What Are Breakaway Banners?

Breakaway banners are custom banners with a hook-and-loop fastener running down the middle to form one interconnected banner that is easily separated when someone runs through it. Football breakaway banners, also known as run through banners, typically come with poles that are inserted into pole pockets located on each side of the banner and are usually held by cheerleaders or coaches during the running through process. They are most commonly used for pep rallies and team sporting events such as football, basketball, and field hockey games with ages ranging from youth to college level. These banners are typically displayed as the teams are being introduced before the game to inspire the crowd and provide a grand entrance for the home team.

Vispronet breakaway banners are printed on our premium display polyester. This high quality polyester is wrinkle-resistant, flame-retardant, tear-resistant, slightly stretchy, and has a glossy finish – making it the perfect material for run through banners. The banners are printed using dye sublimation, a state-of-the-art printing method that produces exquisite, full-color, high definition prints, sure to grab the attention of the crowd and everyone in attendance. This printing style also makes for dramatically less fading long term compared to inferior printing methods used by our competitors.

If you do not already have a set of poles for your banner, we offer two poles that are compatible with your banner size. For example, if you purchase a 6ft football run through banner, we supply poles that will extend out roughly 16 inches so you can safely hold the banner upright during the running through process. The poles are crafted from aluminum because of its light weight, maximum durability, corrosion resistance, and low maintenance. Each pole set comes with a high-quality carry bag for easy travel and secure storage.

We offer an array of standard breakaway banner sizes ranging from 8ft x 4ft up to 14ft x 12ft with multiple size options in between.

Dye Sublimation Print
Our run through banners are printed using dye sublimation. This printing method infuses the ink directly into the fabric for a vibrant, fade-resistant finish.

Durable Hook and Loop Fastener
A reusable hook and loop fastener is installed down the center of the banner so it easily separates when someone runs through it.

Optional Pole Set & Carry Bag
Add on our aluminum pole set and carry bag for convenient set up, travel, and storage. The pole set is lightweight, rust-resistant, and easy to assemble.

Pre-Sewn Pole Pockets
Pre-sewn pole pockets are attached to each side of the banner for a strong and reliable hold during banner display and use.

Premium Polyester Material
Each breakaway banner is printed on our Display Polyester. This lightweight knitted fabric is tear-resistant and machine washable.

 

How to Design Your Breakaway Banners

Online Design Tool: Our online design tool is perfect for customers that aren’t expert graphic designers and don’t have professional design software. The tool is stocked with helpful art assets including clip art, background colors, multiple font options, and guidance to help you stay within the design area and within our minimum DPI Standards for print. After you finish your design, a graphic artist will check for any errors or mistakes before sending to print.

Upload Product Template: This option is best for experienced graphic artists and/or those with professional design software. This method involves downloading the design template from the breakaway banner product page, adding your artwork and design through your software, saving out, and re-uploading to our website. After you upload your design, our graphic artist team checks to make sure there aren’t any errors before sending a confirmation to your email inbox that your design is ready to print.

Breakaway Signs for Every Sporting Event

Showcasing custom run through banners is an excellent way to exhibit school spirit and energize the crowd before a game or event.  These banners are excellent at attracting the attention of the crowd in the stands and intimidating the opposing team. Football breakaway banners can be showcased indoors and outdoors by a range of school related teams and clubs like sports teams, cheerleaders, student clubs, special events, and more!

Football Run Through Signs

These banners are most often found on the football field before important home games. When the crowd sees the banner with the school colors and logo, they know it is time to get excited and cheer for the home team! Custom run through banners are a must have for rivalry games, playoff matches, and homecoming games! They are a great way to pump up the crowd as the team makes their grand entrance.

Cheerleading Breakaway Banners

These banners are utilized by cheer teams at games and competitions. Whether they are cheering for a school sports team or at their own matches and events, cheerleading run through signs allow for an eye catching start and unforgettable entrance for the team. Because these banners are made from fabric and display vibrant, full-color graphics, they are commonly used as a backdrop during cheerleading competitions and events.

Run Through Signs for Basketball

Breakaway signs are not just for outdoor use! These custom banners are also commonly showcased at basketball games. Whether they are for high school or college, basketball breakaway banners offer a great way for the cheer team and band to pump up an eager crowd before the match begins.

Cleaning our custom breakaway banners is a quick and easy process. Simple throw your banner into your washing machine on gentle cycle in warm water. If you have any tough spots to clean, you can gently apply a mild detergent to the spot for best results. To dry the banner, throw in the dryer on the low cycle or hang to air dry. If there are any small wrinkles after you dry it, you can straighten them out with a clothing steamer. We do not recommend ironing your football run through banner.

Breakaway Banner Assembly

Step #1

Start by laying the two banner pieces flat on the ground. Make sure to avoid surfaces that have any sharp or poking objects as this can cause damange to the polyester material. Connect the two banner pieces using the hook and loop fastener installed on each peice.

Step #2

Assemble the holding poles by connecting the poles together using the male and female ends of each pole. Make sure the poles are connected securely before moving onto the next step.

Step #3

Insert the poles into the pole pockets on each side of the breakaway banners. Make sure the poles are completely inserted before moving onto the next step.

Step #4

Stand the football breakaway banner upright. Pull the poles away from each other to increase the tautness before the team runs through.
