Hem Tape or Sewing: Which One Is Right for You Banners?

When it comes to putting up quick, efficient, and easy banners, normally, there are options you can choose from. The first is to get your banners sewn, while the other is to tape them up. But how do you know which one to choose? To help you understand your options, our team at Banner Ups compares hem tapes and sewing in this latest blog.

A Look a Hem Tape vs. Sewing

Fabric Friendly: Be it materials like polypropylene or regular fabrics, the conformable nature of hem tapes allows them to work with any material perfectly. Sewing banners, on the other hand, are notorious for having a large time-consuming learning curve.

Time: On average, putting a banner up using hem tape shouldn’t take more than a quick five to ten minutes as opposed to the minimum of hours it would take if sewn. Thus, clearly, taping banners is far more time and cost-effective than sewing them.

Costs/Budget: The cost of using tape for hanging a banner is much less than any other option. Since sewing is a time-consuming and labor-intensive activity, it costs substantially more than just tapping a banner. If sticking to a budget or minimizing the finishing costs is a priority (and it should be), you should choose hem tape to stick up your banners.

Easy To Use: Another significant perk of using hem tape is that anyone can easily use it. Most people use some tape and hang up a banner without risking any injuries. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about other methods like sewing. Not only are sewing machines difficult to operate, but they can also potentially harm someone if they are not properly trained to use one.

Versatility: Yet another perk of hem tape from Banner Ups is its versatility. It can used with any fabric, anywhere. The same is, however, not true for sewn banners.
