Frequently Asked Questions

A roller banner retracts into a base cassette for storage and uses a rigid PVC graphic. A stretch fabric stand uses a soft, dye-sublimation printed fabric graphic that slides over an aluminium frame — giving a seamless, fabric-based finish that is significantly more premium in appearance. The stretch fabric stand is also double-sided as an option, whereas most roller banners are single-sided. See our roller banners for the retractable alternative.

Yes — double-sided stretch fabric stands can have the same design on both sides or completely different designs on each side at no extra cost. Single-sided stands are printed on the front only with a plain white reverse. Double-sided is ideal for freestanding positions where visitors approach from both directions.

Apply the graphic to the frame twisted approximately 30-50mm to the left or right — this prevents internal hems from creating an uneven finish along the edge of the unit. Pull the graphic downwards, then grip both sides of the frame and twist the graphic back into the correct position. Fasten the zip at the base to secure. Full assembly instructions are included with every order.

No — stretch fabric stands are recommended for indoor use only. For outdoor branded displays, see our feather flags, crest flags and heavy duty banner frames.
