Here are a few frequently asked questions to help you order and customize your banner displays.

FAQs When Ordering Custom Banner Displays:

What is a Retractable Banner?

Retractable banners, also known as roll-up banners or pull-up banners, are a versatile and portable advertising solution. These banners consist of a printed graphic that is housed within a retractable base. Retractable banners are also easy to set-up and take down, making them ideal for trade shows and events.

At CustomBannerLab, we specialize in retractable pull-up banner displays. We print our retractable banner on a high-end fade resistant “no-curl” matte speciality material that will look amazing for years to come. In addition, our retractable banner stand has a heavy-duty base which provides stability and allows the display to be left up for long periods of time. When you order a retractable banner from us, the package includes the display stand, the printed graphic and a free carrying case. 


What is the difference between "fabric" and "vinyl" banners?

Choosing between fabric and vinyl banners depends on your specific requirements. Vinyl banners offer durability and are suitable for outdoor use, while fabric banners provide a softer, more elegant look, and are ideal for indoor events. We use a matte finish smooth texture vinyl for all of your banner displays except for our SKYTALL banners, which are made from a stretch fabric.

Vinyl material is considered the industry standard material for all retractable banner displays and takes beautiful full-color images. It is also waterproof, UV resistant, and anti-glare.

Whether you choose a vinyl or fabric vertical banner stand, we provide excellent quality printing and stunning graphics. Your brand will stand out from the crowd with the professional print quality and vivid colors. 

How do you customize a banner?

Start by checking out our retractable banner display solutions and select the one that suits your needs. In our easy checkout process, select your desired size and art work options (upload your artwork or we can also design it for you).

Next, when you place the order and checkout, you will receive an email confirmation and a link to upload your artwork (if you choose to upload one). Once you upload the artwork, our graphic designer will email you a digital mock-up of the design (proof) before your order is sent into production.

Once you’ve completed this process and approved the proof, our team will begin creating your custom banner. Production and delivery time is normally around 5-7 days.


Tips for Choosing the Right Size, Materials, and Design Elements for Your Custom Banners

  • Size: Determine the available space at your booth and choose a size that fits comfortably without overwhelming the area.
  • Materials: Consider the environment where the banner will be displayed. For outdoor events, opt for durable materials like vinyl, while fabric banners are ideal for indoor use.
  • Design Elements: Ensure your banner design is visually appealing and effectively communicates your brand message. Keep text concise and legible, and incorporate eye-catching graphics to grab attention.
