A common question we get every day is, “What’s the difference between fabric dye sub and lay-flat vinyl for printing banner stands?” This question is probably so common because people worry that they may order the wrong print media, which in turn will (of course) completely ruin their trade show exhibit and any chances of gaining new business at the conference (yikes)!

Well, not to fret! The biggest difference in the two print options is a matter of preference. Seriously, you can’t go wrong! Generally speaking, our clients prefer to print on Vinyl if they have text-heavy or picture-heavy artwork. Some clients prefer Fabric dye sub if they have a lot of colors or vector images in their artwork, or just want to keep all products in their exhibitor’s booth space on fabric media. But these are simply guidelines, not rules, and at the end of the day the choice is yours, I promise ;)

A few trade show products that ask you to choose the print media (decisions, decisions) are the Silver Step banner stands, the Economy Retractables, and several more in both the retractable and non-retractable banner stand categories. Now that you know more, happy choosing!
