How much does a bunting cost in Malaysia? A standard 2 x 5 ft roadside bunting is RM19.99 on 340gsm flex, finished with a wooden dowel and string ready to hang. Bunting is the cheapest way to advertise in bulk here, which is why it lines the roadside for every property launch, tuition centre and Ramadan bazaar.

Which material
- Flex 340gsm — the standard roadside bunting. Weatherproof, cheap enough to print dozens, and right for campaigns lasting weeks.
- Premium flex 510gsm — thicker and more tear-resistant, worth it when the bunting stays up for months or is in a windy spot.
- Smooth synthetic PP — a smoother, cleaner print surface for indoor bunting and anything photographed up close.
Bunting vs banner: which do you need?
They are printed on similar material but finished differently. A bunting is a tall, narrow piece with a wooden dowel and string, designed to hang from a pole, fence or railing in a repeated run. A banner is wider, finished with eyelets or pole pockets, and usually hung as a single piece across a shopfront or stage.
If you are lining a road or a fence with the same message, order bunting. If you want one large piece over an entrance, order a banner.
If you don't have a pole or fence to hang it from, a bunting stand gives it a free-standing base instead.
Before you print a roadside run
Local councils regulate roadside advertising, and unlicensed bunting is routinely removed. Check with the council for the area before committing to a large run — the same authority that issues your signboard licence usually handles temporary advertising permits too.
FAQ
How much does a bunting cost in Malaysia?
A 2 x 5 ft bunting on 340gsm flex is RM19.99, including the wooden dowel and string. A 3 x 6 ft is RM35.94. Pricing is by area at RM2.00 per square foot with a RM15 minimum per piece, and bulk discounts apply automatically at 3 or more.

What is the difference between a bunting and a banner?
A bunting is tall and narrow with a wooden dowel and string, made to hang in a repeated run along a road or fence. A banner is wider, finished with eyelets or pole pockets, and hung as a single piece. Same print, different finishing and purpose.
Do I need a permit for roadside bunting?
Usually yes. Local councils regulate temporary roadside advertising and unlicensed bunting is often removed without notice. Check the requirements with the council for that area before printing a large run.
How long does bunting last outdoors?
340gsm flex holds up for several weeks to a few months of Malaysian sun and rain, which suits most campaigns. For anything staying up longer, or in an exposed windy spot, premium 510gsm resists tearing at the dowel considerably better.
