Which substrate is right for your project?
XG Group offers a wide range of substrates from which you can choose, depending on which product best suits your needs. Two popular options are fabric air mesh and PVC banners, offering different benefits suited to your needs. We recommend fabric airmesh for banners, backdrops, and promotional branding for relatively short-term events. PVC, however, is great for heras fencing or in environments such as construction sites where it needs to be robust against wear and tear. We can help you choose the right option for your needs, but here’s a brief comparison to help you get a good impression of their benefits.
Sustainability
Did you know we offer PVC-free banner substrates, an excellent replacement for their PVC counterparts? If you want something in PVC but want to be a little softer on the environment, give PVC-free a go. This is complemented by UV printing, which quickly sets ink onto the substrate without any chemicals evaporating into the atmosphere. When opting for fabric airmesh, we use dye sublimation printing. Dye sublimation printing is a solvent-free method that uses an in-line curing process to evaporate the water, leaving the dye ink cured into the fabric. Either option has benefits, but you can learn more about dye sub and UV printing here. Fabric airmesh also has the bonus of being made with recycled yarn, so your graphics are made from previously-loved products that are given a second lease of life.
