Banner Buying Tips
Banners vs. Flags
Banners are generally displayed vertically and are secured at the top and bottom with hardware. Flags fly freely and are secured at the top only.
How Large of a Banner Should You Get?
Banner size is determined by pole height. The size of banner best suited for your display depends upon the size of the pole it will be installed on.
Small Banners
Measure approximately 16” to 18” wide, 36” to 45” high.
Low level poles, sometimes called pedestrian poles range from 8 to 18 feet high.
Medium Banners
Measure approximately 16″ to 18″ wide, 48″ to 60″ high.
Mid-level poles range from 18 to 30 feet high.
Large Banners
Measure approximately 24″ to 30″ wide, 72″ to 86″ high.
Large poles, sometimes referred to as highway or utility poles range from 30 feet plus.

How Long Will Our Banners Last?
This depends on how well the banner is installed. Banners that are installed properly and maintained will have the greatest success of longevity. Banners must be installed taut on a bracket system. If banners are bowing from wind, they will wear out faster. Wear shows by creases in the banners, tearing at the grommets, ink cracking.
