PVC-free banners and more sustainable print choices

A lower-impact print specification starts with the job itself. Order the quantity you need, choose a material that suits the expected life of the product and avoid finishes that make disposal unnecessarily difficult.

When to consider a PVC-free banner

PVC-free banner materials reduce reliance on PVC while still providing a printable surface for events, displays and promotions. Availability, durability and fixing options vary by specification, so the intended location and period of use should be checked before ordering.

PVC-free does not always mean recyclable

Material claims need to be read carefully. A PVC-free product is not automatically recyclable through a local collection. Ask what the material contains, whether the eyelets or other fittings need to be removed and which disposal route is available in your area.

Other practical choices

• Use standard sizes where possible to reduce waste.
• Avoid lamination when the print does not need extra protection.
• Use one durable sign for repeated events rather than adding a date.
• Add a QR code only when it gives the reader useful information that may change.
