Supplies for Banner Signs

How to get the supplies you need to take advertising banners on the road

Advertising banners are a must-have for trade shows as well as window displays and outdoor advertising for special events. Good quality vinyl banners should last for years, and you can get the best use out of the investment you make in banners and signs with the right equipment and supplies.

Supplies for banner signs include equipment for transporting signs and setting up a banner display in any location. Which supplies you need to display a banner in a particular location depend largely on whether you plan on using a hanging or a free standing banner.

When shopping for supplies for banner signs, consider the following options:

1. Get stands designed for installation in the ground or on a table top a standing banner display.

2. Use grommets for hanging vinyl banners and signs.

3. Buy a carrying case for traveling with your banners and their stands.

 

Get easy to assemble supplies for stand up banners and signs

Use a retractable stand for your custom banners and signs to display them with ease. Retractable stands are easy to store, transport and assemble quickly on site. Retractable displays also come in a variety of sizes for floor displays and table top displays.
Try: Creative Banner Assemblies sells retracting displays for setting up full- size banners on the floor. Post-Up Stand, in addition to full-size retracting banner display options, also sells table top retracting displays for smaller banners and posters.

Use grommets and tabs for hanging vinyl banners

Most vinyl banners should have the option of getting grommets installed when you buy if you get them custom printed. However, if you have a vinyl banner that does not have grommets, grommets can be easily installed either directly to the banner or using adhesive grommet tabs. Once the grommets are installed, rope or string can be used for hanging.
Try: Sign Stop offers several package options for grommets and other hanging and adhesive supplies you can order online. Kapco Graphic Products also sells Banner Ups grommet tabs and seam reinforcing tape for easy use with vinyl banners.

Keep your banner signs safe with carrying cases for banners and stands

Keep your banner design safe from damage when you travel by using a soft or hard carrying case. Many banner printing companies offer a carrying case when you buy a custom printed banner, but if your banner does not have a carrying case or if you need more room for a stand or other supplies, several options are available.
Try: Use the soft carrying case sold by 4imprint if you just need a basic storage case with shoulder strap. If you need a more protective case and want to carry other supplies in addition to the banner, Benchmark Imaging sells a hard carrying case for multi-purpose storage and travel.

 

• When using custom banner printing services, check with your printing company for any special supplies needed for banner displays. Some new designs for banner signs, such as signs that hang from the ceiling or flag-type signs, require specific stands or hanging supplies that may or may not come with the banner when you buy.
