Try to use rolled or low-pressure folds when creating pockets and hems as heavy creasing can crack and flake the inkjet coating. Grommets can be installed along the length of a banner through the hem so that they are through two layers of material. For added reinforcement, place corner grommets where the hems cross so that the grommets go through four layers. Use banner tape for extra reinforcement where grommets are placed if hems or pockets are not used. Use crescent shaped slits with a round punchhole or added stitch at each end of the slit to prevent further tearing during use.
Durability is based primarily on image stability.
Actual lifetimes may be shorter, depending on robustness of base material. Excessive handling, environmental conditions, and wear and tear will all impact usable lifetime. Figures are based on image stability and base durability. Images made with pigmented inks may last longer than indicated, however, the durability statement takes into account the robustness of the base material. Excessive handling, environmental conditions, and wear and tear will all impact usable lifetime.
