Graduation Banners & Signs

Same-Day Production / Free 3-Day Shipping

Graduation banners and graduation yard signs for the school that's ordering for the whole class. We build them for senior class sponsors, PTO and booster senior committees, and activities offices. Hang a backdrop on the stage, a welcome banner at the entrance, and a banner on the stadium fence. Then put a sign with each graduate's name in every senior's yard. One school specialist, one order path, and a proof before anything prints. Start with our custom school banners.

Graduation banners for the ceremony

Every spot in the ceremony has a job. Match the banner to it, and the whole venue looks planned, not patched together.

Stage and backdrop banners

The stage banner shows up in every diploma photo. Go big: 4×8 or 5×10 ft reads from the back rows and fills the frame. Indoors, school vinyl banners in 13 oz vinyl do the job. Keep the school name and Class of 2027 high, above the heads of graduates crossing the stage.

Entrance and welcome banners

Greet families at the door with a welcome banner in school colors. A 3×8 ft banner fits most entrances and hallways. For the check-in table, a retractable banner stand stands on its own, with no wall needed.

Stadium fence and outdoor ceremony banners

Outdoor ceremonies bring wind. On an open fence, choose mesh fence banners: air passes through, so the banner stays flat and readable. Long fence runs can take 5×12 to 5×20 ft. Tie off every grommet.

Photo-spot banners

Families want a picture before and after the ceremony. Set a 3×6 or 3×8 ft banner at eye level near the exit, with the school name, the mascot, and the class year. Keep faces clear of busy graphics so every photo looks sharp.

Class of 2027 banners

Graduation is the finish line, but senior year is full of moments: the first day, senior sunrise, the hallway Class of 2027 banner, senior night, grad night, and the last day. A banner for each one keeps the class in the spotlight all year. Hang a Class of 2027 banner in the main hallway on the first day, and it becomes the backdrop for a year of photos. For senior night, see senior night banners.

Here's the smart move: design your class art once, then reorder it for each event. There's no minimum on banners, so a single banner for one hallway or one event is fine. Swap the headline, keep the look, and every banner matches.

Graduation yard signs for every senior

Graduation yard signs are 18×24 corrugated plastic, printed in full color, one-sided or two-sided. Step stakes are included. Packs come in 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, or 48 signs.

Each sign in a pack can carry a different senior's name and number. So one pack covers a group of seniors, and several packs cover the whole class. Only the name and number change from sign to sign. The rest of the design stays the same.

Put them in every senior's front yard, line the school entrance, or mark the parade route. Order them alongside your banners, and the yard signs match the stage. Boosters and PTOs can also sell named signs to families: see school fundraiser yard signs. For more ideas, read graduation yard sign ideas.

How to order: upload your artwork, then email the name and number for each sign to sales@schoolsignsfast.com.

Graduation banner sizes

Choose from 7 stock sizes, or go custom. Bigger reads farther, so size up for anything seen from the stands.

Any custom size is available: email sales@schoolsignsfast.com for pricing. Sizing tip: plan about 1 inch of letter height for every 10 feet of viewing distance. Every size prints one-sided in full color.

Materials: which graduation banner lasts?

Pick by where the banner hangs, and how many years you want it.

How Long Will My Banner Last Outdoors? Our banner materials are built for outdoor use, but lifespan depends on sun exposure, wind, weather, and how the banner is installed. 13 oz Vinyl: Typically 1–3 years outdoors. Great for everyday banners, events, and seasonal signage. 15 oz Vinyl: Typically 2–4 years outdoors. A heavier, more durable option for longer-term displays. 18 oz Vinyl: Typically 3–5+ years outdoors. Our toughest vinyl option for demanding, long-term outdoor use. Mesh Vinyl: Typically 2–4 years outdoors. Designed to allow wind to pass through, making it ideal for fences, stadiums, and windy locations. For the longest life, keep banners properly tensioned and securely installed.

Hanging graduation banners

Every banner has reinforced hems, corners reinforced with internal polyester webbing, and metal grommets: holes about 3/8" wide in all 4 corners, spaced about every 24–36" along the edges. Tie off every grommet and pull the banner snug so it stays flat. Indoors, tie to railings or hooks your facilities team approves. Outdoors, use every grommet on the fence. Get approval from your facilities team before you hang anything. Step-by-step tips: how to hang school fence banners.

Graduation banner and yard sign FAQs

What size graduation banner should we order?

Choose from 7 stock sizes, from 3×6 to 5×20 ft. Stage backdrops usually run 4×8 ft or larger. Any custom size is available: email sales@schoolsignsfast.com for pricing.

Can graduation yard signs have each senior's name?

Are graduation yard signs one-sided or two-sided?

Either. Two-sided works when traffic passes from both directions. Every sign is 18×24 corrugated plastic, with step stakes included.

Which banner material is best for an outdoor graduation?

Mesh for open fences and wind, because air passes through. For a banner you'll hang again every year, choose 15 oz or 18 oz vinyl, our heavier and most durable options.

When should we order graduation banners?

Work backward from the ceremony date and leave a buffer day after proof approval. Once you approve: Same-Day Production / Free 3-Day Shipping. Files uploaded, paid, and approved by 3 PM Central go into production the same day. Files received after 3 PM are produced the next business day.

Do you have graduation banner templates?

No, we don't offer downloadable templates. Upload your own artwork, or our designers can build it for $9.99, credited toward your order. You approve a proof before we print.

Is there a minimum order?

There's no minimum on banners, so a single banner is fine. Yard signs come in packs of 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, or 48.
