Setting up a trade show display
can be hard work, and always takes time, and anything that 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. |
