Polypropolene Banner

Anyone have any experience on finishing Polypropolene Banners? I have a client insisting on use poly for their banners and it needs to be hemmed and grommeted. I tried talking them into vinyl and priced the poly at a premium, but they still want poly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated since we haven't done it before...or maybe a wholesale source for (300) 6'x3'?

While poly is waterproof and can withstand some outdoor conditions, it's not an outdoor banner material. It will tear, stretch and become useless, with the least bit wind. It is not at all recommended for outdoor use. It's more for interior banners.

That is exactly what I told them but they won't budge. I thought being $0.75 more per square ft would dissuade them but it didn't.

I print on polybanner on our Epson SureColors VERY frequently. Gino speaks the truth. It's best for indoor, though can work outdoors for a short time. I've only ever tape-pocketed it. I could print and sheet cut 3x6s all day, but for a vendor that provides finishing as well, check out power-graphics.com
