Design Tips for Pole Banners
- Stack short lines. On a narrow banner, two or three words per line keeps the letters large.
- Put the main message near the top, where it’s seen first from the street.
- Ordering a vertical size? Design it online in the taller size, or for a Custom Banner order the shorter side first (3x6 for a 6x3) and upload your vertical file.
- Size the text for the distance. Each size page shows how far its headline can be read.

Yes. Order the quantity you need of the same design, or add each design to your cart separately for a set with different designs.
How fast can I get a pole banner?
