Mesh banner material is woven with tiny holes that let wind pass through, which reduces strain on the banner and its fixings. That makes it the sensible choice for large banners on construction hoarding, scaffolding, stadium fences and open sites.
From a normal viewing distance the print looks solid, but close up the holes are visible, so fine text and small details should be kept large. Mesh is single-sided by nature; the back shows a faint reverse image.
FAQs
Is mesh as bright as PVC?
Colours are slightly less dense because part of the surface is open mesh, but at a distance the difference is small.
Can mesh be printed double-sided?
Not really. The open weave means the reverse side shows through. Use blockout PVC if you need two printed sides.
What size text works on mesh?
Keep body text large and bold. Thin fonts and small print can break up across the mesh holes when viewed up close.
