13oz vs 18oz: which vinyl do you actually need?
13oz scrim vinyl is the default for ~80% of banner jobs: indoor signage, trade show booths, short-term outdoor (under 6 months), event banners, sponsor banners. It prints sharp, weighs little, and ships rolled. 18oz is for high-wind outdoor, multi-year exterior signage, and fence-mounted banners that take a beating from the desert sun. Spec 18oz when the banner will see direct sun for a year-plus or wind speeds above 25 mph. Otherwise 13oz saves money and prints just as sharp.
