Capture the Public’s Attention With Vinyl Banner Printing
If you’re looking for a tried-and-tested promotional tool to capture the public’s attention, you’ll never go wrong with a vinyl banner. Compared to other signage materials such as wood and aluminum, vinyl is much more affordable and way easier to store, display, and move. Not receiving enough foot traffic? Simply take the banner down and hang it somewhere more noticeable! Done with promotions? Either keep it for next time or surrender it to the nearest recycling center if it’s just a one-time event.
Show off your vinyl banner in different ways – you can either tie it at the corners through the grommets or thread a rope or rod through the pole pockets. Its versatility certainly makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use!
Draw the crowd with a budget-friendly marketing material that will not back down from the blistering heat, heavy downpour, and even gale-force winds. Get your custom vinyl banners from PrintRunner today.

Finishing in Style
Three finishing options are available to secure your vinyl banner printing to its mounting location:
Grommets – Also called nickel grommets or eyelets. These are fixed around the edges or corners of the banner. Pick this finishing option of you’d like to use twist ties to secure your banner to a stand or wall.
Hems and Grommets – Grommets are still placed at the corners, however, the banner edges are then folded over and heat welded to reinforce the sides. This hemming helps keep your banner in shape and the vinyl material from fraying. Best for outdoor use.
Pole Pockets – Banner edges are folded and welded to form a pocket for poles or ropes to be inserted. This finish also reduces creases and provides a solid tensioned look to your vinyl banner.
