What Are A-Frame Banners?
A-frame banners stand on their own without walls, poles, or mounting hardware; simply place the display where you want people to see your message. A-frame banners are a popular choice for sporting events, trade shows, festivals, large store entrances, and real estate open houses. However, they are not ideal for use in small, cramped spaces.
Every A-frame banner display includes three components: a lightweight aluminum frame, a custom-printed vinyl banner, and the hardware needed for assembly. Bungee cords keep the banner stretched tight and allow it to flex slightly in light wind.

A-Frame Banner Printing Technology and Materials
We print every banner on 13 oz. matte vinyl, a durable material made for indoor and outdoor use. Its matte finish reduces glare, making your message easier to read in bright sunlight and indoor lighting.
Choose single-sided printing if your display will face one direction, or double-sided printing to show your message on both sides. Double-sided A-frame banners are a great choice for sidewalks, event entrances, and other areas where people approach from different directions.
Sizes
Our custom A-frame banners come in two sizes to suit different display locations and promotional needs.
4 ft. A-Frame Banner
At about 51” L x 39.5” H, this compact option fits areas with moderate foot traffic or limited space. It works well for sidewalks, entrances, and small promotions where space is limited.
8 ft. A-Frame Banner
At about 101” L x 39.5” H, the larger size stands out in open areas and high-traffic spots. It’s a great choice for festivals, sporting events, or construction sites.
A-Frame Banner Parts
You won’t have to worry about how to set up your A-frame banner, because it comes with everything you need to get started.
Custom-Printed Banner With Grommets
The banner is where your message comes to life. You’ll notice grommets around the edges; they make it easy to attach the banner to the frame and keep it flat, so your design looks neat and easy to read.
Aluminum Pole Sets
The aluminum poles form the frame that holds your banner in place. They’re lightweight but strong enough to support the banner indoors and outdoors.
Bungee Cords
Bungee cords keep your banner stretched across the frame.
Hems
Hems reinforce the areas that get the most pull during setup. It helps the banner survive repeated use, so you can pack it away and set it up again and again.

Installation
A-frame banners are quick and easy to set up. We even have a visual guide to help you.
Step 1: Attach the top and bottom joints of the central pole to the horizontal top and bottom poles of the frame (8ft only).
Step 2: Attach the horizontal top and bottom poles of the frame to the side legs of the frame.
Step 3: Open the frame, and make sure the stability arms in the center of the legs are fully extended.
Step 4: Slide the bungee cords between the top horizontal poles, then slide them through the grommets on the banner and hook them securely. Repeat for each grommet.
Setup Tips
- Assemble the frame on a flat surface for easier setup;
- Always attach the corner cords before the sides;
- Make sure all the poles and cords are secure before each use.
Care and Storage
Taking good care of your A-frame banner helps keep it looking great and ready for your next event.
How to Clean: Wipe the banner with a soft cloth or sponge using mild soap and water. If the frame gets dirty after outdoor use, you can just wipe it down with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners because they can damage the printed surface.
How to Store: First, make sure the banner is completely dry before putting it away. Then store the banner, frame, and accessories together in a clean and dry place. Don’t place any heavy objects on the hardware to avoid bending, scratching, or otherwise damaging it.
How to Handle: Roll the banner instead of folding it. This helps prevent creases and keeps the graphic looking great.
