These specially-designed adhesive tabs make it very easy for a sign shop to finish banners. Depending on where you are going to put up the banner, there are certain recommended ways of using these adhesive tabs. Sign shops that make banner blanks usually have two options for finishing their banner blanks. First, they would need to invest in a sewing machine to create a hem and a grommet machine to install a grommet. Second, they could outsource the banner finishing process that would not only cost more, but also take more time. However, there is a third option that sign shops can make use of—an interesting product called Power tabs. These tabs can help make the banner finishing process faster, easier, and much stronger. These products also cost less than other expensive processes, ultimately helping the sign shop to pass on benefits to the customer. How do PowerTabs work? These specially-designed adhesive tabs make it very easy for a sign shop to finish banners. Using these tabs is very simple. The protective peel on the adhesive tabs can be peeled off, and the tab can simply be applied at the edge or corner of the printed banner. The tab sticks firmly to the surface of the banner. Different uses of the Tabs Depending on where you are going to put up the banner, there are certain recommended ways of using these adhesive tabs. Here are a few important ones: For indoor use: If you have a light duty or indoor use, you can simply put a rope through the neck loop along the edges of the adhesive tab. The small adhesive tabs are ideal for indoor use. For outdoor use: If you are going to need additional strength, you might want to punch a hole in the center of the tab after it has been secured to the banner. Place a rope through this hole, and put up your banner. This method greatly increases the strength of your banner. A regular hole punch might not punch a neat hole through the tab and banner media, hence it is advisable to invest in a heavy duty hole punch tool meant especially for use with adhesive power tabs. For outdoor use, the large banner ups are a better option. More facts about Adhesive Tabs These tabs can be recycled along with the banner. This makes them more environment friendly as compared with metal grommets. PowerTabs are available in plain white or crystal clear versions. The crystal clear tabs are recommended when you are using full-color digital banners. They don’t block any part of your banner. The best part about such tabs is that they are compatible with different types of banner media such as vinyl, paper, Foamcore, Tyvek, and so on. These tabs do not interfere with the prints or designs on your banner. These tabs are the perfect way to bypass traditional and expensive methods such as grommeting and sewing that depend on expensive tools. Author Bio
