i need some advice with an exhibition sign please?
I need some advice on the best material to use for an exhibition "Banner".
This will be hanging on rigging above a stand. It would need to be weighted with a matt finish such as a fabric. It needs to be black, double sided with white lettering. Length 5m Width 1.25m. It would also need eyelets on top for the two dropwires.
I was thinking of using a standard black nylon reinfoced banner lettered on both sides with cut vinyl lettering, but I’m not sure if there would be a better alternative material to use?

Phil,
I have done these before using double sidded blockout material, i had to supply the ones i did with a bar fixed in the top and the bottom as the wires where vertical so no means of tension.
Regards
Russell.

As Russell has said, a bar at the top you will need for support. Also worth sowing a 50mm pocket in the base and putting a support there to so it hangs properly and give a little extra weight
