Fabric run breakaway banners…NOT Plastic

Our breakaway banners are made of durable 250g Soft Knitted Polyester, not the PVC plastic that you may find offered by other suppliers. This means you can wash your run through banner and use it for years to come. We use U.V. resistant inks digitally printed to create bright and bold colors that will stand up to years of use.

5 1/2″ Pole Pockets

Large Pole Pockets on both sides of the run through banner provide a convenient way to hold the banner with a simple pole inserted in the pocket. Any pole of 1″ diameter or more will work for holding the breakthrough banner. While we offer a pole option for you to purchase, you can easily use simple options that can be found at your local hardware store.

Breakaway Banners uses simple “hook and loop fasteners”.

The football run through banner is held together by Velcro type hook and loop closures on the middle seam. The inside seam has 1″ loop closure down the entire height of the breakaway banner seam. On the overlap seam there are 3 – 1″ X 4″ strips of hook material The closures provide enough grabbing power to hold the breakaway banner halves together, but not enough to provide too much resistance when players run through the banner.

Polyester or Nylon Breakaway Banner VS PVC Plastic Run Through Banner

Fabric run through signs offer a significant number of advantages over the standard PVC Plastic Banner offered by most suppliers. Below we examine these advantages to show that using fabric is your best option for your Breakaway Banner.  

Storing Your Breakaway Banner

When it comes to storage between games, there is no comparison. A fabric breakaway banner easily folds up to a smaller size that is much easier to manage than the PVC version. The rigid nature of Vinyl Banner material means that the run through banner will have to be rolled up meaning it will take up more room and effort to store.

PVC material is much heavier

A Vinyl break through banner is much heavier compared to a polyester or nylon breakaway banner. The heavier weight of the PVC material makes it much harder to carry and hold up. In some cases it may take 2 people to hold a larger vinyl sports run through sign, but a fabric breakaway banner can easily be held by one person on each side without much effort.

Graphics are much more durable on fabric

The graphics when digitally printed on fabric will not scratch as is the case when using PVC Banners. The excessive transporting and handling of breakaway banners means that the graphics will be scratched reducing the life of your vinyl run through banner. The graphics on a fabric break through banner will not scratch giving you years of use.      

Fabric break through signs can be washed

Another huge advantage of choosing fabric over PVC for your breakaway banner is the ability throw the fabric banner into the wash whenever needed.  Having a nylon or polyester banner that you can wash between games opposed to a PVC banner that you can only wash by wiping down by hand can you save you valuable time and work.  

Vinyl Breakaway Banner can become brittle and cracked

Vinyl material becomes brittle over time and will start cracking, especially in really cold weather. If you are going to be using the banner in cold weather you will want to choose a fabric run through banner. Vinyl PVC bust through signs can be really unforgiving and show creases and wrinkles much more than polyester or nylon breakaway banners.
