Popco’s snazzy hardware for hanging in style

May 21, 2025

form, function & elegance

Among our extensive line of sign-hanging rails, Popco’s top-of-the line offering is the aluminum Snaprail™ kit. This kit is a collection of products designed to grip sign stocks up to 0.07-inches thick and create a means of hanging signs, both long term, or for promotions that change frequently.

the kit contents

Aluminum Snaprail™ kits include one clear Snaprail™ — the part that open and closes to grip your sign. Also included is an aluminum shroud that encases the Snaprail™ and really ups the visual of the kit. Completing the kit are two end caps that, like the aluminum shroud, really finish the look of the kit in a way that is — dare we say — snazzy.

piecing it all together

The final pieces of the puzzle are the banner clips. These are the parts that slide into the top track of the aluminum shroud and create an attachment point for sign hanging. Banner clips are sold separately so that reatailers can choose between the two styles we offer (plastic or metal). Also, some retailers choose to use aluminum Snaprail™ kits at both the top and the bottom of signs they are hanging. When doing this, fewer banner clips are required, and by not including banner clips in the kits, retailers can order just what they need.

open-style hanging

The BRC-7 series plastic banner clips accommodate most of our hanging hardware options, such as the fixed-length double c-hooks (wire hooks) shown here. BRC-7 clips can also be used with closed-loop cables as a hanging option. In some scenarios, the cables give retailers greater flexibility when connecting their hanging signs to ceilings.

going full-on metal

BRC-3 series metal banner clips are a little less flexible in that they cannot be used with the closed-loop cables. However, some retailers prefer the BRC-3 clips for their metal finish which compliments the metal shroud.

Aluminum Snaprail™ kits are available in three stock lengths: 24, 36 and 48-inches. Custom lengths are also available. Choose your size, choose your clip style, and prepare to hang your signs in high style with Popco’s aluminum Snaprail™ kits.
