Whether you’re throwing an office party, celebrating a graduation, or holding an important church event, cheap banners are a perfect choice. They can be made from a couple different materials, used indoor or outdoors, can be single-sided or double-sided, and more. Let’s start by delivering information you should know about cheap banners, and the pros and cons regarding their usage.
Pro: their affordability is much less than the purchase of a more rigid sign, like ones made of aluminum or wood.
Con: they don’t have the lasting factor of a more permanent sign.
Pro: because they are much less expensive, you can change out your messaging about a promotion or sale without breaking the bank at all.
Con: they can be affected by weather conditions, where a more sturdy sign is more tenacious to unforeseen factors.
Cheap Banner Materials and Uses:
Most of our banners are truly made from a vinyl material, yet we do even offer something special in canvas. For this article, we’ll stick with the different types of vinyl banners, and what they work brilliantly for. They are:
- Standard vinyl banners
- Mesh banners
- Retractable banners
- Step & Repeat banners
- Double-Sided banners
Our standard banner material is a 13oz vinyl. Don’t let the word cheap give you the impression that quality is lacking. In fact, the vinyl banners we produce will last up to three years outside with the proper care. They are great for birthdays, military personnel reunions, and more.
A note about them in windy conditions. Because of their solid makeup, they do have a susceptibility to act like a sail. If you want to guarantee they remain intact, we recommend that you add wind slits that will allow for air to pass through. As for indoor usage, vinyl banners can hang for five years or longer if you take care of them the right way (which is minimal care, FYI).
Moving to mesh now, and for clarity, these cheap banners are a lot like our standard vinyl. The big difference is that mesh banners are made with tiny perforations throughout.
It’s similar to a screen door, in that all those many small holes in it permit air to pass through. This quality in mesh banners makes them the prime choice for outdoor use.
Retractable banners are so practical for those who travel to trade shows, conventions, and conferences. And they are really light on the wallet.
They are extremely light, and, yes, retract when you’re done using them into a case that is so small and easy to tote, it will fit perfectly in a plane’s overheard storage bin. As an added bonus to you, we give you the case free of charge.
Step & Repeat banners are the ultimate in fun times and memory-making. Among the many events they can be used to create a lasting impression via a picture:
- Birthday parties
- Wedding receptions
- School reunions
- Awards events
- Corporate office shindigs
While those uses are for merriment and memories, Step & Repeat banners can really ramp up the number of business clients and sales when put in play at trade shows, conventions, and more.
Double-sided banners are precisely what they sound like. Think about rolling out one of those at a conference. While a single-sided banner is a solid play, a double-sided banner lets you broadcast your message for potential customers walking in either direction.
Double the traffic means twice the plausible sales. They are thicker and stronger, smooth, yet resilient. Because of its more heavy-duty vinyl, it safeguards that people won’t see the opposite side’s print, and subsequently, each message is crisp, clean, and independent of the other.
The title of this article suggests that our banners are cheap, lacking quality material and the fortitude to last for a long time. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you replace the word “inexpensive” for “cheap,” that should change your perception. We use uber-high-quality materials and machines. And our production staff is top-notch. Many of them have been with Good Guys Signs since we opened our doors over a decade ago. When you decide on a banner purchase, reach out to us at (800) 614-8040 or head to www.goodguyssigns.com.
