Question - Do you still need the hem on banners if you use Holdons?
   

   
Answer - Often not, because Holdons do not puncture the fabric and the gripping area is spread. Installing an eyelet actually weakens the area where it's installed. The performance with traditional eyelets on non-hemmed material is generally unsatisfactory. Do a comparative test yourself.
 
    Question How strong are they? QuestionHow much grip do they have?
   
    Answer The body of the Mini is load tested to 45 kgs and the Maxi 100 kgs. Answer The holding efficiency is tested on 650/700 coated vinyl fabric. The Mini holds to a minimum loading capacity of 45kgs and the Maxi, 100 Kgs. This may vary slightly from fabric to fabric.

 

   
     
    Question Will the standard Mini and Maxi grip all fabrics with the same efficiency? Question Will they tear the fabric in extreme conditions?
       
    Answer For practical purposes yes, with the exception of
when they are being used on polyester or other 'hard' fabric.
The Holdon™ on these fabrics needs the 'friction insert'
provided with each Mini – this ensures exceptional griping efficiency.
Answer This very much depends on the quality of the fabric. However, our experience is that the stress on the fabric when using a Holdon is considerably less than with traditional eyelets. When used on exceptionally tough fabric the Holdon™ will tend to absorb the shock loading imposed by high wind. The larger gripping area of the Holdon™ helps to spread the load.
       
    Question How many times can I re-use Holdons?  
       
    Answer - Holdons are made from a nylon/GRP polymer mix which gives them great strength and plastic memory. Providing the Holdon™ has not been put through long term repeated extreme stressing, you can use them over and over again. The best test is to fix one on some fabric and put the maximum manual loading you can on it. Their enduring gripping power is amazing.
