PVC Banner material
Our most popular product is the 440gsm PVC banner and we also have 510gsm and Mesh banner available. If you are new to PVC banner making then i would suggest that you look at the bundles that are on offer, you can see these further down the page.
Banner hemming tape
There are two types of tapes available. Both are good options and so it's only a matter of preference.
Double sided PET tape - is 24mm x 50m, it's has a high tack acrylic adhesive and its very strong, when it comes to hemming banners you can definitely rely on it. And it is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. When hand cutting PVC banner, it can help hide any issues with the cutlines. Something that is easily done when you are producing big PVC banners. to see more about this product click here
Edge-It Tape
Another great option for a banner hemming tape, it is quick to use and also provides you with a strong hem. It's single sided reinforced tape, strong, flexible, suitable for indoor and outdoor use. When using this product, you cut to the artwork and simply apply it to the back edges of your PVC banner which will reduce production time over the double sided tape option above. As you cut to close to the artwork, you need to ensure your cutting it high quality. To see more about this product click here
Eyelet Press
An eyelet press is a handheld tool that enables you to effortlessly add eyelets to your banners. These eyelets provide a secure way for your customers to hang their banners on fences and more. At Signmaster, we pride ourselves on offering only the highest quality products that we would use ourselves. Rest assured, each item is rigorously tested and approved.
We have two presses available, an introduction level press HPX1 which is produced in the UK and a more robust one the H-901 which would be used day in day out. Both a good quality products and in our opinion priced fairly for what they offer. Our start up bundles offer the HPX1, which is more than suitable for what you need at this point keeping the set up cost down.
Eyelets
The eyelets make the holes in the PVC banner strong and more durable - without them the material would rip and become damaged. We sell self piercing brass eyelets which are available in 9mm and 11mm sizes. we sell the brass eyelets due to their strength and sustainability. You simply, pop the eyelets into the press, line up the banner material and pull down the handle. you can see this in action on our 'how to make a PVC banner' video below.
Knife
There are many knives available on our website but our favourite for hand cutting PVC banner material is the Olfa SVR - 1. The OLFA SVR1 - 9mm Stainless steel Blade is ideal for professional sign makers. Made with a durable stainless steel body, it allows for precise cutting. It makes easy work trimming fine detailed and cutting to size, perfect for cutting PVC banners. It's lightweight and thin and the blade is adjustable making it easier to control and to glide against any rulers. To read more about this product click here
Ruler
The trimaro range will have what you need whether that's a hand held ruler ( we would recommend a 1.5 mtr ruler) this is a great size to start with when hand cutting, it's long enough to be quick but small enough to ensure you have enough control. They are designed for sign makers, so have silicone grips on the bottom to prevent slippage when cutting. To read more about the range click here
