Stretch-friendly & wrinkle-resistant: The knitted construction gives the material a slight stretch, making it easier to mount onto exhibition frames and structures without unsightly creases.

-
Premium fabric look and feel: Unlike standard vinyl banners, this fabric offers a more refined aesthetic — ideal for trade shows, retail environments or premium event graphics.
-
Large width availability: Rolls in widths up to 196″ (or approximately 198″) mean fewer seams and cleaner visual impact on large displays.
