Below are several finishing options to choose from. Read through to make an informed decision.

Grommets

Grommets are probably the most common finishing option. They are of various forms and sizes. Grommets have reinforced holes for attaching ropes, hooks and the likes. They are usually fastened to the four corners of the banner to aid hanging. The small metal rings are placed so that the weight is evenly distributed across the banner, thus preventing it from sagging. Grommets placed on large banners enable suspension and hanging options. You can hang banners on walls or allow them to suspend freely from beams or surfaces.

Pole pockets

Do you want to display your basketball team banners on poles? Then you most definitely need pole pockets. These can be inserted on either side of the banner. The pocket which is of the same material and type as the banner is sewn by threading. Rigid poles can pass through the pockets.

HEM & GROMMETS SOCCER BANNERS

This is the standard finishing option for vinyl banners. Hems consist of one inch of the vinyl banner material folded over to the backside of the banner and heated together to form a clean and strong one-inch hem. The hems increase the strength and durability of the banner. While grommets on the other hand, are made of #2 brass rings. Grommets are about 1/2 inch in diameter. They are placed every 2-4 feet around the banner perimeter and are used to help hang the banner. We recommend using all of the grommets provided when you hang your banner to prevent the banner from tearing or ripping.

POLE POCKET SOCCER BANNERS

Pole pockets consist of either 2 inches or 3 inches of material wrapped around the sides, top or bottom of the banner. The vinyl banner material is folded over the back side of the banner similar to hems, but there is room for a pole or rod to go through the pocket. The material is heat welded onto the backside of the banner which creates a smooth 2-inch or 3-inch seam.

TRIANGLE SOCCER BANNERS

This kind of commemorative flag can be seen in several events not just soccer games. Decorating the field with triangle soccer banners will make it more conducive to players and entertaining to the crowd.
