Banner Frame Buyers Guide
What are banner frames?
Banner frames are a type of outdoor promotional display that is a popular choice for events and retail use. These displays have a metal or fibreglass frame with a printed graphic attached. Stretch fabrics and elastic bungees keep the printed graphic taut and allow it to flex in the wind. They offer a flexible way of displaying printed banners and graphics temporarily when wall or other hanging structures are not available.
Both the banner frame and the printed graphic are robust and weather-proof for use outdoors in all weather conditions. This makes them a common sight at events such as music festivals, marathons, sports events, country shows, and more.
What are some common uses for banner frames?
With their attention-grabbing graphics, durability, and variety of forms, banner frames can be used for a wide variety of purposes. They are tough enough for use in all weather conditions and designed to be easily transported and quick to set up. Some common uses include:
- Sports events and races – including marathons, sports days, pitch-side advertising, fun runs, cycle races, school tournaments, and golf events.
- Roadside advertising – banner frames are an excellent choice to display your message and branding along roadsides, forecourts, in car parks, outside schools and colleges, etc.
- Outdoor promotions at events – this includes promotions and branding at festivals, outdoor concerts, country shows, carnivals, street markets, and more.
- Retail – banners can be used for high-visibility in-store advertising, pop-up promotions, product launches, in shopping centres, etc.
- Promotional events – including trade shows, conferences, exhibitions, and expos.
- Hospitality – banners can be used to surround café terraces, outside pubs, in hotel foyers, and for restaurant advertising.
Benefits of banner frames
- Low-cost/high-impact – With a simple and effective design, banner frames are a great value way to display eye-catching promotional banners at events.
- Full-colour hi-res graphics – Our banner frames offer superb print quality, with the ability to accurately reproduce detailed and vibrantly colourful designs.
- Tough and resilient construction – Non-corroding aluminium frames and excellent build quality makes banner frames suitable for extended use outdoors.
- Weather-proof graphics – Dye-sublimation printing and special outdoor latex inks ensure graphics do not fade or run in the sun or rain.
- Updateable and reusable – It is easy to change and update the graphics of these banner frames, giving them excellent longevity and helping to reduce waste.
- Easy assembly and transportation – Banner frames use lightweight materials and have a simple assembly, which makes them a great choice for use at events.
Different types of banner frames
Banner frames are available in a few different styles suitable for different uses and durations. These can roughly classified as follows:
Portable freestanding
These A-frame banner frames are lightweight and compact when disassembled, which makes them easy to transport to promotional events. Banners can be single or double-sided, with a choice of widths and heights.
Semi-permanent freestanding
For longer-term applications, heavy duty A-frame banner frames are available. These models have reinforced aluminium frames that make them sufficiently robust to be left outside for extended periods.
Pop up portable
Pop up portable banner frames use a fibreglass frame as their structure, with the printed graphic held taut by the elasticity of the frame. These pop up banners are super quick and easy to assemble, often in a matter of minutes. There are a wide range of dynamic shapes for pop ups, including oval, circular, vertical, and arch banners.
Wall-mounted banners
Wall-mounted banner frames are often used for longer-term installations. A metal frame is attached to the outside wall of a building or other structure, and PVC banners are suspended within the frame using elastic bungees. These banners are a popular choice for advertising festivals, art exhibitions, superstores, etc.
Other banner frames
Some other types of banner frames include car forecourt banners with drive-on bases, café terrace barrier banner frames, arch event backdrops, and more.
How to choose the right banner frame for you
Banner frame sizes
Deciding on the right size of banner for your event or location depends on the space available and the distance at which people will be viewing the banner. Most models offer a choice of widths and dimensions. A-frame banner frames come in widths from 1.5 to 3 metres. Pop ups banners offer a variety of dimensions. For example, our Horizontal Pop Up Double Sided Advertising Banner Frame comes in 5 sizes, from 0.7 x 1.2 m to 2.75 x 1.35 m. Wall-mounted banner frames can have a set size or be made to custom dimensions.
Banner frame assembly
All our banner frames are designed to make the setting up process as quick and hassle-free as possible.
- Aluminium framed banner frames have sections that clip together, with no tools required. The printed graphic is then attached using elastic bungees and the metal eyelets in the banner.
- Pop-up portable banners are even quicker to assemble, with the banner quickly springing into shape - similarly to a pop up tent. Pop ups are ideal for events where the prep time is limited or when you need to move between a number of different locations.
- Wall-mounted banners have a metal frame that comes in sections. Once the frame has been assembled, it can be screwed to the wall and then the printed banner is attached using bungee cords.
Printing and graphic options
The custom printed graphics for banner frames can be single or double-sided, with double-sided banners good for situations where the banner is viewed from all angles. A variety of materials are used in banner frames. Our aluminium A-frame banners and wall-mounted banners use a robust 510gsm PVC that is fire rated for use in public. Pop-up banners use a lightweight fire-resistant stretch polyester fabric for the graphics.
At Discount Displays, we produce all our banners using dye-sublimation printing, which involves diffusing the inks into the material for more durable and longer-lasting graphics. High-quality latex inks ensure that the banner graphics are weatherproof for use outdoors in the elements. UV- and water-resistant inks mean that banners stay sharp and vibrant with prolonged exposure to sunlight and rain.
State-of-the-art large format digital printers have made it affordable to produce stunning quality banners that include a range of image types, such as hi-res photos, computer graphics, text, and other elements. Six-colour printing means there are no restrictions on the number of colours that can be printed on banners, allowing the creation of attention-grabbing and vividly colourful designs. We can precisely match the colours of your branding and business, helping you project a unified brand identity.
