Has your banner ever looked like this? Banners are not made to withstand harsh weather or heavy wind. But there are some things you can do or have your sign company do that can help make your banner stronger, but remember, wind is your banner's worst enemy.
You can reinforce the corners of the banner by having the material at the corners doubled up. You can also reinforce the hem by having nylon webbing sewn into it. You can reduce the stress of the wind by cutting curved half circle slits, like smiles, in the fabric. Too many cut smiles though, may weaken the banner material, so only a few cuts would be best.
One other tip regarding storage of your banner for the times when your banner is displayed intermittently. Always roll the banner, never fold it. Folding causes creases in the fabric that can make it unsightly.
We at Signs On Time do not charge for cutting wind smiles and reinforcing the hems and corners are just a nominal cost compared to the cost of the entire banner.
