Step and Repeat Banners are typically used in conjunction with photography. The step and repeat design is perfect for any background. These banners are typically used at red carpet events, trade shows, formal dances, birthdays, conventions, fairs, and media events.
How are Step and Repeat Banners installed?
Hems and grommets or pole pockets can be added to your vinyl banner. We recommend placing ball bungees on ALL grommets provided if you select hems and grommets. This will spread the tension uniformly, resulting in a banner that is as clean and wrinkle-free as possible.
Our pole pockets are another way to hang your step and repeat banner. There will be no increase in the end size of your banner if pole pockets are chosen. Pole pockets come in three sizes: 2", 3", and 4". When choosing pole pockets, we don't recommend placing any text or images within 3 inches of the banner's edge.
Pole Pocket Finishing Options
- 2" Pole Pockets - fits a pole 3/4" in diameter
- 3" Pole Pockets - fits a pole 1 1/4" in diameter
- 4" Pole Pockets - fits a pole 1 1/2" in diameter

Will my Step and Repeat Banner fade in the sun?
Our banners are made from premium sun-resistant material. But, as with anything else left in the sun for an extended period of time, it will eventually lose some of its color if left in the direct sun. We recommend storing your Step and Repeat Banner in a dry place out of the sun.
