Laceylp 1 Posted August 9, 2010 Has anyone tried the Zen Banner material from US CUTTER? I get the newsletter and it's on sale for a great price just hoping it was not the cheapo stuff and actually what I was looking for. I have an order for a 2' by 6' banner and have no material left, my other supplier is out of business now. Just hoping this is the good stuff and not the stuff i bought from another supplier that was crap!!! Any opinions on this product would be appreciated!

Guest AndrewJ Posted August 9, 2010 BannerJohn has reviewed the ZenQuick banner blanks product, which should be comparative being in essence the same material. Check it out: http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,28808.0.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laceylp 1 Posted August 9, 2010 Not sure if I ordered the 10 oz or 13 oz. Just ordered what they had on sale!! I needed an outdoor use...guess I will wait and see. Thanks for the reviews and bannerjohns thread as well.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the reviews and bannerjohns thread as well.... the sale was 10oz. It should be fine for short term outdoor use. I've used 10oz myself for 2 weeks in really tough weather.

You are the banner expert here so correct me if I am wrong , but can't you reinforce the grommets and cut some wind slits and leave a 10oz outside for quite some time?

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted August 9, 2010 yes, you can. But I have seen banners literally deteriorate from the sun over a long period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laceylp 1 Posted August 9, 2010 Mine is an inside and outside application. Plus I need to make the banner so they can fold it to display one part and not others for certain events...hmmm may need to charge more! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roxanneupnorth 106 Posted August 12, 2010 Are specials listed in email good all month?.....There are not dates shown so in my view, they apply for the whole month......Please confirm this.....If they are not good for the entire month it should be clearly stated the dates the special pricing applies....

SmallSigns 23 Posted August 17, 2010 Made my first banner with the Zen banner -- 13oz 48" --- spacing on the grommets is way off so don't count on that for spacing. The grommets also left marks on the banner that were very hard to get off. Other then that it was fine, but make sure to order some banner tape at the same time for the edges.

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted August 17, 2010 Got my 36" today - haven't opened it yet but great price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wasatchcars 0 Posted August 17, 2010 I just got my 2 rolls everything as advertised great deal and price cant beat it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted August 17, 2010 Placed another order Friday, got it today. I won't be buying banner rolls anywhere else as long as they keep the prices as low as they are now..and I'm not just talking about sale prices either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mopar691 281 Posted August 17, 2010 I Agree John, I ordered three rolls today off your review. Cant wait to get it and see for myself. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wasatchcars 0 Posted August 18, 2010 I also got some hem tape as long as I was there I never used hem tape always just cut a nice straight line and left it at that. Now that I have it I see its just strong double sided tape. My question is do you fold it back on to the banner or fold it back onto its self? or does it matter?

Now that I have it I see its just strong double sided tape. My question is do you fold it back on to the banner or fold it back onto its self? or does it matter? I use powertape and it's one sided and goes a GREAT job. No need to go through the BS of folding over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
