Description

Mesh banner performance, without the PVC

Fabric Mesh Polyester is the PVC-free way to do wind-tolerant outdoor graphics: a 100% polyester perforated mesh that lets air pass through while keeping your print sharp and bold. At 230gsm it's noticeably lighter than PVC mesh, folds into a bag instead of rolling onto a core, and dye-sublimation printing fixes the ink into the fibres for a vibrant, scuff-resistant, washable finish. Fitted with rust-free plastic eyelets and clean double-folded hems. A real person checks your artwork before it's printed, and every order helps restore forests through our Print A Tree project.

Key details

Material

100% polyester perforated mesh, 230gsm — lightweight to handle, durable in use, and PVC-free

Airflow

The mesh structure lets wind pass through, reducing load on fixings while keeping graphics highly visible

Print

Dye-sublimation — ink heat-fixed into the fabric for bold colour that's scuff-resistant and washable

Lighter than PVC

A 3375 × 1780mm Heras banner weighs ~1.4kg in fabric mesh vs ~1.9kg in PVC — easier fitting across big jobs

Finishing

Double-folded hem (50mm fold, 10mm tuck) with rust-free plastic eyelets — folds into bags or boxes for transport

Best for

Heras fence banners, scaffold and building wraps, crowd barriers, café barriers, lamp post banners — indoor and out

Why fabric mesh instead of PVC?

Three practical reasons. Handling: fabric mesh folds for packing and transport with none of the creasing, pinching or rolling-onto-a-core that PVC needs — simpler to store, ship and fit on site. Weight: at 230gsm it's lighter than PVC mesh, and that gap adds up across a multi-banner install — a large Heras banner drops from around 1.9kg in PVC to about 1.4kg in fabric mesh. Material policy: because it's 100% polyester rather than PVC, it can be the more environmentally considerate choice — which matters for organisations working to environmental targets or procurement rules that PVC products don't meet. You lose nothing in durability: the polyester construction and machine-sewn hems hold up, and the mesh still lets wind through.

Every order plants trees

A PVC-free, 100% polyester banner that folds, washes and reuses — the choice for procurement policies moving away from PVC. Through our Print A Tree project with Ecologi, every Printlogik order funds verified reforestation on top. Free, automatic, every time. See the forest grow →

Artwork made easy

Every order includes a free artwork check by a real person — you don't need to ask. If we spot a problem, we'll contact you before anything gets printed.

The spec that matters most on this fabric: supply 50mm of bleed — considerably more than the usual few millimetres — because the material needs extra for the hems and to allow for shrinkage and movement when printing and cutting fabric. Supply a CMYK PDF with fonts outlined, and design bold: mesh and distance both favour strong, high-contrast artwork over fine detail. Send your file over and we'll confirm the bleed and setup before printing.

Frequently asked questions

What is fabric mesh polyester used for? ›

Wind-exposed outdoor graphics — Heras fence banners, scaffold and building wraps, crowd barriers, café barriers and lamp post banners. The perforated structure lets wind through, so it's the material for anywhere a solid banner would catch too much air.

How is it different from a PVC mesh banner? ›

Same wind-through principle, but PVC-free: fabric mesh folds rather than rolls, weighs less (about 1.4kg versus 1.9kg for a large Heras banner), and being 100% polyester suits procurement policies moving away from PVC. Durability and finishing are comparable.

Why does it need 50mm of bleed? ›

Fabric moves during printing, cutting and hemming far more than rigid materials, and the double-folded hem needs material to fold into. The 50mm bleed covers both, so your finished graphic sits exactly where it should with clean edges. It's the one artwork spec not to skimp on here.

Can you see through the mesh? ›

It's a tight-knit fabric, but some light show-through is possible when a light source sits behind it — normal for mesh, and the same property that lets wind pass. It doesn't affect front-lit or daytime visibility.

What's the maximum size? ›

Up to 3 metres on the shortest edge at standard pricing. Larger than that is possible with a bespoke quotation — tell us your finished size and we'll price it.

Do creases from folding come out? ›

Yes — items arrive folded in polybags, and any creases either drop out once the banner is tensioned or can be gently ironed out. The thread on the hems is black or white, chosen to suit your graphic.
