The nylon-reinforced vinyl FASTSIGNS uses is very durable and should last a long time when properly installed. The location you choose for your banner will help determine the best banner solution for you, as the printing options may vary in durability, especially when exposed to full sun. Consult with your FASTSIGNS center to determine the best material solution for the purpose and location you have in mind.

Grommets or other finishing options such as hemmed edges, pole pockets, banner-ups, or d-rings with nylon webbing can be added to banners.  Although grommets are the most commonly used finishing option, depending on the use of your banner, another option may better serve your needs. Consult with your FASTSIGNS center to determine the best finishing option for the purpose and location you have in mind.

The longevity of an outdoor banner varies widely. After the vinyl and printing choice, the life of your banner depends on appropriate installation and on environmental conditions like sun and wind which usually range from extreme to moderate. Banners are most commonly intended for short-term applications. Your FASTSIGNS consultant will be able to provide you with the best options to fit your budget and communications needs. Keep in mind that while a banner is an excellent and time-tested promotional sign, it is not a substitute for a permanent sign.

The cost to install a banner depends on a number of factors including:

1) The location: It is 200 feet on the side of a high-rise building or on a single story exterior wall or inside a cafeteria?
2) The size and weight: What’s required to transport the banner to the install location? How many people will be needed to lift, hang and secure it?
3) Local permitting requirements: Is one required? Are we getting it or have you already arranged for it? The timing: Is it needed today, or do we have a few days to work it into our schedule?
