FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between Economy and Premium Fabric Banners?

  The Economy Fabric Banner is a 120gsm polyester material with a gloss sheen. As it is a thinner material it has some transparency which allows better ink bleed through, so the print will be seen in reverse on the other side. The Premium Fabric Banner is a 250gsm polyester material with a matte finish. It is a thicker material with minimal transparency so it has very little ink bleed through. Both materials are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, however we recommend the Premium material for indoor use because of the matte finish and lack of transparency which reduces lighting glare and provides better indoor photographic results.

• Will the Premium Fabric Banner last longer than the Economy?

  All of our Fabric Banners are produced using dye sublimation printing to ensure rich, high-quality colour.

  When used indoors, these prints endure indefinitely. For outdoor applications, dye sublimation prints naturally fade over time depending on UV exposure typically lasting between 6 and 12 months, or under 3 months in severe outdoor environments.

  Polyester banners share this same expected lifespan.

  Across our range, all banners provide comparable durability. Regarding our eco-conscious CiCLO® Biodegradable Fabric, biodegradation relies on sustained exposure to moisture and microbial activity; as a result, the fabric will not break down during routine handling, cleaning, or storage.

• What is CiCLO® fabric and why choose it?

  CiCLO® fabric is our premium 250gsm SignWeave™ with a twist — it’s engineered to break down naturally after disposal, so you get all the same great quality with a smaller environmental footprint. Printed right here in Australia, it looks, feels and performs just like our premium SignWeave™ fabric — same vibrant colour, sharp print and crease resistance — just kinder to the planet.

• Do you print double sided Fabric Banners?

  We are sorry but we do not manufacture double sided Fabric Banners. It is possible to use 2 of the Premium Fabric Banners back to back, although there could be some bleed through of colour from one banner to the other (as this material is not a blockout material). The Economy Fabric Banners are much more transparent so are not suitable for this purpose.

• How big can you make a Fabric Banner?

  The maximum size we can manufacture in one piece is 2700mm H x 10,000mm W (this is reduced to 2600mm H if supplied with 100mm rod pockets on top and bottom).

• What size are the Rod Pockets on my Fabric Banner?

  We offer 3 sizes of Rod Pockets to fit 20mm, 50mm and 100mm Diameter Rods:

  20mm Diameter Rod - 35mm Lay Flat Rod Pocket

  50mm Diameter Rod - 85mm Lay Flat Rod Pocket

  100mm Diameter Rod - 160mm Lay Flat Rod Pocket

• What rod size should I use for my Fabric Banners?

  You will need to consider your individual circumstances to work out the most suitable rod size as we do not supply any rods. We can advise that the most common size used by our customers is 19mm diameter dowel which is readily available from stores such as Bunnings.

• How can I remove any creases from the polyester fabric?

  We recommend that you use a steamer to remove any creases from the polyester fabric. It’s also possible to use a warm iron, but it is important that you use an ironing cloth so that the iron does not make contact with the fabric.

• How many Eyelets will my Fabric Banner have?
  If eyelets are selected as a finishing option, you can then choose the eyelet configuration from 7 options. Eyelets will be placed according to your choice on the drop down menu.

• How large is the velcro hook strip?

  The velcro hook strip is 50mm wide.

• Will the stainless steel eyelets rip out of the Fabric Banner?

  The Fabric Banners are sewn around the perimeter with 3 layers of the material to provide extra strength for the eyelets. The eyelets should not rip through these 3 layers when the banners are used in normal weather conditions. It should be noted that no banners should be left outdoors during extreme weather conditions.

• How accurate will the finished size of our Fabric Banners be?

  Due to our Banners being sewn/hemmed by hand, there is a 2-3% variance in the size of what is ordered.

• I have multiple designs, are there extra setup fees?
  Yes, our price includes the set up cost for 1 design only. If you have multiple designs for the same size you will still get the lower bulk price, however there is a small multiple artwork charge applied for each additional design to cover our extra set up costs. Simply enter the total number of signs required and then the total number of designs into the pricing calculator above - and it will work out an accurate price for you.

Our new premium 250gsm SignWeave™ Biodegradable Fabric features CiCLO® Technology. It is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified and helps polyester break down naturally instead of sitting in landfills or oceans for decades.

And while our inks aren't biodegradable on their own, they're water-based, so they break down right along with the fabric.
