If you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, or someone who needs to print a sign but has no idea what the standard signage sizes are, you’ve come to the right page. In this blog post, we will guide you through the standard sizes of products at Signs.com and some of their most common uses.
Standard Banner Sizes
There are a variety of standard banner sizes that are used for different purposes. The most common banner size for trade shows and other indoor events is 48” x 96.” This size is large enough to be seen from a distance, but not so large that it becomes cumbersome to transport or set up.
Banners that will be displayed outdoors typically need to be much larger to be visible from a distance, think around 48” x 144” or larger. It is also important to consider the material that the banner will be made from, as different materials are better suited for different environments. Mesh banners, for example, are good for outdoor use because they allow wind to pass through them, preventing them from becoming tangled or damaged.
Here are the standard sizes for banners based on the materials used:
Vinyl
- 6’ x 3’ (72” x 36”)
- 4’ x 2’ (48” x 24”)
- 8’ x 4’ (96” x 48”)
Fabric
- 4’ x 8’ (48” x 96”)
- 8’ x 10’ (96” x 120”)
Mesh
- 4’ x 2’ (48” x 24”)
- 6’ x 3’ (72” x 36”)
- 5’ x 10’ (60” x 120”)
Which Type of Banner Should I Go With?
Now that you know the different types of banners, you need to decide which type is best for your needs. Vinyl banners are durable and perfect for outdoor use, fabric banners are a good option if you’re looking for a high-quality, luxurious look, and mesh banners are great for large-scale events since they allow wind to pass through them. No matter what type of banner you choose, we can help you create a design that will perfectly represent your business or event.
Vinyl Banners
There are many reasons why you might want to choose to go with a vinyl banner. For one, they are affordable, durable, and great for indoor/outdoor use. They also have a matte finish which gives them a more professional look. Another great thing about vinyl banners is that they come with grommets and a welded hem, making them tear and weather-resistant. In fact, the same material used for billboards is often used for vinyl banners, due to its high quality and durability. Lastly, vinyl banners are printed using high-quality, UV-resistant ink, ensuring that they look great no matter where you put them.
Fabric Banners
A fabric banner is a great option for indoor use. They are typically made from a 100% polyester and are printed using dye sublimation, which results in a high-quality print that is both lightweight and durable. This makes them perfect for use in tradeshows, presentations, and other events where you need a portable and professional-looking display.
Mesh Banners
Mesh banners are a great alternative to vinyl and fabric banners. They are good for both indoor and outdoor use and can be used for both temporary and permanent purposes. Mesh banners have a 70:30 ratio compared to vinyl, which means that they are less likely to rip or tear. This also allows wind to pass through, which is important for outdoor applications. Mesh banners are mostly used on chain-link fences, as they provide good visibility and airflow.
Standard Yard Sign Sizes
Yard signs are an effective way to get a message out to the public. They are made from 4mm corrugated plastic with vertical fluting and are used outdoors. The most common sizes for yard signs are 18×24, 22×28, and 24×36 inches, but they can be made in any size. The text and graphics are printed on one or two sides of the sign and the fluting gives it extra strength. Yard signs can be placed in the ground or attached to a fence or other object.
- 24” x 6”
- 24” x 18”
- 18” x 12”
- 36” x 18”
- 2’ x 2’ (24” x 24”)
- 4’ x 4’ (48” x 48”)
Yard Sign Accessories
Aside from the common sizes, there are also different ways to install or prop up yard signs. They can be hung, mounted in frames, or displayed with optional wire stakes. Wire stakes also come in two types: Standard and heavy-duty. Standard wire stakes are made out of 9 gauge steel while the heavy-duty ones are made of a base of ¼” steel and a welded top of 9 gauge steel. This feature allows heavy-duty stakes to have more support and stability in them.
Other frames that are often used for yard signs are real estate frames and premium A-frames. Real estate frames are installed using optional grommets, rope, or string. These are made for standard 24” x 18” signs and can hold different types of materials. Premium A-frames on the other hand, are typically used as sandwich boards for retail estate signs.
A yard sign is an effective way to get your message out to the public. They can be mounted anywhere and be used for a variety of purposes. For example, yard signs can be used for real estate promotions, events, political campaigns, or conveying political views. If you’re a candidate running for office, you need larger signs that can make people driving or walking by easily read your values and advocacy. Yard signs are also a great way to increase visibility for your business or organization.
Standard Aluminum Sign Sizes
Aluminum signs are a great way to get your message out there. They are weather-resistant, meaning they can withstand weather conditions in most climates, and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit your needs. Standard sizes for aluminum signs include:
- 12″ x 12”
- 24″ x 6”
- 18″ x 24”
- 2′ x 2′ (24” x 24”)

ColoradoCanopies.com offers these standard sizes as well as any size or shape you could need, so you can create the perfect sign for your business or event.
Aluminum Sign Applications
There are many reasons why aluminum signs are a popular choice for signage. They are durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions, making them ideal for outdoor use. They are also lightweight and easy to transport, which makes them a good option for temporary or seasonal signage. Additionally, aluminum signs are very affordable, making them a cost-effective option for businesses and organizations of all sizes.
Aluminum signs can be used for a variety of applications, including street/road signs, highway signs, speed limit signs, parking signs, smoking, regulatory, and beware of dog signs. They are an effective way to get your message across to drivers and pedestrians, and they can help improve safety and communication in your community.
Standard Plastic Sign Sizes
Plastic signs are durable and affordable signs that can be used for both indoor and outdoor purposes. These signs are made of either 3mm or 6mm PVC plastic and printed with UV-resistant ink. With proper care and storage, these signs can last for many years. They can also be single or double-sided, as well as eco-friendly and recyclable.
The standard sizes of plastic signs:
- 2” x 12”
- 24” x 12”
- 36” x 18”
- 2’ x 4’ (24” x 48”)
- 4’ x 4’ (48” x 48”)
- 4’ x 8’ (48” x 96”)
The 3mm sign is a thinner and less expensive option, while the 6mm sign is thicker and more durable. Both signs are waterproof and can be used outdoors, but the 6mm sign is better suited for harsher weather conditions. The printing on these signs is high quality and will not fade in the sun or rain.
Single-sided plastic signs are great for displaying messages from a single direction, while double-sided signs allow you to display information from both sides. This makes them perfect for use in busy areas where people will be walking past from multiple directions.
Eco-friendly plastic signs are made of recycled materials, while recyclable signs can be turned back into new plastic signs after they have served their purpose. This makes them a more sustainable choice for businesses and organizations who want to reduce their environmental impact.
Standard Advertising Flag Sizes
Advertising flags are one of the most popular means of advertising because they are portable, durable, and can be used outdoors. They come in a variety of shapes, including feather, angled, teardrop, and rectangle. The most common shape for advertising flags is the rectangle, which is also the easiest to produce. The feather and angled shapes are more difficult to make but provide a more eye-catching display. The teardrop shape is also popular because it is easy to transport and sets up quickly.
