Matte Vinyl Banners

13oz matte vinyl banners — the same heavy scrim vinyl without the shine, so your message stays readable under stage lights and camera flash. Full color in 74 sizes, with hemming and grommet options to match how you hang it. Next-business-day production available.

• 13oz scrim vinyl — tough, tear-resistant, weatherproof
• Matte surface — no glare, no hot spots, photographs cleanly
• 74 sizes from small directional banners to full building spans
• Hemming and grommets configured for your mounting method
• Next-business-day production available

Choose your hemming

• None — cheapest; suitable for a one-off indoor hang.
• Top and bottom — reinforces the load-bearing edges of a wall-mounted banner.
• Right and left — for banners stretched between vertical posts.
• 2 shortest sides or 2 longest sides — the same reinforcement described by proportion, handy on near-square banners.
• All 4 sides — recommended for any outdoor banner. A folded, welded edge is what stops a small tear becoming a destroyed banner.

Choose your grommet spacing

• None — for pole pockets and tension frames.
• Top 2 corners — simple indoor hanging.
• All 4 corners — the outdoor minimum.
• Every 2–3 feet on top and bottom — the standard for wall and fence mounting.
• Every 2–3 feet on sides — for vertical lacing between posts.
• Every 2–3 feet all around — for large, exposed installations.

Why matte is the professional's default indoors

Anywhere there are lights, there is glare, and glare is the enemy of a banner that people photograph. Step-and-repeat backdrops, conference stages, media walls, product launches and church or school stages are all matte for the same reason: a gloss banner under a spotlight produces a white blowout exactly where the logo is. Matte vinyl scatters that light so the surface reads evenly on camera and to the eye.

Matte also suits text-heavy banners read at close range, since there is no reflection to fight while reading. For maximum outdoor color impact at distance, glossy vinyl banners hit harder.

Getting a professional hang

Tension from every grommet, not just the corners. Use bungee ties so wind gusts stretch rather than tear. For a step-and-repeat, keep the logo grid spacing tight enough that at least two full logos appear behind a person's head and shoulders in a portrait crop, and keep the pattern at least 6" clear of the banner edges. Build files at 100 DPI at final size in CMYK with 0.125" bleed and 2" of safe margin.
