3x6 is the biggest banner we print and is perfect for those large
outdoor banners business retailers use. It is the same size as a 3x6 plywood or drywall sheet for a good solid backdrop and measures a full 48x96 inches.
When we talk about one size fits all the 3x6 banner surely comes to mind as the clear winner. We'd estimate that out of all of the banner sizes generally used, that the 3x6 foot makes up a good 50%, if not more, of all banners used! We know we have printed 1000's of 3x6 banners... And we are happy to print more! The benefits of the 3x6 size banner is that it is not too large to handle and definitely large enough to be seen clearly from a distance. They can be effectively used outdoors, advertising any business or event, placed on buildings, exterior walls, fences, or attach to awnings and posts. The 3x6 is the perfect choice to bring traffic into your business, advertise sales and promotions, or to raise awareness for your cause or charitable event. At 3x6 feet size (that equals 36x72 inches) this banner is usually ordered as a horizontal (landscape) banner, but it can also be printed vertically (as a portrait banner) if needed. In order to create your own banner, simply submit your file saved as either 3'x6' or 6'x3' layout and we'll figure out the rest.

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.
