Eyeleted Banners

Eyeleted banners are a versatile, high-visibility signage solution ideal for events, promotions, shopfronts, and building wraps. We deliver durable eyeleted banners that combine robust print quality with practical finishing so banners hang securely and look professional for weeks or months. Our standard finishing uses reinforced hems and rust-resistant metal eyelets spaced for effective tension and neat installation.

Standard 440gsm Banners

Standard 440gsm PVC banners provide a cost-effective balance between strength and affordability. They are suitable for short to medium-term outdoor campaigns, market stalls, event signage, and trade promotions. The 440gsm substrate offers excellent opacity to prevent backlight bleed, consistent ink absorption for vivid colour, and enough rigidity to avoid flapping in light wind. Reinforced hems and eyelets increase wind resistance and prolong display life while keeping production costs competitive.

Premium Banners

Premium banners use thicker, heavier PVC or laminated fabric to deliver superior durability, colour vibrancy, and a smoother finish. Premium materials are engineered to resist creasing and UV fading, making them the preferred option for long-term outdoor branding, building hoardings, and permanent event graphics. Premium eyeleted banners include heavy-duty hems, oversized eyelets, UV-stable inks, and optional anti-curl treatments. The finish is consistently flat and professional on large-format installations.

Mesh Banners

Mesh banners are engineered for exposed locations where wind load is a concern. The perforated mesh structure reduces wind drag while still delivering high-resolution print clarity from typical viewing distances. Mesh is ideal for scaffold wraps, stadium signage, construction hoardings, Heras fence panels and large façade applications. We use high-opacity weave mesh where required to improve image legibility and apply reinforced hems and wind slits for installations in particularly windy coastal environments.

Pole Pockets Available for use on scaffolding

Double Sided Banners

Double sided banners maximise visibility in high-traffic zones by presenting graphics on both faces. We produce true double sided eyeleted banners using two printed skins bonded to a blackout interlayer to eliminate show-through and preserve vibrant imagery on both sides. Double sided eyeleted banners are optimal for suspended displays, banners over streets, and freestanding structures where both directions of view are important. Bonding and blackout layers are selected to maintain flexibility for folding and transport while ensuring long-term performance.

Design Considerations

• Visibility and Readability: Bold headlines, high contrast, and concise messaging improve quick recognition at distance.
• Viewing Distance: Determine type sizes and image resolution according to expected viewing distance to avoid pixelation and ensure legibility.
• File Preparation: Supply vector logos and high-resolution images, include correct bleed and safe areas to avoid trimmed text.
• Colour Management: Provide Pantone or CMYK values for brand-critical colours to ensure accurate reproduction across different banner materials.
• Artwork Orientation: Account for eyelet placement and hems in the artwork layout so critical information is not occluded by fixings.

Finishing and Fixings

• Reinforced Hems: Folded and welded hems add strain relief and prevent tearing at mount points.
• Eyelet Options: Standard metal eyelets, reinforced eyelets, and larger grommets are available to suit fixing methods and rope thickness.
• Wind Slits: Optional vertical or horizontal cuts reduce wind load on larger banners and prevent tearing in exposed areas.
• Hem Tape and Webbing: Additional webbing or hem tape can be added for high-stress installations to increase longevity.
• Corner Reinforcements: Extra reinforcement at corners prolongs life when banners are tensioned tightly.
• Pole Pockets: for use by scaffolders, builders or on Gazebos and the like

Material Selection Guide

• Choose Standard 440gsm for short-term outdoor promotions, community events, and cost-conscious campaigns.
• Choose Premium for shopfront branding, long-term outdoor graphics, and high-end events requiring superior finish and durability.
• Choose Mesh for scaffold, hoardings, and locations with significant wind exposure.
• Choose Double Sided when visibility from both directions is a priority or for suspended and street banners.

Installation Advice

• Use appropriate fixings for the mounting surface such as batten rails for wood, tension poles for scaffolding, or reinforced cable ties for temporary installations.
• Tension banners evenly to avoid sagging and flutter.
• Schedule site surveys for large-format or elevated installations to confirm anchor points and wind load considerations.
• For coastal or exposed sites, specify stainless fixings and consider wind-rated mesh or extra wind slits to reduce stress.

Durability and Maintenance

• Use UV-stable inks and anti-fade laminates to extend outdoor life and protect against coastal sun and salt exposure.
• Clean banners with mild soap and water and avoid strong solvents or abrasive brushes.
• Inspect eyelets and hems periodically for wear and retension fixings where necessary.
• Store folded banners in a dry, cool environment to prevent mould and material breakdown between uses.
