When it comes to outdoor signage in high-wind environments, durability and visibility must go hand-in-hand. That’s why the University of Arizona football program turned to mesh banners—a smart and reliable signage solution for their stadium. With frequent gusty weather and intense game-day energy, mesh banners proved to be the ideal choice for both safety and performance.
What Are Mesh Banners?
Mesh banners are made from perforated vinyl material that allows air to pass through. This design reduces wind resistance, preventing the banner from becoming a dangerous sail in blustery conditions. Unlike traditional vinyl banners, mesh banners stay intact, wrinkle-free, and securely mounted even in unpredictable weather.
Why the University of Arizona Chose Mesh Banners
The University of Arizona football team needed outdoor signage that would withstand strong winds without sacrificing quality or brand impact. Mesh banners offered the perfect blend of strength, longevity, and full-color print capability. Whether installed along fences, railings, or stadium walls, the graphics remained sharp, vibrant, and visible to fans from every angle.
Advantages of Mesh Banners in Windy Conditions
- Wind-Resistant: The small holes in mesh banners allow wind to pass through, reducing strain and extending the life of the banner.
- Durable Construction: Built for outdoor use, mesh banners can handle extreme sunlight, rain, and, of course, wind.
- Lightweight Yet Strong: Easier to install and transport than heavier rigid signs, but still strong enough to stay put.
- High Visibility: Despite the perforations, full-color designs come through with excellent clarity and brightness.
Graphic Impact’s Role in the Project
As the University’s trusted partner for large-format printing, Graphic Impact designed and produced mesh banners specifically tailored to the unique demands of Arizona Stadium. From custom sizes to school-branded graphics, every banner was crafted with precision and installed for maximum exposure and safety.
Mesh Banner Placement Around the Stadium
Mesh banners were strategically placed along chain-link fences, stadium entrances, and high-traffic perimeter zones. Their flexible design made it easy to wrap them around curved surfaces and irregular shapes—something that would be far more difficult with traditional signage materials.
Other Ideal Uses for Mesh Banners
While perfect for college football stadiums, mesh banners are also widely used for:
- Construction site fencing
- Outdoor concerts and festivals
- Sporting events and athletic fields
- School campuses and parking lots
