Retractable Banners

What are Retractable Banners?

Retractable banners provide maximum portability by pulling out of and retracting into a sturdy aluminum stand or base. This feature makes them the ultimate signage solution for trade shows, events, and conferences.

Also known as pull-up banners, these signages can be printed on 13 oz. smooth vinyl or UV fabric. Choose from our premium and deluxe options. These include an adjustable pole, which allows you to set the display height with ease — or go for our standard banner with a fixed-height pole.

Each banner comes with a padded carrying case that makes storage and travel a breeze. Optional LED display lights are also available to complete your display.

With professional-quality printing, durability, portability, and ease of use, our retractable banners are sure to make a lasting impression and turn your next trade show or event into your best one yet. These banners are designed to withstand years of use and can last for many events and years to come.


Fast and Easy Set Up: How to Install Your Retractable Banner

It only takes a minute or two to set up your retractable banner. The only assembly needed is removing everything from the carrying case, locking the pole, pulling the banner out of the aluminum base, and then attaching it to the support pole. If you purchase a display light, you can attach it to the top of the stand/banner and you’ll have a professional pop-up banner in just a few minutes. Reverse the process, and you’re walking out of the show with your banner in its carrying case.


STEP1 STEP2 STEP3 STEP4 STEP5

  • Step 1: Begin the setup by removing the banner’s base and poles from the carrying case.

  • Step 2: Assemble the pole(s) by connecting the two ends, sliding the sleeve of the top piece over the narrower end of the bottom piece like you would a tent pole.

  • Step 3: Insert the bottom of the pole(s) into the base’s hole(s). Ensure that the bottom of the pole(s) firmly touches the bottom of the base’s hole(s).

  • Step 4: Carefully pull out the banner from the retractable base and attach the rung of the banner to the top of the pole(s).

  • Step 5: Extend the adjustable top half of the pole(s) to the required height for your banner. Twist the pole clockwise to lock the height into place. If you are setting up the deluxe retractable banner, you will have to carefully pull out the back side of the banner and attach the top rung to the mounting clips at the top of the pole.

Aluminum Bases for Retractable Banners

Standard Aluminum Base
Standard Aluminum Base

Our standard retractable banners are an affordable way to put up a great-looking banner. The base is made of aluminum and it has stabilizing feet that swing perpendicular to the base and support the banner once installed. These feet can swing parallel to the base for compact and easy traveling.

Premium Aluminum Base
Premium Aluminum Base

Our premium pull-up banners have a base that adds a professional touch to your display. The premium base stabilizes without any supporting feet like our standard base. It also has chrome end caps to make your banner stand look sophisticated.

Deluxe Aluminum Base
Deluxe Aluminum Base

Our deluxe pop-up banners are the best way to show off your company’s brand and offering. Like our premium base, the deluxe base features sleek chrome end caps and stabilizes without rotating feet. Additionally, it’s the only banner to feature double-sided printing.


Looking for Double-sided Retractable Banners?

Double Sided Retractable Banners

Our deluxe retractable banners are double-sided, making them suitable for trade shows, hallways, receptions, and other areas where you need bidirectional visibility.


These banners use the same support pole as our single-sided banners. A rail is attached to the top edge of each banner, which rests on the hook at the top of the pole system. With our deluxe option, you can print the same design on both sides or a different design on each side.


Choose Between Vinyl and Fabric Material

Print your standard, premium, or deluxe retractable banner in either premium-quality vinyl or fabric material.

Vinyl
Vinyl

Made from 13 oz. smooth vinyl, is printed with durable UV ink, and has a glossy finish. This material can be easily cleaned with a damp, non-abrasive cloth.

Fabric
Fabric

Our UV fabric is printed on using dye-sublimation process. This material has a matte finish and can be spot-cleaned or machine-washed once removed from the stand. See our FAQs below for more details.


Accessories for Retractable Banners

Each retractable banner includes a convenient carrying case for storage and travel.

Standard Carrying Case
Standard Carrying Case

Our standard pull-up banners come with a compatible padded carrying case, perfect for protecting your banner during traveling or storage. This case is only available for standard banners and isn't compatible with premium or deluxe options. Each case is tailored to a specific banner size, thus banners of other sizes will not fit. Note that the optional LED light does not fit in this case.

Premium Carrying Case

Our premium retractable banners include a padded carrying case that is more durable and rigid than the standard or deluxe cases. This case is only compatible with our premium retractable banners, each with its own fitted case. The optional LED light(s) will fit in this case.

LED Light
LED Light(s)

You can add LED lights to your order when ordering your retractable banners. These lights easily attach to the top of your banner, giving your graphic better visibility.


*48" x 92" premium, 60" x 92" premium, and 33" x 81" deluxe retractable banners offer two (2) LED lights only.


Caring for Your Retractable Banners

Caring for Your Retractable Banners

Assuming the setup and removal are done correctly, your retractable banner requires little to no care and maintenance. Retracting the banner into the aluminum base will protect the material (fabric or vinyl) from potential damage between uses. Furthermore, storing your stand, pole, and light within the padded case should prevent damage between uses. Stains can either be wiped away with a damp cloth (vinyl and fabric) or laundered under extreme circumstances (fabric only), as explained in more detail in our FAQ section.

When displaying and taking down your retractable banner, do so with care. Slowly pull out and retract the graphic in and out of the base while maintaining the graphic centered on the base. Don’t let the graphic rapidly retract or snap back into the base, whether centered or uncentered. Doing so may cause permanent damage to your graphic and/or base. Carefully install the pole to the base and top of the graphic. Mishandling the pole or using of it beyond its intended purpose may cause permanent damage, and may render the banner unusable.

Q:
Are retractable banners easy to move around?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Yes. Retractable banners are lightweight and portable, so they are easy for one person to move and reposition, as well as setup and takedown. We also provide a carrying case (the cases for standard, premium, and deluxe, banners differ and are explained in full detail in the previous question) with either a shoulder strap or handles that makes traveling with your banner to and from trade shows and other events as easy as carrying a lightweight duffle bag.
Q:
What materials can my graphic be printed on? What are the differences and advantages of these materials?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

You can print your graphic on vinyl or fabric. Vinyl is the more affordable option of the two and has more of a matte finish, while fabric banners are more vibrant due to the coating applied to the fabric before printing. Vinyl is also a durable outdoor option since the material is water and fade resistant, but it can also be used indoors. Our fabric material is a great indoor option, and it's also scratch resistant and has curl-free edges. Despite vinyl typically being used outdoors, if your end use is extended or permanent outdoor use we recommend our standard vinyl banners instead of a retractable banner with the vinyl option.

Q:
Can your retractable banners be double sided?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Yes! Our deluxe retractable banners are double sided so you can get your graphic on either side. You have the option to have one design on both sides of your banner stand or have separate designs, one on each side of the stand. Our standard and premium retractable banners cannot be double sided. For those two options we only print on one side of the banner.
Q:
How is my graphic attached to the retractable banner?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
After being digitally printed, the banner (vinyl and fabric) is then attached to the retractable portion of the banner stand which is found inside of the aluminum base that sits on the floor. You then pull your banner up and out of the base unit before locking it into position with the adjustable pole.
Q:
Can I swap banners on the same stand?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Yes, whether you are using a vinyl or fabric banner you are able to switch out your banner. We strongly recommend having a professional exchange your graphics though because your retractable banner is spring-loaded and attempting to do this yourself without knowing how could cause damage to the base and possibly injury as well.
Q:
Is there anything over the top of the graphic to protect it?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Nothing is printed over the top of your graphic. It is printed directly onto the vinyl or fabric material respectively.
Q:
How big is the banner area? Can this be changed?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

It is important to understand the difference between the listed size of standard, premium, and deluxe banners and their viewable areas. The viewable area is slightly smaller in height due to some of your banner remaining in your base and the metal bar at the top of the display.

Thus, the viewable banner area on a 24" x 81" standard retractable banner is 24" x 77". The viewable banner area on a 33" x 81" standard retractable banner is 33" x 77".

The viewable banner area on a 24" x 92" premium retractable banner is 24" x 88". The viewable banner area on a 36" x 92" premium retractable banner is 36" x 88". The viewable banner area on a 48" x 92" premium retractable banner is 48" x 88". The viewable banner area on a 60" x 92" premium retractable banner is 60" x 88".

The viewable area on both sides of the 33"x81" deluxe retractable banner is 33" x 77".

As can be seen for all of the banners the viewable area is 4" less than what the height indicates. The additional 4" of height is bleed that we will add to your design.

This bleed area is noted on the design tool when "Retractable Banner" is selected by a dotted blue line at the top and a dotted blue line and the message "NON-VISIBLE AREA" at the bottom. As noted above, this is due to the fact that the four inches of non-viewable area is made up of one inch for the top bar and 3 inches of material that will stay within the aluminum base at the bottom of your design. Simply make sure to keep your design within these two dotted lines and you will have no problems with your end design.

Alternatively, the width (24", 33", 36", 48", 60", and 33") on all of these areas is unchangeable. If, however, you would like to decrease the height on any of the premium sizes (36", 48", and 60") or deluxe (33") banners, you can simply leave the lower portion of your graphic blank. Then, when you pull your banner out of the base, you simply pull it up to where your graphic ends. Both premium and deluxe retractable banners can be adjusted to be as short as 70" in height as the support pole is telescopic in nature. Alternatively, the standard banners have a fixed height of 81" and the supporting pole isn't able to be adjusted to a different height. The 60" premium retractable banner comes with 2 poles for additional support due to the width of the banner.

Q:
Do you offer different sizes for your retractable banners?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Yes, we offer a number of different sizes for your retractable banners. These sizes vary depending on whether the banner is a Standard, Premium, or Deluxe model. These sizes are listed below.

Standard: 24" wide x 81" high and 33" wide x 81" high

Premium: 24" wide x 92" high, 36" wide x 92" high, 48" wide x 92" high, and 60" wide x 92"

Deluxe: 33" wide x 81" high

The height of your design can technically be decreased to 70" on the premium and deluxe retractable banners. Standard banners are a set height that cannot be decreased. The widths for all banners are unchangeable.

Q:
Can my design be smaller than the actual banner area?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Yes, technically you can make your graphics smaller than the area provided in the banner (see the question about banner areas two questions above). Simply leave the lower portion of your design blank or a solid color.
Q:
Do you print your retractable banners in one color or full color?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

We currently print our banners in full color, meaning you are able to have the graphics on your banner printed in several different colors or just one if that's all you need.
