You’ve designed your custom banners and you know how you want to display them: with a banner stand. But you’re not done yet. You need to decide what kind of banner stand to use. Yes, there are multiple kinds of banner stands. Go figure!
The FOUR main categories of banner stands are:
- Simple
- Flexi
- Pole
- Retractable
You should determine which type of banner stand to choose based on three things:
- The size of your banner
- Where you are displaying your banner
- What the message of your banner is
Okay, now keeping those things in mind, let’s determine which type of banner stand is right for you!
Simple banner stands are the kind you often see in malls, department stores, cafes and museums. They are chrome or black and look like a large picture frame on top of legs OR an A-frame. Simple stands for custom banners are the easiest to install. Simply slide in your graphic and you’re done!
- For smaller banners only
- For indoor use
- Ideal for promoting sales, daily specials and exhibits
- We offer the Classic Banner Stand and the EZ Change A-Frame Stand
Flexi banner stands are flexible in the sense that you can use one panel to display your vertical banner or you can connect multiple panels to display a large-scale horizontal banner. They offer single and double sided options and are set up by connecting the aluminum pieces. Flexi stands fold up so even large banners are portable!
- For larger vertical custom banners and multiple-paneled horizontal banners (great if you change banners a lot and want options!)
- For indoor use or temporary outdoor use. Commonly seen at tradeshows and conventions, travel agencies and airports (great for large scenic banners, and playhouses (connected banners make great backdrops)
