Two of the most common visual elements used for promotional and marketing purposes are banners and flags. But, due to the many different styles available, it can get confusing trying to order banners and flags in Westchester County NY. Each type has a purpose that it is most suited for. In today’s blog, we will go over some of the most popular types of banners and flags to help you decide what is best for your needs.
Mesh Banners
These banners are semi-transparent since they consist of many small holes to allow strong winds through without damaging your graphics. You most commonly find these markers used as wraps in development areas or on construction site fences.
Pull-Up Banners
The most portable and versatile type of banner is the pull-up banner. They work great in convention centers, offices, and other indoor areas. You can fold it up and put it back in its case once you are done using it.
Fabric Banners
Fabric banners are used as curtains, window displays, tablecloths, or exhibit backdrops. Based on your budget and goals, you can usually pick what type of fabric is used. For instance, if you need something shinier and lighter, consider using pennant satin.
Hanging Banners
This is the classic banner you see hanging at sports events with sponsors names, at grand openings, to promote big events, and on the façade of buildings. They are generally rectangular in shape and can hang horizontally or vertically.
Feather Flags
Like most of our flags, feather flags are mounted on a vertical pole and look like a feather. They are usually made of nylon or polyester. We do double-sided printing, so your message is visible from all directions.
Teardrop Banner Flags
Teardrop banner flags grab the attention of consumers by moving with the wind. These graphics are easy to transport and install, so you can increase your visibility in front of your business or at special events.
Blade Banners
Aside from being slightly taller, having a wave-like cut at the bottom of the banner, and a different shape, the blade banner is quite similar to the teardrop and feather banners. Blade banners are commonly used for point of purchase advertising, fairs, roadside displays, and more.
Retractable Banner Stands
Retractable banner stands consist of a custom printed vinyl banner attached to a retractable banner set. The banner is incredibly easy to set up. You just pull it up from the bottom cassette and hook it in place. When you’re done, you just unhook it and retract it back into the base.
Backdrop Banners
These are large banners used as backdrops for press conferences, special events, stages, and red carpet events.
