Hanging Banners Information
Choose from our extensive range of high-quality hanging banners, custom-printed for indoor or outdoor use. Available in any size and finish, they can be produced with single- or double-sided graphics to suit your requirements.
Our vertical hanging banners can be suspended from walls, ceilings or wires, providing a versatile display solution for exhibitions, venues and retail spaces.
Custom Printed Hanging Banners
Hanging banners provide a highly visible way to promote a brand, advertise an event or display information above busy areas. They make excellent use of otherwise unused vertical space and can be viewed from a distance without taking up valuable floor space.
Banner World produces custom hanging banners for shops, exhibition halls, shopping centres, offices, event venues and outdoor locations. Every banner is printed to order, so you can specify the dimensions, material, artwork, and finishing required for your installation.
We offer PVC and fabric options for short-term promotions, permanent displays and reusable event graphics.
Choose the Right Hanging Banner
The best material and construction will depend on where the banner will be installed, how it will be viewed and whether graphics are required on one or both sides.
Our main hanging banner options include:
- Single-sided PVC hanging banners for durable indoor or outdoor displays.
- Double-sided blockout hanging banners where the message needs to be visible from both directions.
- Double-sided blackback fabric banners for high-quality interior displays.
- Single-sided fabric hanging banners for lightweight indoor graphics.
If you are unsure which option is best, our team can recommend a suitable material and finish based on the banner’s location, size and intended use.
PVC Hanging Banners
PVC is a strong and practical choice for hanging banners that need to withstand regular handling or outdoor conditions. It provides a smooth printable surface for bold colours, clear text and detailed branded graphics.
We print our PVC banners in full colour using a CMYK process. Pole pockets can be welded into the top and bottom edges, allowing you to insert suitable poles or support bars. We can also produce reinforced pockets by combining welding and stitching where additional strength is required.
A single-sided PVC hanging banner is suitable when the design will mainly be viewed from one direction. For displays visible from two sides, a blockout material prevents the image on one face from showing through to the other.
Double-Sided Blockout Hanging Banners
A double-sided blockout banner carries a separate printed design on each face. An opaque central layer blocks light and prevents the two graphics from interfering with one another.
This makes double-sided hanging banners particularly useful in open spaces where people approach from different directions, including exhibition halls, shopping centres, event venues and large retail interiors.
You can print the same artwork on both sides, or each face can display a different message.
Fabric Hanging Banners
Fabric hanging banners offer a softer, more refined appearance and are especially effective for exhibitions, showrooms, offices and retail interiors. Their lighter construction also makes them easy to transport and store between events.
Our single-sided fabric hanging banners feature a printable face with a black backing that helps reduce light transmission and improves the appearance of the displayed graphic.
For visibility from both directions, our double-sided fabric banners use two printed fabric panels positioned back to back. The panels are stitched together to create a professional double-sided display with strong colour reproduction on each face.
You can also explore our wider range of custom printed fabric banners.
Single or Double-Sided Printing
Single-sided hanging banners are normally positioned against a wall or in another location where customers approach from one direction. They provide the most straightforward option for displaying one large graphic or promotional message.
Double-sided banners work well when suspended in an open area. People travelling in either direction can see them, and they’re particularly effective above aisles, entrances, and exhibition spaces.
When choosing between the two, consider:
- Where the banner will be suspended.
- The directions from which it will be viewed.
- Whether natural or artificial light will sit behind it.
- Whether each side needs the same design or different artwork.
Pole Pockets and Hanging Options
Pole pockets provide a clean and secure way to support a hanging banner. A pocket forms along the upper edge so a pole, rail, or support bar can be inserted. A lower pocket can also hold a weighted bar, helping the banner remain straight and reducing movement.
PVC pole pockets are normally welded, while fabric pockets are stitched using industrial sewing equipment. The pocket size can be adapted to suit the diameter of the pole or rail being used.
Depending on the installation, hanging banners may be suspended using poles, wires, ropes, cables or suitable fixing systems. Always select fixings based on the banner’s weight, dimensions, and installation environment.
Where Can Hanging Banners Be Used?
Custom hanging banners are suitable for many advertising and display applications, including:
- Exhibitions, trade shows and conferences.
- Retail stores and shopping centres.
- Event venues and entertainment spaces.
- Universities, colleges and public buildings.
- Offices, reception areas and showrooms.
- Product launches and seasonal promotions.
- Outdoor advertising and branded events.
They can display company branding, directional information, sponsorship messages, event graphics or promotional offers. Because every banner is made to order, the design can be adapted to fit both compact spaces and large, high-level installations.
