Outdoor Pole Banners
Uses and Benefits of Outdoor Pole Banners
Printed Today produces premium outdoor pole banners designed for high-visibility advertising on streets, car parks, event venues and commercial districts across the UK. Constructed from 510 GSM heavy-duty PVC, these pole vinyl banners withstand rain, wind and sun exposure, ensuring bright colours and long-term performance. They are ideal for large-scale promotional campaigns, branded street advertising, seasonal messaging and public event announcements.
Our PVC pole vinyl banners are engineered to remain stable in exposed outdoor locations thanks to welded pole pockets and reinforced hems. Moreover, their compatibility with standard lamppost brackets makes installation fast and easy. Whether you need a single banner for a local store or a multi-banner rollout for citywide marketing, our heavy duty pole vinyl banners deliver exceptional durability and excellent value.
Design and Artwork – How It Works

You can send your artwork in whichever way suits you best:
- Upload your files directly during checkout.
- Email artwork to [email protected] using your order number as reference.

Artwork Preparation Guidelines for Custom Outdoor Pole Banner Printing
For the cleanest and sharpest outdoor pole banners, please follow these specifications:
- Match the artwork size to your final banner dimensions.
- Add a 1.5 inch (≈38 mm) bleed on all four sides.

- Send PDF where possible; AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, JPEG or PNG are also accepted.
- Outline or embed fonts and send logos in vector format.
Free Artwork Check and Design Support
Printed Today manually checks each file for size accuracy, bleed, resolution and layout. If you need help designing your pole vinyl banners, simply provide a written brief and any logos or images you want to include. A proof will be sent for approval before printing begins.
Sizes and Finishing Options
Popular Outdoor Pole Banner Sizes
Outdoor pole banners typically use tall vertical formats, although any custom size can be produced:
- 2 ft × 4 ft – ideal for pedestrian streets and retail parks.
- 2 ft × 5 ft – great visibility for festivals and shopping centres.
- 3 ft × 6 ft – stronger presence for roadside installations.
- Custom dimensions – tailored to your lamppost or pole system.
Finishing, Orientation and Installation
Every PVC pole vinyl banner comes ready for installation:
- Top and bottom welded pole pockets for secure mounting.
- Reinforced hems to resist tension and strong winds.
- Optional metal eyelets for alternative setups.
- Landscape or portrait formats available.
- Rolled delivery to minimise creasing.
Pricing Structure and Calculator
How Prices Are Calculated
Printed Today uses a clear square-foot-based pricing structure. Your total is calculated using the formula:
total price = width (ft) × height (ft) × quantity × rate per sq ft
Rates vary depending on your total printed area and your choice of Standard, 72-hour, 48-hour, 24-hour or Same Day turnaround. This ensures fair pricing whether you’re ordering one outdoor pole banner or hundreds.
