the artwork and clearly named in an individual layer ‘CutContour’

Banners

When showing eyelet positions and/or wind slits or cutter lines on banners. Please supply the artwork file and a separate cutter file. Please ensure that both files are set to the same artboard size and are set to the same scale.

Please supply a separate ai, eps, or pdf file with the cutter or eyelets marks.

Frequently Asked Questions Back to top

What's the maximum size mesh banner you can print?

We produce mesh hanging banners to any size, including ones big enough to wrap around buildings. Our machines print onto 5m wide rolls and sections of mesh are welded together to create bigger banners.

Why should I choose a Mesh Banner?

Mesh material allows wind to pass through it. If your banner is going to be placed in an exposed location, you should use Mesh. This reduces the wind-loading on the structure you install it on.

Do I need reinforced hems?

We can add reinforced hems too your hanging banners if required. You can select this option in the finishing instructions section of the order process. Reinforced hems are a special reinforced webbing welded into the hem which is added to each edge of the banner. This webbing gives the edges added strength for extra durability.

What type of eyelets do you use?

All banners are eyeleted using nickel plated silver eyelets which have a 12mm hole. All banners which specify hem and eyelets are eyeleted every 500mm. Eyelets are evenly spaced across the length and width of the banner so gaps will be as near to 500mm as possible. If you require more eyelets or require them in certain positions, please add this into your order notes.

What are pole pockets?

We can finish you mesh banner with pole pockets if required, We can make the pocket any size you require.

Can this material be printed on both sides?

No. This is a single sided printed only. The reverse side will be white in colour.

I want to order x6 banners but would like you to print x1 of each design. Is this possible?

Yes of course. Upload all your files, then in the additional information box let us know the breakdown of quantities.
