Comparision of flex and vinyl banner printing

FLEX BANNER PRINTING:

Flex banner printing is widely used these days in almost all kind of small budget events. We are
also witnessing flex banner being used in events like birthday parties. Believe us its no fun
putting in hours of hard work for getting your perfect communication with the help of thermocol,
sketch pen, craft material.

Earlier teachers used to always give us project or often termed as summer and winter vacations
holidays which were left to be completed by almost last week before schools were scheduled to
be opened. Not quite now, we are surely into digital age where typical earlier notebook kind of
exercise has been replaced by presentation, charts, excel, powerpoint and many colleges insist on
presentation on flex, sunboards which are used in form of notice board etc.

Flex banner is relatively cheaper as compared to other medium of printing. It is strechable as

well which multiply its use. Flex banner can be printed in any specific size but most printer wont
take order where one dimension is less than 3 sq ft as that would be print head of flex printers.
Few will offer you in any size but they invariably will charge you for minimum i.e. 3ft x 2ft ie. 6
sq ft of flex, which should be anywhere between INR 100/- to INR 200/- varying from printer to
printer as per machine, color ink used, location, relationship with the printer and so on.

One way in which flex printing outperforms vinyl is quantum of flex which is printed on year on
year basis and its rise which is truly phenominal.

VINYL BANNER PRINTING:

Vinyl material comes in few varieties like eco solvent vinyl which can be with and without
lamination as per the preference. Ink jet vinyl is also preffered choice of many companies these
days as it stands out when compared to normal vinyl, star vinyl or eco solvent vinyl.

It is not that easy to paste a vinyl in an exhibition as manual amateur pasting of vinyl will result
into bubble formation and the whole material will get wasted and it would look shabby. It is
highly advisable to take the help of a professional paster when pasting your vinyl material.

Costing of Vinyl Material

Eco Solvent Vinyl - INR 75/- to INR 115/-

Ink Jet Vinyl - INR 90/- to INR 130/-

Normal Vinyl - INR 25/- to INR 40/-

Pasting can be normal else one can even choose to go with sunboard mounting of the vinyl
which is generally 3 mm or 5 mm in thickness.

Vinyl is definetly better quality as compared to flex and if you are participating in an renowed
event, then it is better that either you go with vinyl if board is there else try to fit in with
sunboard along with few standees. You can also try going with star flex material which also
looks pretty well and stands out.

Vinyl printing too is on rise in India.
