Roll Up Banners make Trade Shows Easy!
Roll up banners (sometimes also called pull up banners or retractable banner stands) have become very popular in the last decade, for some very good reasons. Most people working large numbers of trade shows for their company are on the road a lot, traveling between different trade show events and clients, constantly spreading the word regarding goods and services provided by the business.
For anyone who loves traveling and being on the open road, this type of job is a fine option, but lots of traveling often equates to limited storage space – generally folks try to minimize what they have to drag along or ship while traveling – it’s just easier. 
Outside of what the individual(s) need while traveling on the road, the material required to put on a successful booth at the trade show takes up a good amount of space, so whenever it is possible to save on room while traveling, it is highly recommended.
Of course, it isn’t possible to flatten a sign any more than it is, or shrink the size of the swag pens and bottle openers given out at the booth. However, roll up banners and tension fabric trade show displays can minimize the amount of space and costs incurred for storage, shipping, and setup.
This is why having roll up banners is so valuable, as not only does the banner present any desired information to potential customers and curious viewers, but the roll up banners – you guessed it, they ROLL UP! This means that when you’re done with it, the graphic is stored, clean and safe, and all that you’re left to carry is a small tube that can fit into just about anything, often including a briefcase and backpack.
Roll up banners for trade shows and other presentations vary in size, making it possible to adjust the necessary material and information, depending on the trade show being visited. Sizes vary, depending on the manufacturer, but typically these trade show banners are available in a 24″ width, 30-32″, 36-39, and 45-48″ width. The banners also feature adjustable heights, either by using the telescopic pole and adjusting the height, or by using a 3 or 4 pole stand and using one less pole, as required.
The other main difference between trade show banners is the print method and banner material; economical systems use inkjet digital prints on smooth vinyl, and more expensive banners use dye sublimation prints on fabric. Both methods can use the same hardware, and graphics can be swapped out in your favorite dealers print shop in minutes, usually at no cost.
If the booth at one trade show is significantly larger than another, it is important to have a banner that is able to fit this larger surface space. While carrying around large, bulky signs is not easy, it is simple to solve this problem with roll up banners – you can either have a wider banner made, or you can combine two or more smaller width banners to fill the space.
The roll up banners can also work in other locations, outside of the trade show world. Because the banner graphics can say anything, it is possible to have generic information and the company name printed on an outdoor banner stand, so should a company picnic, show or presentation take place, a different sign does not need to be purchased. In fact, it is possible to use the same banner anywhere, and as it is easily transported in the back of a car or other vehicle, all you need to do is set it up.
As is the case with other presentation information, these trade show banners are almost always digitally printed, with very high quality print and photographic color imaging. Having profession looking signage on hand to promote your products to potential customers and clients is vital, especially at a trade show. On top of this, storage space in a vehicle is also limited, so it is important to have enough space to transport all content for the trade show booth.
This is why having roll up banner stands is so important, as they are able to present an attractive display in less than a minute, without taking up much space, making it easier for whomever is working the show to focus on the client, not on any cumbersome or difficult-to-use display tools.
