Heavy Duty Frame and Banners

The Heavy-Duty Banner Frame is a freestanding steel display suitable for long-term indoor or outdoor use at events, exhibitions, developments, sports venues and business premises. Its 35mm-diameter steel tube construction provides a sturdy alternative to lighter aluminium frames that may twist or buckle.

The system includes a 3 × 1m custom-printed Mesh PVC banner, bungee ties and six ground anchor hoops. The frame is oversized to hold the graphic under tension. Choose one banner for a single-sided display or two separate banners for visibility from both directions.

What is included with the Heavy-Duty Banner Frame?
The system includes the steel frame, one or two custom-printed banners, bungee ties and six ground anchor hoops.

What is the difference between the single and double-sided options?
The single-sided option includes one printed banner fitted to one side of the frame. The double-sided option includes two separate banners, allowing the display to be viewed from both directions.

Is one banner printed on both sides?
No. Each banner is printed on one side. The double-sided system uses two separate printed banners positioned back-to-back on the frame.

What are the banner and frame sizes?
Each printed banner measures 3,000 × 1,000mm. The assembled frame is larger, measuring approximately 3,300 × 1,300mm with a depth of 690mm.

Why is the frame larger than the printed banner?
The additional space allows the banner to be tensioned within the frame using bungee ties. This keeps the graphic away from the steel tubing and distributes tension around its edges.

What is Mesh PVC?
Mesh PVC contains small openings that allow some air to pass through the material. This reduces wind pressure compared with a solid PVC banner and makes it suitable for exposed outdoor displays.

Can it be used outdoors?
Yes. The steel construction and Mesh PVC graphic are suitable for outdoor use. The frame must be assembled correctly, anchored securely and checked regularly, particularly during changing weather conditions.

Where can the ground anchor hoops be used?
The supplied hoops are intended for suitable soft ground. They are not suitable for concrete, paving or other hard surfaces. Contact SM1 before ordering if the frame will be installed on a hard surface.

Can the frame remain outside in severe weather?
No outdoor display should be treated as safe in all conditions. Inspect the frame, banners, bungees and anchors regularly, and dismantle the display if severe weather or site conditions could affect its stability.

How are the banners attached?
The banners are secured evenly around the frame using the supplied bungee ties. The ties should be fitted progressively around the graphic so the tension remains balanced.

Can I use different artwork on each side?
Yes. The two banners supplied with the double-sided system can use the same design or different artwork. Clearly label each file to show which side it is intended for.

Can I order a replacement banner without another frame?
Contact SM1 with the dimensions and details of your existing frame. We can confirm whether a compatible replacement graphic can be supplied with the correct finishing and fixing positions.

Can I create the artwork in Canva?
Canva can create large-format artwork, but the available document size may require the design to be prepared at a reduced scale. Contact SM1 before starting so we can confirm the correct dimensions and advise whether Canva is suitable.

Can SM1 check or design my artwork?
Yes. SM1 can check supplied files and advise if corrections are needed. We can also create a complete Heavy-Duty Banner Frame design using your branding, logos and messaging. Artwork adjustments and design services may be chargeable, with any costs confirmed before work begins.

SM1 Print Studio are absolute heroes. I found myself in a last-minute panic when our online print supplier failed to deliver some crucial branded materials for an upcoming event, without any notice. I urgently needed a solution, and the team at SM1 stepped in and saved the day. Not only was the turnaround incredibly fast, but they were also proactive, helpful, and genuinely committed to finding a way to get everything sorted despite the tight deadline. The quality of the print work was excellent, and their customer service was even better. What could have been a very stressful and costly situation turned into a success thanks to their flexibility, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile. I can’t recommend SM1 Print Studio highly enough. If you need reliable printing and exceptional service, they’re the team to call.

I can not recommend enough! We used them for wedding stationery and although it was estimated to be ready within 2 working days which is great, the turn around was the same day! Easy process and friendly staff, will be using them again in the future

We approached Sam and the team for help with my son's fundraising event. They went above and beyond and generously gifted the flyers which were printed extremely professionally and service was extremely quick. Thank you so much!

I have used SM1 print for almost a year now for my business printing. Sam and the team are absolutely fantastic to work with. Jobs are turned around as fast as they can and the quality is superb. When I asked to see where we could save some money, Sam's advice was straightforward and helpful. Whenever I've had a question about a job, or queried a price, everything has been explained well (to add, I think the price point is extremely competitive and the service and quality is worth every penny). Overall, I would 100% recommend SM1 print studio, I'm always met with a smile and a friendly chat, which makes the service all the more personal.

I ordered some coloured digital prints from SM1 Print, and there’s a reason they call their service Express Posters because it truly is lightning fast! I sent my files over on Monday and they were at my door the very next morning. Beyond the impressive turnaround time, the print quality and the vibrant colour were fantastic, all for a very reasonable price. The customer service was also top-notch throughout. Thanks again SM1 Print,
