Why Sign Shops & Trade Businesses Choose 13oz Vinyl

13oz scrim vinyl is the most widely specified banner material in the sign industry. The "13oz" refers to the weight per square yard — heavy enough to hang flat and resist wind flutter, yet flexible enough to roll, fold, and ship easily. The scrim (woven polyester reinforcement) embedded in the vinyl provides excellent tear resistance and tensile strength, so banners hold up to grommeting, tensioning, and extended outdoor exposure without ripping at stress points.

The smooth, matte-finish front face produces sharp, high-resolution prints with vivid color saturation and strong contrast — critical for banners that need to be readable from a distance. 13oz vinyl is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, handles rain and sun without degrading, and delivers the professional quality your clients expect. For trade printers, 13oz banner is the everyday staple that drives consistent volume and repeat business.

Frequently Asked Questions – 13oz Vinyl Banners

What is 13oz scrim vinyl banner material?

13oz scrim vinyl is the industry-standard banner material used by professional sign companies. The "13oz" refers to the weight per square yard of material. Inside the vinyl is a woven polyester scrim (mesh reinforcement) that gives the banner its tear resistance and structural strength. This is the same material used for storefront banners, event signage, and outdoor displays nationwide.

How long do 13oz vinyl banners last outdoors?

13oz scrim vinyl banners are engineered for outdoor use and typically last 2–5 years in normal outdoor conditions, depending on UV exposure, wind load, and installation method. Hemmed edges and properly spaced grommets significantly extend banner life by preventing tearing at stress points. For permanent outdoor installations that need to last longer, consider our 18oz heavy-duty vinyl banners for added thickness and durability.

What is the difference between 13oz and 18oz vinyl banners?

The primary difference is weight and thickness. 13oz vinyl is the standard-weight banner material suitable for the majority of indoor and outdoor banner applications. 18oz vinyl is a heavier, thicker material with greater wind resistance and durability — better suited for long-term outdoor installations, high-wind locations, and large-format banners that experience significant tensile stress. Both are available at wholesale pricing through Print Wisconsin.

What finishing options are available for banners?

We offer several finishing options to match your client's installation requirements. Hemmed edges provide reinforced, heat-welded folds along the banner perimeter for added strength and a clean appearance. Grommet options include grommets every 1–2 feet (standard), every 6–12 inches (heavy-duty mounting), corners only (minimal hardware), or no grommets (for pole pockets, frames, or adhesive mounting). These options are selectable during the ordering process.

Can I get double-sided printing on a 13oz banner?

Double-sided printing is not available on 13oz vinyl. The 13oz material is designed for single-sided printing only. If your client needs a banner that will be viewed from both directions — such as street pole banners, hanging retail banners, or event entrance displays — our 18oz heavy-duty vinyl banner supports full double-sided printing with a blockout liner to prevent show-through. Both options are available at wholesale pricing.

Do you offer wholesale or trade pricing on vinyl banners?

Yes. Print Wisconsin is a wholesale-only print partner for sign shops, print resellers, and trade businesses. Our banner pricing is built for the trade with no retail markup. We also offer volume discounts and custom quoting for recurring banner programs, multi-location rollouts, and event packages. Request a trade quote here.

Can I order custom sizes for vinyl banners?

Absolutely. Our banners are available in fully custom dimensions. Enter your exact width and height during ordering to get exactly what your project requires. Whether you need a small 2x4 table banner or a large 4x20 building banner, we can produce any size your client needs.

How do I submit artwork for my banner order?

You can upload print-ready artwork (PDF, AI, EPS, or high-resolution image files) during the ordering process, or use our built-in online designer tool. For best results, ensure your files are set to full bleed with at least 150 DPI resolution at final print size. For very large banners (8 feet or wider), 72–100 DPI is generally acceptable since they are viewed from a distance.

Can you ship banners directly to my client?

Yes. We offer blind drop-shipping and direct-to-client fulfillment for all trade orders. Your client receives a professionally packaged product with no Print Wisconsin branding on the shipment, allowing you to maintain your own brand identity throughout the fulfillment process. Banners are rolled and tubed for safe, crease-free shipping.
