Calculating the Size of your Pull Up Retractable Banner Stand
Height x Width = Number of Square Feet. For example, if you have a banner that is 5ft. x 5ft.- 5 x 5 = 25 square feet
Roll-up, Pull-up, or Retractable banners can also be used to promote sales in retail environments, or along aisle at trade shows, beckoning potential clients to enter the booth to get more information on your company. The ink used is fade-resistant and maintains a bright, impressive appearance when displayed outside. The banners can be one-sided or two-sided.
Retractable Banner Substrates
Vinyl Banner
It is made using a loosely woven nylon fabric, which is encased in hot PVC vinyl. Once it cools, it is trimmed and rolled onto larger rolls. The material is usually a lighter weight material so that it will stay compact when rolled up inside the cartridge. It is almost always printed digitally now, whereas it used to be screen printed.
There are several weights available, the most common being (at least in our shop) 10 oz., 13 oz., 15 oz., and 18 oz. The ounces refers to the weight of the banner per square yard of material. The heavier the weight, the more durable.
They are great because they don’t cost much money to produce. They can be easily customized using advanced print technology and durable, custom or Pantone® colors, which are patented to be consistent and true from printer to printer. They are also easy to transport because they are lightweight and flexible.
Vinyl banners can be truly long-lasting. They are sturdy, shiny and embossed to give a look of authority and brilliance. A matte-look is also available if too much shine is not what you are after. The color quality of digitally printed or screen-printed graphics is tough to beat.
Polyester Fabric Banner
The best quality in our view would be polyester fabrics printed using the dye sublimation printing method. Polyester is a polymer-based woven fabric. Improvements have been made to the materials so that now you can get anything from smooth poly knits to poly silks, poly flags, and sheer fabrics for almost any event, indoor or out.
The cells of the polyester fabric (which is the most common fabric used for this process and comes in many different styles from sheer to stretchable to satin to heavy two-sided knit material) expand and open, allowing the dye, which is in a gaseous state, to become trapped inside the cells as they cool down having passed through the rollers.
Dye sublimation is a print method that uses dye instead of ink, which, during the post printing process is put through heated pressurized rollers and is converted to a gaseous state.
This print method produces continuous tone printing, similar to a photographic print as opposed to the dot pattern printing of a digital printing process which is used on the other types of banners used in retractable banner stands.
The image is a part of the fabric, so it doesn’t peel off like ink on the surface of fabric or other materials and will not fade for many years. The colors can be brilliant due to the continuous tones that make the printing appear photographic. These images also can be printed all the way to the edges of the fabric.
Dye sub printing permanently infuses the poly fabric with color during the print process so that you can send these banners through the washer without color loss, and a rain storm would be more gentle than your average washing machine, we’d think.
If you are at a competitive trade show, or similar, and your competitors have some nice graphics on vinyl or the like, and you show up with your continuous tone printed fabric display, you are going to win the subliminal war. You will be separating yourself from the competition who may be using cheaper graphics, thus making themselves look cheap. No one wants a cheap company – just a cheap price with great services or products.
Banner Stand Material
Depending on the banner stand, the exterior shell is usually aluminum or plastic (cheaper models will be plastic), the end caps are most often plastic, but some are aluminum, and the internal hardware is usually steel with plastic parts as well.
Narrow vs. Wide Base
It simply stands to reason that a 72 or 84 inch tall banner that is, say, 36 inches wide, is going to stand up better if the base is broader.It is always a good idea, when shopping for a retractable banner stand, to take into account the size of the base, especially if there is going to be any air movement, such as an outdoor tradeshow or other venue.
Banner Care
Vinyl Banners
We always advise our clients to never fold their vinyl banners, because they will wrinkle, and the wrinkles may or may not be removable. Always roll your banners, and preferably on a hard cardboard or plastic tube core so that it won’t be crushed or folded.
Just roll it up or take it down, compressed into a very small package which is very easy to transport. Anyone can easily do the set up and take down when the event is over. All he or she need to do is place the rolled or folded banner into a shoulder bag and be on her way.
In a well-made banner, the grommets that will be used to hang it should be added to the hems. The side hems are doubled in thickness and can better hold a grommet than a single layer of vinyl.
Fabric Banners
If you can’t fit the banner or banners in your washer, then you’ll need to manually wash them, whether when you’re hanging them or washing them in a large tub or barrel. No matter which route you take, make sure your detergent is tough against grease.
After washing, the best practice is to hang them up to dry. If you don’t have this option, and they’ll fit in a dryer, go ahead and dry them that way. Make sure you don’t leave them in the dryer once it stops, as it’ll create wrinkly banners.
Once dried, you can also use an iron on low heat to iron out any wrinkles that may have occurred in the drying process. Now you have a bright and clean banner to hang up at your next show!
