What is a standard banner size?

This is a question we get asked a lot at Essex Banners and its a hard question to answer really as it depends where the banner is going, what space you have to hang the banner, the material your going for and your budget.

It is important that you get the size right, as whatever you are promoting on your banner it needs to be seen and read easyly and quickly too get your message across.

You need to understand the location to help you decide what banner size would get noticed. Indoor banners are often smaller because customers are in an enclosed space, so your content can be seen from just a few feet away. If you’re promoting by the side of the road, you’ll need a large banner that pedestrians and drivers can see even from afar.

But what is small and what is a large banner?

To work out the best banner size and need to work out where you are putting the banner. Work out the measurements. Check the available space around the banner location to see how close customers need to be before they can read your message.
