Hanging banners – how to hang them properly

More than hanging banner printing, it’s important to place these banners at the right location and securing them in a way that they don’t lose grip or don’t fall off. Here is a banner hanging guide to help you secure banners properly indoors as well as outdoors so that passers-by see the ads you’ve placed and also get influenced. This will also ensure minimal damage to your banners as they remain at a place for years to come and bring you the benefits they’re meant to. Read on to find out how to hang banners indoors and outdoors.



Hanging the banners in an outdoor location

When hanging your banners outside, you will need to consider the weather elements like rain and wind so that you can decide on the type of banners and also fix a location for them. You obviously want your banners to last long and to ensure that the banners will need to be flexible as wind can hamper hanging banners that are too tight. The installation method you choose will need to have more give else the banner will tear if stretched too much or if too much stress is put on it. The manufacturer providing hanging banner printing services to you should know of this requirement beforehand so that they can provide you with flexible cords to hang these banners. Opt for bungee cord when securing banners so that they remain secure for longer period. Other options available for hanging the banners include:

   Velcro

   Zip ties

   Suction cups

Hanging the banners in an indoor location

Banners that need to be hanged indoors will require screws with wide washers that can cover the grommet holes. You can drill the holes using an electric drill but before you do that, do measure the distance between grommets. You should also use a measuring tape to find out the distance properly so that the banner appears straight and does not bend or fold. A good manufacturer providing hanging banner printing services will usually give grommets and hems on the banners that you order. You can also use bungees to add flexibility to the banners, if required.
