What Size Banner Do I Need?
The right banner size depends on where it goes. A retractable stand is a standard 33 by 80 inches, a table runner matches your table front, and a booth backdrop spans your booth wall. Pick the placement and your space width above for a recommended size and design tips. Design your artwork at final size, keep headline text at least 6 inches tall so it reads from across the aisle, and leave a 2 inch quiet margin so nothing important sits near the trim. Pair your banner with branded staff apparel for a booth that looks the part.
FAQ
A retractable banner stand is a standard 33 by 80 inches, a table runner matches your table front (usually 6 to 8 feet), and a backdrop spans your booth wall. Pick your placement above for a recommended size.
33 inches wide by 80 inches tall is the most common retractable, or roll-up, banner size. Wider 47 inch versions exist for larger spaces.
Keep headline text at least 6 inches tall so it reads from across the aisle, and body text large enough to read from a few feet away. Less text at a larger size beats a crowded banner.
Design at 100 to 150 DPI at the final print size. Large-format printing is viewed from a distance, so it does not need photo-print resolution.
Leave a quiet margin of about 2 inches around the edges so no important text or logo sits near the trim or the stand hardware.
