What Size Banners Do You Need For Apex Stages?

As an event coordinator or production management company, you’re going to spend a lot of time quoting your mobile stage needs, lighting, sound, layout of the stage at the event, safety, weather, and a whole lot more.

As the banner printer of choice for thousands of events, we can testify that one drastically overlooked item is: stage banners!

We know this because too often, we get the call for stage banners just a week or two prior to the event. Now, that’s not necessarily a problem as we can often print and ship in as little as 2 days (though typically, it’s 5-7 business days production time), but it will definitely save you unnecessary stress to get this handled earlier.

If you’re renting an Apex 3224 stage, here are the specs you’ll need to know:

Banner Sizes For The Apex Stages

This list shows all types of Apex models, and the banner sizes you’ll need for each model. Please note that NorthCoast Banners always lists the height first, then the width – H x W.

20′ x 16′ Apex Stage Banner Sizes

Stage Backdrop: 16′ 5″ x 20′
Left And Right Speaker Banners (Stage Scrims): 16′ x 4′
Stage Header (Top Banner): 3′ x 20′

24′ x 20′ Apex Stage Banner Sizes

Stage Backdrop: 16′ 5″ x 24′
Left And Right Speaker Banners (Stage Scrims): 16′ 2″ x 4′
Stage Header (Top Banner): 3′ x 24′

24′ x 24′ Apex Stage Banner Sizes

Stage Backdrop: 29′ x 42′
Left And Right Speaker Banners (Stage Scrims): 29′ x 12′
Stage Header (Top Banner): 4′ x 24′
Stage Skirt (runs along bottom of stage): 4′ x 24′

32′ x 24′ Apex Stage Banner Sizes

Stage Backdrop: 16′ x 24′
Left And Right Speaker Banners (Stage Scrims): 19’9″ x 4′
Stage Header (Top Banner): 3′ x 32′

*Note: Though the official Apex 3224 banner spec book lists 4′ high for the header, according to our official Apex sales representative, a 3′ high top header banner is most ideal.

42′ x 40′ Apex Stage Banner Sizes

Stage Backdrop: 29′ x 42′
Left And Right Speaker Banners (Stage Scrims): 29′ x 12′
Stage Header (Top Banner): 4′ x 42′
Stage Skirt (runs along bottom of stage): 4′ x 74′

Note on the header banner for the 42×40 stage – some stage owners will recommend a 4′ height, and some will recommend 3.5′. The lower height will result in a cleaner line that won’t roll under the arms that hold up the header banner. Reach out to us for photos of both of these options and further explanation.

How Long Does It Take To Print Apex Stage Banners?

It takes 5 – 7 business days, on our normal turnaround, but we can often print banners in as little as 2 days. However, we recommend allowing at least 2 to 3 weeks lead time when ordering banners.

That gives us enough time to validate your artwork, send you proofs, print and then ship your banners to you.

How Much Do Apex Stage Banners Cost?

The cost for Apex stage banners ranges from as low us $384 for two 20′ x 16′ on the 20×16, to over $2,000 for a full stage banner package on one of the larger models.

We price the banners based on the production costs per square foot, so the easiest way to get a quote is to contact us here for a stage banner quote. We’ll get back to you within one business day with a great price.
