Pole Banners

Pole banners hang from light poles and posts, usually as tall, narrow vertical banners with a pole pocket on the top and bottom. They’re popular for downtown streets, campuses, shopping centers, and parking lots. Every banner is printed in full color on 13 oz matte vinyl for outdoor use.

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.

Pole Banner FAQ

Do you sell pole brackets?

No. We print the banner with pole pockets; the brackets and hardware come from your pole or a hardware supplier.

Can I order a set of matching pole banners?

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?

Requesting a design proof may delay your order. Delivery time depends on the shipping method you choose at checkout.
