The mesh fabric is made of monofilament that has a cross-sectional diameter of less that 1 mm and is of open-work raschel knit construction. There are fastening holes sewn into each corner and twelve 7/8" diameter magnets sewn into the black border for hanging or mounting purposes. The banner comes packed in an orange colored woven nylon taffeta fabric bag that measures approximately 8 3/4" X 10" and has a 2" flap at the top with a Velcro closure. A 3" black equilateral triangle is printed on the front of the bag. The banner is stated to be used as a safety product.
