Best Uses for a 3x5 Banner
- Storefront windows, walls, and entrances
- Fences at sports fields, schools, and job sites
- Team, sponsor, and league signs
- Church, school, and community events
- Birthday, retirement, and graduation parties
Finishing Options for 3x5 Banners
- Print only: edges trimmed to size, no grommets. Good for mounting flat on a board or frame.
- Grommets only: grommets along the edges for hanging with ties, hooks, or bungee cords.
- Hemmed edges plus grommets: edges folded over and reinforced, with grommets for hanging. The sturdiest choice for outdoor use.
Optional on any size: pole pockets (sleeves for a pole or rod) and wind slits (small cuts that let wind pass through on fences and outdoor walls; single-sided banners only).
Outdoors, hemmed edges plus grommets hold up best. Indoors, grommets only is usually enough.
3x5 Banner FAQ
What is the size of a 3x5 banner?
A 3x5 banner is 3 ft high and 5 ft wide: 36 × 60 in (91.4 × 152.4 cm), or 15 sq ft. It’s a horizontal banner, about 1.7 times as wide as it is tall.
Is a 3x5 banner the same as a 5x3 banner?
No. We list sizes as height × width, so a 3x5 banner is horizontal (3 ft high, 5 ft wide) and a 5x3 banner is vertical (5 ft high, 3 ft wide). Some printers list width first, so check the orientation before you order.
What’s the difference between a 3x5 and a 3x6 banner?
Both are 3 ft high. A 3x6 is 12 in wider: 18 sq ft compared with 15 sq ft, about 20% more area. A 3x5 fits narrower spaces like windows and wall panels; a 3x6 gives a longer message more room.
How far away can you read a 3x5 banner?
With headline letters about 9 in tall, a 3x5 banner can be read from about 90 ft. Phone numbers and web addresses about 3 in tall can be read from about 30 ft. This uses the sign-industry rule of thumb of 1 inch of letter height per 10 ft of distance.
How should I set up my 3x5 banner file?
Set it up in the same shape as the banner: 60 in wide by 36 in high, or a smaller version with the same proportions. For resolution, file types, and how large to design, see our custom banner artwork specifications. Designing online instead? See how to design a banner online.
How much does a 3x5 banner cost?
Single-sided 3x5 banners start at $22.35. The final price depends on the order option and finishing you choose, and whether it’s double-sided. The price table on this page always shows current prices.
