Custom vinyl banners<\/a> are a great way to get your message across to a large audience. They are durable, cost-effective, weather-resistant, and come in a variety of sizes.

However, wrinkled or creased banners can look unprofessional and obscure your message, and poorly stored banners can shorten their lifespan. In this post, we\u2019ll share tips on how to remove wrinkles from vinyl banners and how to store banners properly to avoid wrinkles, creases, and fold lines.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n There are two ways to get wrinkles out of vinyl banners: lay them out and use natural heat from the sun or use artificial heat.<\/p>\r\n Before getting started, make sure that the banners are clean. Any dirt or grime can make the process of removing wrinkles messier and harder. It\u2019s best to use a soft cloth with warm water to clean your vinyl banner, then dry it quickly with a dry cloth before beginning.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Using natural heat is the best method to remove wrinkles from vinyl banners.

This may take a few hours or even up to a day or two, depending on the size of the banner, the amount of sunlight, and the severity of the wrinkles.<\/p>\r\n To speed up the process, use gravity and tension to stretch out the vinyl. If the banner comes with grommets, you can hang the vinyl banner against a wall, facing the sun, and add weight like partially filled water bottles to flatten creases. When laying the banner flat, place weights in the corners to prevent it from rolling up. Using grommets, bungee cords, zip ties, or rope to display the banner tautly will also help remove wrinkles and creases.<\/p>\r\n Use a heat gun, handheld steamer, or a hairdryer to smoothen any wrinkles<\/strong>. In the absence of natural heat, artificial heat can be used to help remove wrinkles from your\u00a0vinyl banners. Remember to exercise caution when using artificial heat<\/strong> as too much of it can permanently damage or completely ruin your vinyl banner.<\/p>\r\n Follow these tips when using artificial heat to remove wrinkles from your vinyl banners<\/p>\r\n Avoid using an iron to remove wrinkles from vinyl banners.
