What are Retractable banners?

There are four components to a Retractable banner: the base, the support pole, the top bar, and vinyl. In this section we are going to go over each of these components. Lets start with the base! The base of a banner stand is the hardware component that sits on the floor. There are several different features depending on the type of banner stand you’re looking for. Next would be the support pole. This is the tubular piece of hardware that connects to both the base and top bar of your banner stand, holding your graphic upright and in place. After the support pole would be the top bar. Although this hardware component is often overlooked, the style and quality can often play a large role in the overall quality of your banner stand. The top bar is a part of both retractable and manual banner stand models, and its function is to hold the top of the graphic panel in place. Last but not least would be the vinyl graphics that go inside the banner stand. This is where your message, your brand and your imagery will go.

What Are Some of the Advantages of Using Retractable Banners in Your Business?

Retractable Banners are a perfect blend of durable, economical and lightweight. This combination makes retractable banners very versatile and universal:

  • Durable - Retractable banners can last for years as long as you take care of them. Our best practice would be to always keep them in their travel case. We always recommend that you never date stamp or time stamp your banners, because once you have done that it is not as easily reusable.

  • Economical - Retractable banners are one of the least expensive materials used for indoor signage.

  • Lightweight - For transporting made easier, retractable banners are very lightweight.
