PVC or Mesh: The Right Banner for Every Circuit

Different venues and positions need different materials, so we print both:

Standard PVC banners (440gsm) – solid colour and maximum impact for paddock, garage and rear-of-awning positions. Great for:

  • Behind your race tent or awning
  • Across the front of garages
  • On trailers and support vehicles
  • Inside hospitality and exhibition areas

Wind-resistant mesh banners (340gsm) – the choice for large-format banners in exposed, high-level or trackside positions. Mesh lets air pass through while still carrying your artwork. Ideal for:

  • Fences, gantries and perimeter lines
  • High-wind circuits and open venues
  • Reducing stress on fixings and support structures

Every banner is supplied hemmed and eyeletted as standard, ready for immediate use in the paddock.

Printed motorsport PVC banner

Built for Race Weekends, Not Just One Event

Motorsport banners need to cope with regular transport, quick turnarounds and mixed weather. Our PVC and mesh banners are specified with that in mind.

  • Durable print that stands up to UV, rain and repeated use
  • Reinforced hems and metal eyelets as standard
  • Rolled for storage to minimise creasing and damage
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor use at circuits and shows

Roll them up after the weekend, put them back in the van and they are ready to go again at the next round.

Where to Use PVC Banners in Motorsport

There are dozens of smart ways to deploy banners around a race weekend:

  • Paddock and awning – across the back of your race tent, along café barriers or pit walling, and at the entrance to your paddock bay
  • Garage and pit lane – above or behind the car, along pit-wall panels, and as driver and sponsor boards for media use
  • Events and trade shows – on tables and counters, across shell-scheme walls, and at the entrance to your stand
  • Series and organisers – directional signage, sponsor backdrops for podiums, and branded welcome and grid areas

If you are investing in a branded motorsport tent, flags or pit walling, PVC banners are a natural add-on that extends your branding further around the circuit.

Artwork, Sizing and Lead Times

Choose a standard size or order custom dimensions to fit a specific space – the back of your awning, a particular fence line or a trailer side.

  • Custom sizes available to fit your paddock layout
  • Single-sided print with excellent show-through
  • Artwork support if you do not have a designer in-house
  • Visual proof supplied before we go to print

Most PVC and mesh motorsport banners are produced and dispatched within 7 to 10 working days after artwork approval. If you have a specific race weekend or show deadline, let the team know and we will advise what is realistic.

Add feather flags to your paddock branding

Banners work best paired with tall feather flags that lift your branding above the awning line. Popular flag options include:

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best size banner for a race tent or awning?
Common sizes for the back of a race tent are 3m or 6m wide, depending on the footprint of your awning. Many teams match the width of their Pro range gazebo or MQ-65 awning so the banner spans the full rear wall. If you are unsure, measure the space or send us a photo and we can recommend a suitable size.
Do you print square and large-format banners?
Yes. We print square banners in 1m x 1m, 1.2m x 1.2m and 1.5m x 1.5m, and large-format PVC and mesh banners up to 9m wide for grandstands, gantries and full awning backs. If you need an exact size, we can print custom dimensions from 0.5m x 0.5m upwards.
Should I choose standard PVC or mesh for my motorsport banner?
Standard PVC (440gsm) is best for paddock, awning and garage use where the banner is fixed to a solid structure or close to ground level. Mesh (340gsm) is better for exposed, high-level or trackside positions where wind loading is a concern. If you use fencing or scaffolding-style frames regularly, mesh is often the safer option.
Can PVC banners be used indoors as well as outdoors?
Yes. PVC and mesh banners work indoors at exhibitions, autosport shows, dealer events and open days, as well as outside at circuits. For indoor use, PVC usually gives the strongest visual impact, while mesh can help in very bright or glass-heavy environments where glare is an issue.
Do I need print-ready artwork to order a banner?
If you have print-ready artwork, we can work from your files. If not, our in-house team can help with layout, logo placement and basic design. We always send a visual proof for approval before printing so you can check colours, text and sponsor positioning.
How do I fix PVC banners in the paddock or garage?
Most teams use cable ties, bungee cords or rope through the eyelets. On pit walling or café barriers, small bungee loops work well. On fences, cable ties are usually the quickest method. If you have a specific structure in mind, tell us how you plan to fix the banner and we can advise on eyelet spacing.
How long will a motorsport PVC banner last?
With sensible handling, storage and fixing, a PVC banner will usually last multiple seasons of club and national racing. Avoid folding it sharply, do not drag it across abrasive surfaces, and make sure it is dry before long-term storage to get the best life from the material and print.
