POLYSATIN

Polysatin is a richly defined and high quality looking fabric. Polysatin has a high sheen which makes it ideal for banners, signs and other applications in which a glossy appearance is desired.

POPLIN

This is the ultimate trade show fabric. Poplin fabric is a durable and versatile fabric with a low luster, matte finish. Primary uses include trade show graphics, backdrops, and fitted table covers and skirts. This fabric has a very supple hand and is semi-wrinkle resistant, making it an excellant choice when graphics will be repeatedly set-up and taken down for multiple shows or events. Poplin can also be stretched somewhat, allowing it to be pulled taut over metal, pvc and aluminum framework.

POLYDUCK

Polyduck is a rugged, canvas-like fabric offering tremendous durability. It is ideal for short-term outdoor* and indoor special event banner applications. Its canvas texture and stiff, semi-matte finish make an excellent choice for those displays demanding a tough, rugged, industrial-strength look. Because its stiff finish makes it susceptible to wrinkles and creases, polyduck should be rolled rather than folded for shipping and storage. Popular applications include corporate events, concerts and festivals or even birthday and retirement party banners.

HERCULES

Hercules is a heavy-weight polyester twill fabric. It's being used primarily for indoor trade show events as well as other in-store display signage where durability is important. Hercules is very resistant to abrasion, almost impossible to tear or rip. Its woven filament yarn construction makes this fabric ideal for banners that are constantly being handled or subject to abuse in high traffic areas or publis venues.

*For outdoor use, it is important to note that like any fine garment, the color in a dye sublimated banner or sign will fade with prolonged direct exposure to UV light. Approximate outdoor durability of dye sublimated banners is 1-3 months and varies with environmental conditions.
