What Size Banner Should You Order? (With Example Scenarios)
Share
Sizing for Common Scenarios
-
Storefront Windows: Typically 3×4 ft or 4×6 ft to fit within standard window panes and be readable from sidewalk traffic.
-
Trade Show Booths: Wider backdrops (8×10 ft) create immersiveness, while 2–3 ft table banners highlight your brand at eye level.
-
Outdoor Fences or Construction Sites: 4×8 ft panels are common—but always measure the span and include wind slit space to avoid tension issues.
Readability and Viewing Distance
A good rule: 1 ft of viewing distance = 1 in of capital letter height.
-
Sidewalk banners: Readable at 20 ft? Use at least 2 in tall lettering.
-
Highway or freeway-facing banners: 8–12 ft tall letters for clarity at speed.
Planning for Installation and Design Balance
Ensure your chosen banner size aligns with hanging hardware and space. If using stands, factor in stand footprint. For multi-panel designs, add bleed for seams. Leave 4–6 inches of white/empty space around edges to enhance durability during wind and install.
Measure it right—get the perfect fit.
