It has great outdoor durability and is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions without fading or losing vibrancy. At 5 oz, it offers similar tear strength to many 13 ounce scrim vinyl products, while the lighter weight makes shipping and disposal less expensive. Available in widths up to 104".
Longevity of 5-20 years indoors, 6 mo. - 1 year outdoors.
Favorite Features
It's eco-friendly, it's PVC-free and recyclable. It has good tear strength for a non-scrim vinyl. It's our least expensive eco-friendly banner option.
Drawbacks
It has a very pronounced texture. It's not as strong as scrim vinyl. It's not opaque. It's not flame resistant.
Best Applications
It's great for short term outdoor banners. It can last for quite a while if installed and maintained properly, but it's most popular for event signage and other uses that don't last more than a few months.
