FAQ

Common Questions

What are the EdgeTabs® used for?
Banner Ups EdgeTabs® can be used along the edges of banners when additional fastening points are desired. EdgeTabs® square shape makes them look great along the edges, but also allows you to use them at the corners.
Do EdgeTabs require a punch tool?
Yes — after pressing the EdgeTab firmly to the banner, use a PowerPunch or EZ-Punch to create a clean 3/8″ hanging hole through the tab. The no-neck-loop design means you punch directly through the tab body, which takes under two seconds. No other machinery or tools are required.
Can I use EdgeTabs at corners as well as along edges?
Yes — while EdgeTabs are optimized for edge placement, they work equally well at banner corners. The crystal-clear material and no-neck-loop design make them a versatile single-tab solution for any hang point on the banner.
What surfaces do EdgeTabs bond to?
EdgeTabs bond reliably to vinyl, and most common banner substrates. Apply to a clean, dry surface at temperatures above 50°F for optimal adhesion. For maximum bond strength, allow a 24-hour dwell time before applying full load.
How do they compare to the other PowerTabs®?
Crystal Clear EdgeTabs® are larger and stronger than the Crystal Clear Mini PowerTabs®. They have the handy “neck loop” for light duty or indoor hanging, just like the Large Crystal Clear PowerTabs®, but they are less expensive, so for jobs not requiring the strength of the largest tabs, they can be a great economical alternative – a one size fits all.

What Sign Pros Are Saying

★★★★★ 5.0 out of 5 — 22 reviews
★★★★★

“We switched from PowerTabs to EdgeTabs for all our large outdoor banners. The extra width gives us a lot more peace of mind in high-wind areas. Crystal clear is a must when art bleeds to the edge — clients never complain about visible hardware anymore.”

“EdgeTabs are the only tab I use for our event banner installs. The width means the load spreads out and I’ve never had a tear at the hang point. Installation is three steps — peel, press, punch, done. Customers love that you can’t see them against the graphic.”
