Quick question on finishing a roll banner?

Recommended Posts

I am in a pinch for time and this banner is very low key.  Its for a friend and they need it for an event this weekend.  Long story short, I was able to pickup a scrap piece of white banner roll, probably a 13 oz to use for a 3x6' banner.  I have a heavy duty grommet puncher (from USC).  What else would I need to do besides fold and grommet the edges/corners (I say fold because I am not sure if a single layer will be strong enough)?  Do I need to use hem tape to keep the folded edges flat?  And/or do I need to seal any edges (folded or not)?  Edge pic attached.

Thank you!

use banner hem tape and fold over - then grommet.   a quality banner tape is the key.

Thanks Dakota.  I will see what I can find locally!  I am going to have to go to a local sign shop and beg :)

I have never used it for banner hems, but Home Depot sells a very high-strength aggressive-tack tape for holding down carpets and linoleum flooring.
