    651 is listed as being suitable for banners, i have used it for several with no problems at all.

    HI Guys,

    Hugh , If where you are buying it from is saying its suitable from banners they are mis-leading you , 451 series is the banner grade product.
    If you use 651 and roll the banner up then un-roll it there is every chance you will get “fluting” where the vinyl has stretched and wont shrink back , good if its on a vehicle but not on a banner.

    Hope that helps

    Same here.
    I have polybanners 5 years old with 651 on them for our soccer team.
    Every year I have to do date changes on the damn things.
    I keep hoping they’ll fail because I am sick of them!
    I always tell the folks to roll the banners graphics-side out.
    They have come back folded, crumpled, rolled backwards.
    Still the vinyl sticks.
    These are up for about 6 weeks at a time, then taken down and stored God knows where for almost a year.
    Aren’t banners for short-term usage anyway?
    Love….Jill

    Hi Hugh/Gill,

    Glad you haven’t had any problems with 651 but 451 is not much more expensive and will stretch and shrink with the PVC banner once its applied properly. Its just a recommendation.

    All the best
