These add-ons can help you securely attach mesh banners to construction fences, tent poles and more. (Pro tip: Make sure you pull your banner taut to avoid damage in windy conditions.)

Keep it simple. Start with one main message,  and then make it big. This keeps your audience – street traffic, event attendees or someone else – from getting overwhelmed or confused. You’ll be able to give them more information when they come over to say hello.

Vistaprint offers a variety of customizable banners. Check out each option below.

Q: What are mesh banners made of?
A: We use PVC-coated 9.59-oz. polyester thread to create a 70-30 mesh weave. This means that 70% of the banner’s surface area is covered with material. The remaining 30% is made up of small holes that let the wind pass through.

Q: How long will my custom mesh banners last?
A: About 2 years on average. Please note a banner’s lifespan can vary based on how often you display it in direct sunlight, how often it’s used in the rain and whether it’s properly hung.

Q: Can I print on both sides of my banner?
A: No. We only offer 1-sided printing right now.

Q: I have a design that includes a lot of fine detail. How will it print on mesh?
A: While the mesh weave is great for windy conditions, the 70-30 weave means that color looks slightly less vibrant, and fine details may not be visible. A better match may be our vinyl banners – we’d recommend our 15-oz. outdoor vinyl option, with grommets and reinforced edges added for extra durability.Q: Are grommets included on my banner? How big are they and what are they made of?
A: Yes. These mesh signs come with included metal grommets, each a half inch (0.5”) in diameter.

Q: How many grommets come with my banner and where are they placed?
A: Metal grommets are placed along the top and bottom of mesh banners, about two feet apart. (Please note that you cannot request changes to the number or placement of grommets.)

The number of grommets varies by banner size. If your banner is sized:

• 1.7’ x 3’, 2.5’ x 4’, 4’ x 4’ or 1’ x 2’:  4 grommets
• 2.5’ x 6’ or 4’ x 6’: 6 grommets
• 2.5’ x 8’: 8 grommets
• 2.5’ x 10’ or 4’ x 8’: 12 grommets
• 2.5” x 12’ or 4’ x 10’: 14 grommets
• 6’ x 10’ or 4’ x 12’: 16 grommets
• 8’ x 10’ or 6’ x 12’: 18 grommets
• 8’ x 12’: 20 grommets

Q: Do mesh banners have seams?
A: Yes. The banner is made of one piece of fabric, so we fold over the edge and add in a stitched hem to reinforce the edges. This helps keep mesh signs looking crisp and polished after many uses.

Q: How much will my mesh banner weigh?
A: The weight of your vinyl banner will vary by size. Here are a few examples:

• 1.7’ x 3’: About 1 lb
• 2.5’ x 6’: About 2 lbs
• 8’ x 10’: About 8 lbs

Q: Q: Can I order a custom size?
A: No – but given our wide arrange of sizes, there’s a very good chance that we have existing options that will match your needs.

Q: Are mesh banners flame-retardant?
A: Yes. The banner weave is NRPA701-certified.

Q: How quickly can I get my banner? What shipping options are available?
A: At checkout, you’ll be able to choose from the following shipping options: 3, 5 or 8 business days.
