Essential Signage for Any Event

  1. Entry/Welcome Banner — 8'×4' vinyl banner with grommets
  2. Directional Yard Signs — Coroplast 18"×24" pointing to parking/registration
  3. Sponsor Banners — Individual sponsor logos on HD vinyl
  4. Step & Repeat Backdrop — 8'×8' vinyl banner with tiled logos for photo ops
  5. Table Signage — Foam core or PVC panels for vendor tables

Outdoor vs. Indoor Materials

For outdoor events, use UV-resistant vinyl. Mesh banners are ideal for high-wind open-air venues. For indoor events, foam core and polystyrene give a cleaner look.

Budget Tip

Order all event signage together in one FedEx shipment — saves on shipping and guarantees everything arrives at once.
