Marching banners can be made using two different methods: Sewn and appliqued method using nylon fabric, and the dye-printed method using dye-sublimation ink on polyester fabric.  Most of the banners we produce currently are dye-printed.    

Both methods result in beautiful, colorful and long-lived banners. Using either method, the banners will last a lifetime given normal usage and storage.  The sewn and appliqued banners are made of colorfast nylon fabric, whereas the polyester fabric banners are dyed with colorfast dye-sublimation ink. Holding the banner in your hands or very close up you will see a visual difference in the surface of the banner depending on which method is used. Close up you will see the applique surface difference relative to the dye-print surface. However, at the visual distance of over 12' or more you can't tell the visual difference in the two methods. When the banner is in actual use in a parade or when placed on a stand game-side or when displayed on the stage in your auditorium, at visual distance, the viewer will see a beautiful, well-constructed banner and will be  unable to determine the method of construction.

Since sewn and appliqued marching banners are generally more expensive to produce than the dye-printed marching banners, this economy of the specific method may influence your buying decision.
