We install each grommet approximately 1 inch off from the edge (to the center of the grommet). The smooth inside edges of our metal grommets ensure that in most cases, the cord or rope passing through the hole will not chaff as much as other usages and therefore has lower risk of cutting whatever is used to hang the sign. They measure 3/4" on the outside with a 1/2" diameter hole. The #2 nickel grommets we use have proven to be extremely durable. Each grommet holds the vinyl securely and helps prevent the holes from spreading or tearing the banner edges off.

The “back” or “unseen” side of the fabric is the side that is not meant to face outward where other people can see it.Finally, press down on the cloth with a hot iron for 15 seconds.
