Installing A Banner Yourself

Installing a banner yourself is not as difficult as you might think. After the purchase of a vinyl banner at a sign shop or online.  Why pay a professional to install the banner Vegas if you can do it yourself. After all, the professional installer will want as much as the banner. ( and sometimes more) So to install your newly purchased banner.

Vinyl Banner signs are generally made with a 13 ounce vinyl banner material with specially designed inks. So that allows the banner to be used both indoors and outdoors. The inks will not fade in the harsh sunlight of Las Vegas. ( if the banner is printed with indoor inks-as some disreputable places try to do to lower their ink costs) The vinyl banner colors will quickly fade with the hot summer sun. Latex and eco solvent inks are designed to last a long time in the outdoor elements.

Your vinyl banner will come with grommets that allow your Las Vegas banner to be easily hung. The preferred method of installing the vinyl banner.   Is to place it against a solid surface so that no air or wind can get between the banner and the surface. If wind gets between the banner and mounting surface, tension and pull will occur against the banner’s grommets ( which will eventually end up with a damaged banner) So this is why Vegas banners attached to fences do not last. The wind causes great tension on the banners where it is mounted to the fence by zip ties or other means. The force of the wind causes constant tension on the grommet and it is torn from the banner.

Tips For Installing A Banner Yourself

Placing a washer with a screw through the grommet is a great way to secure your banner to your mounting object. Also, make sure you leave your banner in the sun for 10 or 15 minutes.  So that it heats up so that it can be stretched when you hang it. Putting it up cold will allow the banner to sag when it heats up after it is installed.
