Size guide

Player banner sizes.

A practical guide for choosing from the current Varsity Banners player banner sizes. Match the format to the viewing distance, display space, and amount of detail in the design.

01Compact

Use 18x24 when the banner will be viewed up close.

This smaller format works best for tight spaces, indoor keepsakes, table displays, and close-viewing moments where the design does not need to carry a lot of detail.

Best for close viewing in hallways, lockers, rooms, and small displays.

Keep the name, number, and team mark large and simple.

Avoid sponsor-heavy or detail-heavy layouts at this size.

02Standard

Choose Standard 24x36 for the classic player banner.

This is the default individual athlete format: enough room for a strong portrait, readable name, jersey number, team mark, and class year without feeling oversized indoors.

Strong fit for senior nights, gym walls, banquets, and family keepsakes.

Works well with a single athlete portrait and bold typography.

Usually the safest starting point when you are unsure.

03Mid-size

Move to 30x45 when standard needs more presence.

The larger canvas gives the player image more room and helps the banner feel more substantial in gyms, event corridors, entrances, and ceremony setups.

Good when the display area is larger but still mostly indoor.

Keeps the same vertical player-banner feel at a stronger scale.

Useful for team sets where the banners should feel more prominent.

04Large

Use 36x48 for fences, larger rooms, and longer reads.

This wider large-format option is better when people will see the banner from farther away or when the design needs a stronger headline, logo, or sponsor area.

Better for fields, fence lines, larger gyms, and event spaces.

Gives layouts more room for school marks and supporting details.

Plan hanging space before ordering a full team set.

05Hero

Choose 48x72 when scale is the point.

This is the largest current player-banner format. Use it for entrances, high-visibility displays, ceremony moments, and installs where the banner needs to own the space.

Best for big venues, team entrances, and statement displays.

Use fewer words and a clear visual hierarchy.

Confirm mounting, wall space, and viewing distance first.

Still deciding?

If the banner will be used for a team set, ceremony, or specific venue, send the details and support can help match the size to the space.
