Tarpaulin and banner

Uses of your custom banner

Customised banners can be used for many occasions and make very good communication tools as they are visible from a distance. While they are not designed to hold a lot of information, they are sufficient for announcing an event or promoting a company with contact details.

Often placed outside, a tarpaulin is specially designed to withstand the elements and climatic changes, such as micro-perforated models that also allow air and light to pass through.

Placed outdoors, customised banners can be used to announce the opening of a business, a clearance period or a change of ownership, but also to highlight a business along a busy road for example.

In the construction sector, professionals sometimes use a banner to conceal work in progress and scaffolding while promoting their construction or renovation company, for example. Finally, a banner can be used to advertise a company by being placed around a football or tennis pitch for example.

Customised banners can also be installed indoors and are often used to promote a company by being stored around sports fields or at the front of a concert stage for example. At trade shows, fairs and events, a banner can make it easier for visitors to find your stand by making it visible from a distance.

The different prints on advertising canvas

Most of the time, advertising banners are printed on one side only, as they will be installed against a wall or a fence, but it is possible to print on both sides if you wish. By using thicker paper, your visual will be perfectly visible on both sides, even if the light is directly directed towards the banner.

Here is our offer for advertising banners:

• The standard PVC tarpaulin: this represents the best value for money and allows you to advertise a company or highlight an event without breaking the bank. The fact that it is made of PVC makes it suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
• Fireproof tarpaulin: this model is recommended for installation indoors in a place open to the public, particularly during a trade fair or exhibition, as it is coated with a fireproof product which makes this tarpaulin very safe and thus prevents accidents.
• The micro-perforated sheeting Micro-perforated banner: specially designed for outdoor use, this banner has small holes that allow air and light to circulate freely. This prevents the banner from tearing in the wind and ensures that it is always visible. Of course, these holes do not damage the design of the banner.

Frequently asked questions about the advertising banner

What is the purpose of eyelets on a custom banner?

The optional eyelets, made of polycarbonate or galvanised aluminium, make it easier to hang an advertising banner. They also allow the tarpaulin to be stretched and prevent it from tearing as much as possible.

If you are installing your tarpaulin outside, it is recommended that you add eyelets every 50cm to ensure that it is windproof.

Our advice: all the weight of the tarpaulin is held at these eyelets, so choose eyelets with hems so that the tarpaulin does not tear at this point.

How long will my banner last?

Our advertising tarpaulins do not have a life span, you can use them as much as you want as long as you respect the conditions of exposure corresponding to the model you have chosen. For example, for outdoor installation, the micro-perforated tarpaulin will last longer than a standard tarpaulin because it is wind resistant.

The lifespan of your custom banner, like that of any communication medium, depends on the care you take with it, particularly with regard to storage. We therefore recommend that you store your advertising banner in a clean, dry place and always roll it up rather than fold it to avoid marks.

Some advice for the realization of your advertising calico ?

A banner is printed in a large format, often because it needs to be visible from a distance. You only have a few seconds to catch the attention of the people who will see it, especially if it is placed along a road, so you need to be clear and concise.

In this case, the name of the company and a brief indication of the shop's location or opening hours is ideal. Avoid using long sentences, the important information should be obvious to the reader.

As for the design of your advertising banner, it is important to attract attention: do not hesitate to play with the colours of the fonts and backgrounds, always making sure that the whole is perfectly readable.

Matching your banner to your company's corporate identity will also allow passers-by to associate the banner directly with your company. We also recommend that you pay special attention to the font: the text should be perfectly legible even from a distance.
