Banner mesh suppliers generally use nylon or metal eyelets to reinforce the holes through which banners are secured to temporary fencing, semi-permanent fencing, hoardings, and other types of boundary structures.
Whether banner mesh is used to promote branding or safety messaging on construction sites, or used at events or festivals, eyelets are crucial for ensuring banner mesh durability and longevity.
The Great Debate: Metal vs Nylon Eyelets
Selecting metal or nylon eyelets for your banner mesh can make a big difference when it comes to reusability, longevity, visual condition, and overall performance.
Metal Eyelets for Banner Mesh
✅ High Strength: Suitable for heavy-duty applications and use in high-wind areas
✅ Recyclable: Generally manufactured from recyclable metal
🚫 Limited Durability: Prone to rust and corrosion which compromises durability and strength
🚫 Potential Sharp Edges: Deterioration can create sharp edges that tear or rip banner mesh
🚫 Low Weather-Resistance: UV exposure and wet weather can cause wear and deterioration
🚫 Seeping Rust: Rust and corrosion can seep onto banner mesh, causing discolouration
🚫 Not Reusable: Rusted eyelets cannot be cleaned, limiting banner lifespan and reuse
🚫 Highly Visible: Metal eyelets standout and are highly visible against banner mesh
Metal eyelets are prone to rust and can cause damage to banner mesh over time
