James Birch

PVC banners are the new paper or cloth banners that have been used for years and years for businesses to get their messages across to the public...but their had limitations. 

Imagine investing your advertising budget into a wonderfully witty banner that shouted all sorts of praise about your business but it wasn’t clear or it rained…

Businesses were crying out for something that could take colour expertly, be durable, weatherproof and easy to hang...enter the PVC banner!

What are PVC banners?

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a plastic that is applied on a material. For banners you laminate polyester with PVC which gives a lovely glossy finish while strengthening the material underneath. 

PVC is a super lightweight plastic that is not only durable but affordable to produce. Because PVC banners are designed to withstand various types of weather, they can be used indoors or outdoors.
