  2. Durability: Its robust structure withstands physical wear and tear, making it perfect for banners, outdoor furniture, decals, and more.
  3. Low Maintenance: Easy to clean and maintain, vinyl retains its aesthetic appeal for years with minimal upkeep.
  4. Customizable: Vinyl can be printed, cut, or shaped into diverse forms, making it suitable for everything from signage to stickers.
