With its micro-perforated construction, mesh banner lets wind pass through the surface instead of pushing against it. The result? Safer, longer-lasting outdoor signage that’s ideal for construction sites, building wraps, stadiums, and festivals.
Here’s how mesh banner works, where it shines, and what to consider when using it in your digital print projects.
Mesh banner material is a flexible, PVC or polyester-based substrate engineered with tiny holes (perforations) throughout the surface. These holes reduce wind load and allow air to pass through — making mesh banners less likely to tear or act like sails in exposed environments.
Mesh banners feature:
A woven or scrim-reinforced structure
Perforated pattern (typically 70/30 or 60/40 print-to-hole ratio)
A printable face layer for UV, solvent, or latex inks
Options with or without a liner (linerless mesh is lighter and faster to print)
Construction fences and scaffolding wraps
Sports venues and stadium branding
Festival perimeter signage
Building facades and outdoor wall graphics
High-wind roadside installations
Event backdrops and stage branding
Mesh banners are the perfect solution when you need big impact without structural risk.
Mesh banners are designed to work with:
Solvent and eco-solvent printers – deep color and durable outdoor performance
UV printers – instant curing, excellent scratch resistance
Latex printers – good for PVC-free or coated polyester mesh options
Print tips:
Use mesh-specific print profiles to adjust ink load and compensate for perforation
For linerless mesh, install a take-up reel and vacuum system to handle airflow during printing
Allow ink to dry fully before post-processing or installation
Pro tip: Color saturation will appear lighter than solid banner — adjust your design accordingly.
Wind-resistant — safer and more stable than solid PVC
Lightweight — easier to install, ship, and handle
Outdoor-durable — stands up to UV, rain, and wind
Big-format friendly — available in wide rolls for large-scale graphics
PVC-free mesh options available for eco-conscious projects
Use Substrate Bank to filter mesh options by wind load rating, ink system compatibility, or fire certification (B1/M1).
Hem edges or weld seams for added strength
Use reinforced corners and grommets every 40–60 cm
Mount using bungee cords, zip ties, or cable systems to allow natural flex
Avoid tight tensioning — leave room for movement under wind pressure
For stage or scaffold wraps, use mesh with flame-retardant certification
Printable mesh banners let you go big without battling the breeze. They’re the reliable, wind-friendly alternative to solid PVC — keeping your message up, your structure safe, and your install team stress-free.
Because in large-format outdoor print, the best banners don’t block the wind — they flow with it.
