Questions we get asked

How do I set up pull-up banner artwork?

Set your canvas to 850 x 2000mm, keeping the bottom 100mm blank since it rolls inside the cassette and stays hidden. Place your key message and branding in the top third so they remain visible above eye level in crowded rooms, and avoid placing critical information within 400mm of the floor.

Can I reuse the base and just change the graphic?

Yes, if you choose our premium models—they feature an interchangeable cartridge system so you can swap out graphics while keeping the same hardware. Standard economy stands are permanently sealed during production, meaning the print and base must be replaced together.

Can a pull-up banner go outside?

Only in calm, sheltered areas while supervised. They lack the weighted stability required for wind, and the materials aren’t rated for prolonged sun exposure. For true outdoor use, opt for an outdoor A-frame or an eyeletted banner secured to fencing.

How do I stop an A-frame blowing over?

Choose a model with a ballast chamber and fill it with sand or water, or suspend a sandbag from the center hinge. Large panels catch the wind quickly, so an unweighted frame placed on an open sidewalk will easily tip over.

Does the stand come with a carry bag?

Yes, retractable pull-up banners include a padded travel bag, while X-frame stands come with a protective fabric sleeve. A-frames are shipped flat-packed or pre-assembled based on the design—let us know if you need yours sidewalk-ready upon delivery.
