The weight of your banner will vary with size and type. Below I’ve outlined the different kinds of vinyl we carry:
13 oz. Vinyl
- These banners weigh 13 oz. per square yard.
- For a finished banner (grommets & hems) use this formula:
total surface area in feet (length x height) * 0.12 = weight in lbs - An unfinished banner will weigh slightly less.
90/10 Vinyl Mesh
- These banners weigh 10% less than 9 oz. vinyl.
- For a finished banner use this formula:
total surface area * 0.083 = weight in lbs
70/30 Vinyl Mesh
- These banners weigh 30% less than 9 oz. vinyl.
- For a finished banner use this formula:
total surface area * 0.065 = weight in lbs
30/70 Vinyl Mesh
- These banners weigh 70% less than 9 oz. vinyl.
- For a finished banner use this formula:
total surface area * 0.028 = weight in lbs
With any kind of banner, remember to add a few pounds for packaging.
