Printdesigns have been producing pull-up banners for over 20 Years, and we have one of the largest selections available in the UK. We supply the most commonly available models from all major hardware manufacturers, and we also have a range of unique systems that are exclusive to us.


What is a banner stand?

Roller banners are a type of portable display consisting of a printed banner which is usually pulled up from the base and attached in place, effectively creating a standing banner. This makes for a quick and effective display commonly used at trade shows, exhibitions, retail displays, business reception areas and more.

Other names for a roller banner stand include a pop-up banner, pull-up banner, standing banner, stand-up banner, and vertical banner.


What are the different types of banner stand?

Retractable

A retractable roller banner has a printed banner rolled inside the base, which is attached to an interior spring mechanism. The banner is then pulled up from the base and attached to a vertical support pole positioned behind it to fix it into place.

Advantages: Quickest & most straightforward option to assemble, easy to transport, the printed graphic is protected from damage as it is encased within the base of the stand when packed away.

Tension 

A tension (or tensioned) promotional banner differs from its retractable counterpart in that it is not attached to the base when it is not in use. The printed banner is a separate component that is unrolled or unfolded (depending on the printed material type) and secured to the top and bottom of the stand. These simple frame systems rely on tension on the printed material to pull the printed banner material flat.


Advantages: Usually cheaper than a comparable retractable stand, graphics are easily replaceable, easy to transport
Disadvantages: It can take longer to assemble than retractable stands

Cardboard

We offer a range of cardboard displays which provide an eco-friendly alternative to stands made from metal and plastic components. Eco banner stands are ideal for temporary point-of-sale advertising and conferences, events or exhibitions as directional signage or as a part of an overall exhibition set-up.

 

Advantages: Eco-friendly, recyclable, light-weight, single-sided, double-sided and triple-sided options available

Disadvantages: Not as durable, some models are only suitable for one-time assembly

 

Is There A Standard Size?

Signage stands come in many widths and heights, ranging from our smallest A4 Desktop Roller Banner to larger models available in widths up to 2400mm. Wider stands can be a backdrop for photo opportunities, presentations or exhibition displays. We also offer the tallest banner stand on the market, the Giant Mosquito stand, which measures up to 3m in height! However, the most common size tends to be 800mm-850mm wide x around 2000mm tall.

 

How Do I Assemble A Banner Stand?

One of the many benefits of pop-up, roll-up and pull banners is their straightforward assembly. A single person can assemble most retractable models in around a minute.

Assembly instructions will depend on your banner type (tensioned, retractable, etc). You can find helpful how-to videos on many of our products on our YouTube channel, including this one for our retractable budget stands.

You can assemble your retractable banner stand using the following step-by-step guide:

1 - Unpack the banner base and place it on the floor. There may also be feet to twist out on some models that provide stability.

2 - Take out the bungee pole from the bag and assemble it to its full length

3 - Insert the bungee pole into the hole in the top of the banner base

4 - Pull up the banner and hook the graphics over the top of the pole to secure it in place

As tension banner stands come in various forms, it is best to refer to the individual product instructions or assembly video for the best advice. If you need any assistance, a team member will be happy to answer any questions you may have.


How Much Does A Banner Stand Cost?

Here at Printdesigns, we offer a vast range of high-quality banners suited to any budget. One of our most popular stands is the Budget Banner Stand which is available for £47.40 (inc. tax). You can also benefit from multi-buy discounts - ideal if you require displays for multiple locations.


Which Type of Stand Do I Need?

The type of stand you need depends entirely on your application. If you’re exhibiting in an open space, purchasing a double-sided banner stand may be a good idea. Perhaps a cardboard monolith display would be more suited for a short-term promotional display. Do you need a larger stand to create a more prominent backdrop for photography? Take a look at our Barracuda roller banner.


Can You Connect Multiple Stands To Create A Bigger Display?

Although most banner stands are used as 'stand alone' displays, connecting two or more together is possible to create a larger display.

Our Uno Linking Banners can be joined using magnetic connectors to produce more extensive display walls that fill larger spaces. You can purchase multiple stands to create the desired size and have the flexibility to use the banners individually for smaller events.


If you’re looking for a larger display, why not consider a pop-up stand instead?


Are Graphics Replaceable?

Changing the graphics on many of our banner stands is possible, but not all. We recommend checking the product description or speaking to a member of our team to be sure.


Do Printdesigns Check Artwork Before Printing?

Yes. A member of the Printdesigns team will check your artwork file and send proof via email for you to approve before printing. If you need assistance supplying your artwork, head to our Artwork Guidelines page.


Can Printdesigns help design my banner?

Yes - our graphic design service is priced at a competitive rate of £40 p/h (exc. VAT) and covers basic design/artwork re-setting to full concept design.


Do You Offer A Warranty?

All of our stands come with a minimum of a 12 Month guarantee, but many models feature extended warranties of up to 10 Years that cover mechanical or component failure. Our printed graphics are produced using high-quality materials that are resistant to fading in exposed, sunny locations.

Choosing The Right Banner Stand

There are many promotional display stands to choose from, and our team is always available to give you obligation-free advice to help you find the best product for your requirements.

Most banner stands (known as roller banners) use a spring-tensioned mechanism inside the base. This stand type is prevalent because it is effortless to set up and pack away.

Although roller banners are convenient for transport and assembly, we also have tensioned stands that use lightweight frames constructed from glass fibre rods and poles. Tensioned stands are the lightest type of promotional banners available, ideal if you are looking for the most portable solution to transport to and from events. Another benefit of a tensioned banner is that the print is not permanently attached to a roller mechanism, so it can be replaced quickly and cost-effectively.

Eco Friendly Banner Stands

Printdesigns are working hard to develop new products to offer our clients more sustainable advertising banners. All the display stands we offer can be supplied with graphics printed onto recyclable materials rather than materials such as PVC.

Our range of bamboo banners uses natural wood for the majority of the frame components rather than plastic and metal. The bamboo is farmed from sustainable sources and is a natural and environmentally friendly product that is easy to recycle.

For point-of-sale promotional campaigns, we have also developed and introduced products entirely made from cardboard materials that can be 100% recycled at the end of life.

Our Best Price Guarantee

The quality of our products, backed by unbeatable customer service, doesn't come at a high price. We believe that our banner stands are the most competitively priced in the UK.

Should you find a comparable product at a lower price from another UK-based manufacturer, simply forward your quotation or a link to the advertised product, and we will aim to beat that quote.
