Answer:
While it's kind of a broad question, I'm pretty sure you are talking about the vinyl banners that people hang up at parties or events. Something that might read "Happy Birthday Peter", "Good Riddance John" or "Block Party This Friday".
If very short term usage is required they could be paper or thin plastic. But if these are the kind of banners that we produce - intended for more long term use or for a keepsake, they would most likely be made out of an premium outdoor durable 13oz vinyl banner with folded edges (called a hem) and grommets (the metal rings which allow it to be fastened to a wall or fence.
Such a banner can be used over and over in all kinds of weather for many years. These are the same type of vinyl banners that you would see at large sporting events (such as a motocross race) lining the edges of the track with sponsor logos on them.
While the paper or cheap plastic banners could be bought pre-made from a store, a design-it-yourself full color vinyl banner can be created and bought from our online store.

There is a chance that you were asking about Political Party Banners, even if that was the case, the same information would apply. More than likely a political banner would be a more durable banner intended for use in a crowd outdoors.
