Banner Sizes in South Africa: The Complete Reference
Banner Sizes questions answered by the team that prints it every day. Platinum Digital Printing runs its own presses, embroidery machines and large-format printers in Randburg, Johannesburg — this guide shares what we tell our own clients, with no sales fog.
Pull-Up Banner Sizes
Standard 850 x 2000mm; wide formats 1000, 1200 and 1500mm x 2000mm. Double-sided units share the same footprint.
The 850mm standard fits every venue and vehicle boot — the default for good reason.
Flag Sizes
Telescopic and shark-fin flags run 2m, 3m, 4m and 5m tall. 3m is the forecourt sweet spot: visible down the street, manageable in wind, fits under most eaves.
Teardrops run slightly shorter per pole class.
Banner Wall Sizes
Straight walls: 2.25m, 3m, 4.5m and 6m wide by ~2.25m tall. Curved formats trade a little width for depth presence.
Shell-scheme expo booths take the 3m straight perfectly.
Outdoor PVC Custom Sizes
PVC banners print to any size — common calls are 2x1m fence banners, 3x1m building banners and 6x1m construction wraps, eyeleted every 500mm.
