All banners are 33″ x 84″.
Set canvas size (image size) to real banner size in inches (33″x84″).

Resolution

Design the banner at 300 dpi or higher since this will help you take maximum advantage of a banner printer.

File Types

Saving your design in high resolution PDF is highly recommended.  Also submit the original file as a jpg to make sure you get the correct output.

Design Area

Keep all text within the 1-inch margins to avoid the possibility of any text being cut off during the finishing process. Do not include bleeds, printer prints edge to edge. Include background color in your file.

Important Design Tips

  • Keep text and images 4″ from top and bottom for an optimal viewing experience
  • Use high-quality images
  • Keep it simple and try not to clutter the design with text
  • Using a thicker font for text will allow the viewer to read it from a distance
  • Don’t skew logos or images – make sure they are scaled proportionately when scaled up or down.
