Mesh PVC banners feature small perforations that allow air to pass through the material rather than trapping it. PVC Mesh banners are ideally suited for use in exposed outdoor spaces where there is a higher risk of wind damage. In particular, mesh banners are popular for use on fences, railings and other locations where the banner is not mounted to a solid surface. Mesh PVC Banners can be printed at almost any size and can be finished with seams and eyelets for hanging or pockets for poles depending on your requirements.
Ultra High-Quality Mesh Banners
Mesh banners are printed using our industrial EFI UV printer that enables stunning colour output at 1080 dpi resolution. The UV printing process works by printing liquid ink to the mesh PVC banner material which is cured instantly with UV light.
UV printing of mesh banners provides a very durable finish that is hard-wearing for extended-term outdoor use. Our mesh banners can last years without noticeably fading and of course, they are waterproof too.
From an environmental perspective, UV printing does not utilise damaging solvents (VOCs), making it a more environmentally friendly production process when compared to some other methods of printing.
We can deliver parcels of up to 2450mm wide within our normal delivery costs. Any items exceeding this size will incur an additional charge of £60 ex VAT.

Mesh Banner Material
Mesh banner material is made by coating a polyester yarn with PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). The finished mesh banner material is very strong, resistant to tearing and ideally suited for outdoor use.
Mesh banner material varies in quality depending on the density of the perforation and overall weight. Low-quality mesh banner tends to feature a very open weave to reduce the amount of material in the product and to cut costs. The downside of such cheap mesh banners is that a large amount of relative perforation lowers the opacity of the design that is printed onto it (because the banner becomes more see-through).
We use a 380gsm mesh banner with a close weave that allows a 40% airflow. We find that this weight of product offers the best compromise, allowing air to diffuse through the material whilst providing good opacity so printed banners are as vibrant and easy to view as possible.
Our mesh banner has a class B1 fire rating making it suitable for use in all public spaces.
Mesh Banner Welding
Mesh banners are most commonly finished with a seam around the edge to add strength.
We use a heat-welding process that involves heating the material and running it between pressurised rollers to 'fuse' the two layers together. This is by far the strongest method of finishing the edge of a mesh banner and it is something we offer at no additional cost. Of course, if you would prefer your banner to be finished without a seam then that is no problem at all.
We can also finish the mesh banner with pockets at the top and bottom should you wish to insert rods to hang it. Just let us know how large you would like the pockets to be after ordering and we will take care of the rest.
Mesh Banner Eyelets
If you have your mesh banner finished with a welded edge seam then we will insert eyelets around the perimeter so you can hang it.
Eyelets are normally positioned at intervals of approximately 500mm around the edge of the banner but we can place them at different positions should you wish.
We use heavy-duty silver nickel eyelets as standard and they are applied with a hydraulic press to ensure they are as strong and secure as possible.
Banners that are supplied with pockets for hanging do not come with eyelets but if you have a specific finishing request, do get in touch and we will be happy to help.

Mesh Banner Alternatives
Mesh banners are an extremely popular material for the production of banners to be used in exposed conditions but we have other alternative products that you could consider too.
These include:
PVC-Free Mesh Banners - this is a completely recyclable, eco-friendly banner material with similar properties to conventional PVC. Made from polyester, PVC-Free Mesh Banners can be widely recycled.
Aero Mesh Fabric Banners - Aero mesh banners are printed onto a polyester fabric material rather than being a plasticised product. They are very light and can also be folded up for convenient storage when compared to a traditional mesh banner that would need to be rolled. heck our fabric aero mesh banner material under the fabric materials
Conventional PVC Banners - mesh is a great product for use in exposed and windy conditions but for many situations, a mesh banner might not be necessary and a regular solid PVC banner could be suitable. We have two grades of conventional PVC banners and PVC-free banner material too.
Remember, our team are always happy to offer advice so feel free to get in touch if you need help choosing the best material for your banner.
