Need help with 7' x 19' blank banner pieces

[ddarlak]

I need two pieces of blank banner material 7' x 19'. They are to put in two gallery windows to act as curtains/blinds/blockout. They originally asked to put white static cling in the windows but i think just putting a blank blockout banner in the windows will be easier and more cost effective.

I can buy a 98" x 164" roll for $455 from Gimco but i would have no use for the 126' that would be left on the roll. Can any one who prints large banners give me a cost on just two blank pieces 7' x 19'.

I'm thinking 18oz, i don't think edge curl will matter too much for what they are so not necessary to hem the edges

Thanks

Dave

order banner from any of the trade printers and upload a blank file and select no hem/grommet etc and you'll receive blank banner material

So, you will want to be careful as far as how much blockout a banner will have when compared to something like a blockout curtain. I'd give my guys over at Miratec a shout and see what they recommend, if opacity wasn't a concern I'd call on a billboard manufacturer. For instance, I just got a pair of banners from miratec for an unveiling a new set of channel letters. Aside from the $500 freight to have it next day, it was 2) 9'x22' at $261 each. That would probably cover the cost of a whole 20'x40' billboard face, and that comes with free shipping.

Or depending on how you're going to hang it... have 'em weld in some top/bottom pole pockets. Each banner will probably weigh around 15lbs. A piece of conduit and a couple of brackets on each side of the window should do the trick. (and another piece of conduit in the bottom to keep it taut)
