Document Summary
Scrim is made up of little squares. Thread in between, helps make banner really strong. Used for things like banners, event flags, trade show signs. Used when something needs to be up for a really long time. Blockout = 2 layers of white vinyl or black in between the 2 layers, no show through. See through (unless you put a layer in between) Colours will be brighter because surface is smooth. Small metal rings used to reinforce holes to hang banner. Two separate pieces pressed together to make grommet. Variety of sizes - standard size . Plastic or rubber may not last long in colder weather. Metal could rust if not sealed properly. Punch hole in material, place grommet by hand or pneumatic device. Placed in all four corners (sometimes every 2in on the top and bottom too) Strong, durable, proven, cheap and outdoor/indoor use. Latch them on and hang banners up. A lot more expensive ( per clip)
