Printed Outdoor Banners

Printed outdoor banners are full-colour graphics held taut in a freestanding aluminium frame, so they stand on their own without a wall, fence or railing to fix to. Gala Graphics prints them for outdoor event graphics, retail frontages, forecourts and seasonal promotions, in a 3m format that assembles in minutes and packs down for reuse. Buy a printed outdoor banner, request a quote or download a brochure. Outdoor banners are one of six ranges in our outdoor event branding collection.

A banner that needs nothing to fix to

The difference between this and a standard printed PVC banner is the frame. A hung banner needs a fence, wall or scaffold; this one brings its own structure, a rigid aluminium A-frame that stands on any flat surface, indoors or out. That makes it the answer for open forecourts, event fields, pavements and entrances where there is nothing to tie a banner to. The print tensions into the frame flat and wrinkle-free, and the whole thing breaks down for transport and storage. Our guide to PVC banners versus outdoor frame banners compares the two properly.

Full-colour, weatherproof print

Every banner prints edge to edge in full colour on weatherproof material with UV-stable inks, so graphics stay sharp and vivid through a season outdoors. Single or double sided, with the artwork proofed by our design team before production. Our guide to supplying print-ready artwork covers what to send.

What makes an outdoor banner different from a standard printed banner?

The frame. A standard banner is hung from a fence, wall or scaffold with eyelets. An outdoor banner comes with a freestanding aluminium frame, so it stands on its own where there is nothing to fix to.

Can outdoor banners be used indoors?

Yes. The freestanding frame works equally well indoors, at receptions, exhibitions and showrooms, so the same unit covers both settings.

Are they weatherproof?

Yes. The print uses UV-stable inks on weatherproof material, made for repeated outdoor use across a season.

Can I print both sides?

Yes. Single or double sided, so the banner reads correctly from both directions where traffic passes on both sides.

Works Well With

A framed banner stands where nothing else can. These fill in the rest of the outdoor branding setup.

Printed PVC banners are the cheaper option wherever you do have a fence, wall or railing to fix to.
Upright outdoor banners give you a taller, narrower format for entrances and walkways.
Printed flags add height and movement, pulling the eye in from further away than a banner reaches.
Café barriers brand the boundary of a seating or serving area at eye level.
Inflatable arches frame an entrance or a finish line when you want the boldest possible statement.

Planning a full setup? Our outdoor event branding checklist runs through what to take, and the guide to the best branding products for outdoor events shows how the pieces work together. If the banner is going alongside a stand, see the printed gazebos range and our event day setup checklist. Working indoors as well? The frame stands just as well at a show, alongside the indoor branding range.
