Top 5 Ways to Hang your Banner?

Ball Bungees - We always recommend hanging our banners with ball bungees, it is our preferred hanging method. Ball bungees are simply the best option for hanging standard size banners. These bungees are designed to give the banner the hold and flexibility to make sure it stays in place and never gets damaged. This is because, if you are using all provided grommets, tension will be evenly distributed throughout the banner. Improving performance in windy conditions and extended use. Zip Ties - Zip ties are an efficient alternative to using ball bungees. They will have enough of a hold to ensure the banner stays in place. We still recommend using zip ties in all grommets to ensure an even distribution of tension across the banner. Pole Pockets - Pole pockets are a fantastic way to hang your banner if you have more control over where your banner will be hung. Using a pole or dowel, you can easily slip your banner onto the pole and have a perfect amount of tension across your banner. Using Bolts and Washers - Bolts, screws and washers are a good choice if there are limited alternatives. We never recommend punching the screws or bolts directly into the banner material, but instead to insert them into all the grommets provided. String Through Grommets - We do not recommend this option if installing your banner outside, but string is a good alternative if hanging options are limited. With string, you can hang your banner from more improvised holders. We always recommend applying an even distribution of tension throughout the banner.

Please note our acceptable size variance is up to 1/2 inch per linear foot (ex. A 5' banner could finish with a 2.5" variance). If your banner needs to be precise, please ask your Customer Service Representative to discuss your specific application.

Banner Finishing Options

Finishing Options

Each banner comes with a variety of finishing options to help you install your banner.

Hems & Grommets	Reinforced Hems	Reinforced Corners	Pole Pockets

Is a one inch fold, heat welded hem with grommets typically added every 2 -4 feet.	A thick weblike material (similar to what is used in seatbelts) is heat welded to the perimeter of the banner to provide additional reinforcment.	A triangular piece of vinyl is applied to the corners of the banner and secured with grommets to improve both the strength and durability in the corners of the banner.	A pocket or sleve added to the banner to allow for a dowel or pole to run through it for support. When selecting pole pockets there will be no increase in the finishged size of the banner.

Pole Pocket Finishing Options

2" Pole Pockets - fits a pole 3/4" in diameter
3" Pole Pockets - fits a pole 1 1/4" in diameter
4" Pole Pockets - fits a pole 1 1/2" in diameter

By selecting pole pockets, there will be no increase in the finished size of your banner. Pole pockets can either be 2", 3" or 4". We don't recommend having any text or images within 3 inches of the edge of the banner when you select pole pockets.

**Pole Pockets are not available with reinforced hems or corners. Reinforced corners are not available on banners under 2 feet in height.

You guys at Banners.com are awesome. This is the 3^rd year in a row I have used your business to make banners for our soccer program and you never disappoint. Fastest service I have ever used. Completed my order on a Tuesday at 7:00 and the banners were shipped by mid-day on Tuesday and at my door by Friday. Your quality is amazing. The banners I have done hang on the fence at the soccer field to represent the businesses that donate to our program. I have ones that I had made three years ago that are still in great shape. No rips, tears or loose/broken grommets. I’m never going anywhere else. Oh ya, and your prices are amazing. Brian.

I submitted a request for a gender reveal banner that was Wheels or Heels themed with motorcycle and heels clipart. I got contacted because my clipart was too small so when blown up it would get extremely blurry. They were able to create what I wanted similar to mine with their own clipart and when it arrived in the mail last week in was amazing. I cannot wait to hang it up at my party, it looks so cool! The whole process was very easy, cost effective and customer service was great. I will return for any other banners I might need in the future for sure!

More About Standard Size Banners Return to Top

From 1 to 50 feet long, these banners are completely customizable for any job, operation, or event. These standard size banners are the bread and butter of the advertising industry.

When you get started on your order, you can choose between three vinyl banner material options: heavy-duty 18oz vinyl, 13oz premium matte, or 13oz premium gloss. The extra heavy-duty 18oz option offers increased durability and resilience that's perfect for those who want to display custom outdoor banners for several days or even several consecutive weeks. The 13oz options still provide a great deal of durability and they're preferred by those who will be displaying them indoors or in outdoor locations where the weather isn't a major concern. If you intend to use your banner indoors, then we suggest ordering it in the matte finish. We suggest this option because interior lighting tends to glare or glint off of gloss finished banners. However, both finishing options are perfectly suitable for indoor and outdoor use. If you choose to create a banner with mesh or fabric material, you will be redirected to the corresponding pages.

The standard size banners that customers commonly purchased are 6’x3’ (6 feet wide and 3 feet high), 4’x2’, 8’x4’, but you can print a banner in a range of sizes from 1’x1’ all the way up to 8’x50’. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to our customer service team and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Installation & Product Care FAQs

How do I Install my Standard Size Banners?

Hems and grommets or pole pockets can be added to your vinyl banner. We recommend placing ball bungees on ALL grommets provided if you select hems and grommets. This will spread the tension uniformly, resulting in a banner that is as clean and wrinkle-free as possible.

Our pole pockets are another way to hang your new banner. There will be no increase in the end size of your banner if pole pockets are chosen. Pole pockets come in three sizes: 2", 3", and 4". When choosing pole pockets, we don't recommend placing any text or images within 3 inches of the banner's edge.

Pole Pocket Finishing Options

2" Pole Pockets - fits a pole 3/4" in diameter
3" Pole Pockets - fits a pole 1 1/4" in diameter
4" Pole Pockets - fits a pole 1 1/2" in diameter

For more information on how to hang your banner using ball bungees please visit our how to hang a banner page or check us out on YouTube.

How Do I Properly Store my Standard Size Banner?

When your custom holiday banner is not being used, make sure that you roll the banner up. Keep the printed side out when you roll the banner to protect the inks. To prevent the banner from bending, you should keep the box it was shipped in and store it in there. You should also keep your banner out of extreme heat. Avoid windows or other direct sunlight.

How do I Remove Wrinkles from my Standard Size Banners?

After receiving your vinyl banner, you may notice it has some creases or wrinkles. This is due to it being rolled up and stored for shipping. If you wish to get rid of these unsightly wrinkles from your custom vinyl banner, we recommend two options.

The first and least hands-on approach is to simply unroll your vinyl banners and place them in the hot sun for a few hours and the wrinkles should come out.

The second option is more of a hands-on approach, and we recommend using a clothing steamer with a refillable water tank. Simply just use the steamer much like you would with a piece of clothing and this steamer should take the wrinkles right out!
