Although small in stature by their nature, there is still a selection of different desktop banner stand styles to choose from including roller, angle, folding and pop up variations. Each stand is approximately the height of an A3 or A4 sheet of paper and all are portable, easily transported and lightweight.

Brand quality marketing is based on the constant reinforcement of a product and service, making re-useable desktop banner stands a simple and subtle way of establishing a strong company presence. This style of desktop display can function alongside floor standing banner stands and other exhibition material but work just as well as at smaller events without the need of additional signage support.

The Angel Desktop Banner Stand is available in both A3 and A4 sizes. As it is incredibly lightweight, it has the added benefit that it can even be posted for distribution. A multi purpose desktop banner, the Angel design is the most versatile and cost effective of all the available stands and boasts a re-usable frame that can be re-used with different printed displays.  

The Beijing Desktop X Banner Stand is a very different structure with a unique, folding X-style frame. Slighter smaller in structure than the other designs, the Beijing model is extremely lightweight and easy to assemble. Lending itself to quick set-ups and perfect for transportation, this efficient, easy-to-use desktop banner stand is ideal for sales promotions and small scale marketing events.

Available in anodised silver for a modern professional look, the Breeze Desktop or Tabletop Roller Banner stand is of A3 size, manufactured on tear-resistant polyester material for extra durability. Similar to the larger roller banner stands, the retractable design is encased in the unit itself until needed which ultimately protects the design against dust or damage. It is a great choice for a professional table-top display.

Last but not least is the Senator Desktop Banner Stand. Slighter larger than its counterparts, the Senator Desktop Banner stand portrays gives an imposing presence without requiring as much space as a traditional banner stand.

The printer uses special HP Latex ink, which requires no special ventilation or hazard warning labels. The prints created by these inks are odourless, and can be printed onto fabrics such as vinyl, fabrics, paper, film and other low-cost uncoated options. Double-sided prints with minimum intervention are now possible with the installation of this printer, massively decreasing the time it will take for orders to be printed and ready to distribute. This will affect the creation of such products as the Quickroll Roller Banner Stand, the most popular banner stand on sale at Printdesigns. The base is compact, yet stable, and the wide footprint makes for an ideal indoor display. The print, of photographic quality, comes on durable blockout material (520gsm) which will now be printed using the fantastic new Latex printer.

Also affected by the installation of the new printer will be the Desktop Roller Banner Stands. These miniature stands are great for enforcing a brand and are generally mass-ordered by clients. The arrival of the HP Latex printer now means that many more of these A4 stands can be created in a shorter space of time. The tear-resistant material the designs are printed onto make the stands perfect for market distribution and the more there are to hand, the more effective the marketing will be.

The Latex printer is also environmentally-conscious; the inks used are eco-solvent, non-flammable and water-based so as not to emit harmful chemicals. Supplies can be returned to HP and recycled, ensuring greater ink efficiency; HP itself is an industry leader and environmental certifications and awards. This is great news for businesses that like to keep an eye on their carbon footprint, and may interest prospective buyers of the eco-friendly Bamboo Banner Stands on offer at Printdesigns. The sturdy and attractive stands are constructed from one of the fastest growing plants in the world, and give a natural, attractive appearance for an authentic, environmentally-friendly look and feel which boosts ‘green’ credentials.

Desktop Banner Stands

Professional display material is critical in order to communicate the right message and professional image to your customers at an event or show.

All too frequently, I visit conferences and exhibitions and see companies who have gone to great lengths in order to create a professional looking backdrop display for their stand and then spoiled it by writing a scruffy looking A4 sign and sticking it on a table!

If you need to create some free standing signage perhaps to provide technical information about a product or to provide pricing or a special ‘exhibition offer’ then you can consider one of our range of desktop banner stands.

Desktop banner stands are a great way of displaying small format printed material at A4 or A3 size and are lightweight, free standing and above all professional! We have just expanded our range of desktop display stands to include 4 different models.

Our best selling unit is the Breeze desktop banner stand which is a mini version of a traditional floor standing banner stand. The print simply winds down into the base under tension when you are not using it! We also have three different tensioned banner stands that are available in sizes from A4 through to a larger 380mm x 680mm desktop banner stand as is the case with the new Senator banner stand model.

As well as for use at exhibitions and shows, desktop banner stands can be used for point of sale displays in retail locations and shops.

For information on our new range of desktop banner stands, please visit our website at www.printdesigns.com and search under the category banner stands / desktop banner stands.

Website Statement

There are lots of suppliers of banner stands on the web today some of whom are expensive and some of whom are more competitively priced.

Lots of suppliers sell very similar products but the prices from supplier to supplier can vary dramatically.

We found the above supplier who professed not to sell low-cost, economy banner stands because they are ‘not fit for purpose’ so we were very surprised when the very same company popped up this morning with a different website address and offering a banner stand for £39.99 (just like the ones they professed not to sell because they are not fit for purpose!)

The companies website popupbannerstands (.co.uk) and the old website rollerbannerstands (.com) seem to be rather in conflict with one another.

I feel sorry for the customer who goes to the website where the above ‘beware’ statement is published and pays almost twice the price for a similar product that the very same supplier sells on another website. I have to agree that it is clever marketing however

If you are looking for a supplier of banner stands who just offers consistently good value on products then Printdesigns can help. We have been producing high quality display stands since 1999 and are a family owned business who pride ourselves on high levels of customer service. We only have one website and our prices have been and always will be the best around!

Spring Fair Exhibition Stands

The Spring Fair is one of the largest exhibitions held at the NEC throughout the year. In 2012, the Sprint Fair will be open from 5th Feb to the 9th Feb and will see a whole host of companies selling all manner of home accessories and contemporary gifts to the public.

Printdesigns have already been working on exhibition displays for several exhibitors who are exhibiting at the Spring Fair and who want to make their stands look as eye-catching and professional as possible.

If you are exhibiting at the Spring Fair and need some top quality display graphics at great value prices then why not call Printdesigns and discuss your requirements. We can produce almost any type of graphics for your shell scheme including display posters, display boards, exhibition banner stands, pop up stands are more!

If you are exhibiting at the Spring Fair, you can save a great deal of money by using an external company to produce your exhibition boards and panels rather than using your allocated stand contractor whose prices will likely be inflated!

If you are interested in attending the Spring Fair then you can order tickets at http://www.springfair.com and also find our more about the businesses who are exhibiting at the show.

angel banner stands

Printdesigns have created a brand new design for a cost effective desktop display stand. Available at A4 or A3 size, we have named the product the Angel Banner Stand.

The product is formed from one single piece of expanded PVC which makes it incredibly lightweight (less than 80 grams) for the A4 version of the stand and therefore ideally suited for mass marketing campaigns where the units can be despatched flat-packed in hard-backed envelopes cost-effectively.

The Angel banner stand uses tension on the printed panel in order that it sits as flat as possible over the framework. The stand will accept a variety of substrates including PVC, tear resistant paper, polyester and also fabrics for a unique, modern appearance.

The Angel desktop banner stand is a welcome alternative to traditional desktop roller banners which contain moving parts and can become damaged easily. The stand is also a good alternative when compared to acrylic type poster holders that are very fragile.

For the traveling exhibitor or sales representative, our new desktop banner can be dropped into a document wallet or briefcase and assembled in seconds.

For larger orders, the stand can be produced in a variety of colours and bespoke sizes.

The design of the Angel banner stand is unique and the design is patent pending.

New Range of Rigid Banner Stands

We have expanded our range of banner stands to include a new family of rigid banner stand models. There are three new products in the rigid banner stand range which include the Wedge Banner Stand, Fantasy Banner Stand and Rok Banner Stand.

The Wedge and Fantasy models are designed for indoor use and can support materials from 10mm upwards. The prints for the stands can be output onto a choice of materials including foamex, corrugated sheets and MDF.

Being a rigid panel, the panel looks more structural than a rollable panel would do, thus making this type of display ideally suited for use in retail stores, airports, cafes, and shops.

It is possible for us to really make your rigid banner stand unique by contour cutting the sheet to almost any size and shape you like!

The Rok banner stand features a plastic base that can be weighted using either water or sand for additional ballast. This makes the unit the ideal alternative when compared to a traditional A Board pavement sign!

For further information on any of our three rigid banner stand models, please visit our website from the links above or call and speak to one of our team who are always happy to help.

At the end of this year, we have been looking at developing some new, interesting  products which make use of our Zund cutting facilities. The stands in question are made from engineered cardboard and are folded and creased in such a way that the stand can be self-assembled on site.

Cardboard POS stands are big business and sold by companies like DS Smith Kaysersberg (see images below). The great thing about these types of display is that they are lightweight and can be recycled more easily than other types of display that are made from metal and plastic.

Our range of folding cardboard POS stands will launch in 2012 and we hope that some of the displays like our totem pop up display will prove to be viable alternatives to traditional banner stands for many of our customers.

By printing our displays digitally, we will be offering our folding POS displays for purchase as single units which means that for smaller businesses, they will be affordable. Until now, many suppliers involved in the industry are not geared towards producing one off products or small runs and so displays like these have not been accessible for the typical exhibitor who only needs to purchase a limited number of units.

With budgets cut and  the economy in turmoil, the temptation to purchase products at ‘too good to be true’ prices is strong but there are many considerations that should be taken into account when deciding upon a supplier for exhibition and display material including the track record of the company.

Printdesigns have been established since 1999 and offer great value on a range of portable exhibition stands. We can also offer large format printing onto a range of materials.

Our canvas printing service is not the cheapest in the market but we guarantee a quality product with a fast turnaround and the ability to speak to helpful staff should you need to.

For any companies wishing to find a reliable supplier for large format printing, exhibition stands, canvas prints or banners we would encourage you to contact us on 01785 224055 and discuss your requirements with one of our team who can offer friendly, helpful advice.

We would like to express our sadness to all those that are left out of pocket after Balmer Media went into liquidation.

Printdesigns Limited will be one of the first exhibition and display companies to install the new equipment. The new machine will allow us to print onto materials like self adhesive vinyl, banner, fabric and PVC’s at qualities beyond those we have been previously able to achieve.

The HP range of latex printers use a specially developed ink that contains no harmful comments and instead use a cutting edge polymer technology. The ink is very durable and suitable for outdoor use for a minimum of 5 years without any fading. As the inks are elastic, the prints can be stretched thus making them ideal for applications such as vehicle wrapping.

The new machine is an exciting addition to our existing range of printing equipment that includes ink jet, UV and dye sublimation technologies. We hope to put the new latex printer to immediate use by rolling out a new range of soft signage exhibition material which will be lightweight, easy to assemble and convenient to transport. In addition, customers purchasing pre-existing products like banner stands will be able to elect to have graphics printed using the new HP latex ink onto a choice of environmentally friendly materials thus strengthening Printdesigns resolve towards environmentally friendly display solutions.
