What Are Breakaway Banners?
Breakaway banners are custom-printed banners comprising two portions joined by Velcro down the middle. The two banner pieces combined make one cohesive image. They are often used at youth, high school, and college football games, where the joined banners are brought to the field and held by poles on either side. When the team enters the field, the players run toward the banner and break through it by the Velcro in the middle, creating a dynamic entrance that fans will surely cheer on as they go onto the field to start the game.
Our breakaway banners are made from durable 13 oz. vinyl, making it the perfect choice for football game entrances — they are 100% customizable, reusable, and durable enough to last multiple seasons while still giving you the custom look you need.
Standard & Custom Sizes Available
We offer our breakaway banners in any custom size so you can get exactly the banner you need. Banners can be ordered in any custom size between 2’H x 6’W & 10’H x 15’W.

Breakaway Banner Features
Pole Pockets
Each breakaway banner comes with two sewn pole pockets, one on either end of the banner. These hemmed pockets are strong but simple ways to set up and hold your banners.
Durable
Breakaway banners are meant to be run through, which means they should be durable enough to withstand repeated entrances of a sports team. Our 13 oz. vinyl is the perfect material for games regardless of the weather conditions.
Reusable
With Velcro patches down the middle of your banner, it's possible to use these weekly for several years. The banners are easily cleaned and stored between games or seasons for use in future seasons.

Assembly
To set up your breakaway banner begin by laying the two banner pieces flat on the ground. Avoid any abrasive surface like concrete or asphalt when doing so. Attach the two banner pieces together with the corresponding velcro strips that run down the middle of each banner piece.
Assemble the poles using the push buttons and connecting the female and male ends of the poles.
Once the Velcro is attached, slide the assembled, compatible poles (optional purchase if poles are needed) into the pole pockets on each end of the banner.
Finally, stand the banner upright. Doing so typically requires multiple people depending on the size of the banner. To prevent the banner from sagging in the top center, pull the very top of each pole towards the outside of the banner to increase tautness.
Once the graphic is pulled tight you’ll be ready for a football team to run through the banner and begin their game!
Care
To clean your banner simply wipe it down with a non-abrasive cloth dampened in a mixture of warm water and dish soap. Let the banner air dry. When storing the banner be sure to roll it up to prevent permanent creases from occurring. Avoid contact with sharp objects or placing anything on top of the banner. Make sure to store it in a cool, dry environment away from sunlight and weather exposure.
Poles
If you don’t already have poles (should be diameter of 1” or less) to use with your breakaway banner you’ll need a set of compatible poles to slide into the sewn pole pockets on either end of the banner. We offer compatible aluminum poles as optional accessories for your banner. We recommend our aluminum poles due to their lightweight yet durable nature. These poles are easily connected together via a push button and locking mechanism. Each pole section is approximately 36” long. We recommend ordering enough poles to have at least 1’ of extra pole length than the height of your banner so it can be held off the ground if desired.

Below are our File Preparation guidelines to make sure files have good print quality.
Size and bleed:
- Files need to be built to the final trim size plus 1/8″ bleed on each side. Therefore, if you are ordering a 5 x 7 postcard, the graphic file’s size should 5.25″ x 7.25″. When generating the file into the proper format, do not use any crop or printer’s marks as these will increase the dimensions of the design file.
Image Resolution:
- For best printing results, we recommend files to have a resolution of at least 300 dpi. Submitting files with a resolution lower than 300 dpi may result in the print turning out pixelated or blurry.
Color mode:
- All full color artwork and/or images must be saved in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color mode. While black and white artwork and/or images must be in grayscale color mode.
- Files submitted in RGB or Pantone color mode will be converted automatically to CMYK. Converting these to CMYK would cause a shift since they are not of the same color spectrum.
Safe Zone:
- Do not place any critical images or text beyond the safety zone, which should be at least 1/8″ within the final trim size. This will ensure that they are well within the finished piece when it is trimmed.
Breakaway banner poles can be added to the order as an accessory. I'm afraid it does not come with a zippered carrying case. However, we also do offer cases that you can purchase along with the breakaway banner poles. You may check the link below and click on Poles & Pole Sets to learn more:
Our breakaway banners offer the option to include poles, complete with a convenient carry bag for easy transport. While the poles come with a carry bag for added convenience, please note that the banner itself doesn't come with a storage bag.
Yes, once the breakaway banner is assembled, it typically requires multiple people to hold on to it, depending on the size of the banner. To prevent the banner from sagging in the top center, someone needs to pull the very top of each pole towards the outside of the banner to increase tautness. If the banner is new, the players may need to run through it faster with a bit of force once colliding with it for an easy breakaway of the velcro holding the banner pieces in the middle. Over the weeks or years of use, it should get a lot easier with less force exerted.
Yes, you can order poles only for your breakaway banners. Please see the link below. https://www.signs.com/accessories/
The printing turnaround time takes about 1 business day, and the shipping turnaround time would depend on the shipping method chosen. If you choose to ship this overnight, it is possible to get it within 2 business days after the day you place the order given that there are no file issues and that it is paid for before the cutoff time which is at 5 PM PST.
Breakaway banners are made from 13 oz. vinyl. This material allows your design, logo, or other graphics to be printed in high resolution on a durable material. We've found vinyl to be the best option for breakaway banners and much better than fabric or other materials due to its regular outdoor use. 13 oz. vinyl allows banners to be reused over many years while still looking as good as ever. Because of this we do not offer any other materials for custom breakaway banners.
Breakaway banners and breakthrough banners are not only interchangeable but synonymous with a long list of terms including: run through banners, football run through banners, break through banners, bust out banners, and tear away banners. Although all of these names are slightly different they all refer to the same product. This product is most commonly used for youth and high school football games where the players on the team run through the banner at the beginning of a game. So while we (or you) may use varying terms, rest assured we're talking about the same thing! We offer a wide variety of custom banners. Some of our most popular banners are: standard vinyl banners, mesh banners, pole banners for cities and streets, fabric banners and retractable banners for events, presentations, trade shows, and other uses.
