How big is a full-size championship belt?
Strap length is 51 inches (129.54 cm). The center plate is roughly 10 to 12 inches wide and 8 to 10 inches tall. Side plates are about 4 to 6 inches tall and 3 to 5 inches wide. Finished weight is 4 to 18 pounds depending on belt type, plate material and thickness.
Gold, dual or nickel plating?
Gold gives the traditional title look. Nickel gives a silver, modern look. Dual combines both, which helps the center plate stand out against the side plates.
