MADE TO
Short answer: use flex banner for most outdoor signs, mesh where wind is strong, fabric for indoor events and photo backdrops, and a roll-up when you need a banner you can carry and set up in a minute.

- 3 × 2 ft and 4 × 2 ft for shop doors and counters
- 6 × 3 ft and 8 × 4 ft for shopfronts and events

Finishing
- Hemmed edges and eyelets let you tie or hang the banner. Ask for more eyelets in windy places.
- Pole pockets suit banners that slide onto a pole.
- Reinforced corners help a banner last longer outdoors.
Design tips

- Put the phone number or website where it is easy to see.
- Keep important text away from the edges, which are hemmed.
