A Guide to Selecting the Right Display for Your Message

As you know, marketing is all about finding your message and presenting it in the right way. However, it's sometimes hard to know which display is best for your presentation. So, we've gathered up some of our favorite types of banner stands to help you select the best display to share your message with the world!

Tension Banners

Tension banners are our most popular display product because they are usually the most economical option. If you're on a limited budget, tension banners will offer you the most value for the price.

The word tension refers to the way the banner is displayed by stretching the material using clamps at each end of the graphic. We always recommend the L-shaped tension banners. The L refers to the shape of the hardware behind the banner. These have a smaller footprint, but are sturdy and durable.

This kind of display allows for easy and inexpensive replacement of graphics as often as you need. It's also highly portable and lightweight for traveling sale professionals who need a quick and durable option for trade shows and conventions. Tension banners are available in a variety of sizes, including table top sizes. Our tension banners include a carrying case for simple storage and transportation.

Pros:

• Most Affordable
• Small Footprint
• Easy Graphic Changes
• Portable
• Lightweight

Cons:

• Indoor Use Only

Retractable Banners

Retractable banners are very similar to tension banners, but they have a heavier and sturdier base and the display height is adjustable. They have the smallest footprint of all and are ideal for displays that will be pushed up against a wall or placed in a smaller display area.

Available in almost any size, including table top sizes, retractable banners are a popular choice for our customers who want an adjustable and flexible product that will endure multiple uses.

Although a retractable banner can be a bit more of an investment, they are unbelievably strong and perfect for long-term use. Graphics are inexpensive to switch out, too! A carrying bag is include with our retractable banners for easy transportation and storage.

Pros:

• Best Quality
• Smallest Footprint
• Extremely Durable
• Portable
• Inexpensive Graphic Changes

Cons:

• Heavier Than Tension Banners
• Indoor Use Only

Fabric Banners

For a more luxurious and professional look, consider fabric banners to promote your event or business. We use a dye-sublimation process which combines intense heat and pressure to bind the ink to the fabric. This creates a high resolution permanent image that looks brilliant on fabric banners. Our fabric banner material is made of a sturdy polyester nylon blend.

Fabric allows banners to have a unique shape if you want to stand out among the crowd. The lightweight aluminum frame keeps the display lightweight and portable. Set up is easy as the fabric simply slides over the frame.

Pros:

• Brilliant Colors
• Non-Reflective Material
• Unique Shapes Available
• Premium Quality
• Portable
• Easy Set Up

Cons:

• Expensive
• Indoor Use Only

Classic Banner Stands

Of course, there's nothing like a classic banner stand for displaying your graphics. Our classic banner stands come in a silver or black finish and can be single or double sided for maximum display area.

The graphics are held with a top and bottom clamp ramp rail system to keep your display crisp and beautiful. Graphics are quickly and easily changed as often as you want!

Pros:

• Lightweight
• Easy Setup
• Double Sided
• Adjustable Height
• Easy Graphic Change

Cons:

• Indoor Use Only

Telescopic Banner Stands

If you'd like to have more flexibility in the height of your banner, a telescopic banner stand might be the right choice. These banner stands typically have a poster sized graphic display area and an adjustable base. These look terrific as directional signs, retail displays, and more!

Pros:

• Adjustable Height
• Quick and Easy Setup

Cons:

• Less Graphic Display Area
• May Tip in High Traffic
• Indoor Use Only

Outdoor Display Stands

If you're planning to display your banner outdoors, you'll need to make sure you select a frame that can withstand wind and severe weather. Banner stands made for outdoor use are typically made with heavy-duty springs for flexibility.

Poster stands are an excellent choice for outdoor displays. The wheeled base can be filled with water for extra weight and heavy-duty flex springs help the display to withstand strong winds. Our poster stand has a double sided aluminum frame with a silver finish.

Pros:

• Heavy Duty
• Weather Resistant

Cons:

• Requires More Set Up
• More Difficult to Transport
