Check whether one of our standard satin shades is a close match before choosing your print method. If your logo or text can be printed in one colour, a standard shade may be the more economical option. Multi-colour or detailed artwork will still require full-colour printing.

Our stanchion poles and VIP queue barrier posts provide a smart way to create entrances, ribbon-cutting areas, red carpet displays and controlled queues for grand openings and events.
Choose polished silver-coloured posts for your grand opening ribbon, or create a traditional VIP entrance using stanchion posts with coordinating ropes. Sets are available for smaller ceremonies as well as larger events requiring multiple posts.
For ribbon-cutting ceremonies, position the posts on either side of the entrance and secure your ceremony ribbon between them to create a clearly defined focal point for guests, photographers and the ribbon-cutting moment.
Stanchion Poles for Grand Openings & Events
Stanchion poles are commonly used at shop openings, business launches, corporate events, showrooms, property developments and VIP events. Their weighted bases allow the posts to stand independently, making them useful where there is no suitable wall, doorway or fixing point for the ribbon.
Using Stanchion Posts for a Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony
For a traditional grand opening, place a stanchion post at either side of the ribbon-cutting area and attach your ribbon between the posts. The ribbon can then be held securely in position ready for the ceremonial cut.
For larger entrances, additional posts can be used to create a more substantial event area or to guide guests towards the ceremony.
VIP Queue Barriers & Rope Posts
Stanchion posts can also be combined with queue ropes to create VIP entrances, red carpet walkways and organised queuing areas. This makes them useful beyond the ribbon-cutting itself, particularly for launches and events where guests need to be directed through a particular entrance.
Complete Your Grand Opening Display
For a complete ribbon-cutting set-up, combine your stanchion poles with wide grand opening ribbon, ceremonial scissors and large decorative bows. Alternatively, our complete ribbon-cutting ceremony packages provide a convenient way to order several of the items required for your opening together.
Yes. Our stanchion poles are made from stainless steel and can be used for both indoor and outdoor grand openings and events.
For outdoor ceremonies, position the posts on a suitable level surface and take the weather conditions into account when setting up your ribbon-cutting area.
We normally recommend tying the grand opening ribbon directly around each stanchion pole.
A large decorative bow can then be positioned over the tied section. This hides the knot, gives the ceremony a more finished appearance and helps frame the ribbon-cutting photographs.
