Picking the Right Sign
When choosing the proper sign for any business application, personal situation or event announcement, we should start our help by clarifying the different types of sign printing materials there are including the application of how varieties of sign hardware can play a vital role in the final finished display.
All signage materials, also known as substrates in the printing industry, will fall into either the flexible or rigid signage category.
Flexible Signs
Flexible signage consist of signs that can easily bend or flex and are optimally made from a variety of vinyl substrates. The reason for using vinyl in the construction of a flexible sign is due to the tremendous durability vinyl provides making this sign product perfect for both indoor and outdoor signage applications.
Flexible Vinyl Banners
eSigns is proud to offer one of the largest varieties of flexible signs in the sign printing industry starting with our most popular flexible product, our vinyl banners.
There are definite differences in the vinyl materials and the finishing options we use when printing the variety of banners eSigns offers. To better communicate the variety of materials and associated finishing of each of the banner types, eSigns has provided the below resourced to help better educate our customers in order to make a more informed decision on selecting the right banner.
Standard 13oz Vinyl Banners - Our most popular seller! By far our most popular and durable yet versatile vinyl banner we sell. They are digitally printed using full color process CMYK UV Ink at 600dpi on 13oz weighted 500x500 Denier strength PVC. The reason we prefer this material for use in our most versatile banner we sell is a result of years of banner printing experience.
Using a 13 ounce weighted vinyl substrate with denier strength of 500x500 is our most popular seller, because this banner is the most economical selection a printer can offer with just the right amount of strength combined with ease of handling and a tremendous flexibility for both indoor or outdoor displays.
