Unlike solid vinyl, this material includes tiny perforations woven throughout. That means air can pass through—reducing the “sail” effect when wind pushes against the surface. This structure is ideal for environments with gusts, open spaces, or fence installations. It often comes in a weight specification like “10 oz 70/30,” meaning about 70% printable area and 30% airflow. The version available at Big Media offers heavy-duty 10 oz 70/30 construction, ensuring durability while allowing air to move freely. To accommodate wide spans, seamless widths up to 16 feet are supported; beyond that, pieces are joined using heat welding or seaming techniques.
In open settings where winds gust and weather varies, your brand messages need to perform—not just look good. Mesh Banner Printing offers a vibrant display surface while allowing air to flow through, reducing the load on support structures. Big Media’s solution is making a difference across environments with this innovative method of display production.
Key Advantages
Wind Resistance & Stability
Because wind flows through the surface, pressure on mounting points is reduced. This lowers the chances of tearing, sagging, or detachment during storms or strong gusts.
Light But Strong
Even in large formats, this product remains lighter than solid alternatives. That makes it easier to carry, ship, and hang.
Vibrant Visibility
Modern imaging techniques—such as UV-curable ink and high-resolution digital presses—deliver sharp, bold graphics that appear crisp from a distance, even with perforations.
Suitable for Harsh Conditions
The construction holds up against sun exposure, rain, and temperature shifts without warping or color fade. Its breathable build also helps prevent heat from building up behind the display.
Cost Efficiency Over Time
Due to its long lifespan and reduced risk of damage, this medium offers great value for extended campaigns or recurring outdoor promotions.
Versatile Mounting Options
It supports a wide range of finishing styles, including hemmed edges, corner reinforcements, and hardware installation. Custom options like pole pockets and reinforced webbing are also common.
Best Use Cases
-
Fence wraps & construction sites: Excellent for enclosing project zones while promoting brands or sponsors.
-
Event signage & stadiums: Maintains form and clarity even in open-air environments with high foot traffic.
-
Facade wraps & building graphics: Provides a strong visual impact without adding structural stress.
-
Scaffolding covers: Supports airflow, making it a safe and practical choice for multi-story construction.
-
Long-term outdoor promotions: Durable and weather-resistant, ideal for messaging that needs to stay in place for months.
Design & Installation Tips
- Use bold graphics and large type
Fine details may become less visible from afar. Prioritize simple visuals and high contrast to maximize impact. -
Spacing of hardware matters
Use grommets or fasteners spaced evenly—typically every 24 inches—to spread out the load and prevent stress points. -
Reinforcement strategies
Add double-stitched hems, webbing, or corner patches for installs in windy or high-traffic areas. -
Double-sided graphics
This is achievable but requires careful color calibration and precise registration to look right on both sides. -
Panel alignment
For larger dimensions, ensure that image segments align well when seamed together, especially with text or logos. -
UV-safe inks & coatings
Always use fade-resistant inks to retain color vibrancy over time, particularly in sunny locations. -
Tension control
Avoid over-stretching. Allow slight slack during installation to adapt to temperature changes and wind pressure.
