How we perform "surgery" on your banner sign

The tearing out of a grommet is the most common accident that happens with banner signs. This is typically caused by the pulling when hanging the sign. You also add stress on the banner if you only use the corner grommets to carry the weight of the banner. A preventative measure would be to distribute the weight across a rope that is woven across the length of the banner. This can then be tied off the same as if you used only the corners.

However, the prevention does no good if the problem has already occured. The good news is the the procedure to repair the banner sign is relatively simple and can be done in a short period of time.

A piece of matching vinyl is cut larger then the tear. The additional amount of material is used to allow overlap. This helps the vinyl hold together better. A specialized tape is then used to bond the new vinyl to the original banner sign. Once the new vinyl is adhered to the banner, a new grommet is attached to the banner in the same place as the previous one. A procedure that will extend the life of your digital banner has now been completed.
Will my banner sign have scars?

Unfortunately there will be signs of the repair. However it will only be visible close up. If your banner sign is being hung where people do not come directly up to it, the repair will be virtually invisible. We take great care to assure that your banner sign looks as close to the original condition as possible.

Now you know if your banner sign happens to have a grommet torn out, there is no reason to get rid of it. You just need a professional to do a repair.
