What size are printed lamp post banners?

Sizes vary depending on the pole type and bracket system being used. Common formats are proportioned to suit standard street lighting columns, but dimensions are usually confirmed at the quotation stage to ensure compatibility with existing hardware.

Are lamp post banners always double-sided?

In most cases, yes. Double-sided printing allows the banner to be read from both directions along a street or pathway. Single-sided banners may be suitable in controlled environments, but this is assessed case by case.

What material is used for lamp post banners?

Lamp post banners are typically printed on reinforced PVC banner material suitable for extended outdoor exposure. Material choice is based on durability, weight and how the banner behaves when mounted on brackets.

How are lamp post banners fixed to poles?

They are usually mounted using bracket systems that support the banner at the top and bottom via sleeves or pockets. The banner is produced to match the bracket dimensions, rather than relying on eyelets or ties.

Are lamp post banners suitable for windy locations?

They can be, but exposure needs to be considered carefully. Wind load, banner size and pole spacing all affect suitability. In higher wind areas, alternative materials or reduced banner sizes may be recommended.

How long can lamp post banners be left in place?

Display duration depends on exposure, location and material choice. Lamp post banners are often used for seasonal or campaign-based periods rather than permanent display. Expected duration is usually discussed before production.

What artwork works best for lamp post banners?

Because banners are viewed from a distance and often by moving traffic, artwork benefits from clear hierarchy, strong contrast and limited fine detail. Artwork is typically reviewed before print, with guidance available here: artwork guidelines.

Who should I speak to if I’m unsure about brackets or specification?

If you’re unsure which bracket system is in place or how the banner should be specified, speaking with our experienced account managers can help clarify requirements before artwork and production are confirmed.

Outdoor pole system

Lamp post banners are produced to work with bracket systems and sleeves rather than eyelet fixing. Size and finishing are matched to the mounting hardware to ensure a clean, secure fit.

Double-sided visibility

Banners are typically printed double-sided so messaging can be read from both directions along streets, walkways or approaches without requiring additional signage.

Consistent prints

Used in multiples, lamp post banners help create visual consistency across roads, campuses or estates, reinforcing identity or guiding visitors through an area.

Long runs and repeat installs

Because banners are often installed in series, colour consistency and material stability are important. Production is managed to ensure banners look uniform across multiple poles.

Weather-appropriate materials

Materials are selected to cope with prolonged outdoor exposure, including wind movement and daylight. Specification is based on location rather than purely on display period.

Visibility and safety

Banner size is determined by viewing distance, pole height and the surrounding environment. This helps maintain legibility while avoiding formats that may be unsuitable for exposed or high-traffic locations.
