When your banner isn’t dressing up your space, you want to make sure you store it correctly to extend its useful lifespan.

  • Never fold your banner – it will leave creases.
  • Roll your banner whenever possible, for single sided banners, roll with the image facing in.
  • Store in a cool, dry place, avoid direct sun and any prolonged exposure to heat.
  • Store them upright whenever possible.

Creases

Even when the every possible precaution has been taken, a banner will sometimes become creased. There are a few options to remove these.

  1. Hang the banner before you’re ready to display it, the pull of gravity may do the work for you.
  2. If you don’t’ have the time for this method, or it doesn’t fully do the job, try heating the non-printed surface of the banner with a hair dryer and laying it on a flat surface.
  3. Last but not least, dampen a soft towel and place it over the backside of the crease. Use a warm iron to ‘steam’ the crease.
