Banner on Stand: How to Order the Right Display Bundle

Common Questions About Buying a Banner Stand Combo

What materials are available for a banner and stand bundle?

Banners.com offers several print materials for banner stand combos, including 13 oz vinyl, 14 oz no-curl vinyl, Banner Soft fabric, and 18 oz blockout vinyl. For most indoor stand applications, 13 oz matte vinyl or fabric are popular choices. Fabric produces a low-glare finish that looks polished under trade show and retail lighting. The 14 oz no-curl vinyl is specifically engineered to lie flat in retractable and X-display hardware, which reduces edge curl and keeps your graphic looking sharp across the full display cycle. Compare all options in our guide to types of banner materials.

What sizes do banner stand combos come in?

Banner stand sizes vary by hardware type. Tripod X displays are available in 24x48, 24x60, 24x70, and 32x72 inch configurations. Retractable stands typically range from 24 inches wide to 60 inches wide, with heights up to 90 inches. When you order a combo, the banner is printed to the exact dimensions required by that specific stand, so there is no guesswork on sizing.

How much does a banner display bundle cost?

Pricing depends on the hardware style, banner material, and size. Basic X-stand combos start at a lower price point and are well-suited for occasional use. Heavy-duty retractable and versatile stand combos are priced higher due to the aluminum hardware quality and expanded height range. Replacement banners can be ordered separately once you own the hardware, which reduces long-term cost per use. Bulk orders of multiple banner stand combos receive tiered pricing discounts.

How long does production and shipping take for a banner stand combo?

Standard production is 3 business days after final artwork approval. Express options can shorten production to 2 business days (for a small upcharge), and Priority production is available in 1 business day on select materials. Production time does not include FedEx or UPS transit. Orders submitted after 5 p.m. CST are processed the following business day. If you have a firm event date, factor in both production and transit when selecting your production speed at checkout.

Can I reuse the stand hardware with a new printed banner later?

Yes. The hardware and banner are sold together as a combo for your first purchase, but replacement banners are available for every stand model in the catalog. Once you own the stand, simply order a replacement banner sized to match your hardware — such as a Value X replacement banner, a Tripod X 32x72 replacement, or a Retractor Lite 36 replacement. This is a practical choice for businesses that update promotions seasonally or campaigns that rotate messaging across multiple events.

What artwork files do I need to submit for a banner stand combo order?

Banners.com accepts PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, PNG, and TIFF files. For clean print output, submit files at 100-150 DPI at full size, or at a reduced scale (such as 1/4 scale) at 300 DPI. Keep critical text and logos at least 0.5 inches from any finished edge. If you are uploading a file for the first time, the resource guide at banners.com/resources/how-to-order-banners-online-upload-file walks through the full process step by step.

How do I set up and take down a banner stand after an event?

Setup varies by stand type. X-stands use bungee cord poles that snap together, and the banner attaches at four corner grommets. Retractable stands simply pull the banner up from the base cassette and lock it onto the support pole. Banners.com publishes video installation guides for each hardware type, including the Value X-stand, Retractor Lite, adjustable X-stand, and versatile stand. For storage, roll retractable banners back into the base, and store X-stand banners flat or rolled loosely to prevent permanent creasing.
