Q: What are Street Banners?
A: Street banners are big, weather-resistant signage meant for outdoor use that are usually strung from utility poles or across streets to promote events, brands, or community projects. Avenue or pole banners are adaptable, often vinyl-based marketing solutions that improve urban landscapes while providing high-visibility, cost-effective messaging to walkers and automobiles.
Q: What materials are best?
A: For outdoor use, 13-oz to 18-oz heavy-duty vinyl is recommended for durability, while mesh vinyl is preferred for high-wind areas to allow air to flow through.
Q: Do they withstand weather?
A: Yes, they are designed with UV-resistant inks and reinforced, heat-welded hems for water and tear resistance.
Q: How long do they last?
A: With proper installation, they can last 3 to 5 years, though this varies based on location and weather.
Q: What is the ideal size for a street banner?
A: Standard street pole banners are often 24″ to 36″ wide and 48″ to 96″ tall. Over-the-road banners can vary significantly but are typically 20 to 45 feet long.
Q: How do I make the text readable?
A: Follow the “1 inch per 10 feet” rule: for every 10 feet of viewing distance, the letters should be at least 1 inch tall. Use bold, sans-serif fonts and high-contrast colors (e.g., black on white or dark blue on yellow).
Q: Can they be double-sided?
A: Yes, double-sided banners allow for different, or reinforced, messaging on each side for maximum visibility.
Q: How are they installed?
A: Generally secured with grommets, often recommended every 2 feet for standard applications.
Q: How do I hang or mount the banner?
A: We provide a variety of hanging solutions, including wind flaps for further resistance and laminating for additional protection. More mounting hanging accessories are also available.
Q: What are grommets, hems, and pole pockets?
A: Grommets: Metal rings reinforced in the corners (and sides) to secure the banner with zip ties or ropes.
Hems: Folded, reinforced edges that prevent fraying.
Pole Pockets: Sleeves at the top/bottom for hanging with poles.
