Sale-Header Storefront Banner — made to your size in a choice of 2 fabrics, from 115gsm to 185gsm.
Promotional banners are the everyday workhorse — short campaigns, quick turnarounds, and a need to look sharp for as long as the offer runs and no longer.
This product is offered across more than one fabric because the right answer depends on where the panel is going and how long it needs to last. The table below sets every option side by side on the specifications that actually decide the choice — weight, opacity, finish and weather behaviour — so you can compare them directly rather than opening a page for each one.
Best for
- Storefront and sale-header banners
- Hanging ceiling banners
- Retail promotional walls
- Sidewalk and A-frame inserts
- Feather and forecourt promo flags

Which fabric should you choose?
- 115gsm Knit — The all-rounder of the range — light enough to move, dense enough to hold a photographic print.
- 300D FR (B1) — The outdoor workhorse — a dense basket weave that takes weather, handling and tension in its stride.
Key advantages
- One product, 2 fabric specifications — compare and choose without leaving the page
- Dye is absorbed into the fibre, so the printed image cannot crack, flake or peel away from the surface
- Folds down small and shakes out with very few creases — practical for teams who ship and re-hang often
- Open knit structure lets air pass through, so the panel moves in a breeze instead of fighting it
- Soft matte surface diffuses light and photographs cleanly under flash and continuous lighting
Choosing the right specification
Buy for the campaign, not for the decade. If the offer runs six weeks, a light knit does the job at the lowest cost and stores flat for reuse next season. Save the coated wovens for anything going up permanently. If you rotate messaging often, consider a frame system with interchangeable fabric skins — the frame is the capital cost, the graphics are cheap.
How ordering works
- Send your artwork — Upload print-ready artwork at any stage — we check scale, resolution and bleed before anything goes to press and come back to you if something needs adjusting.
- Made to your size — Every panel is cut and finished to your dimensions. Tell us the finished size you need and how it is being fixed, and we will allow for hems and fixings correctly.
- Printed by dye-sublimation — Colour is transferred into the polyester fibre under heat, so the image becomes part of the cloth rather than a layer sitting on top of it.
- Finished and shipped — Hems, eyelets, pole pockets, silicone edge and other finishing are applied before your order is folded, boxed and dispatched worldwide.

Technical detail
How dye-sublimation colour behaves. Disperse dyes are driven into a gas phase at roughly 190-205 °C and diffuse into the polyester filament, where they are trapped as the polymer cools. Because there is no layer sitting on the surface, the printed image cannot crack, flake or peel. Colour is also wash-stable: disperse dyes on polyester routinely rate 4-5 on the ISO 105-C06 wash-fastness scale. Indoors and away from sustained ultraviolet, printed polyester holds its appearance for five years or more.
What to expect from service life. Indoors and out of direct sun, printed polyester holds its appearance for five years or more. Outdoors, published ranges for dye-sublimated polyester run from roughly six to twenty-four months depending on how exposed the position is, with the shorter end applying in high-ultraviolet regions such as the Southwest, Florida and the Gulf Coast, and in coastal or high-wind locations. Sheltered and north-facing installations reach the longer end. Coated and tarpaulin-grade constructions extend beyond that band because the coating carries the UV load.
Best suited to
Indoor and sheltered outdoor work where you want a light panel that moves with the air — flags, backdrops, promotional banners and anything that ships folded and re-hangs quickly.
