Printed barrier covers and banners
A crowd-control barrier is an advertising surface almost nobody uses. Line twelve of them along a route and you have thirty metres of communication at eye level — for the price of a fabric wrap, reusable every year.
It slips on from the top and holds on its own. No screws, no ties, no tools: two people dress around thirty barriers in an hour, and strip them just as fast. This is the version to choose when volunteers do the build.
Double-sided print, back identical or different Printed barrier bannerOne face, eyelets, cable ties. Cheaper than the cover and, more importantly, replaceable one at a time: on a thirty-barrier route you re-buy only the two torn pieces, not the whole set.
Single-sided print, eyelets all round Event barrier packTwelve barriers in a row are not twelve adverts: they are one sentence thirty metres long. We step your artwork across the series, allowing for the gaps between barriers, so the message reads as you walk the route.
Artwork stepped across the series, with or without a datable bandCover or banner: the practical difference
The cover slips over the barrier and dresses both sides with no fixings: the clean option for a recurring event and for a build done by volunteers. The banner tensions on one side with cable ties, costs less, and can be replaced individually if one piece is damaged.
Two formats, and why it matters
Barriers come with 12 and 18 bars, and both coexist in the same municipal stock. Count your barriers by format before ordering: a 12-bar cover will not fit an 18-bar frame, and that is the single most common cause of a re-order.
Wind, the only real technical question
A solid surface on a light barrier acts as a sail. In exposed positions, plan for foot ballast or ventilation slots, and set the barriers perpendicular to the prevailing wind where the route allows.
Reuse from one edition to the next
With no year printed on them, a set of covers lasts five to ten editions. Date a removable band only, or print no date at all: that decision divides the real annual cost by the number of editions.
