13oz vinyl is the workhorse for indoor and short-to-medium outdoor use. 18oz holds up better for long-term outdoor signage, and mesh lets wind pass through, which is what you want on fences and exposed walls. Standard finishing is hems plus grommets, with the common rule being one every 2 feet and one in each corner. The grommet calculator estimates the count, and tighter spacing helps on big or windy sites. Custom dimensions are no problem; the banner sizing guide walks through picking one.
When standard vinyl isn't the fit
Single-sided 13oz and 18oz vinyl covers most jobs. For the rest, we design and proof these the same way and have them made by the same trusted print partners.
- Double-sided blockout
18oz vinyl with a blockout layer between the two faces, so neither side shadows through and a banner hung in open air reads clean from both directions.
- Mesh fence wraps
Mesh printed in long runs for construction and event fences, so a whole fence line carries your name or your sponsors. The open weave lets wind pass through.
- Fabric and blockout fabric
9oz fabric for indoor displays and events, or blockout fabric when you don't want light or a busy background showing through.
- Backlit banners
Printed for lightboxes, so the graphic reads when it's lit from behind.
- Hand-held banners
For parades, walks and rallies, carried at the front of your group.
- Step and repeat backdrops
Logo-pattern photo walls in 8x8, 9x8 or 10x8 ft (width by height) or custom, in 9oz fabric, with or without a frame. Lay out the logos with the step and repeat calculator.
- Street pole banners
Double-sided 18oz blockout banners with 2 in pole pockets top and bottom, for downtown light poles, campuses and parks. See pole banners.

Vinyl banner FAQ
Banner pricing is mostly square footage: the size times the material, with 13 oz vinyl as the workhorse, 18 oz for wind and repeat use, and mesh for fences and railings. Hems and grommets are typically included; pole pockets, wind slits, and double-sided printing are the add-ons that move the number. Send the specifics for a free quote, usually within one business day, and see our pricing guide for what affects the number.
