18 oz Banner Production, Printing & Shipping
Your 18 oz banner is printed in full color using professional wide-format printing equipment on a high-quality heavy-duty 18 oz vinyl substrate selected for demanding indoor and outdoor banner applications. After printing, the edges are welded on all four sides for added durability, and grommets are installed along the top and bottom approximately every 2–3 feet.
