4’x8’ Banner Options and Specs
4x8 is the biggest banner we print and is perfect for those large outdoor banners business retailers use. It is the same size as a 4x8 plywood or drywall sheet for a good solid backdrop and measures a full 48x96 inches. When you need to create that perfect outdoor billboard, our 4 foot by 8 foot size is the perfect display for any business message where attracting attention from a distance is important. Great for building ads, or a roadside attention getting message, these mini billboard banners, are popular advertising mediums for real estate professionals and retailers looking to attract motorists and passing traffic. At 4x8 feet in size these 48x96 inch banners can be used to display your ad vertically or in a horizontal (landscape) banner message depending on where you will display your banner.

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.
