Cheap Banners? No, they’re a BARGAIN!

Banner Banter

Recently someone said my banners were cheap!  I was almost offended!  The price is cheap, but our banners are a bargain.  We scarifice nothing here at Bargain Banners by JON.

Our banners are of the highest quality construction.  There are several ways to make banners, and while each has it’s benefits, each has it’s drawbacks.  We prefer taped or heat welded seams.  In our experience, these hold up much better to wind.  I don’t know where you’re at (I will once you order though), but around here it gets windy!  If I had a nickle for everytime I’ve seen a sewn banner tear along the seam like perforated notebook paper I’d be a rich man.  Oh wait, I do have a nickle for everytime!  When a customer has a bad experience like that they usually switch to us!

I’ll be honest with you, banners are temporary signage (as opposed to permanantly mounted signs), but we do everything to make sure they last.  Not only do we use the strongest and best banners we can find, but the vinyl we use to letter it is always quality.  We proudly use 3M Series 50, ORACAL 651/751 (cast), and Shrinerite (made by General Formulations).  Compare that to some of our competition!  Ask them what vinyl they use and a lot them won’t tell you.  This is because they’re embrassed, they don’t know, or they buy the cheapest made imported vinyl they can find on ebay!  We’d rather spend a little more and make sure that the banner you receive won’t fail prematurely.

Our full color printed banners aren’t cheap either!  We print with solvent based ink.  Many of our competitors advertise they use UV ink. This means they’re printing with waterbased ink that has a very limited outdoor life.  Our printed banners will last up to 3 years in the sun.  Anyone that claims their’s will last longer either isn’t planning on being in business that long, or is ignorant of the inks capabilities.  We don’t deceive our customers, we treat them like friends.
