Banner production
From printed material to a finished banner
Banner production does not stop after printing. After the print is finished, the material still needs to be cut, welded or hemmed, eyeleted, tensioned, rewound, packed and prepared for delivery.
This is often where time is lost. Banners need to be moved, positioned, corrected and handled between different production steps. For small banners, a standalone machine may be enough. For medium-size banners and higher volumes, the full finishing process becomes more important.
Fepatex helps sign makers, print companies and technical textile producers improve this part of production. From eyelets, rubbers, spanners and finishing products to eyelet machines, welding solutions, roll handling and complete workflow solutions.
Banner Production
For standard banners and daily sign production
Banner production covers the daily finishing process for banners, mesh banners and printed textile products. After printing, the material usually moves through cutting, welding or hemming, eyeleting, tensioning and rewinding.
For small banners, a standalone machine or simple workstation can be enough. For medium-size banners up to around 3 metres, the process behind the product becomes more important. These banners are often not finished in one single step, but move through several finishing stations.
Common production problems
In many sign production environments, the printer is not the bottleneck. The delay often starts after printing, when banners need to be moved, measured, welded, eyeleted and rolled by hand. If cutting, welding and eyeleting are not positioned logically, operators spend too much time handling the material instead of finishing the product.
Fepatex helps improve banner production by combining the right products, machines and workflow setup. This can be a standalone eyelet machine, a welding solution, a cutting table or a complete finishing workflow with roll handling and rewinding. The goal is simple: less manual handling, cleaner finishing and a more predictable production flow.
Cutting
Rail cutters, worktables and preparation tools help create a clean starting point before welding, eyeleting or packing. Controlled cutting and measuring reduce correction work later in the process and make it easier to keep banner production consistent.

Welding
Welding solutions are used for hems, reinforced edges, overlap seams, tunnel hems and keder applications. For PVC banners and technical fabrics, a good welding setup helps create stronger edges and a cleaner finish before the banner is eyeleted or mounted.

Eyelets & eyelet machines
Banner eyelets, washers and eyelet machines create reliable fixing points in the finished product. Depending on volume and format, this can be done with manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic machines for faster and more repeatable finishing quality.

Rewinding
The Roll Master is Fepatex’ rewinding solution for finished banners. After cutting, welding and eyeleting, the banner can be rolled up in a controlled and consistent way. This reduces manual handling and helps prepare the product for packing, storage or transport.

XXL Printing
For oversized banners, building wraps and large printed textiles
XXL printing is about large-format products such as building wraps, façade banners and oversized printed textiles. These products often contain many square metres of material and are difficult to process on a standard table.
In many cases, finishing takes place on the floor or in a large open workspace. The material must be welded or hemmed, reinforced and provided with eyelets or other fixing points around the edges.
Common production problems
With XXL products, the size of the material creates the main challenge. Large fabrics are difficult to move, position and keep flat during finishing. A standard machine setup is not always practical, because the machine often needs to move to the material instead of the material being moved to the machine.
Fepatex offers flexible finishing solutions for XXL production. This includes lowered or mobile eyelet machines for floor-based eyeleting, floor welding solutions such as the Miller Weldmaster Triad, fixed welding stations such as the Miller T300 and heavy-duty finishing products for large outdoor applications. The right setup depends on the workspace, material size and finishing method.
Floor eyeleting
Lowered or mobile eyelet machines are suitable for large fabrics that are processed on the floor. They allow operators to place eyelets around oversized banners without forcing the material onto a fixed machine table.

Floor welding
Floor welding solutions, such as the Miller Weldmaster Triad, support flexible welding directly around large fabrics. This is useful for overlap seams, hems and tunnel hems where the product size makes a fixed table setup less practical.

All-in Solutions
For long rolls and automated banner finishing
All-in solutions are designed for companies that process long rolls, mesh banners or repeated production runs. In these workflows, manual unwinding, eyeleting, cutting, hemming and rewinding can become the slowest part of production.
Not every automated system does the same. A roll-to-roll solution such as the GM2000 is focused on unwinding, placing eyelets on both long sides and rewinding the material. A broader all-in solution, such as the HG50, is used when cutting and hemming also need to be part of the automated process.
Common production problems
With long rolls, the challenge is repetition and control. Every metre of material must move through the process with the same tension, spacing and finishing quality. When this is done manually, operators spend a lot of time correcting the material, checking eyelet distance and moving rolls between separate machines
Fepatex helps companies choose the right level of automation. For roll-to-roll eyeleting, the GM2000 can unwind the material, place eyelets on both sides and rewind it again. For a more complete roll-to-banner workflow, an all-in solution such as the HG50 can combine more finishing steps, including cutting and hemming
GM2000 Roll-to-Roll
The GM2000 is designed for automatic unwinding, eyeleting on both long sides and controlled rewinding. It is suitable for long banners, mesh rolls and repeated production where consistent eyelet spacing and stable material flow are important.

HG50 All-in Solution
The HG50 is suitable when more finishing steps need to be combined in one workflow. Instead of only eyeleting and rewinding, this type of solution can support roll-to-banner production with cutting, hemming, eyeleting and controlled output.
