SIGNS & MORE, INC. BLOG - Sign, Banner & Vehicle Graphics Facts & Information

You’ve purchased your banner and brought it to your place of installation.  Now – what do you do with it? 

All of our banners are hemmed and fitted with grommets (those little metal hole things).  These grommets are your “tools” for hanging your banner. 

Post Hung Banners 

Signs & More can provide posts on which to hang your banner OR you can purchase your own at any home improvement store.  The steel posts with the ridges/notches (WITHOUT holes) provide the strongest anchors for hanging a banner.  Get some long and short zip ties too.

Graduation Banner

1.  Lay banner out on the ground.

2.  Place posts approximately 6 – 8 inches away from each side of the banner. Best to use a fence post driver to make easy work of getting posts into the ground.  MAKE SURE FLANGES ARE PERPENDICULAR TO BANNER.

3.  Use 4 long zip ties (banner) and 4 short zip ties (post). 

4.  Attach one short zip tie around the top of each post in between the top 2 ridges/notches.

5.  Thread a long zip tie through the top right and left grommets of the banner. 

6.  Then thread the zip ties through the zip ties in #4.  Do one side and then the other.  NOTE: DO NOT TIGHTEN BANNER ZIP TIES UNTIL ALL 4 ATTACHED.

7.  Repeat steps 4 – 7 on the bottom right and left of each banner. 

8.  Pull zip ties tight so the banner is displayed without wrinkles.

Your banner should remain stable this way for several weeks or months.  If it loosens, just further tighten the zip ties.

Building Attached Banners

Building Banner

Banners that are attached to a building need to be done with nails/screws and FENDER WASHERS (large) that will work best with the surface it is to be attached.  When hanging the banner, make sure the banner material is pulled tight to avoid gathering/wrinkling.  You want to make sure that your banner message can be read!
