The Banner Ups Tape Guide can be your roadmap for sorting out the confusing world of graphic tapes. By answering just a few simple questions, a color-coded system guides you to the product that is right for you,from these main application categories:

CATEGORY 1 : GRAPHIC OVERLAYS AND LAMINATING

Adhesive Transfer Tapes - These tapes are often referred to as “free films” because they are simply pure adhesive on a liner with no carrier film. When used to laminate paper or film, these allow you to imitate direct coating of adhesive on any surface, even in low volume. In thicker gauges, they can fill uneven surfaces to create high adhesion. The better quality transfer adhesives are clearer. These tapes are often used for graphic overlays, wide web lamination, nameplates, attaching layers, or kits for POP displays.

CATEGORY 2: POP Display Tapes and Adhesives

Double-Sided Film Tapes - Film tapes with rubber or high tack acrylic adhesive on both sides create quick, permanent, and low-cost bonds on relatively smooth substrates. Suitable for banner hemming, assembly of smoother flexible or rigid vinyl, polystyrene, plastics, foam board, nameplates, metals, etc., or flush mounting indoor signs and displays. Specialty versions include Hi-Lo tapes with removable adhesive on one side for easy replacement.

CATEGORY 3: Foam Tape for Textured Surfaces

Double-Sided Film Tapes - Film tapes with rubber or high tack acrylic adhesive on both sides create quick, permanent, and low-cost bonds on relatively smooth substrates. Suitable for banner hemming, assembly of smoother flexible or rigid vinyl, polystyrene, plastics, foam board, nameplates, metals, etc., or flush mounting indoor signs and displays. Specialty versions include Hi-Lo tapes with removable adhesive on one side for easy replacement.

CATEGORY 4: High Bond Structural Adhesives

Double-Sided Film Tapes - Film tapes with rubber or high tack acrylic adhesive on both sides create quick, permanent, and low-cost bonds on relatively smooth substrates. Suitable for banner hemming, assembly of smoother flexible or rigid vinyl, polystyrene, plastics, foam board, nameplates, metals, etc., or flush mounting indoor signs and displays. Specialty versions include Hi-Lo tapes with removable adhesive on one side for easy replacement.

Banner Ups are the most convenient and easiest way to grommet your banners. I use the Bravo tabs and will absolutely never metal grommet again. Once applied, they are as strong as any metal grommet and when combined with banner tape, outdoor banners are a breeze. I have several customers who love the way they work and one very large commercial customer who wants nothing else. Thanks for a great product!!

I use these and love them. I made a banner 4 years ago for a client that mounted it to a steel building for a sign. It is still hanging good today. Great product!

I am a school teacher. We have been using the banner up products for some time now. It really cuts down on the labor time for producing banners and simple for students.

The Keder tape is great for silicone edge graphics. The tape is very easy to use and best of all you don't need a sewing machine. We also use the power tape. This is a great alternative to webbing. Cost effective and does not require any special tools.
