From Circular to Rectangular: The Full Range of Hanging Banner Styles

 

Updated: November 09, 2025

Hanging banners elevate your identity above the aisle line so prospects can find you sooner. They
occupy overhead space instead of your floor plan, which helps maintain open layouts for demos and
meetings. Below is a practical guide to choosing, installing, and maintaining the right system.

Hanging banners use overhead space to project your brand well beyond the booth perimeter. This category covers round and square drums, long rectangles, and tapered forms that emphasise a central point of interest.

Each kit typically combines numbered aluminum tubes with a tensioned, zippered fabric sleeve printed via dye-sublimation. The matte surface maintains colour accuracy under show lighting and looks clean in photographs.

When shortlisting, verify tube wall thickness, joint integrity, and rated hanging points. Ask suppliers for fire-retardant documentation and review venue rigging policies to avoid last-minute revisions.
