What Are Breakaway Banners?
Breakaway Banners are custom printed banners with Velcro down the middle to attach two banner pieces to make one cohesive image. With poles on either side they are most commonly used at youth, high school, and college football games. Parents or cheer team members hold the poles on either side while the Velcro strip allows the team to run or break through the banner as they run onto the field.
The banners are made from a durable 13 oz. vinyl making it the perfect choice for football game entrances. Breakaway banners 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.

Pole Pockets
Each break through banner comes with two sewn pole pockets, one on either end of the banner. These hemmed pockets are a strong but simple way to set up and hold your banner during use.
Durable
Breakaway banners are meant to be run through and are durable enough to withstand repeated entrances of a football 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 weekly use over a number of years it as easy as it gets. In between games or seasons the banners are easily cleaned and stored to be used for 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.

Questions and Answers
We offer custom sized breakaway banners anywhere between 6'W x 2'H as the minimum size and 15'W x 10'H as the maximum size.
The most common sizes for breakaway banners are 12'W x 4'H , 10'W x 6'H, 12'W x 8'H, 14'W x 10'H.
Breakaway banners are technically two separate banners that are attached together with a velcro strip down the middle of each banner. When standing close to your breakthrough banner you'll be able to tell that one side's velcro attaches to the other. From a distance it will look like one seamless banner that allows your design to stretch across both parts and yet have your football team run through it when entering the field. Outside of where it connects in the middle there will be no seams on either of the separate pieces of your breakaway banner.
Because our breakaway banners come with pole pockets for use we don't offer grommets as an option for these banners.
Breakaway banners are created with a 13 oz. vinyl that has a matte finish and a flush edge. We don't currently offer any other finishes or edge options at this time.
Breakaway banners are customizable in rectangular and square shapes between 6'W x 3'H and 15'W x 10'H. Breakaway banners do not have the option of being contour or halo cut as do some of our other signs.
If you'd like to get a blank or white breakaway banner you can do so by selecting white as the background color in our design tool. However, we are a custom signage provider and are able to print your custom design on the banner instead of placing decals or vinyl lettering onto a blank banner material. Using permanent marker to draw on the banner where it is blank or printed on may not result in an aesthetically pleasing banner and voids any satisfaction guarantee.
All of our breakaway banners come with 2" pole pockets that are sewn top to bottom on the outside edges of your banner. These pole pockets are compatible with poles that are 1" and under in diameter. The optional poles we offer are 1" in diameter. We offer different pole heights depending on the height you choose for your breakaway banner. The pole heights we offer are 36", 69", 102", and 135". Each pole comes in sections that are 36" in height with 3" being used at each connection. For example, if you ordered a 3' high breakthrough banner for a pee wee football team, then you would receive two 36" poles for either side of the banner. If you needed a banner at the maximum height of 10' you would receive 135" poles for each side. Your banner would then rest approximately 2' off the ground and allow the bigger players to run through it.
We don't currently offer a mesh breakaway banner at this time. We also don't offer wind slits on our banners. In our research we've found that wind slits don't provide much benefit to the lifespan of a banner but do negatively affect the design and appearance of the sign.
