When it comes to outdoor signage, the way your banner is finished is just as important as what’s printed on it. Whether you’re setting up at a festival, construction site, or large-scale event, you need signage that not only looks sharp but stays secure and intact through wind, weather, and repeated installs.
That’s where Keder edging or stainless steel eyelets bring the finished product together.
What Is Keder Edge?
Keder edge is a premium finishing technique that allows banners to slide neatly into an aluminium track. The edge of the banner is reinforced with a flexible core, creating a tight, wrinkle-free fit that looks clean and professional.
It’s a favourite for building wraps, large event signage, and reusable displays because it offers:
- Smooth, tensioned presentation with no sagging
- Quick install and removal
- Compatibility with frames and truss systems
- Long-term reusability without damage to the print
In short, it’s the detail that makes your signage look expertly finished, not just functional.
Why Use Stainless Steel Eyelets?
Eyelets are the anchor points of your signage, they handle the tension, the wind, and the weight. That’s why stainless steel is our go-to. Unlike plastic or brass, stainless steel eyelets resist corrosion, stay strong under pressure, and hold their shape over countless installations.
They’re not just tough, they look the part too. The polished finish adds a subtle professional edge that complements premium mesh or vinyl.
Stainless steel eyelets offer:
- 💪 Superior durability – built to handle wind, sun, and rain without failure
- 🌧️ Corrosion resistance – perfect for outdoor and coastal environments
- 🔒 Reliable strength – prevents tearing at stress points
- ✨ A clean, professional finish – enhancing both look and longevity
Keder + Stainless Steel: The Ideal Pair
When combined, Keder edge and stainless steel eyelets give you the strongest and smartest signage finish possible.
Together, they:
- Create a tight, professional presentation that stays smooth and secure
- Allow easy install and removal without stretching or tearing
- Deliver long-term value thanks to reusability and minimal maintenance
- Offer peace of mind in challenging outdoor conditions
It’s the difference between a banner that flaps and frays and one that performs beautifully from day one to pack-down.
