Do the banners you use have a nylon mesh in them or are they only PVC? Also, have you explored the possibility of using compression molding with several banners to make a sheet? Thank you Hi

If you had a source of used banners they would be extremely useful for temporary waterproof roofing. If so would be great to here from you. Hello Gill

Imagine getting your banner this year, and because it’s on high quality vinyl with heavy-duty grommets for hanging, you’ll still be using it years from now. You’d be crazy to get your banner printed on anything but vinyl! Vinyl banners are just too sweet to pass by.

Sadly, there is a minimum quantity of two tonnes - but if Councils got together to collect it and delivered to our factory in Tenbury Wells we will recycle it for only a little more money than it costs to landfill it.

Sewn, double thick, make into bags for laundry, trash, etc. Sew into a large square or circle, fill with layers of newspaper, for a weatherproof outdoor cushion/ground seat. Cut into strips, no more than 2 inches wide, weave into placemats, back with sold piece. Stylish for outdoor use. Take 2, put printed sides together, paint on new messge.
