Retractable Banner Stand Graphics Guidelines

2 MIN READ
Level: basic

Custom Retractable Banners help you promote products and services, advertise events and display marketing messages with vibrant print and a setup that’s so easy. Since pop-up banners come pre-assembled with the vinyl banner rolled in the stand, it’s important to follow our retractable banner stand graphics guidelines so they display correctly.

Retractable Banner Stands

Aluminum banner stands are easy to set up with a three-part pole design and an integral pole storage unit in the base. Durable and conveniently portable, stands include hardware and a soft carrying case.

Retractable Banner Stand Graphics Guidelines

Working with an online printer like Smartpress means you have premium options for displaying your custom banner. Before you design it, adjust your art accordingly:

  • 0.5″ of your artwork will be covered on the top for installation of the hanger.
  • 6″ of your artwork will be covered on the bottom for attachment to the base.
  • Leave a minimum of 0.25″ bleed on each side.

And check out these online printing dimension guidelines so nothing is covered or cut off by the stand:

  • Overall dimensions: These are the dimensions of your banner, including the stand.
  • File dimensions: This is the final printed size.
  • Viewable graphics: This is the area of your graphics that’s displayed. When setting up your file, be sure to keep imagery and content within these dimensions.
