Outdoor Banner Styles & Types
Outdoor banners are constructed of durable vinyl and come in a variety of media including 13 oz., 18 oz. reinforced vinyl or 8 oz. mesh. They can be single- or double-sided and printed to any size. Banners can be finished with hems, grommets and pole pockets depending on how you plan to hang the banner. Webbing and wind slits can be added to reinforce your waterproof banner when needed.
Vinyl is ideal for outdoor banners due to its following properties:
- Weather-resistant*
- Fade-resistant
- Cost-effective
- Waterproof
- Easy to clean
Eco-friendly and recyclable options are also available.
*Although vinyl is essentially weather-resistant, we recommend taking down outdoor banners in extreme weather conditions.
Installing Your Outdoor Banner
Typically, outdoor banners are held in place using bungee cords, zip ties or lines attached using the grommets in the banner’s hem. Alternatively, pole pockets can be sewn into the finished banner to suspend it using horizontal or vertical poles. Custom hardware and arm brackets are available for avenue or light pole banners.
Outdoor Banner Stands
There are various sturdy outdoor banner stands to fit your design needs. Popular styles include:
- A-frame: This is a triangular banner stand frame that comes in numerous sizes.
- In-ground: These types of stands consist of a lightweight metal frame that can be planted in grass, dirt, rocks or other forms of terrain.
- Wall frame: Typically made from aluminum, wall frames support a single-sided outdoor banner.
In addition to the types of frames previously mentioned, we also offer teardrop event banners, avenue banner brackets, light pole banners and mesh and vinyl banners.
Single-Sided vs. Double-Sided
Outdoor banners can be designed for single- or double-sided use. Single-sided outdoor banners are ideal for wall signs and A-frame banner stands. Double-sided banners work well with wall frames on glass windows or in-ground outdoor banner stands.
Both single and double-sided outdoor banners can be printed in all three sizes.
