HDPE banner and Tyvek are related, but not the same thing. Both are made from polyethylene, but they’re manufactured differently and perform differently.
⚖️ Key Differences
| Feature | HDPE Banner (Woven) | Tyvek (Spunbonded) |
|---|---|---|
| Strength | Stronger, better for tension | Strong but can stretch/crease |
| Surface | Smooth (good for large graphics) | Paper-like, less vivid printing |
| Flexibility | More fabric-like, banner feel | Crinkles like paper |
| Common Uses | Outdoor banners, fence wraps | Envelopes, wristbands, short-term signage |
| Recyclability | 100% recyclable | 100% recyclable |
-
HDPE banners are designed as a vinyl alternative for large outdoor signage.
-
Tyvek is lighter and more paper-like, great for temporary signs, posters, and wraps.
👉 So: Tyvek is made from HDPE, but not all HDPE banners are Tyvek.
