Description

The Sail Banner captures the look of a yacht’s sail, and this unique design provides you with a very large print area, ideal for those that want maximum branding area complimented by a funky design.

A tension rod sewn into the bottom horizontal section of the flag allows the banner to remain open and visible all the time, and enables the banner to stand tall without “whipping” in the wind. The tension rod minimises damage to the fabric and extends the life of your banner. This is even more important when you are thinking double sided banners, as the extra weight makes them more susceptible to damage from whipping.

Why choose Expandasign Flying Banners?
Since introducing the first Flying Banners into Australia in 1999, our banners continue to maintain their original superior design features and quality, that have stood the test of time and have been enhanced with the latest technology advances.
Superior Printing:

Latest technology, quality full Colour Digital Printing
Single Sided Printing is available for ALL flying banners and has approx. 95% bleed-through of the image onto the reverse side
True Double-Sided Printing is available for SELECTED flying banners and uses ONLY 2 pieces of material with a grey block out coating on the reverse side to prevent transparency. We NEVER use 3 pieces of fabric as this makes the banner heavier, meaning that it is more susceptible to damage in the wind.

Superior Fabric Banner:

The knitted polyester fabric used is stronger than the other woven fabrics
The knitted polyester fabric achieves higher quality print
The separate rod pocket made from a heavy duty polyester fabric allows the rods to easily feed through the fabric and extend the life of the banner
The rod pocket, incorporating 100mm reinforcing, is also triple stitched at the end of the sleeve where it meets the tip rod, for additional reinforcing where the banner needs it most. This helps to prevent the tip rod from wearing a hole through the fabric

Superior Hardware:

The strong fibreglass rods are designed for high flexibility and long-lasting durability
The Tip Rod carries a lifetime guarantee and has a smooth, moulded cone at the tip, which helps prevent the rod from protruding through the fabric
The fibreglass rods are designed with a memory which allows the rods to return to the original position after bending inside the banner
We provide metal collars at the pole ends to strengthen the rods and increase longevity, preventing the rods from splitting
All banner bases feature the original wider spindle to support a wider base rod, providing more strength in the rod system
All banner bases feature a rotating ball bearing mechanism which allows the banner to turn freely without wrapping around the pole

Easy Lock Tensioning System:

It is very important to ensure that the tension is set correctly, for the optimum appearance and durability of your Flying Banner
Our adjustable cord mechanism with an easy lock clip makes tensioning quick and easy
Simply mount your Flying Banner, use the adjustable cord to adjust the tension on the banner and then easily lock the cord with the lock clip
Remember to adjust the tension over time as the banner fabric stretches or moves to maintain the correct tension and optimum appearance

Assembly Instructions

Place your banner base into position. If using a ground spike, use a mallet to drive the spike into the ground.
DO NOT hit the rotating spindle when driving the spike into the ground.
Insert the rounded end of the Tip Rod into the opening of the black sleeve, joining the rods securely, one at a time, as you feed them into the sleeve.
Ensure that the end of the Tip Rod goes to the very end of the reinforced sleeve end. If you allow it to come out of the reinforced sleeve it can damage your banner.
Adjust the cord at the bottom of the banner, so that the Tip Rod is held securely, then attach the cord to the collar on the bottom pole.
Place the banner onto the base and adjust the banner tension with the cord. Too much tension will cause ripples in the banner.

Assembly Checklist

Tip Rod is at very end of the reinforced sleeve end
Cord is firm and hooked securely
Banner is taut with no ripples
Base is secure

General Care Instructions

Ensure the banner has enough clearance to avoid rubbing on walls, trees etc. and check to that the banner is clear of electrical wires.
When using a ground spike ensure there are no obstacles such as rocks, concrete, pipes etc.
Take care and avoid hitting the rotating spindle when driving the spike into the ground.
To increase the lifespan of your banner, take it down at night or in winds exceeding 50 km/ph.
Cleaning your banner is advised. Rinse the fabric with warm soapy water, followed by clean water and then assemble to dry naturally before packing away.
Regularly check your banner for wear and adjust the cord to ensure the banner is taut.
The end of the Tip Rod must always be at very end of the reinforced sleeve.
If you require a new cord, or any components including rods, bases and reprints, contact your supplier.
