FAQ

Common Questions

What is the difference between Large and Mini PowerTabs?
The Large PowerTab (BAN 011/BAN 014) measures 2 1/3″ × 2 1/8″ and is designed for heavy-duty banners, outdoor installations, and high-stress mounting points. The Mini PowerTab (BAN 012/BAN 013) measures 1 1/4″ × 1½″ and is ideal for lighter banners, indoor applications, and areas where a smaller footprint is preferred. Both sizes hold up to 150 lbs per corner.
Do I need the PowerPunch tool to use PowerTabs?
Yes — PowerTabs use a pre-formed neck loop and require a punch to create the hanging hole. The PowerPunch or EZ-Punch tools are designed to cut a clean hole through the neck loop in a single squeeze. This takes under two seconds per tab and ensures a clean, professional result without fraying or tearing the banner material.
When should I choose Clear vs. White PowerTabs?
Choose Clear PowerTabs (BAN 014/BAN 013) when your banner has artwork that extends to the edges or corners and you want the tab to be as unobtrusive as possible. White PowerTabs (BAN 011/BAN 012) are more economical and work great when tabs will be placed in solid-color or border areas. Both clear and white versions have identical adhesive and mechanical specifications.
What surfaces do PowerTabs bond to?
PowerTabs bond to vinyl, mesh, and most rigid banner substrates. For best results, apply to a clean, dry surface at temperatures above 50°F. Allow the adhesive to dwell for 24 hours before applying full load for maximum bond strength. On textured or low-energy surfaces, pairing with PowerTape along the hem will improve overall performance.
How many PowerTabs do I need per banner?
For most banners, install a PowerTab at every corner plus one every 2–3 feet along the top edge. For banners over 6 feet tall, add tabs along the sides as well. For large outdoor banners in high-wind areas, pair PowerTabs with MegaTape along the hem for the full wind-tunnel-tested 108 MPH system. A standard 3×8 ft banner typically uses 4-8 tabs.

What Sign Pros Are Saying

★★★★★

“We switched to PowerTabs three years ago and haven’t looked back. Our shop does hundreds of banners a month — the time savings alone paid for the product in the first week. The holding strength is incredible for something that takes two seconds to apply.”

★★★★★

“We used to spend 20 minutes per banner setting grommets. With PowerTabs and the PowerPunch we’re done in under two minutes. The 108 MPH wind test is not a gimmick — we’ve had banners survive some brutal weather that would have torn grommets out.”

I used PowerTabs and PowerTape to repair an expensive banner damaged by wind. We get Santa Ana winds up to 70 mph here and the product held up extremely well!

I tested PowerTabs on a banner at a baby shower in rainy weather and was amazed at their strength. Outstanding product that performs when it counts.
