Installation Guides 2min Read

Thank you for purchasing a vinyl banner from Signazon.com! We are providing you with the following care and installation instructions to ensure that your banner is properly cared for so that it continues to look extraordinary for its full life.

A vinyl banner can be used in a variety of ways; therefore it can be installed using many different techniques. Below you will find the most-popular techniques for displaying your vinyl banner.

If ordered with the grommets option, vinyl banners are ready-to-hang. Grommets are metal rings that are placed around the edges of the banner approximately every 2 feet for easy, balanced hanging. Grommets allow you to hang your banner using various accessories, such as rope, bungee cords, nails, zip ties, and suction cups.

Hanging with Rope:

Thread a piece of rope through the top row of grommets, leaving equal amounts of rope hanging from each end. Thread another piece of rope through the bottom grommets and tie the ropes to support poles. This process creates an even balance of weight and reduces pressure on the banner.

how to hang a vinyl banner with bungee cords

Hanging with Bungee Cords:

Wrap a bungee cord around each support pole or tree and hook each cord into one of the banner’s corner grommets. This will require at least 4 bungee cords (one for each corner).

how to hang a vinyl banner with zip ties

Hanging with Zip Ties:

Zip ties are best for displaying your banner on a fence. They can be wrapped around the fencing and zip-tied through the grommets.

how to hang a vinyl banner against a building

Hanging Against a Building:

Lay the banner against the side of the building with the grommets flush against it. Place a washer over the grommet and follow it with a screw to secure the banner to the wall of the building. This is best for long-term outdoor banners because it will reduce the amount of force on banner when exposed to outdoor elements.

Hanging on a Banner Stand or Backdrop Frame:

Most banner stands and large backdrop frames will require pole pocket finishing. This option uses stitching to create a pocket along the top, bottom, or sides of the banner. The framing can be run through the pockets of the banner, offering extra stability in a free-standing frame. If using a banner stand, make sure to follow the directions that come with your specific stand.

Using Pole Banners:

Most pole banners require pole pocket finishing and grommets. These pole banners are connected to a street light or pole using light pole brackets. A bracket is run through the top and bottom pole pockets and then hooked through a grommet. Follow your pole bracket’s instructions for the best results.

Storing Your Banners:

When storing your banner, roll it with the graphics facing inward to prevent damage or scratches on the printing. Never fold your banner because it will crease the material. Proper care and handling will improve the longevity of your banner.
