Use the copy-and-paste prompt below to generate a 33×81 in retractable banner in ChatGPT, Midjourney, Canva or any AI image tool — sized correctly for print at 300 DPI, CMYK, with bleed. Fill in the [brackets], generate, and order it from FlyersATL for same-day or next-day pickup in Atlanta or Peachtree Corners.
Print specs
| Final trim size | 33″ × 81″ |
|---|---|
| Visible area | 33″ × 78″ — the bottom 3″ sits inside the base |
| Bleed | 0.5″ on every side → file size with bleed 34″ × 82″ |
| Pixels at 300 DPI (with bleed) | 10,200 × 24,600 px |
| Large-format note | Anything over 24″ prints beautifully at 150 DPI (5,100 × 12,300 px). Aim for that as your minimum; 300 DPI is ideal but not required. |
| Safe zone | Keep text & logos 2″ inside the trim edge |
| Aspect ratio | 11:27 |
| Color mode | CMYK (convert before sending — RGB neon colors will print duller) |
| Accepted files | PDF (preferred), PNG, JPG or TIFF — flattened, fonts outlined or embedded |

Design a print-ready retractable (roll-up) banner, final trim size 33" × 81", portrait orientation, aspect ratio 11:27. Output at 300 DPI in CMYK color mode. Final artwork with bleed should be 34" × 82" (10,200 × 24,600 pixels). Add 0.5" of bleed on all four sides and keep all text and logos at least 2" inside the trim edge. BUSINESS: [Business name] — [what you do] — [Atlanta, GA / neighborhood] PURPOSE: [event / promotion / announcement] HEADLINE: "[Your main message]" DETAILS: [date, time, location, price, offer — 3–5 short lines] CALL TO ACTION: "[Call now / Scan to order / RSVP at…]" CONTACT: [phone], [website], [social handle] STYLE: [bold & modern / clean & elegant / urban & edgy / playful]. Brand colors: [color 1], [color 2], [accent]. Fonts: [bold sans-serif headline, clean body text]. IMAGERY: [describe the photo or illustration you want, or say "no photos, typographic design only"] RULES: Use large, legible fonts and strong contrast; letters big enough to read from 10+ feet away; no tiny text; no lorem ipsum or placeholder text; no watermarks; spell every word exactly as written above; flat print-safe colors (no neon or glowing RGB effects); clean edges; solid background that extends fully into the bleed area; leave the bottom 4 inches as plain background (it rolls into the base).
Design tips for this size
- The top 12 inches is prime real estate — that’s eye level. Put the logo and headline there.
- The bottom 3–4 inches disappear into the base, so keep everything important above it.
- Layout reads top-to-bottom: logo → headline → 3 short benefits → call to action → contact / QR code.
Tool settings
- ChatGPT / DALL·E: Paste the prompt as-is. Image output is limited to about 1024–1536 px, so pick the portrait option and then upscale (see step 3).
- Midjourney: Add
--ar 11:27to the end of the prompt and use--q 2. Upscale the result you like. - Canva (Magic Design / Magic Media): Create a custom-size design at 34″ × 82″, paste the prompt into Magic Media, then download as PDF Print with CMYK and crop marks & bleed checked.
- Adobe Firefly / Express: Choose the portrait aspect ratio closest to 11:27, generate, then open in Express at 34″ × 82″ @ 300 ppi and export as print PDF.
From AI image to print-ready file
- Generate 3–4 versions and pick the one with the cleanest text. AI still misspells words — read every line.
- Fix the text if needed by dropping the image into Canva or Photoshop and retyping headlines over it.
- Upscale to at least 10,200 × 24,600 px using Canva’s upscaler, Topaz Gigapixel, Upscayl (free) or Photoshop’s Super Resolution.
- Set the document to 34″ × 82″ at 300 DPI, convert to CMYK, and export a flattened PDF.
- Upload & order on the retractable (roll-up) banner page, or send it for a quote. Not sure about your file? Send it anyway — we look at every file before it prints.
