Page Tiles Banners

Print a Banner on Multiple Pages

A banner is a poster that's one sheet tall and many sheets long. Make a wide picture, set how long it should be, and print it as a single row.

With Page Tiles defaults (1 cm margins, 10 mm overlap):

Landscape sheets make a slimmer banner with fewer seams. Portrait sheets make a taller one. Page Tiles picks whichever fits your picture in fewer sheets when orientation is on Auto.

Make and print the banner

Design a wide page in Keynote, Pages or Canva, using the banner’s shape. For a 200 × 19 cm banner, a document with the same proportions is about 10.5 times wider than it is tall. Use large letters and export a PDF so the text remains crisp.

Open the PDF in Page Tiles, choose By size, and enter 200 cm as the width. That example uses eight landscape A4 sheets in one row. Check the preview, then print and join the sheets in label order from A1 to A8. The assembly guide explains trimming and overlap.

A banner is a single row: A1 to A5, each joined over its neighbour’s overlap.

Hanging it

Join the sheets with tape on the back along each seam, then run a strip of tape along the whole top edge on the back to stop the joins bending. Punch holes at the ends through a folded strip of tape, and hang it on string. For outside, slip it inside a long clear sleeve or laminate it in sections.

Questions

Can I print a banner two sheets tall?

Yes. Make the picture taller, or choose By sheets and set 2 sheets tall. A 2 m × 30 cm banner takes 16 sheets of landscape A4 in two rows.
