Setting up a trade show display can be hard work, and always takes time, and anything thsat saves time and makes the job easier is worth considering. One of the quickest ways to set up a graphic display at a trade show is to use retractable banner stands. These stands have an aluminum construction, which makes them light and portable, a rear pole that holds the graphic in place, and sometimes have a pivot foot on the base in order that the stand can be turned to face the audience. The weight is low, and there is often a carrying case included. This article will look at these points in turn and discuss considerations to be made when buying a retractable banner stand.

Since the material used in these stands is often aluminum, the weight is fairly low. This makes it easy to move the display stand to other parts of the display booth or even the conference hall if needed. The aluminum construction is also strong enough to with stand constant use without the need for excessive maintenance.

With these types of stands the graphic is supported on a rear pole, which has a hook to attach the graphic. The pole is usually supplied in three sections, which needs to be assembled before the graphic can be hung on the display. With some models the pole can be folded on itself to make a shorter pole and therefore display the graphic at half length suitable for table top display.

It is important that the graphic can be seen by the prospective audience, and so it is useful if the graphic can be turned easily without having to move the whole display unit. In order to achieve this some retractable banner stands have a foot which contains a pivot so that the direction of the graphic can be moved easily.

In terms of weight, most retractable display stands come in under ten pounds, and even less in some cases, making them extremely easy to carry and transport to and from the trade show venue. Allied to the fact that the stand often comes with an integral carrying case, and portability is made doubly easy.

As can be seen, there are many advantages to retractable display stands, not least the strong yet light aluminum construction, the ability to hang graphics at half-size on a table top, and the ability to change the direction of the graphic easily. By doing some research into the various online graphic stand suppliers you should be able to find a graphic stand that easily fits your needs.
