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.

Questions and Answers
We do recommend using the poles we provide as the best option for your breakaway banners. If you choose to use existing or other poles they need to be no greater than 1" in diameter to be compatible with the banner. Using your own poles does void the satisfaction guarantee as we can't control nor discern if incompatible poles end up causing damage to your banner.
The pole heights we offer are 36", 69", 102", and 135". The height of your pole is automatically determined by the height you choose for your banner. Each pole comes in sections that are 36" in height with 3" being used at each connection. Each pole is 1" in diameter. Each aluminum pole section weighs only .6 pounds. Despite their light weight they are extremely durable and should last for years to come.
You only need two poles for your breakaway banner; one pole for each side of the banner. We automatically determine the size of the poles you will need based on the height of your banner. If you have questions please don't hesitate to contact us.
Standalone poles are not something that we offer at this time. Assuming your poles are under 1" in diameter they should be compatible with the breakaway banner. Though we do strongly recommend using the poles we provide. If you are looking for standalone poles please contact us to see if it is possible to find a solution for you.
Before sliding your poles into the pole pockets on the breakaway banners you'll need to put them together. To assemble your poles begin by taking two poles sections and slide the end with the button into the opposite end of the other pole. To completely slide a pole into another pole you'll need to press down the button and slide it into a locking position where a hole is located on the other pole. Locking the button into this hole will secure your two poles together, creating a longer but sturdy pole that will not come apart during use. Continue this process with any additional poles that may be included. Be sure to assemble two equal length poles, one for each end of your breakaway banner, to ensure you can correctly hold your banner in place for your team to run through it.
Breakaway banners are easily assembled and can be up and ready for use in just a few minutes. To set up your banner begin by laying out the banner sections flat on the ground. Be sure to avoid abrasive ground surfaces like concrete or asphalt as this can damage the banner. Rather, choose a soft surface like grass or carpet to lay them out on with the printed side face up or away from the surface. After the banner has been laid out, connect the two sections together by aligning the velcro strips, one on each banner, and press the two banners together down the middle of the two pieces. Once the velcro strip has been properly aligned and connected you will need to slide poles into the pole pockets that are on each end of the banner. The pole pockets are compatible with poles up to 1" in diameter whether they are your own poles or the poles we offer as additional items to your banner order. Gently slide compatible poles into each of the pole pockets until the pole reaches the top of the pocket (it is closed at the top so the poles don't slide out during use). Once the poles are installed you may stand the banner up by lifting from either side at the same time.. Be sure that you have the help of additional people as you set up and use your breakaway banner. More than one person is required to use a breakaway banner. To ensure the proper appearance of your banner as people run through it make sure that the banner is pulled tight without any slack. If the banner begins to sag in the top center have someone pull outward on each pole top. Depending on the height of your banner they might need to stand on a stable chair or ladder to do so. Those holding the banner should be prepared for the a small jolt or loss of tension once the players break through the banner. This is most important to understand for those holding the top of the banner on either side, especially if they are standing on a chair or table to reach it.
Sometimes during shipment or storage your breakaway banner may have some slight wrinkling occur. These small wrinkles aren't permanent and can be easily removed. To remove the wrinkles simply lay the banner out flat on the ground during a warm sunny day and the heat from the sun will remove the wrinkles.
To ensure that your breakaway banner's velcro strips maintain their adherence on either side be sure to avoid contact with anything like plants, strings, rope, fabric, and other items that might try to attach to the velcro. If your velcro strips attach to anything other than the opposing velcro be sure to check that no residue is left on the velcro. If anything sticks to the velcro promptly remove it. Keeping the velcro clean will help maintain the ability to attach your banner together.
