Question
How do I choose the right banner size?
Answer
Start with viewing distance and the space you have to hang the banner. The farther away your audience is, the bigger the banner and the text need to be.
| Setting | Typical viewing distance | Suggested size |
|---|---|---|
| Indoor booth, table, events and parties | 3 to 10 ft | 2x4 ft up to 3x5 ft |
| Storefronts and building fronts | 10 to 30 ft | 3x6 ft to 3x8 ft or larger |
| Trade shows and stages | 10 to 30 ft | 4x8 ft and up |
| Roadside and long-distance viewing | 50 ft or more | 4x8 ft and up, the largest practical size for the mount |
- Measure the mounting area first so the banner fits the wall, fence, or frame.
- For outdoor placements, go at least 3 feet tall so the banner reads from the street, and keep the copy short: a headline and one line of detail beat a paragraph.
- Custom dimensions are available when a standard size does not fit your space.
- Keep the aspect ratio in mind so your artwork is not stretched or cropped.
