Vinyl banners are the most popular ones. They are made of polyester (scrim) and vinyl. While the polyester adds strength to the poster, the vinyl holds the image printed on the banner.

The material is measured in ounces, based on a square yard of material. Vinyl has from 8 oz per square foot up to 22 oz weight. The weight is chosen, taking into account the location it will be used at. Thus, the heavier material is used for windy places and when the banner is attached to the wall, the lighter one can be used.

The standard types of vinyl are 10, 13 and 14 oz. The 10 oz material is used for indoor banners printing. It’s not very durable and is good if the short term promotion is needed. The 13 oz value vinyl is tear resistant and can be used indoors and outdoors if there are no extreme weather conditions. The 14 oz vinyl is good for outdoor presentations. It’s strong, heavy and delivers the image brilliantly.

The vinyl may have different kinds of smoothness. The prints are available in glossy and matte finishes. The matte banner has the textured finish, which does not glare under lighting. And the glossy one is just the opposite. It has a smooth surface and glares heavily if it’s exposed to light.

The matte finish is more popular among vinyl banners buyers as it doesn’t look “too plastic” like the glossy one. Moreover, it looks better if it’s well-lit. However, matte banners get dirty quicker while the glossy prints don’t allow dust to penetrate.
