"What size banner do I need?" depends entirely on where it's going. Here's a practical size guide for the jobs we print most often.

Quick Answer

5ft x 3ft is the single most ordered banner size and suits most shop fronts, halls, garden parties and stage backdrops. Smaller spaces pick 4ft x 2ft, larger spaces tile two 5ft x 3ft panels.

Shop Front Banners

If you can stand across the road and not read it from there, the banner is too small. Size is the first thing people notice.

Wedding Signage

Event / Conference

Builders / Construction

When in doubt, go 5ft by 3ft. It is the Swiss Army knife of banner sizes, it fits almost anywhere.

Quick Rule of Thumb

If you're not sure: 5ft Γ— 3ft is the single most ordered size. Fits nearly every space, reads well from 30–50 feet. When in doubt, go 5Γ—3.

Measure before you order

Tape up some newspaper at the target size first. Step back, check from across the road. Adjust before you print, not after.
