We get asked this quite a lot but the truth is there isn’t a set size for billboards, as there are lots of options to consider. Essentially the term "billboard" can cover anything from small A3 posters to giant 96 motorway adverts.
We have put together a helpful billboard sizes table further down this page which outlines the various sizes available for you to consider. Sometimes however more bespoke sites and options are available - so the below are not set in stone but merely a guide to the most typical and popular outdoor poster sites in the UK.
The most popular is the 48 sheet, this is typically the large poster sites seen at key roadside locations, at roundabouts and at train stations.
In the UK the most popular billboard sizes for advertising are generally 6 sheets, 48 sheet and 96 sheets sizes; however, there are a number of other sizes available, including 4 sheet posters, 12 sheets, 32 sheets and 64 sheets for you to consider.
With so many sizes to choose from it can be difficult and daunting to decide which is the best for your marketing campaign, however, our expert team can offer specialist advice and information based on what you are looking to achieve.
In most instances, what you are looking to promote and your message (e.g. your product, service or company) will help to determine which are the most effective billboard sizes for your campaign, whilst naturally, your marketing budget will also inform it as well.
Typically, the larger the billboard sizes, generally the more expensive they are, but there are other variables that may affect this which we can discuss.

At Billboard Advertising UK there are lots of various sizes for you to consider for your marketing as mentioned above.
The most popular billboard sizes available are as below, and these are available in most major towns and cities across the UK:
48-Sheet Billboards: These are the standard large billboards in the UK, measuring approximately 20 feet high and 40 feet wide (6.1m x 12.2m). They are typically found in high-traffic areas such as motorways and major roads.
96-Sheet Billboards: These are double the size of 48-sheet billboards, around 40 feet high and 40 feet wide (12.2m x 12.2m). These massive billboards are used for high-impact advertising in very busy areas.
6-Sheet Billboards: These smaller billboards measure about 4 feet high by 6 feet wide (1.2m x 1.8m) and are commonly seen at bus stops, shopping centres, and in high street locations.
4-Sheet Billboards: Even smaller, these measure approximately 2 feet high by 3 feet wide (0.6m x 0.9m). They are often used for local advertising and can be found in community areas and near local retailers.
Digital Billboards: The size of digital billboards can vary, but they are often similar in size to the 48-sheet or 6-sheet billboards. These billboards display digital adverts that can change every few seconds.
Ad Vans and Mobile Billboards: These are mobile advertising units where the billboard is attached to a van or a truck. The sizes can vary, but they are often close to the size of a 48-sheet billboard.
Specialist and Bespoke Billboards: These include unique sizes and shapes, tailored to specific locations or advertising campaigns. They can range from small, niche displays to large-scale, high-impact installations.
These sizes are typical for the UK market and are designed to cater to a range of advertising needs, from local community messages to large-scale national campaigns. Keep in mind that local regulations and planning permissions may affect the placement and size of billboards in certain areas.
As well as designing and booking billboards we can also arrange the printing of various posters and we have a team of independent printers who we work with.
Often when booking larger sites – such as a 48 sheet billboard and 96 sheet billboards - you will find that production (printing) is included within this. For smaller campaigns – 4 and 6 sheets – you sometimes have to print your own posters and supply these to the media owner to be put up. This is something we will always check for you.
PromoMEDIA offers good printing rates if this is something you would need help with, simply follow this link and drop them a message.
