What Trade Show Banner Displays Do You Need?
Trade show banner displays can be very versatile and reasonably priced. Once you determine your needs for this part of your exhibit, explore the variety of available styles and compare prices to come up with a great design for your budget. Consider portability and ease of setting up your banner. A lightweight setup is likely to be less expensive to purchase and ship than a heavier one. One that doesn't require tools to set it up is also a more economical and practical choice. Also consider a banner display with an adjustable angle, so you can tilt it in the most readable and advantageous direction for your approaching customers to see. A banner stand that accommodates different sizes of banners is a good investment since you'll be able to use it for a long time, even when you change up your booth design and signs. Also consider stands that can be connected together to create different sizes and configurations for your banners. And you may want to consider a trade show banner that can accommodate lighting for maximum visibility of your exhibit. Double-sided banner displays are also a good choice if your booth will be visible from more than one angle. Naturally a double-sided exhibit needs more than one banner graphic, but the added impact can justify that expense. Retractable Banner SystemsA retractable banner display is the ultimate in easy transport, storage, and set up. The graphic resides inside a case that opens. You simply unroll the graphic and your banner is completely set up in less than a minute. In addition to trade shows, a retractable display can be used at point of purchase and other locations. Non-Retractable Banner Systems (Panels)A panel banner display system is a basic element of trade show exhibits. It's versatile, comes in a variety of sizes, and can be configured in many different ways. The panels and accessories can be changed and reassembled for new display designs, and taken apart for storage and transport. Panel displays should be designed to set up and take down quickly, and be sturdy enough to withstand repeated reassembly. Again, a design that doesn't require tools to set up is more efficient. Hanging BannersHanging trade show banners catch attention immediately, even from a distance. They can be any size from small to enormous, and should come apart easily for transportation and storage. Double-sided hanging banners are a good choice for catching traffic that's coming and going. Make sure ahead of time that your booth will have access to an area that will accommodate your hanging trade show banner, and that if you must pay someone to hang it the fee is reasonable. Outdoor BannersOutdoor banner systems should be sturdy and weather-proof. They need to withstand wind, rain, and sun without looking shabby. For safety, look for an outdoor display with a solid stand, such as a water-filled base that can be drained for storage. If tension poles and cables are necessary for the outdoor banner display, be sure they don't pose a hazard to passersby. The graphic for an outdoor banner needs to be designed for outdoor signage, to withstand UV rays and moisture. It should also be easy to wipe clean. What Kind of Trade Show Banners Do You Need?Look for a banner display system that will serve the most uses for you. Consider all your possible needs for banners, your requirements for portability and storage, and the graphics you want to use with them.
