Hi all,
This is in the context of a website for a communication agency, listing past clients and what they produced for them. One of these productions is "Baches Automne -Hiver 2005". Would this be "tarpaulins" or "tarps"? I don't know if this is the specific term in advertising?
Many thanks for any suggestions!

Wraps (bus wraps, building wraps)
I would not use "tarp" for advertising. The term is usually wrap. Hope that helps.

Lucy, if this is for a shop floor, it could simply be a banner, although in French they usually call banners kakémonos

advertising tarpaulins
How about "advertising tarpaulins". As far as I know, "tarpaulin" is UK and "tarp" is US, but as with most marketing stuff, there's probably a huge overlap.

Sara's got the right answer - ignore this one.

banner
Literally translated from French to English bache is a tarpaulin. However, in advertising the word more likely to be used is "banner" even though it may be made out of the material used for, and is in the form of a bache/tarpaulin. That is what I suggest in the context of advertising media.
