Skip to main contentLarge format is about clarity at distance and durability up close. Help customers focus on essentials while your templates handle sizing, bleed, and finishing.
Typical products
- Roll‑up banners, hanging banners
- Posters and window graphics
- Backdrops and step‑and‑repeat walls
- Yard signs and rigid boards (foam, PVC, ACM)
Building blocks
- Clearly marked safe areas, bleed, and finishing zones (grommets, pole pockets)
- Big‑type Smart Texts for headlines; minimal body copy
- High‑contrast color palettes for visibility
- Image placeholders constrained to aspect ratios that won’t crop faces awkwardly
Patterns that work
Single‑panel banners
- Set exact banner size in the Design; include grommet marks/pole pocket overlays as locked guides
- Use very large headline type; keep body copy short
- For event banners, provide a date/location Smart Text that’s easy to update
Multi‑panel or sectional graphics
- Use separate pages for each panel; name pages “Panel 1”, “Panel 2”, etc.
- For flexible ordering, combine with Page Selector so customers can add/remove sections
- Provide alignment marks across panels so seams align in print
Posters and rigid signs
- Offer aspect‑specific Designs (A‑series vs US sizes)
- Keep images at appropriate resolution; large prints can be sharp at lower PPI if viewed from distance, but avoid blocky artifacts
- Include optional QR Codes only if scanning distance makes sense
Image and type guidance
- Headline sizes should be legible from intended viewing distance (e.g., 10–20 ft)
- Prefer vector logos; raster images should meet minimum effective PPI at final size
- Use high‑contrast text/background combinations
Finishing and install notes
- Show grommet locations, hems, or pole pockets as locked template layers
- Keep critical content away from edges and hardware zones
- For double‑sided prints, build front/back pages and check mirroring as required
