»»» The Printable Banner Materials Options
When considering which type of banner is best suited for your business or event, there are some factors to keep in mind. Not all banner materials are a good fit for all environments. With this in mind, some banners are suitable for outdoor café barriers while others are better when used indoors. Also, factor in your budget and what you are willing to spend. Café barrier banners that are reputable are preferable. If you want to use your barrier outside, opt for a banner that is wind-permeable and mount it on a frame that is at least 10 kilograms. Here are the options we offer:
PVC Café Barriers Banners
This type of banner is arguably the cheapest option, hence its popularity in matters concerning café barriers. Not only do they give enough clarity when printed on using UV printing technology, but they are also flexible. Polyester materials can be laminated with PVC for increased visual appeal. Additionally, PVC banners are printable on one or both sides. The ones that are printable on one side cost less. Also, there are options for wind-permeable PVC banners for windy areas. These PVCs banners have tiny holes that make them less resistant to wind.
PVC banners are waterproof, making them great for outdoor use and promote easy cleaning. They are also durable and have a professional and glossy appearance that enhances the graphics. However, under harsh weather conditions, they do not retain color very well. Also, on one hand, folding them leaves unremovable fold lines and on the other, banners with rail pockets on each side do not roll. This is because instead of using ropes, they snap to the frame via sail tracks. Yet, when it comes to all banners, PVC banners are advisable for outdoor use since they are durable and more affordable than canvas banners.
Here are a few steps on how to install a café barrier with a PVC banner:
First, hold the PVC banner in position and put the stick into the banner’s sleeve. Snap the banner into the barrier frame clamp. In the accessories pack, find the screws and fasten the clamps. Insert the assembled frame onto the base (feet). Fasten the base with screws and your café barrier is good to go.

Fabric Café Barriers Banners
If you have an indoor business or event that requires café barriers, rest assured the fabric banners will make you proud. The printing method for fabric banners is known as sublimation. As opposed to other banners, this printing method produces high-quality graphics that make your café barriers stand out. Since they are normally manufactured using satin, nylon, polyester, and other synthetic fibers, they make the café barriers look attractive. They blend well and rhythmically flow to the décor indoors. However, if you opt to use fabric banners outdoors, keep them away from the rain. They get easily ruined under huge amounts of moisture.
A fabric cover banner is creatively designed like a pillowcase. All you have to do is sock the banner from the banner frame top, downward, and zip it up at the bottom. Since it is stretchy, the banner’s surface is smooth after zipping. We can dye a sublimated print on one or both sides of the fabric cover. Additionally, a fabric cover banner can be easily folded and packed in a carton for transportation. This may also reduce your shipping cost when you order replacement banners.
The installation of the fabric cover banner on a café barrier frame is easy. Here is how:
Assemble the frame if the steel bars separate for ease of transportation. Lock the top, sides, and bottom frame together. Slip the fabric cover banner from the top downward. Stretch the cover sufficiently to fit and achieve evenness. Zip the cover at the bottom. Insert the bases and after fastening them with screws, your job is done.
