Event and Festival Banners

PVC banners are the signs that survive a weekend outdoors. A festival uses them on fences and gates, a school fete hangs one at the entrance and a wedding venue hangs one by the driveway. Ours come in six sizes, all 1000mm tall and from 1000mm to 6000mm wide, on PVC vinyl, single sided, with eyelets on all sides at 500mm spacing, from one banner.

A typical use: a community festival orders a banner for the main gate and two for the stage fence. Fix at every eyelet with ties, and plan for wind. Check with the venue or council about hanging banners on fences. Dispatch is 2 to 3 business days after your artwork is approved, depending on the quantity tier. See the PVC banner guide.

Worked example. A school fete committee orders one banner for the main gate and two for the oval fence, with the fete name, date and a thank-you to sponsors. A volunteer ties each banner at every eyelet on the Friday afternoon and takes them down on Sunday. The committee stores the banners and orders new ones only when the date changes.

Weather and fixing. For outdoor events, treat the banner as a sail. Use cable ties at every eyelet, preferably the stronger UV-resistant type, and spread the load across the fence rather than hanging from only two corners. On exposed sites, add a second line of ties through the middle eyelets. If severe weather is forecast, take the banner down or fold it to avoid damage. After the event, roll the banner loosely, keep it dry and store it flat. A banner with a generic message such as 'Welcome' can be reused for future events, so avoid printing a specific date if you plan to keep it.
