Care and Maintenance for your new Banner

Your new banner should provide years of use provided you take care of it. Below are some helpful storage and cleaning instructions to help you.

Storage:
• NEVER FOLD YOUR BANNER - this is the worst thing you can do! Folding your banner will cause sharp folds which will later be very difficult to remove. Folding the banner will cause bigger problems if the fold is over any vinyl lettering. A fold on vinyl lettering will cause the lettering to lift off the banner allowing dirt and dust onto the adhesive backing making it difficult to stick again.

• THE BEST WAY TO STORE YOUR BANNER IS FLAT - with a few nails or screws on a wall, hanging the banner of it's eyelets, or;

• YOU SHOULD ROLL YOUR BANNER if you do not have the room to store it flat. If rolling your banner, always roll with the VINYL LETTERING ON THE OUTSIDE. Do not roll it tightly, you can use a cardboard tube or any round tube (with a minimum 1 - 2" inside diameter).

Cleaning:
• Clean your banner with a NON-ABRASIVE cleaner. We recommend a gentle wash with a sponge or soft towel using warm water. (Water won't hurt, banners are waterproof).

• CHEMICAL CLEANING PRODUCTS SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
