Choosing the right material for your custom banner is essential to make your trade show display stand out. With numerous options available, it can be overwhelming to decide which one is best suited for your needs. In this blog post, we'll address some frequently asked questions regarding the best type of material for custom banners.
Importance of Choosing the Right Material for your Custom Banner
The material you choose for your custom banner can significantly impact its effectiveness and durability. It not only serves as a backdrop for your booth, but also reflects your professionalism and attention to detail. The right material will enhance the visual appeal, withstand the environmental conditions of your event, and ensure longevity. It is crucial to select a material that aligns with your display needs, whether it’s for indoor events, outdoor exhibitions, or repeated use.
What is the difference between fabric and vinyl banners?
Choosing between fabric and vinyl banners depends on your specific requirements. Vinyl banners offer durability and are suitable for outdoor use, while fabric banners provide a softer, more elegant look, and are ideal for indoor events.
Whether you choose a vinyl or fabric vertical banner stand, At CustomBannerLab, we provide excellent quality printing and stunning graphics. Your brand will stand out from the crowd with the professional print quality and vivid colors.
Tips to Consider Before Purchasing Custom Banners
When it comes to purchasing a custom banner for your trade show or event, choosing the right material is crucial. The material not only affects the visual appeal but also the durability and functionality of the banner. Here are some essential tips to consider before purchasing custom banners:
1. Consider the event location
The environment where your banner will be displayed plays a significant role in material selection. Vinyl banners are perfect for outdoor events as they can withstand harsh weather conditions like rain, wind, and UV rays. Fabric banners, on the other hand, are more suitable for indoor settings where they are protected from the elements and can showcase their high-quality print and texture.
2. Usage Frequency
Are you purchasing for one-time use or looking for something you can use repeatedly? Consider how often you plan to use the banner. If you need a banner for multiple events over a long period, you’ll want a material that can withstand repeated use and transportation. At CustomBannerLab, our custom banners are made from high-quality vinyl material that can stand the test of time and repeated use.
3. Think about transportation and storage
When it comes to attending trade shows, it's essential to consider how you'll transport and store your banners. Banners need to be easy to move and store to ensure they stay in great condition and are ready to impress at every event. At CustomBannerLab, we specialize in Retractable Banners, which are designed to pull-up and retract easily and neatly, ensuring quick set-up and takedown. When you purchase a retractable banner from us, it comes with a convenient storage kit, making transportation and storage a breeze.

4. Review printing techniques and quality
The printing process can affect the final look of your banner. Fabric banners are typically printed using dye-sublimation, which results in vibrant, long-lasting colors. Vinyl banners are usually digitally printed, offering high-resolution images and crisp text. Ensure the printing quality meets your brand’s standards.
5. Partner with a trusted vendor
Choosing a reputable vendor is essential for getting high-quality banners that meet your needs. At CustomBannerLab, we are all about quality and customer satisfaction. We can guide you through the selection process, ensuring you get the best material and design for your custom banner.
What type of material do you use at CustomBannerLab?
We use a matte finish smooth texture vinyl for all of your banner displays. Vinyl material is considered the industry standard material for all retractable banner displays and takes beautiful full-color images. It is also waterproof, UV resistant, and anti-glare. Here’s our selection of vinyl and fabric banners:
- Retractable Banners: we use a matte finish 13 oz vinyl banner
- Pros: no glare, smooth finish, long-lasting, beautiful printing, will not rip or tear, perfect for rolling up in banner stands
- Cons: none
- Hanging Grommeted Custom Banners
- Pros: Inexpensive, durable
- Cons: Cannot fold them, must roll them up; they wrinkle very easily; they start to look used very quickly
While traditional hanging banners are made of vinyl materials, at CustomBannerLab, we use a Due Sublimated Indoor/Outdoor Polyester Fabric for our hanging banners.
- Pros: Matte finish, no glare, can fold for easy travel, can iron and wash, beautiful color printing, durable, does not kink or have permanent wrinkles like vinyl banner material.
- Cons: A little more expensive than vinyl
