Sari-Sari Store Banner Designs & Templates

In the Philippines, the sari-sari store is the heart of the community. But with one on almost every corner, how do you make yours stand out? The secret lies in your signage.

A well-designed sari-sari store banner (or tarpaulin) does more than just display your store’s name; it builds trust, announces your services (like GCash or E-Load), and attracts customers from a distance.

In this post, we’ve gathered the best resources, design tips, and templates to help you create a banner that pops!

What Makes an Effective Sari-Sari Store Banner?

Based on trending designs from platforms, a successful banner should include these five elements:

  1. A Bold Store Name: Use a thick, readable font. Script fonts might look “fancy,” but bold sans-serif fonts are easier to read from a moving tricycle!
  2. Vibrant Colors: Red, yellow, and blue are popular because they signify energy and are highly visible under the sun.
  3. Product Icons: Don’t just say you sell “groceries.” Use icons for bread, eggs, canned goods, and cold drinks.
  4. Value-Added Services: Explicitly mention if you offer GCash Cash-In/OutMaya, or E-Load. These are huge foot-traffic drivers.
  5. High-Quality Images: Use high-resolution photos of snacks and household items to make the store look “well-stocked” even on paper.

Technical Specifications for Printing

When you take your design to a printing shop, here are the standard sizes used for sari-sari store tarpaulins:

  • Small/Door Side: 2ft (width) x 3ft (height)
  • Standard Store Front: 3ft (width) x 2ft (height)
  • Large Header: 5ft (width) x 3ft (height)

Pro-Tip: Always save your file in CMYK color mode and at least 300 DPI to ensure the colors don’t look “washed out” once printed on tarpaulin material.
