A well-cared-for PVC banner lasts for years. Here's how to make yours last.
Cleaning Light

- Warm water only no detergent
- Dry with a dry cloth before storing

Storage The Golden Rule: Roll, Don't Fold
PVC creases permanently where it folds. Always roll with the printed side facing outwards.
How to Roll
- Lay flat, print side up
- Start rolling from one short edge
- Roll loosely tube diameter 5–8cm
- Tie with string/tape not rubber bands
Storage Conditions
- Cool, dry place garage is fine
- Out of direct sunlight
- Don't stack weights on top
- Original cardboard tube is ideal
Reviving a Creased Banner
Lay flat in the sun for a few hours. Gentle heat relaxes PVC.
