Attention
Best Practices
- It is important to use a high-quality double sided blockout banner media for making pole pocket banners. Using 13 oz single sided media is NOT compatible with PoleTape or PoleTape PRO for outdoor durability. The reverse side surface is generally not intended for ink or adhesive application.
- UV Printed banners are NOT recommended for use with PoleTape or PoleTape PRO. UV Ink has a very low surface energy making it minimally receptive of adhesives. For best results combine PoleTape with banners printed with eco-solvent or solvent inks.
- When making pole banners for outdoor use, often there is a requirement to include grommets for attachment to light poles. For best results, we recommend grommeting through the PoleTape adhesive at both ends to ensure maximum holding power.

Customer Reviews
What Sign Pros Are Saying
“Your products were recommended to us by another sign company and holy cow, what a difference it made for our digital banners. We had creasing and wrinkling issues with our grommet method — PowerTape with PowerTabs completely solved it. The banners lay flat and look professional.”
“Banner Ups are the only product that last in the market. They are tough as nails with wind! We’re in Oklahoma — wind is not a joke here. PowerTape over PowerTabs and we’ve never had a failure. Nothing even comes close.”
