BANNERS AMERICA

THE BANNER FIELD GUIDE

Make the right
size statement.

From senior night to Sunday service: choose a size, prepare your artwork, and order with a clear plan.

01 / SIZE

Measure the space first.

All dimensions are height × width. Measure the display area and leave room to attach your banner. The examples below are starting points, not installation requirements.

Popular banner sizes in feet — height × width
SizeA useful starting point forLayout idea
2 × 4 ftWelcome signs, birthdays, smaller displaysOne clear headline and a photo or logo
2 × 6 ftTable fronts, sponsor messages, event signsA wide headline with supporting details
3 × 6 ftSchool events, church gatherings, celebrationsA headline, focal image and short message
3 × 8 ftLonger displays, team and sponsor bannersGroup information with generous spacing

The custom studio offers the full standard size menu, including larger sizes and portrait rotation. Room Editions offers only formats selected for each artwork. The exact dimensions appear before checkout.

02 / MATERIAL

Two weights. Full color on both.

13 oz

Premium vinyl

Our standard vinyl scrim option for school spirit, parish gatherings, celebrations and everyday events.

18 oz

Heavyweight vinyl

Choose the heavier vinyl scrim when you want more substance. The same design freedom and full-color printing apply.

“Ounces” describes material weight per square yard. Both options are single-sided, with welded edges and optional grommets. Colors do not change the price. Hanging hardware is not included.

Ask us about exposed or windy locations before ordering. Material weight alone does not establish a wind rating or guarantee a lifespan.

03 / ARTWORK

Your image, without the guesswork.

  1. Use the original file. Upload JPG, PNG or WebP. A screenshot or social-media download often contains less detail than the original photo. For a logo with no background, try a transparent PNG.
  2. Choose how it fits. “My image is the whole banner” fills your design with an image. “Match banner to photo” finds a supported proportion. Fit keeps the whole image with possible borders; fill covers the banner and may crop the edges. Check faces and words in the preview.
  3. Check clarity at print size. The studio flags images below 150 pixels per inch for review. Enlarging a file does not restore detail. For example, a full 2 × 4 ft photo needs 3,600 × 7,200 pixels to reach 150 PPI at that size; your viewing distance and artwork also matter.
  4. Keep important content away from edges. Use the studio's guides and inspect the finishing preview. Switch grommets on or off to see your choice. Avoid placing faces or small text near attachment points.
  5. Review before ordering. Check spelling, dates, height × width, material and crop. Your proof and production artwork travel with the Shopify order for our team to review.

Only upload artwork you own or have permission to reproduce. For PDF, vector or very large files, email our team before ordering.

04 / YOUR OCCASION

One occasion. A clear message.

Schools & athletics

Athlete portraits, senior night, performances, team recognition and sponsor displays. Prepare names, photos you may use, school colors and the event date. For a roster, confirm each name and image pairing before checkout.

Design for your school →

Churches & community

Service times, parish festivals, welcome banners and seasonal gatherings. Put the main message first; keep directions and dates readable at the distance people will see them.

Design for your church →

Events & celebrations

Birthdays, reunions, markets, fundraisers and grand openings. Start with the event name, one focal image, and only the details someone needs to act.

Design for your event →

05 / ORDERING

Design. Review. Deliver.

Buy through Banners America. Our team reviews the artwork, then our independent production partner prints and ships directly to you. Your shipment may show Sitto Sign Company. Tracking is sent when the order ships.

Standard contiguous-US delivery is included. Taxes are shown at checkout. For a deadline, confirm timing with us before paying: artwork readiness, location and holidays affect production and transit.

Custom-banner codes and the Room Editions sale are separate. Room Editions prices already include its sale; promotional codes do not apply to those pieces.
