Banners come in a variety of sizes. Older banners are usually a standard size (24x82 or 24x60.) Newer ones come in all different sizes, usually very large 3-4 in width, to 8-12 in length, either horizontally or vertically. Older examples were printed on bookbinder's cloth or light cardstock; modern ones are vinyl or light cardstock or paper. Because they are weather-resistant, they can be used either indoors or outdoors. Some come with either reinforced holes, a hanging bar, velcro and/or other glue adhesive. Banners can be released as advances or regular issues. Their artwork can vary from simplistic to extremely detailed. Although banners take up a lot of display space, they are still considered very collectible to movie art collectors. Banners are printed in limited numbers, which makes them harder to obtain than more common sizes. Still used today. Usually shipped rolled.
