PVC banner printing
PVC and vinyl banners are a popular choice for general advertising because they combine strong colour reproduction with durable, weather-resistant performance. They can be produced in custom dimensions for everything from small promotional displays to large outdoor installations.
For banners installed on walls, fences or other suitable structures, finishing options can include reinforced hems and metal eyelets. Pole pockets or clean-cut edges are also available on selected products.
If the banner will be installed in a windy or exposed position, consider mesh banner printing. For oversized graphics intended to be viewed from a distance, explore our large banner printing range.
PVC or mesh: which material should you choose?
Solid PVC generally provides stronger colour and prevents objects behind the banner from showing through. It is suitable for retail promotions, events, walls and many sheltered outdoor displays.
Mesh contains small perforations that allow some air to pass through the material. This can make it more appropriate for scaffolding, temporary fencing and exposed installations where wind loading must be considered.

Custom sizes and finishing options
Our banners are manufactured to order, allowing you to select dimensions and finishing options suited to the intended installation. Available options vary between products and may include:
- Reinforced hems to strengthen the edges of the banner.
- Metal eyelets providing fixing points for suitable ties, rope or bungee cord.
- Pole pockets for fitting banners over compatible poles, rails or supports.
- Clean-cut edges for specialist installations where additional finishing is not required.
The supporting structure, fixing method, banner size and expected weather conditions should always be considered when planning an outdoor installation.

Printed banner FAQs
What material is best for an outdoor printed banner?
Solid PVC is a popular option for general outdoor advertising because it offers strong colour reproduction and weather-resistant performance. Mesh may be more appropriate for exposed or windy locations because its perforations allow some air to pass through.

Yes. Our printed banners are manufactured to your required dimensions. Enter the width and height into the relevant product calculator to obtain an instant price.
Do you provide an artwork design service?
Yes. You can upload print-ready artwork, use our online design tool or select an artwork service when ordering. All submitted artwork is checked before printing.
What finishing options are available?

How long will a printed banner last?
A banner’s lifespan depends on its material, installation, location, exposure and how it is maintained or stored. Display conditions vary, so there is no single guaranteed lifespan for every outdoor banner.
