Tapered Square

Tapered Square Hanging Banners

A standard square hanging banner runs the same width from top to bottom, with four straight vertical panels that form a clean geometric box overhead. A tapered square changes that profile entirely. The four panels angle inward as they rise from the wider base toward a narrower top, creating a shape that reads overhead like a flattened pyramid with four distinct graphic faces. From the show floor, the tapered geometry adds visual depth and movement that a straight-sided square simply does not have.

The tapered square sits at a specific intersection of the overhead hanging banner category. It carries the same four-directional brand visibility of any square banner, with each face pointing toward a primary approach direction on the show floor, while the tapered profile gives the display a more sculptural overhead presence that is harder to overlook in a hall full of straight-sided signs. Exhibitors who want structured four-sided coverage with a shape that stands out from the standard lineup choose the tapered square for exactly this reason.

This product is part of our full range of trade show hanging banners designed for maximum overhead brand visibility across exhibition halls.

The Tapered Square Hanging Banner Lineup

• 10 x 3.5 Ft. Tapered Square Hanging Banner: A 10ft wide tapered square at 3.5ft in height, available in single-sided or double-sided complete graphic packages. This is the entry-level configuration in the tapered square lineup and a strong choice for 10x10 and 10x20 booths where you want a mid-scale overhead display with the angular character of the tapered format. At 10ft wide, the display creates a clear overhead presence from across the show floor while keeping proportions that work well above a standard inline booth.
• 12 x 4 Ft. Tapered Square Hanging Banner: A 12ft wide tapered square at 4ft in height, available in single-sided or double-sided complete graphic packages. The step up to 12ft increases the overhead span of the display and adds an extra 6 inches of height compared to the 3.5ft configurations, which deepens the taper and increases the graphic surface area on each face. This is the right fit for 10x20 booths and larger exhibit footprints where the 10ft width would feel undersized relative to the booth space below.
• 14 x 3.5 Ft. Tapered Square Hanging Banner: A 14ft wide tapered square at 3.5ft in height, available in single-sided or double-sided complete graphic packages. The 14ft width provides a wider overhead span than the 12ft while maintaining the 3.5ft height for a broader, more spread-out tapered profile overhead. This configuration is suited for larger 10x20 and 20x20 booths where the wider footprint benefits from a display that covers more horizontal ground overhead without the additional height of the 12 x 4ft configuration.
• 15 x 3.5 Ft. Tapered Square Hanging Banner: The largest configuration in the collection, at 15ft wide and 3.5ft in height, available in single-sided or double-sided complete graphic packages. At 15ft, the tapered square creates a commanding overhead presence suited for 20x20 booths, large island exhibits, and open event spaces where maximum horizontal coverage overhead is the goal. The wide, low-profile taper at this scale makes a strong visual statement from anywhere in a large exhibition hall and is one of the most expansive overhead hanging banner formats available in a tapered format.

What to Know Before You Buy

• What makes the tapered square different from a standard square: A standard square hanging banner has four flat vertical panels that run at a consistent width from top to bottom, forming a straight-sided box shape. The tapered square uses four panels that are wider at the base and angle inward as they rise toward the top, so the overall shape narrows overhead and creates a pyramid-like silhouette when viewed from the side. Viewed from below on the show floor, the tapered geometry gives each face a more dynamic, angled presence that reads as more architectural and visually distinctive than a straight-sided panel at the same size.
• Single-sided vs. double-sided: Single-sided printing applies your graphic to the outside surface of each of the four tapered panels, which is the correct choice for most trade show overhead applications where attendees view the display from the outside as it hangs above the booth. Double-sided printing covers both the outside and the inside surface of each panel, which is useful when the display is rigged at a lower elevation where attendees can look upward into the interior of the taper and see the inner fabric surface. If you are unsure which is right for your rigging setup, our team can help you choose the right option before you order.
• Choosing between 3.5ft and 4ft heights: The height of the tapered square refers to the depth of each panel from the wider base to the narrower top edge of the frame. The 4ft height, available on the 12ft width, creates a slightly deeper taper with more graphic surface area per face and a more pronounced angular profile overhead. The 3.5ft height, used on the 10ft, 14ft, and 15ft widths, produces a broader, lower-profile overhead shape. The right height depends on your booth footprint and how dramatic you want the taper to appear from the show floor.
• Venue rigging requirements: Tapered square hanging banners are ceiling-suspended displays and require rigging from the venue structure. Most convention centers require rigging to be performed by the venue's official rigging contractor at a cost that is separate from the display purchase. Confirm rigging availability, weight limits, height restrictions, and pricing with your show organizer before placing your order. Our team can advise on what to ask your venue if you are going through the rigging process for the first time.
• Graphic setup: The tapered square graphic is set up as four separate panels, one per face of the frame. Unlike a standard square where each panel is a flat rectangle, the tapered panels are wider at the base and narrower at the top, so your artwork needs to be prepared using the correct template for your chosen size and height configuration to ensure elements in your design read correctly on the finished tapered surface. Submit all artwork in CMYK at 150 DPI or higher at final print size. Our team reviews every file before production begins and will flag any panel proportion or layout issues specific to the tapered format before printing starts.
