Scrim banner color gamut comparison

Color gamut comparisons: 13oz Scrim = BLACK, SWOP CMYK = red, sRGB = purple

It seems that very often banners are considered to all be the same. By far the most common material choice is 13oz scrim banner. It is economical, durable, and relatively light weight. When in doubt, this is the choice.

We don’t bother with considering ink loads or how many colors are involved when pricing. Just a simple price that depends more on dimensions, quantity, and finishing options.

The most common finishing options are simple hems with grommets according to overall size and use.

The applications and uses vary so widely that it is very hard to predict with any real certainty how long a banner will last. Most banners will last 6 months or more.

Some common uses include:

  • Step and Repeat backdrop banners
  • Durable posters that roll up easily
  • Grand Opening banners
  • Promotional banners
  • Party and event banners

  • Good Evening. Pretty cool site. I’m kind of new at this. Is this your first site? My sister is planning a similar project. I’ll pass this blog on. Will you be selling ad space? I think the method is Cost per click. Keep up the excellent work!

  • Thanks for the nice comment. It is not my first site, but it is the first time I’ve used WordPress.

    I’m certainly open to selling ad space to those that are a good fit. If you sell shirts and do screen printing, you may in fact be a good fit. Let me know what you have in mind.

  • Maybe it would be just a little better to use a more comprehensive website design for your blog. It will get you more customers and links.

  • Thanks for the post. Not sure what you mean by comprehensive. This is certainly not finished and my thought is the blog format makes it much easier to continuously add content. Plus, it makes it easy to get good feedback like yours.

  • Hello! I found your site quite by mistake and it worked out great. This is very interesting an dI will be back for more. Thanks.

  • I love reading your blog. You seem like a natural in sharing your experiences. I am starting my blog as well, do you think only natural writers can have something to share?

  • I’m far from a natural writer. But it sure is easier to write something that you’re comfortable with.
