Popular Banner Hardware Options
Eyelets with Hemmed Edges
One of the most common finishing options, eyelets with hemmed edges strengthens the banner and prevents fraying. Metal eyelets allow for easy hanging with hooks, zip ties, or ropes, making this option ideal for both indoor and outdoor displays.
Eyelets, Hemmed Edges, and Rope
Adding a rope to your eyelet and hemmed edge banner makes it highly versatile. The rope allows for tensioning across posts, fences, or poles, ensuring your banner remains taut and visually appealing even in windy conditions.
Kedar Edging (for Sail Track)
