Banner Printing FAQ

Roller banners are pop up banners. A custom printed image and design (of your choice) is printed onto 290 micron (420gsm) Supersmooth Lightstop material which forms the banner. This is then pulled out of the roller banner base (hence the moniker ‘pull up banner’) and secured with a metal pole. This creates a freestanding banner that can be displayed virtually anywhere! 

Yes and no! ‘Pop up banner’ is a commonly used term for a roller banner and in this case, the two are the same product.

However, if you’re looking for an outdoor banner stand - take a look here!
