A banner hanger for gripping an edge region of a poster consists of an elongate extruded piece, having overlapping upper and lower parts. The lower part is composed of two separate members for receiving a poster when in an open position and gripping the poster in a closed position. The upper part is for biasing the lower part in either of an open or closed position and for exerting an over- center biasing force. The upper part consists of two side walls, joined by a bridging member. The upper part biases the lower part together to grip a poster. In one version, the banner hanger is symmetric about an imaginary vertical plane, for suspending a poster from a ceiling or other overhead member. A matching clip fitting within a central slot in the upper part, may be used together with the hanger for suspension from a ceiling. In another aspect, a locking mechanism holds the lower part in a closed position to provide an additional gripping force. The locking mechanism consists of separate overlapping components in the upper and lower parts, which engage each other when the lower part is closed.
