The present invention comprises a wrap-around advertising surface, system and method of advertising on railings or other hand support systems and for use on poles or support beams. The wrap-around advertising surface includes a skin layer permanently adhered to a 4-way stretchable material layer, wherein the 4-way stretchable material layer is releasably adhered to a railing or other hand support system. A backing layer between the skin layer and the 4-way stretchable material layer can be inserted for support. The wrap-around advertising surface of the present invention is designed to be releasably attachable to the railing or other hand support system.
