Finishing Options for 8x18 Banners
- Print only: edges trimmed to size, no grommets. Good for mounting flat on a board or frame.
- Hemming only: edges folded over and reinforced, with no grommets. For hanging with clips, a frame, or pole pockets.
- Hemmed edges plus grommets: reinforced edges with grommets for hanging. The sturdiest choice for outdoor use.
Optional on any size: pole pockets (sleeves for a pole or rod) and wind slits (small cuts that let wind pass through on fences and outdoor walls).
