Vinyl banner sizes
Also called: 横断幕, vinyl banner
Vinyl banners are custom-sized rather than standardised. In the US they are sold in feet — 2 × 4, 3 × 6 and 4 × 8 ft are common — and finished with a 1 in welded hem and grommets at every corner and every 24–36 in along the edges. Keep text at least 2 in from the edge, where hems and grommets live.
In Korea, the shop-front banner (hyeonsumak) is typically 5000 × 900 mm, 4000 × 900 mm or 3000 × 700 mm, ordered in 5 cm steps. Files are usually built at full size with no bleed; some designers work at 1:10 scale (500 × 90 mm) and raise the resolution tenfold to compensate. Municipal banner boards set their own sizes, so check with the local authority before printing for one.
Finishing takes space from the design. Grommets punch holes near the edge, and pole pockets fold over 10–15 cm of fabric at the top and bottom. Put the name and phone number well inside those zones.
There is no national standard size for this product; every print shop sells its own sizes. The sizes below are common examples — download the template from the shop you order from before you start.

Bleed is how far artwork must extend past each trim edge; safe is how far inside the trim line text and logos should stay. Print shops ask for slightly different values, so always follow the file guide of the shop you order from.
