2’x4’ Banner Options and Specs
We only carry few carefully selected banner sizes and the 2x4 banner is for sure one of the most popular ones. It's versatile portable size makes it the size of choice for many uses, but it's particularly well suited for mobile and on the go advertising, as well as in indoor, retail, and trade show settings. Another great use is for all things personal - birthday banners, picnic, party and celebration banners. Probably the best way to describe it's size would be that it's the most comfortable size to hold in hands wide open. At 2x4 feet size (that equals 24x48 inches by the way) this banner can be ordered in landscape (horizontal) or portrait (vertical) layout. Simply submit your file saved to either 2'x4' or 4'x2' layout and we will figure out the rest - banner printing is what we do. Visit our File Setup Page for a step by step guide how to prepare and save your file for printing.

As a general rule, the more detailed your artwork is, the higher DPI (pixel count) it should to be. For pictures and photographs, lower pixel/dpi counts are fine (72-100dpi). For text rich artwork, and for files with lots of details such as logos, maps, menus, etc, use higher pixel/dpi count (150-300dpi).
72 dpi is the minimum resolution we would recommend for printing, and the 300 dpi for the maximum resolution.
