The Advantage of Using Fabric Banners Over Other Materials

When one hears the word fabric, their first thought is most likely something about clothing or upholstery. Although this is a true use of fabric, most of the newest digital textile equipment is used to post images and graphics on signs and banners. Fabric banners have a couple of very distinct advantages over other materials, and the aesthetic is overall more pleasing. Here are a couple reasons why fabric banners are considered advantageous over other materials.

Fabric displays have the advantage of wash-ability, durability, and are very light weight. This makes the product easy to store and even easier to transport. They offer a number of benefits to the user, completely eliminating the possibility of a glare or scratched finish ruining the overall aesthetic of the banner. While on the subject of aesthetics, the ink on the fabric is permanently bonded to the polyester fibers. This gives the photographic images a more realistic form because the colors are not printed on as individual dots (like inkjet printers). The sharper and overall brighter image is a direct advantage of using a fabric banner.

Signarama fabric graphics have the benefit of being more durable, lightweight, and versatile than other outlets for fabric banners. These are signs that can be stored easily, reused daily, and even machine-washed and dry-cleaned. Not to mention one of the biggest advantages of using a fabric banner, safety. The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) has certain regulatory codes for the use of fabric structures at trade shows and conventions. Buying a fabric banner from Signarama ensures that these regulations and fabric type are made from flame retardant materials.

It is known there are many concerns about the performance of printed fabric: easy to tear, easy to fade from the material, etc. As mentioned above, aesthetics are the most important part of a sign, and in many cases, the requirements of look, feel and performance on fabric are not considered up to par. These concerns are true, mostly because the right combination of digitally printable fabric is not in existence yet. Development efforts are underway that focus on making fabric presentable by treating it before printing any ink on it. However, you can be assured that Signarama fabric is top of the line.

All in all, using fabric banners will bring a distinct advantage to your business for a number of reasons. Being able to reuse, machine wash, and easily transport are just a few. When you’re deciding the next form of easy to use, cost-effective advertising, look no further than high-quality fabric banners!
