Banner Request

Organizations may request one (1) banner to be printed by SUFAC until an existing banner is no longer usable (ie. damaged, out-of-date information, etc.) equating to one (1) banner per academic year.

  • Please choose a design that will showcase your student organization, and be used multiple times.
  • Banner size will be 2’ x 4 ‘(24” x 48”), this size will fit at the front of a table or behind on a white board.
  • Banners can be printed in full color and will be printed on polypropylene paper which can be used indoor or outdoor and has less of a chance of ripping.
  • You will be asked to send the final design within the request form found in Phoenix Connect.

Banner Design Resources

Specifications:

Dimensions: 48” (w) x 24” (h)
File Type: PDF or JPEG
Color Space: CMYK
Bleed: 1/8” + trim marks if you can

Design Tips:

  • It is preferable to have a white background rather than a solid color. For the banner will be a colored print on white paper. A lot of solid background ink could become streaky in printing.
  • All logos or graphics used on a banner should be high quality and fully legible. If it looks fuzzy on screen, it will look that way in print.
  • White/open space is a good thing! Make sure your design is not too cluttered.
  • Avoid using too many fonts. Your design should not exceed the use of three fonts.
  • Avoid including a long URL with random characters. It is preferable to include a place to find more information about your organization, such as a social media page or the Campus Calendar (calendar.uwgb.edu). QR codes are acceptable but may be subject to expiration if the link changes or becomes unavailable.
