Why pick the right printed banner?
Banners communicate or hide a site. Choice of material depends on the mounting location and wind. We check the installation spot first to advise between PVC and mesh (microperforated).
PVC solid or microperforated mesh
Wind creates lift on large banners. A microperforated banner often fixes this because the many small holes let wind pass through, reducing lift.
“Il faut faire attention à l'endroit où va être poser la bâche. Le vent peut souffler la bâche, au plus la bâche est grande, au plus il y a de la portance au vent. Un micro perforé règle souvent ce problème car le vent traverse la bâche par la multitude de petit trous (microperforé)”
Printing techniques we use and avoid
For banners we use large-format plotter printers. We avoid conventional textile digital printing on banners because it is not suited to large formats and banner specifics. Our printable range runs from 20 cm x 50 cm minimum to 25000 cm by 480 cm maximum on our equipment.

How we reinforce and place eyelets
Eyelets without reinforcement tend to tear. We make a hem around the whole banner (hot bonding) then place the eyelets in that hem — typically on the 4 corners and every 30 cm — to keep strength and spread tension.

Typical finish options: reinforced hem, webbing, stainless eyelets, velcro or rope attachments, depending on installation needs.
Quick comparison
| Option | Benefit | Limitation |
|---|---|---|
| PVC solid | Strong colour density | Higher wind load |
| Microperforated mesh | Allows wind through, suited for large areas | Slight loss in colour density |
| Plotter printing | Made for banners | Minimum size requirements |

Summary
The right banner is chosen for its location, reinforced around the perimeter and fitted with eyelets to spread loads. Describe your project and we will prepare a technical proposal and a free quote.
