If you’ve been to events, trade shows or networking gatherings – you must’ve seen roll up banners or retractable banners as they’re sometimes referred as. These are highly versatile, durable, portable and affordable banner solutions for companies, brands, schools, etc.

A retractable banner is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a banner that comes in a compact banner stand, with a few components. Once you’re at your pop up location, simply open it up, pull out the banner and fix up the pole and you have yourself a standing banner.

The standing banner is the perfect way to grab attention at the front door, in the event, at various points throughout your facility, etc. Many companies use retractable banners to promote upcoming events, products, services and demos. If you’re considering getting a roll up banner for your next event or show – you should know a few things:

• Roll up banners are available with one sided and two sided printed options
• Retractable banners are available in various base sizes, ie: 33 inches, 47 inches and the table-top size

The easiest way to get started is by downloading our template for retractable banners – but you can also setup the file on your own using our specs.

Common Mistakes When Designing Banners

When designing your pull up banner, it’s important that you respect the bleed and cut lines. Unlike other banner products, with a pull up banner, some of the banner will get tucked into the stand – so you don’t want your important graphics or text to get hidden!
