Billboard Pockets
Billboard Pockets
Several of our customers have questions about the pocket and wrap on their billboards. While it can seem complicated it is pretty easy once you go through a little billboard education.
Please watch our quick video on billboard pockets. LINK. On this video we explain what a billboard pocket looks like and how it is used.
- Billboards have 3″ pockets with a 6″ wrap. However you can have a custom pocket and wrap if you wish.
- Wrap and pocket can be different sizes for different applications.
- Feel free to send us a photo of your billboard and we can get a good idea on what size pockets you will need.
How billboard pockets work
Pockets are sleeves along the edges of a vinyl billboard. During installation, a pipe or rod slides through each pocket, and the rods are tied to the billboard frame so the vinyl can be pulled tight across the face. The wrap is the extra vinyl that folds around the frame so the edges look clean from the road.
Getting the pocket and wrap sizes right is what keeps a board smooth and wrinkle-free. If you are not sure what your structure needs, send us a spec sheet or a photo of your billboard and our team will help. You can also read our tips on billboards that are not pulling tight, or learn more about outdoor structures from the Out of Home Advertising Association of America.
