    A customer has requested some exterior banners 20ft x 4ft, for single use that only need to up for a couple of days maybe a week.

    My first thought was tyvek. Which i believe to have a 2-3 year exterior life. 😕

    But i was wondering if anyone had any other ideas??

    Regards Marty

    I use Tekton with Banner Ups from Dorotape for banners that are up over a week, and some for over 6 months. 🙁 All you need do is roll out the length you need fold back the ends about 50mm and secure with some double sided tape. Banner Ups are plastic eyelets doubled up and stuck on with very strong adhesive tape… and come complete.

    Only trouble is Tekton only comes in 38″ wide rolls. But at £66.00 per roll (£1.44p per metre) and banner Ups at £21.00 per hundred you have the makings of a 20′ Banner for less than £12 quid!

    Tekton needs fitting properly. Being quite stiff , as opposed to stretchy PVC, it’s not very forgiving if stretched and you’ll get ripples across it.

    This can also be an advantage, as can it’s light weight and very crisp whiteness. 😎

    If you need a sample pic of what one looks like in situ to show your customer I’ve got loads……. 😀
