Before You Put out Your Advertising Banner……Check with the City

So….you’ve gotten your new business ready to open to the public.  The final touch to attract customers is a full color banner posted near the street, right?  In most cases, yes….but before you invest in a nice banner and t-posts to hold it up by the street, check with your local City Departments to find out what the restrictions on placing banners and signs.  Most cities require permits to place banners near highways or major city streets.  These permits may have time limits and may cost you a bit to obtain.  Some cities have restrictions on banner size and distance from the road as well.  It is alway best to know the restrictions BEFORE ordering your banner.  If you place a banner illegally, you may arrive at your place of business to find your banner has disappeared!  Cities have crews dedicated to finding unpermitted banners and signs and removing them.  When you call them or visit the city department responsible for the removal, you may find you owe a hefty fine for placing your banner or sign without the proper permit.  So…now you have lost your banner and owe money! 

Most cities realize that roadside banners and signs are an excellent way to attract new business and allow them if they are permitted and are within certain restriction.  Be smart!  Check with the proper City Department before placing your banner or sign along the roadway in front of your business.

Get More Attention with Reflective Banners

So, it’s 9:00 pm and your banner quitely hangs in front of your business screaming your message without a voice……because it is dark outside.  Why shouldn’t that banner relay your message 24 hours a day?  You paid for it, carefully placed it where it could be seen by passersby, and depend on it to get your message out.  PROBLEM SOLVED!  How about a banner printed on REFLECTIVE vinyl! 


Reflective Banner material combines micro prismatic lens and flexible vinyl fabric (Quality Standard GB/T8948-1994) or PVC with a special fusion technique. It consists of a physical protective layer, a UV protective layer, and a reflective layer.  The reflective layer is made of diffractive, high transparency material fused into a highly retro-reflective, durable, and flexible substrate.  It may be used in outdoor advertising applications where light is minimal.  Say, at night!  This material is inkjet printable. So you may choose a full color reflective design.  Some major applications are pole banners, highway pillar structure banners, banners, barricades, billboards and other similar outdoor advertisements.  Even small amounts of ambiant light will make your banner or sign “pop” with light, revealing your message.  This material is especially reflective when spotted with car headlights.
