Mesh Banners vs Vinyl Banners – What’s the Difference?
Not sure which banner type is right for your project? Here’s how mesh and vinyl banners stack up — and when to choose one over the other.
Both materials have their strengths — the key is picking the right one for the job.
At 760 Print, we stock both mesh and vinyl banner substrates in-house. We’ll help you decide based on where it’s being used, how long it needs to last, and what the weather’s doing outside.
