Most options use paper-based materials, including standard paper, recycled kraft paper, sturdy cardstock, and heavier paper used for hanging strips or photo holders.
Pennant sizes vary from small mini flags (about 2" wide x 3" tall) up to standard pennants (around 5.5" wide x 8.5" high), so you can choose a compact or larger banner look.
Photo banner listings typically show either twelve 4x6 vertical photo placeholders or kits with 14 photo holders; the photo slots are sized for 4x6 vertical photos.
Common finishes include a hand-painted look on kraft paper, a printed glitter effect that avoids loose glitter, and vibrant full-color or double-sided printing for a polished party appearance.
Banners are commonly used on mantels, walls, staircases, doorways, party tables, and as photo backdrops. They also work well for event entrances, dessert or gift tables, and office send-offs.
Photo holders are listed at about 5.5" by 8.75" and are designed to hold one 4x6 photo vertically. Holders have slots and pre-cut tabs/slits so photos tab into place, and the ribbon threads through for hanging.
