PVC Banner Sizes: Which Size Do You Need?

Every PVC banner is hemmed and finished with eyelets, ready to hang. These are our preset sizes, with a typical use for each:

• 1000 × 500mm: a compact banner for a gate, a short railing or a shop window. See the 1m × 0.5m page.
• 1500 × 600mm: a little wider, for a stall front, a doorway or a short fence panel. See the 1.5m × 0.6m page.
• 2000 × 600mm: a slim, wide strip for railings and the top of a shopfront. See the 2m × 0.6m page.
• 2000 × 1000mm: an all-rounder for fences, walls and event stands. See the 2m × 1m page.
• 3000 × 900mm: a long banner for a wide railing or the front of a building. The nearest size page is 3m × 1m.
• 4000 × 1000mm: for longer fences, sports grounds and big shopfronts. See the 4m × 1m page.
• 6000 × 1200mm: our largest preset, for long frontages and sites that need to be seen from the road. See the 6m × 1.2m page.

The calculator on the product page shows your exact price as you choose the size, sides and production speed.

If you think in feet, these size pages cover the common imperial banner sizes:

• 4 × 2ft (1219 × 610mm): 4ft × 2ft banners
• 6 × 2ft (1829 × 610mm): 6ft × 2ft banners
• 6 × 3ft (1829 × 914mm): 6ft × 3ft banners
• 8 × 3ft (2438 × 914mm): 8ft × 3ft banners
• 10 × 3ft (3048 × 914mm): 10ft × 3ft banners
• 3m × 2m (3000 × 2000mm): 3m × 2m banners

These are printed as custom sizes, so you can also type in any width and height of your own.

Start with the space, then work backwards from how far away people will be.

• Measure the fence, railing or wall first. Measure the width and height you actually have, and leave a small gap at each end so the banner can be tied off neatly.
• Think about viewing distance. The further away people are when they first see it, the bigger the banner and the bigger the lettering needs to be. A banner read from a pavement can be smaller than one read from a passing car.
• Keep the message short. A logo, a headline and a web address or phone number read better than a paragraph.
• Think about wind. A very large banner on an exposed spot catches more wind. For scaffolding and other windy or exposed sites, a mesh banner is the better choice. Mesh banners are quoted, so ask us for a quote.

Our guide to hanging a PVC banner covers the fixing side.

If none of the presets fit, enter your own size on the product page. We print custom banners from 500 to 10000mm wide and 300 to 3000mm high, so up to 10m × 3m. Single or double-sided is your choice, and the price updates as you change the size.

We print on two weights of PVC. 440gsm is the heavier, harder-wearing option, so choose it for banners that will be outside, fixed in place for a while or hung somewhere exposed. 300gsm is lighter and lower in cost, which suits shorter promotions and events.

PVC banners ship rolled, so only the shorter side counts for courier size. Anything over 1500mm on the shorter side is a large item, which is why our 6000 × 1200mm banner (1200mm on the shorter side) is not a large item, while a 3000 × 2000mm banner is. For a large item, choose large-item delivery at checkout and we will email you a delivery price to approve, usually within one working day.

Standard UK delivery takes 3 to 5 working days, or 1 working day with next day delivery. We make every banner at our Manchester production HQ and deliver UK-wide.
