I am interested in getting a banner for in the booth that shows my product. Bruce Baker recommends having an image up in the booth to set the tone for the customer.What is the best material for this? I do not want grommets, but want it to hang flat, roll up for storage, be water resistant and cost under $100. What would you recommend?
