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:
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:
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
