Pole banners and street banners are one of the most impactful and cost-effective tools for outdoor advertising and local promotion. Whether you're a city official promoting a local event, a business owner driving foot traffic, or an organization looking to enhance visibility, these vertical banners mounted to light poles or street fixtures are impossible to ignore. At Graphic Impact, we specialize in designing and printing durable, high-impact pole banners tailored to your campaign or branding goals.

What Are Pole Banners and Street Banners?

Pole banners—also known as boulevard banners or street banners—are vertical signs typically installed on streetlights, lamp posts, or utility poles. They’re most often printed on heavy-duty vinyl or fabric, making them durable enough for long-term outdoor use. Each banner is held in place with hardware that includes brackets and poles to ensure it remains taut and visible in all weather conditions.

High Visibility in High-Traffic Areas

One of the greatest advantages of pole banners is their visibility. Placed along busy streets, parking lots, campuses, or downtown districts, they are seen by both vehicle and foot traffic alike. Unlike standard billboards or wall signs, pole banners are placed at eye level and in repetitive sequences. This repetition enhances brand recall and ensures your message is noticed multiple times by passersby throughout the day.

Cost-Effective Marketing for Events and Campaigns

Compared to other advertising formats, pole banners offer a low cost per impression. They’re perfect for:

• Promoting seasonal events or festivals
• Announcing grand openings or special sales
• Displaying civic pride or school spirit
• Highlighting historical landmarks or cultural attractions

Because they are reusable and long-lasting, pole banners represent excellent value for recurring events like annual parades, sporting events, or farmers markets.

Durability and Weather Resistance

At Graphic Impact, we use high-quality materials and UV-resistant inks to ensure your pole banners remain vibrant and legible even in harsh outdoor conditions. Our banners are typically made from 18oz block-out vinyl or solution-dyed polyester fabric, which means they resist fading, fraying, and tearing. We also provide reinforced hems and pole pockets to withstand wind stress, keeping your banners looking professional for months or even years.

Custom Designs That Match Your Branding

Pole banners are not just about text—they’re a canvas for creativity. Our design team can help you create bold, full-color graphics that align with your organization’s identity. Add logos, mascots, vibrant photos, or custom messages. We offer double-sided printing to ensure your message is visible from both directions, doubling the impact without doubling the cost.

Boosting Community Pride and Cohesion

Municipalities often use street banners to boost community engagement and enhance the aesthetic of public spaces. Banners displaying inspirational messages, city slogans, or art by local students contribute to a cohesive community identity. When used in series, they transform ordinary streets into welcoming, branded corridors that encourage tourism and community pride.

Easy Installation and Change-Out

Our banner hardware kits make installation simple and secure. Once mounted, banners can be quickly changed out without the need for special tools or equipment. This makes it easy to rotate banners throughout the year to reflect different seasons, promotions, or community events. You can maintain a fresh, updated look without starting from scratch.

Ideal for a Wide Range of Locations

Pole banners are highly versatile and can be used in numerous settings, including:

• College and university campuses
• Downtown business districts
• Sports stadiums and arenas
• Theme parks and entertainment venues
• Retail shopping centers

No matter the setting, pole banners offer a clean, professional, and impactful way to guide, inform, and impress your audience.
