Homecoming Banner

Each banner is printed on 13 oz scrim vinyl, a heavyweight material built for outdoor stadium use and repeated hanging. The surface holds vivid full-color ink at 720 dpi, so team colors and mascot art stay crisp under stadium lights and daylight. You can choose a matte finish that cuts glare for photos or a gloss finish that pops under Friday night lights. Both options are waterproof and UV-safe for the full homecoming week and beyond.

Popular sizes range from 3 feet by 6 feet for hallway and entrance displays to 4 feet by 10 feet for fence lines and stage backdrops. If you are planning a run-through banner for the team to burst through, most schools order between 8 feet by 10 feet and 10 feet by 20 feet so the whole squad fits. For parade floats and building facades, we can weld panels together up to 10 feet by 145 feet. Send us the space you need to fill and we will suggest a proportion that reads clearly from a distance.

Every order includes reinforced hems and metal grommets spaced about every 2 feet, which is the standard setup for chain-link fences, railings, and pole spans. Use zip ties, bungee cords, or rope through the grommets for a fast, secure install that will not tear the vinyl. For run-through banners, tape or lightly staple the top edge to a wooden dowel or PVC pipe so the cheer squad can hold it taut. Indoors, small S-hooks or Command hooks through the grommets work well on gym walls.

Yes, you can upload print-ready art directly during checkout, and our team will review it before it goes on press. Vector files like PDF, AI, or EPS give the sharpest results for logos and lettering, but high-resolution PNG and JPG files work too. If you only have a low-resolution image or need help laying out the design, our optional custom design service builds a polished layout for a small fee with a 24-hour proof turnaround. That is a lifesaver when the homecoming committee decides on a theme at the last minute.

The 13 oz vinyl is fully waterproof, and the printed inks are cured and UV-safe, so rain, sun, and cool autumn nights will not fade or streak the design. Reinforced hems and grommets keep the banner from tearing in stadium wind gusts as long as it is tied down at every corner and along the top edge. After a wet game, just wipe the banner down with a soft cloth and let it air dry before rolling it up for storage. Stored properly, the same banner can come back out for next year's pep rally or alumni event.

We offer same-day printing and same-day shipping on most banner orders placed with approved artwork before our daily cutoff. From our fulfillment locations in Kansas, Texas, and Michigan, ground transit reaches most of the country in one to four business days, and expedited shipping is available at checkout. If you are on a tight timeline, upload your art as early as possible and note your event date in the order comments. Our production team will flag it and prioritize the run.

Yes, we print double-sided blockout banners with an opaque center layer so the two printed sides stay crisp and do not bleed through each other. This is the right choice for banners hung over stadium entrances, main hallways, or between light poles where fans will see both sides. Double-sided banners use the same 13 oz vinyl construction with hems and grommets on all four edges. Let us know at checkout that you want double-sided and we will confirm the artwork setup for each face.

Absolutely, and many schools design their homecoming banners with the year left off so they can rotate through pep rallies, parades, and away-game tailgates for several seasons. To extend its life, take the banner down after each event, wipe off any dirt with mild soap and water, and roll it printed-side out around a cardboard tube. Store it indoors in a dry space away from direct sunlight. With that routine, a well-cared-for banner easily lasts multiple school years.
