Sounds obvious, but the placement and spacing of those eyelets can make a big difference to how the banner holds up over time, especially outdoors.
If a banner is going on fencing around a site in Dundalk or stretched along barriers at an event in Dublin, it needs even tension. Eyelets every few feet help distribute that tension so wind doesn’t pull on just one point. When banners tear, it’s usually because they weren’t fixed evenly or they were tied too tightly at only a couple of points.
Material is typically the same durable PVC used for most outdoor banners. Weather-resistant. Wipe-clean. Designed to handle Irish conditions — which means rain, wind, and occasional sideways rain for good measure. They’re not indestructible, but they’re tough.
Design principles stay the same as standard banners: keep it readable. Large text. High contrast. Minimal clutter. We’ve seen banners with paragraphs of text that nobody could read unless they were standing right in front of them. That defeats the purpose.
We do plenty of eyelet banners for businesses and events across Louth and the surrounding areas, and they often travel further across Leinster for shows, markets, or promotions. A company might use the same banner in Drogheda one weekend and then bring it up to Dublin the next. So durability matters.
Size depends entirely on where it’s going. If you’re unsure, measure or send a photo of the location. We can advise on proportions that work visually. A banner that’s too small looks lost. Too big and it becomes awkward to install.
Installation tip: use cable ties or proper bungee cords rather than string if possible. They hold tension better and reduce tearing risk. Small detail, but worth knowing.
If you’ve got artwork, send it on. If not, give us the size and wording and we’ll guide you. Get in touch and we’ll keep it practical.
