Hi folks -
I'm wondering if any of you happen to know of a true eco-banner fabric and company who makes them. Meaning large (3 x 6'+) banners for sponsors and boothing at events - usually printed on nasty plastic with metal grommets. Does anybody know of a company that, for example, makes them from bioplastic or recycled plastic + recycled metal grommets, printed with something like soy ink..?
Thanks,
Jon

Hello Jon,
I worked with Don Jackson of Green Banners http://greenbanners.com/ for a green business conference I co-produced, and he is quite committed to finding non-toxic solutions and reusable/modifiable approaches to signage. It is also a Co-Op America Certified Green Business.
Cheers,
Deborah
We have used the company Banner Creations, Inc. http://www.bannercreations.com/fabric_products.html for eco-friendly banners and have been happy with the results. We have found the retractable banners especially easy to use and long-lasting.
Good luck.

I recommend the Beehive Collective for banners - a cool socially conscious organization that prints on recycled plastic fibers instead of PVC. The prices are very reasonable. Check them out at http://www.beehivecollective.org/english/custombanners.htm.

An eco-banner printing? Hmmm, Im not quite sure if our trusted printing services have it. But you can inquire about it here: http://www.slbprinting.com. Im one of their valued costumer; they are in fact our official banner printing service provider.
