    What is a Banner?

    A banner is a piece of cloth or flag that bears your business’s slogan, logo, product details, or any other message you would like to convey to the audience. However, it’s important to note that banners are not exclusively made of cloth. These days, other materials, such as vinyl and mesh are often used as well.

    Uses of Banners

    Once you go to a banner printing shop in New Jersey, the first question they’ll ask is what you intend to use the banner for. Here are some of the top uses:

    Making an Announcement

    If your business is moving to a new location or opening a new branch, a banner would come in handy to break the news. Other announcements worth putting on a banner include “Now Leasing” and “Now Hiring”.

    Gratitude Banners

    Contrary to popular belief, banners do more than just advertise products or services. For instance, you can put up a banner to thank your customers for their continued support. You can also thank those who go above and beyond to serve others, such as healthcare workers during this pandemic period.

    Event Banners

    Almost all events need a banner sign. Whether it’s a trade show, an expo, or a business conference, a banner helps you spread the message to many people at the same time.

    Materials Used in Making Banners

    Here are some of the materials you can expect to find in different banners:

    Vinyl Banners

    Vinyl banners are some of the most popular in the market because they are sturdy and waterproof. That means they can withstand the New Jersey weather all year round. As well, vinyl banners can be created quickly.

    Mesh Banners

    While vinyl banners and signs are very popular, mesh is a close second. It comes in handy for large-format printing in New Jersey. A major benefit of mesh banners is that you don’t have to worry about the wind blowing them around. You can use a mesh banner in New Jersey to mask ongoing construction or as a building wrap.

    Fabric Banners

    Fabric banners are usually made of polyester or satin. These banners are machine-washable and crease-resistant, making them extremely popular. The downside, however, is that fabric banners can be tarnished if used outdoors.

    Grouping Banners by Style

    Besides grouping banners by material, we can also group them by style. For example:

    Pull-Up Banner
    Stands

    These banners are also commonly referred to as roll-up banners. They are mostly ideal for tradeshow events and indoor retail signage. As the name suggests, roll-up banners expand and collapse with ease. That makes it easy to set them up and carry them around. The standard size for pull-up banners is around six-feet tall, though the width varies depending on your needs.

    Step and Repeat Banners

    Step and repeat banners are a common sight at events where press photos need to be taken or there are presentations to be done. It’s a good method to create personalized banners. Since they act as backdrops, they don’t need to be packed with lots of information, just the logo and slogan on repeat.

    Pole
    Banners

    Do you have an upcoming festival or event you would like to promote across New Jersey? Pole banners will do the job well. Other uses of pole banners include decorating the main entrances of events and adding a touch of color to entertainment spots.
