If you're used to displaying large-format graphics, banner stands are both lightweight and portable and are used for a large variety of purposes. Sizes of banner stands vary depending on their intended use. Generally, when they are assembled, banner stands are slightly larger than the average person. This however can be altered and much larger banner stands are available for those who want a larger visual impact.
The three most common types of banner stands on the market today are the retractable banner stand, the tension based banner stand and the telescopic banner stand.
The retractable retractable banner stands (left), generally one of the most popular, is a stand in which your displayed graphic is stored on a spring loaded cartridge in the unit's base. It simply pulls up and attaches to a pole which is also stored in the base. Retractable banner stands are found in single and double-sided units, depending on personal preference and how the graphics are to be displayed. While most retractable banner stands hold non-interchangeable, permanent graphics, there are some brands with interchangeable setups, allowing you to swap out your graphics by replacing the removable cassette.
Tension-based banner stands (right) and telescopic banner stands are two other forms of banner stands also available on the market. The former refers to a banner stand that keeps the graphics firm between the top and bottom, sometimes using what is called an "x-frame." Telescopic banner stands are adjustable banner stands that can be altered according to the height for which they are desired. They are found in both standard and custom shapes.
Another type of banner stand is the scrolling banner stand (left), in which a high quality graphic is sewn as one continuous loop and connected to a scrolling bar. These offer an eye-catching indoor visual merchandising option with a continual graphic that scrolls vertically; perfect for multiple messages or images. They are offered in both a floor stand and a hanging banner for versatility. Definitely a head turner!
Banner stands can be used for tradeshows, marketing events and even showrooms. An advantage of using a banner stand is that they are extremely easy to assemble (approximately 1 – 5 minutes) and are lightweight, portable and compact. They are best suited to small presentations and provide the customer with a great visual impact. Another added bonus is that Banner Stands are also low cost and can be shipped from almost anywhere because of their compact ability.
Banner stands truly enhance any exhibition and give that extra flair to the product you are introducing to potential customers. The beauty of banner stands is that they can be customized to suit individual needs, such as size, style, color and design, all depending on their given purpose.
With an assortment of banner stand options for you to choose from, the toughest part is narrowing it down to what best suits your needs. Primarily, banner stands vary in price range so this would probably be the most important factor to take into account. To decide on which banner stands are best for you, you will need to ask yourself questions such as; how often will I need to carry my stand around? Do I need to display one or two graphics? Will I need to change my graphics often? All the answers to these questions will determine which banner stand is the perfect fit for you. Banner Stands have been and will continue to be one of the best Trade Show Displays in the industry.
