Street Banners

Street banners announce events and welcome visitors from light poles, lampposts, and across main streets. They’re used by cities, downtown associations, chambers of commerce, schools, and event organizers. Every banner is printed in full color on 13 oz matte vinyl for outdoor use.

Finishing for Street Banners

• Pole pockets on the top and bottom for light-pole brackets (see pole pockets).
• Hemmed edges plus grommets for banners hung across a street on cables or ropes.
• Wind slits for across-the-street banners, which catch a lot of wind (single-sided banners only; see wind slits).
• Readable from both sides? Double-sided Custom Banners are available up to 3 ft wide, which suits most pole banners.

Street Banner Wording Ideas

• City and downtown: “Welcome to Downtown,” “Shop Local,” “Happy Holidays from Main Street”

• Schools: “Homecoming Week,” “Congratulations, Graduates”

Design Tips for Street Banners

• Keep it short. Drivers and walkers only see it for a few seconds; aim for 5 to 7 words.
• Size the text for the distance. Each size page shows how far its headline can be read.
• Get permission first. Banners on city poles or across a street usually need approval or a permit from your city.

Street Banner FAQ

Do I need a permit for a street banner?

Usually. Banners on city light poles or hung across a street typically need approval from your city or the property owner. Check before you order.

Do you install street banners or sell hardware?

No. We print the banner with the finishing you choose; installation, cables, and pole brackets come from you or your installer.

How fast can I get a street banner?

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