The Roller Banner – The Ultimate in Go Anywhere Advertising

Posted by on Thursday, 18 February, 2010

A roller banner display is a cost-effective mobile marketing solution. Internationally accepted as a trade show, business convention, and event marketing favorite, the roll up banner is the most prevalent form of display advertising seen today.

How it Works

Roller banners are vinyl or PVC banners that roll up into a cartridge set inside an aluminum base. The removable cartridge opens up to allow the banner to be pulled up and attached to the top of the support pole. The support pole is a simple tool that unfolds from the display stand base, clicks into the cassette, and is ready to go. The entire system is highly portable and fits into a shoulder bag. Both single-sided and dual roller banner stands are available, which allows a message to be taken down while the other side continues to display the advertisement. Because the cartridges can be removed, changing banners is an easy process that takes only seconds.

Who Uses Them

For a business, cheap roller banners are handy display tools to have on hand, and banner stands should be on hand for promotional events, sales calls, or in house presentations. A sales representative can add visual interest to a product pitch with roll up banner displays as well. The units are light weight, and the graphics on the banner are reliably protected inside the base of the stand.

In the lobby of a building, roller banner stand displays create an interesting accent or backdrop, and can draw attention to new businesses, services, or products while people wait. As a point of sale display, the roller banner stand captivates the customer and increases sales.


For advertising upcoming shows to hotel guests or visitors, or highlighting the specialties of a restaurant, a portable banner display is ideal. Setting a banner display stand with stunning graphics in a high traffic area is an excellent way to draw attention to the ad. To accommodate the frequent changes in entertainment, the same stands can be used repeatedly.

Trade shows take the roller banner stand display to new levels. With a sizable amount of competition and a limited amount of potential customers, businesses need to have the most attractive display table and booths, and execute effective means to bring people to those booths. The simple banner display can be purchased as a dual roller banner or a single, and set up to be noticed by people from several yards away.

To create the highest impact, a dual roller banner stand is the best choice for drawing people to a display. Having a fantastic graphic to show people no matter what direction they come from is sure to get them to steer towards your booth. Single sided roller banner display stands can be just as effective, depending on their placement. Utilizing the space behind or on the sides of the trade show display is just as important as drawing customers to the display. By having a roll up display system consisting of two or more banners side by side, a vibrant backdrop can be created to keep the customers attention on your company and products.

Another organization that utilizes the roller banner is a school or university. No other method is as practical as a retractable roller banner when it comes to displaying school information and events in halls, administrative offices, and throughout campus.

Sizes and Graphics

Vinyl and PVC roll up banners are most often made from two to four feet wide, and up to eight feet tall. Beyond this size, the roller banner displays begin to require additional framework for stabilization, and their portability is greatly reduced. Still, a fully loaded banner display system rarely weighs more than 10-15 lbs. including cartridges, banners, banner stand, and supporting aluminum pole.

Regardless of the size of the banner, the printing methods and technology available today are more than capable of yielding professional photo quality images onto your banners. The digital printing process yields the best image quality; reproducing digital captures that look as good or better than the original. Artwork and detailed graphics can also be professionally printed, a common sight near museums, art fairs, and of course, at any place of business that has licensed the art for marketing purposes.

Professional printers of roller banners pride themselves on a fast turnaround time once the order is placed. There is even a company named Kazoo roller banners uk that boasts a two to three day delivery time no matter what the order. Some orders may require a different printing process however, resulting in a longer lead time. Bulk orders of professional quality printing can be done more cost effectively with silk screening than with digital printing, but are more time consuming to produce. Other methods of printing are for the simple roller banner that will only display lettering. These banners are easily mass produced and inexpensive.


Outstanding Displays With Roller Banners

Posted by on Tuesday, 16 February, 2010

The most convenient way to display an advertisement for a trade show, convention, or business meeting, is with simple and attractive roller banners. These versatile display tools are right for every occasion.

Convenient Anywhere

Much like a projection screen, the roller banner is a vinyl screen attached to a roller with a recoil mechanism, which is rolled out from the base of the roller banner stand, and locks out at the desired height. To support it in place, a folding aluminum pole makes an unobtrusive ‘frame’ for the banner. The pole folds back into the base, along with the banner, and the whole package can be carried in a single shoulder bag. Roller banner stands are convenient anywhere, and easy to carry.

Take the roller banner to a trade show and draw more attention to the table or booth; set the roller banner stand outside a retail store to advertise a sidewalk sale. The convenience of the vinyl banner and stand doesn’t stop there. This portable display media is equally at home outside a sidewalk cafe by the beach. The lightweight vinyl is suitable for resisting the elements for a few hours a day, and the solvent-based inks don’t fade easily.

Roller banners are also frequently seen advertising entertainment. From a comedy show, to concerts, or holiday plays, the roller banner stand can adapt to any situation.

Easy Transitions

The retractable rolling banner can be taken down and put up in seconds. The vinyl banner rolls up into a cassette cartridge in the stand’s base, which can be removed. Take out the cassette cartridge, or the banner, and replace it with a different banner. The switch is simple and fast. Choose a banner stand with two rollers for a high foot traffic area. Each roller can display the same message or a unique one, and will be seen by people in either direction from several yards away. When purchasing roller banners and stands, consider how frequently the display will need to be changed, if at all, and purchase additional cartridges to have the smoothest transition possible.

Professional Quality Imaging

Additional banners can be purchased for multiple locations, or just to have back ups on hand in case of a rip or tear. However, this is only likely to happen while the banner is on display. The clever design means that the roller banner is carefully protected inside its base or cartridge any time it is not in use. Vinyl banners can show any message, photographic image, or artwork with professional color quality and sharpness. For the best photo image quality, the image files are uploaded to the printers, who then use a digital printing process to render a high resolution image onto the banner. This process creates life-like images that can be printed to as large a size as the resolution will allow.

Cheap vinyl banners can be done with computer cut lettering. A ‘For Sale’ sign, or simple message advertising apartments for rent doesn’t need to be a museum quality image, and isn’t practical for digital printing or silk screening. The time honored process of silk screening can also be applied to printing high quality color images on vinyl banners. This method is best for a bulk order of banners where image quality still counts.

Artwork, whether scanned from a digital file or created with a computer illustration program, is also suitable for vinyl banners. For the highest caliber of transfer, artwork should be created using vector-based technology, which allows for more manipulation to get the best results. Many beautiful and stunning graphics are displayed on vinyl roller banners, and the image lasts indoors for years.

How Big?

A roller banner can be created in any size, but to be practical, the industry is set up to deliver banners between 24 and 48 inches across, and as high as eight feet. Multiple banners can be arranged side by side to display a mosaic effect, showcasing a single image divided among them. Whether the banner stand is a single or double, and how large the banner is will affect the weight of the whole package. However, even the largest banner stands containing two roller banners and cassette cartridges are still under twenty pounds. One important feature of roller banner displays is the presence of a tension knob. This knob allows the banner to be tightened up to maintain a flawless face, that will also protect it from wrinkling.

Cost Effective Advertising

Media advertising can take up a large part of a businesses annual budget. However, finding effective ways to attract new customers without spending ever greater sums can be difficult. Banners on roll up stands make this a simple choice. For around $200-$300, a high quality advertising banner and stand can be purchased and used over and over. Only the banner needs to be replaced when it becomes outdated. Treated well, the stand will last a lifetime. Using roll up banners at trade shows maximizes their exposure to the target market.


Roller Banner Stands

If you are looking for a hassle free way to carry your banner to any location, then you might want to consider roller banner stands and the benefits they can offer you. The main benefit of a banner stand is that it makes it easy to transport your banner to your location. Unrolling the banner and setting it up to the attached stand is a simple and straightforward process, especially if your stand has advanced features, such as a telescopic stand and a tripod. Once set up and extended, the base can be maneuvered any way you please, making it easy to get the best look for your banner in your chosen presentation.

Roller banner stands are also a great tool to have when you have limited space in your presentation area, but you still want to command the attention of your audience. For this reason, they are often used in large public venues and office buildings in order to display banners and crests. They help keep the banner and crest in great condition, while advertising your business or organization in a way that leaves an impact on people’s minds.

The popularity of banner stands has risen because they are easy to disassemble and carry wherever you need to go. If you find yourself needing to give a presentation in multiple cities for your company and you want to draw the attention of the crowd without having to lug around a huge banner, then you should consider a banner stand for ease of use and the convenience that it provides you.

Most banner stands can be folded up and packed away neatly into a medium sized nylon bag. This makes them easy to transport with you, wherever you may need to go. From sporting events, festival venues, to stages, having your banner in one easy to unpack package will cut your set up time in half, especially if your chosen venue or location does not have a clear place to hang a regular banner.

When setting up your banner, make sure to give yourself plenty of time to find the best place to position it relative to yourself and the speech you will be giving. You want to find a good balance between having the banner near yourself so it draws attention, but you do not want it to draw complete attention away from you so that the crowd is focused on it, instead of you. Placing the banner in a highly visible location while finding a balance between yourself means you will convey the message you want to your crowd, without distracting them with your banner.

If you are interested in purchasing your own banner stand to use, you will first need to decide on the features you will need. Traditional banner stands are equipped with a lighting system for optimal lighting for your banner. If you will be operating in a venue that does not have much light on the stage, then you will need a banner stand that has lighting built in. The lighting is also useful because it draws attention to the banner.

If you purchase a banner stand that has lighting, you will need to consider electric outlets. These may not be readily available in your venue, especially if you are giving an outdoor presentation at night. Considering an external power source for your stand should be a priority for you, especially if you know you will be at a location with limited electric supply. While adding the ability to remotely power your stand will add to the weight and the bulk, it will be worth it in the long run.

If you will have access to a power supply, there are banner stands that allow you display dynamic images for your banner. Dynamic banners have the added plus of being able to draw wider crowd appeal, since many people will focus on the images as they change across your banner. You can use this type of banner to display multiple images concerning your presentation, giving it that much more power when attempting to convert the crowd into customers.

Roller banner stands are available at a wide variety of locations, including at many office supply stores and even online, if you are unable to find exactly what you need. When purchasing your stand, consider the features you will need, and how much you are willing to spend on getting your message across to your crowd. Banner stands are durable products and could last you several years, so purchasing one that will have all of the features you need will be better in the long run than purchasing one that lacks a feature you may want further down the road.

Aside from their extreme portability and display versatility, the banner stand makes the perfect addition to any presentation on the go.

Banner Stands of all makes and models are specifically designed for certain purposes. They are all intended to do one thing though, display someone’s message, and attract attention.
