The display you will use most often
A roller banner is the most used piece of display most organisations own: reception, recruitment events, open days, conferences and presentations. It sets up in under a minute and packs into a bag.
The thing worth spending on is the cassette. A cheap mechanism will not retract straight and the graphic curls at the edges within a year. A decent base will outlast several graphics, and the graphic can be replaced on its own for a fraction of a new unit.
Before you order
The bottom 200mm of a roller banner is usually hidden behind furniture, people or a table. Putting the phone number or web address at the very bottom is the commonest design error. Keep essential information in the upper two thirds.

Common questions
What size is a standard roller banner?
800mm or 850mm wide is the everyday format, with wider options available. The graphic is replaceable within the same cassette.
Where should key information go on a roller banner?
In the upper two thirds. The bottom 200mm is usually hidden behind furniture, people or a table, so a phone number at the very bottom is the most common design error.
Is a premium cassette worth it?
For regular use, yes. A cheap mechanism will not retract straight and the graphic curls at the edges within a year, whereas a good base outlasts several graphics.
Need portable display?
Tell us how many and how often you will use them, and we will recommend a cassette that suits.
