Printed grommeted banners are produced by applying thin grommets to banner material prior to introduction to a printing device, the grommets bei ng sufficiently thin to permit feeding into the printing device. The grommets have a top flange and a barrel portion extending downwardly from the top flange, the barrel portion being crushed against the top flange to capture banner material between the crushed barrel portion and the top flange, the grommet and banner material having a combined thickness not exceeding 0.075 inches when so crushed. Preferably, the grommet captures a double layer of the banner material, and the grommet and banner material have a combined thickness in the range of 0.045 - 0.075 inches, 0.054 inches being a specifi c example. Alternatively, the grommet may capture only a single layer of material and the grommet and banner material may have a combined thickness in the range of 0.025 - 0.035 inches.
