PVC flex banner production uses three principal methods: knife coating, calendering and lamination. Each process combines PVC with a supporting fabric in a different way, influencing the surface, light transmission, ink absorption and finished material construction.

KNIFE COATING:

Liquid PVC slurry is applied uniformly to both faces of the base fabric using a series of coating blades. Drying combines the PVC and fabric into an integrated material, followed by cooling to form the finished banner.

The process provides penetration resistance, tensile strength and resistance to peeling. The integrated upper and lower construction can eliminate peeling, and welded joints can be stronger than the material itself. Widths can reach 5m. Complex production processes and expensive equipment contribute to higher prices; this process has been associated mainly with imported products in the Chinese market.

CALENDERING:

PVC powder, liquid plasticizer and other raw materials are thoroughly mixed, then bonded to the base fabric under pressure from high-temperature rollers. The result has good surface flatness and uniform light transmission, making it useful for internally illuminated displays. Equipment limitations generally restrict width to no more than 3m.

LAMINATION:

Upper and lower PVC film layers are heated and pressed around the central reinforcing web by heated rollers, then cooled to form the finished material. This process offers excellent ink absorption and strong color reproduction, supporting large-format inkjet printing. Laminated PVC flex banner has accounted for more than 70% of the Chinese market.

PVC FLEX BANNER APPLICATIONS:

Ultra-thin light boxes and space-limited displays

Applications include wedding photography studios, home and architectural decoration, design and planning institutes, product design centers, and bridge and building projects. Ultra-thin light boxes have an elegant, lightweight construction, generally less than 3cm thick—about one-tenth of the thickness of conventional light boxes. This saves space, simplifies installation and transport, and suits elevators, public passages, shopping malls, supermarkets, subways and stations.
