Applying Window Cling To 18oz Banner

[Creative Sign Guy(s)]

I have a job for six 20"x30" double sided window graphics they want printed on 18oz pvc banner. I have never laminated banner material before.
What is the best way to go about applying window cling to banner?

TIA

Inquiring minds would like to know as well.

I think there is a belief that they can print some two sided 18 oz banner material and somehow laminate static cling to it that will cause the banner to adhere to the window.

OMG I think you may be right....it's certainly creative

"Window cling" what is that? You talking about the material with no adhesive. How about staples!

 

[Gino]

You think Staples sells this stuff ?? They sell other sign supplies, I guess this, too.

 

[Johnny Best]

Staple the cling to the banner.

 

[Gino]

Oh........ they sell banners at Staples and you wanna cling to the idea of this mess working somehow ??

Gino, that Creative Sign gave you some crap this morning and now you are going to ride him out of town with his new heat gun holster.
Saying this in a deep whisper..."Come on man".

No he didn't. He can say what he wants and however I receive it is on me...... and I choose to ignore his dumbness....... in both of his threads.

Are you trying to make a banner stick to the window by applying a window cling to the banner? This is not going to work. If they want to hang a banner in the window then get some of those little suction cups to hang from the grommets. Otherwise, make/order a window cling or print and cut vinyl.

They are signs for college campus restaurants. It is "Gudi" AKA "Briteline mounting film". It is a double sided removable adhesive. Typically we will use it on posters that are adhered to the inside of a glass door or window. The adhesive has pretty good tack but comes off with little force and usually completely clean. For some reason they want it on 18 oz banner instead of 24 pt ancora cardstock. No matter what I say they(and the owner of the company I am employed at) insist it must be on banner.

"Gudi" AKA "Briteline mounting film". It is a double sided removable adhesive. They want that on 18 oz scrim banner. Some 4/4 some 4/0.

We refer to posters with "Gudi" AKA "Briteline mounting film" as "window clings". We call static clings, well, static clings.

You are talking about 2 sided face mount adhesive. If you use banner material with no scrim on the backside it will adhere without a problem.
"scrim" the web material on backside of banner.
