Mesh Banner Material

Mesh banners are digitally printed in full color on a high quality mesh banner material. The mesh material has criss-crossed fibers which allow about 37% of the air to flow through the banner. Mesh banners can be any size up to 16 feet by 50 feet without seams. Mesh banners are intended to be used outdoors for lots of different purposes.

Design Methods

If you select "Pick a Template" or "Upload a File," you will be taken into the online designer where you can add a background image, upload clip art images, add text, and upload your own graphics. If you want us to design the artwork, choose "Let Us Design" and a pop-up window will appear where you can upload any logos or images and provide special instructions.

Artwork Guidelines

For complete guidelines, please visit the artwork specifications page.

Files that print best are .eps converted to outline. We can also print high resolution .pdf, .tif, and .jpg formats. Typically 300 dpi or higher is suitable for banners.

We print in four color CMYK or six color CMYK, LC, LM. Please keep this in mind when submitting files for printing as color tone shifting may happen if the file is submitted in RGB format. If there is a specific PMS color you need, please specify that to us when submitting your order so we can help you verify that the proper color mix is used (vector artwork only).

Customer supplied files are printed as submitted, so we cannot guarantee color, clarity or final output since we are printing only the supplied files and have not set them up for printing.

All of our printers are calibrated daily to ICC coloring profile standards to ensure accurate color production.

Artwork Proofs

During the checkout process, you can choose to have your artwork go straight into production after payment is received* or have an artwork proof emailed to you. The proof will include a low-resolution image of your artwork, a summary of your order, pricing information, and your billing and shipping information. If you select an additional proof, you will have to email or call the customer service representative back with approval before your order will go into production.

*We review all artwork before putting it into production. If we notice that the quality of your artwork is too low for production, we will email you even if you didn't select the additional artwork proof.

Options

Mesh Banner Finishing Options

The standard finish is heat welded hems and grommets every 2-4 feet around the banner perimeter. Other finishing options include:

• Reinforced corners
• Reinforced hems
• 2" pole pocket - fits a 3/4" diameter pole
• 3" pole pocket - fits a 1 1/4" diameter pole
• 4" pole pocket - fits a 1 1/2" diameter pole

By selecting pole pockets, there will be no increase in the finished size of your banner. Pole pockets can either be 2", 3", or 4". We don't recommend having any text or images within 3 inches of the edge of the banner when you select pole pockets.

Pole pockets can be on the top, bottom, right and left sides. If you select pole pockets, you cannot have reinforced hems or reinforced corners on the banner.

How To's

Mesh Banner Installation

Mesh banners include hems and grommets for easy installation. We also have ball bungees and hanging clips available to order with your banner.

Hanging Your Banner

When you hang your banner, you should use all of the grommets provided. If you only use a portion of the grommets, the banner may have undue stress which can lead to the grommets getting torn out. You can use bungee cords, hanging clips, zip ties or ropes to hang your banner on fences, buildings or between poles.

If you are going to hang your banner over a street, we recommend contacting your local DOT for the street banner hanging requirements. We will work with you to make sure that your banner meets all of the requirements if you let us know in advance. 

Mesh Banner Care

If you need to clean your banner, use a non-abrasive cloth and avoid using detergents or other cleaners as they may deteriorate the print. When you are done, make sure the banner is dry before storing.

Storing Your Mesh Banner

We recommend keeping the shipping box for storing your banner. You can roll the banner up and put it back into the box we provided. Store the banner in a cool, dry room when it's not in use.
