Wind is what kills
a banner. Not sun.
Vinyl tension brackets
$37.25 each. Our default recommendation, and what most plants use.
Brackets fix to the building every 3 to 4 feet around the perimeter and the banner is tensioned into them. Load spreads across dozens of points instead of four.
| Banner size | Brackets | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 15' x 45' | about 36 | $1,341 |
| 25' x 37' | about 40 | $1,490 |
| 30' x 50' | about 52 | $1,937 |
| 30' x 60' | about 56 | $2,086 |
Anchoring bolts are not included, because your maintenance team will have preferences based on the wall construction.
Invisible Frame
Custom kits. Best appearance, best wind performance.
A complete engineered frame. The banner mounts into a perimeter frame holding uniform tension with no visible hardware and no rippling. The frame stays up; only the graphic gets swapped.
| Kit | Price |
|---|---|
| 30'10" x 16'3" custom | $8,764 |
| 30' x 60' custom kit | $17,420 |
Both are real 2025 invoices. Kits are quoted to your elevation.
Which should I choose?
Choose brackets if this is a standard plant elevation and budget matters. Choose the frame if the banner faces a road or a main gate, if you have had wind failures before, or if you intend to change the graphic every year or two. Then the frame pays for itself, because re-rigging is the expensive part.
Questions
How do I hang a banner on a metal building?
For large building banners, customers typically use our vinyl tension bracket system. Brackets are installed every 3 to 4 feet around the perimeter and connect to gripper bars inside the banner's pole pockets. The banner is then tensioned on all sides for a smooth, taut, professional appearance.
For smaller building banners, our Invisible Frame kit is another great option. It keeps the banner tight while hiding the mounting hardware for a cleaner finished look.
Both systems are reusable, making it easy to update your graphics in the future. Anchoring hardware should be selected by your maintenance team based on the building's wall construction.
What is the difference between vinyl tension brackets and the Invisible Frame?
A vinyl bracket tension system uses individual heavy duty mechanical clips or brackets (like springs or tension rods) around the edges of a banner to stretch and hold the vinyl flat. An invisible frame conceals all mounting hardware behind the graphic perimeter, creating a clean, low-profile, floating appearance with no visible border hardware.
In more detail, tension brackets create a tight smooth surface while the hardware is slightly visible around the edges. It is a cost-effective choice for larger building banners, fast graphic changes and high wind resistance. A standard set up for 20’ x 40’ system will cost approximately $1,600.
The Invisible Frame is a complete engineered frame with no visible hardware, creating a seamless, floating aesthetic with better appearance and wind performance. The banner can be swapped without re-rigging. A 15’ x 30’ can run close to $4,500 for the kit.
Can you reprint an existing banner?
Yes. If you have the original artwork we will reprint it. If not, a good photograph is usually enough to rebuild the design. If you are replacing a banner on existing brackets, tell us the spacing and we will print to fit.
Send a photo of the elevation and we will tell you what we would do.
