Post Fixings

Banding Tool Starter Kit

If you have a number of Banner Kits to fix, we recommend using a Banding Tool with heavy duty stainless banding strap & buckles because it works out more economical in the long run and is stronger. We stock two sizes of banding & buckles and the tool seperately, of you can add a Starter Kit which has a Banding Tool, 30 metres of 12mm banding and 100 buckles for a special price.

Screw Banding

If you have only a few Banner Poles to fit, it is more economical to use Screw Banding which require no special tooling. Whilst they're not as strong as the Banding System, they are stainless steel and look & work like a large 'Jubilee Clip'. You will need a pack of 2 Screw Bands or you can double up with 4 (2 packs).
