Retractable Banners

What is a Retractable Banner? Is it the same as a Roll-Up Banner?

Retractable banners are stand up displays that hold a special type of banner. These banners are called retractable banners and roll-up banners because they are able to retract their banner and roll it up into the base. This feature makes them ideal for transporting and storing. Some people call these banners Pop-Up or Stand-Up banners because of how they stand up in its base.

What are Retractable Banners Used for and What Sizes Do They Come in?

The most common retractable banners typically stand just taller than most people at six and a half feet to seven and a half feet. These are regularly found in retail stores and brought to trade shows or other events where easily transported displays are needed. Some people choose to have one image spread across multiple retractables for an even larger presence. You’ll find retractable banners helping promote businesses, products, and even used as directional signage at special events.

Retractable banners can also come in smaller sizes that stand one to three feet tall that are able to be used on counter-tops at point of purchase sales or as accompanying in store displays on shelving. These professional (and cute) displays are a simple way to get your message across to your audience.

How Should I Design my Retractable Banner?

One of the benefits of these displays are how versatile they are. Your retractable will be unique to you, and you’re able to design it to assist your needs. Our designers would be glad to help give suggestions to your designs, and we always will let you know if your art will print at a good resolution.

How to Choose the Right Fonts for Retractable Banner Stands

The most important thing about fonts is font size. Be aware of how far away someone will be from your stand, and choose font size based on the most common situations. Usually we see retractables printed with company logos, their tag lines, and one central focus of the retractable. We don’t want to limit your creativity, but with any large signs, it won’t be common for many people to see small fonts.

What Should I Consider When Choosing My Retractable Banner’s Size?

The biggest determination for choosing a banner’s size (and therefore type of retractable) is where will it be displayed and for what purpose? Retractable banners will have specific uses in mind, and the perfect display relies on a lot of factors. Our most popular retractable is our Economy Retractable, and this will typically get used in stores or at trade shows.

Can I Change Out the Graphics on my Retractable Banner?

We offer one model, the Adjustable Retractable, that allows for graphic changes. Typically, a retractable banner will be attached to its display for the life of the banner. We’ve tested several types of retractable banners and only offer those that are high quality at their price point and that are easy to use. For those on a budget, it’s always smart to consider the price of replacement graphics as compared to new retractable banners when making your purchase.
