Grommeting |
Grommets should be placed in the hemline along the length of the banner so that the grommet is through two layers. Corner grommets should be placed where the length and width hems cross, so that the grommet is through four layers. A reinforced corner is also recommended to increase durability. |
Tape & Stitched Hem |
Banner tape can be used and is preferred to sewing. If sewing, a double-stitched hem is recommended with a maximum of five stitches per inch. Banner tapes at least 4-mils thick perform the best. For more information see LexJet's Banner Tape. |
Finishing/Post Process |
Always use pressure-sensitive laminates (LexJet Elite UV vinyl is recommended). Hand applying the laminate is not recommended. Before applying the laminate, allow the image to dry for at least 2 hours. A 24 hour dry time is ideal. |
