A roll-up banner, also called a retractable or pull-up banner, is the workhorse of event marketing. Your full-colour graphic is printed on a durable, curl-resistant banner material, attached to a spring-loaded aluminum base, and pulled up onto a telescoping pole in seconds. When the event is over, the graphic retracts safely into the base. Every First Press roll-up includes the stand and a padded carry bag, so you get a complete, ready-to-use display in one box.
The classic 33.5 x 85 inch format gives you a tall, head-height display with a footprint barely larger than the base itself. It is ideal for anyone who exhibits, presents, or promotes on the move: sales teams, event organizers, retailers, clinics, schools, and nonprofits.
Roll-up banners shine at trade show booths and conference stages, in hotel and office lobbies, beside registration and welcome desks, at product launches and press events, in retail entrances announcing promotions, at job fairs and recruiting events, and as reusable backdrops for talks, photo opportunities, and pop-up activations.
Think about how often the banner will travel. The included base and carry bag are built for regular transport, and the retracting mechanism protects the print between events, so one well-designed banner can serve a full season of shows. If you exhibit at several booths at once, ordering multiple units of the same design is usually more economical than shipping one banner back and forth, and orders over $200 qualify for free ground shipping.
Design for distance. Your headline and logo should sit in the top third of the banner, where they stay visible above crowds and furniture and land at eye level. Keep body text brief and at least an inch tall, and keep essential content well away from the bottom edge: the last few inches typically feed into the base, and a thin strip at the top tucks behind the clamp rail. Exact hidden areas vary by stand, so we recommend a generous safety zone.
Prepare your file at full size in CMYK with bleed, following our 33.5 x 85 inch template. A resolution of 150 dpi at final size keeps photos sharp at arm's length. Use rich, saturated colours; the smooth banner surface reproduces deep tones and gradients beautifully.
Yes. Every roll-up banner ships as a complete kit: printed graphic pre-installed in the retractable aluminum base, telescoping support pole, and a carry bag for transport and storage.
About ten seconds. Unfold the foot, insert the pole, pull the graphic up, and clip it to the top of the pole. No tools are required, and one person can do it easily.
They are designed for indoor use. A sheltered spot with no wind is fine for short periods, but for true outdoor advertising a feather flag or vinyl banner with grommets is the safer choice.
Always supply a print-ready PDF with at least 1/8 inch (0.125 in) of bleed on every side and crop marks included, built in CMYK. Keep important text and logos at least 1/8 inch inside the trim line so nothing is cut off. If you are not sure how to export it that way, our file preparation guide walks through the exact settings for Canva, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Word. Prefer to design it yourself? Use the personalization option in the upload section to build your artwork right on the page before you order.
