A portable powerhouse

Announce your presence during conferences and events, farmers markets, real estate showings and more with custom retractable banners. Our aluminium pull-up banner stands are ideal for trade shows thanks to their portability, while heavier cassettes are great for retail environments that prioritize long-term display. Use your custom banner stand to promote special offers, advertise new products or share a QR code – whatever message you’d like. Regardless of which retractable banner you choose, their easy assembly and included carrying case means your event setup (and take down) is quick and stress-free.

Easy to set up & reuse

Our roll-up retractable banners come preassembled with everything you need – cassette, banner and case – in 4 versatile sizes: 24" x 62", 24" x 81", 33" x 81" and 47" x 81". Choose from 3 materials: vinyl for durability and indoor displays, PVC-free vinyl for eco-conscious events and polyester fabric for a softer feel. Durable and ready for repeated and long-term indoor use, these banner stands are a great way to get your brand noticed in busy settings. Pick the retractable banner stand that fits your needs – standard for occasional use, standard plus and premium for trade shows and retail displays or premium plus and elite for high-traffic environments. When assembling, use both hands to pull up from the center of your banner stand to avoid damage. Upgrade to our protective glossy coating to guard against scuffs and enhance the vibrancy of your design (available with our vinyl material). And when you're done, slowly lower your banner straight down into the cassette, keeping control of the top bar to protect the mechanism. Pop it in its case and store it for your next event.

Intuitive design process

To start creating your retractable banner, upload your design or explore our gallery of fully customizable design templates, including industry- and event-specific options.

Hello, I ordered a six-foot banner, but the banner I received is only four feet tall. Unfortunately, it is too small and will not meet my needs, as it was specifically ordered for a job fair. I am extremely disappointed with my first order. Please let me know how you will resolve this issue as soon as possible
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear that you didn't receive the size banner you expected to get. Our check has indicated that your order consisted of a 24" x 62" banner. We recommend that, for future banner orders, the 24” x 81” size would be a more fitting option. Details of this confirmation can be viewed in the order history/details of your VistaPrint account. We have completed our checks and have emailed you details related to a resolution that has been provided to you. Please be reminded that our care team is always available to assist with any product or design-related queries.

Important notes to keep in mind:

Tips for Assembly:

  • Pull from the center when raising the banner. This prevents material from pulling to the side.
  • Avoid jerky movements – be gentle with the mechanism.
  • If the banner leans forward, adjust the pole at the base to make sure it connects with both holes.

Tips for Disassembly:

  • Lower the banner straight down, not at an angle. This keeps the rolled banner even and prevents edges from catching on the cassette metal.
  • Keep control of the top bar as the banner lowers so it doesn't slam into the cassette.
  • If you see fraying or scrapes, check that material edges aren't caught in the base.
  • If the banner won't retract, make sure the pin isn't inserted into the side of the stand. (Note: the pin should have been removed during manufacturing.)
  • If the banner feels stuck, gently pull the material out and realign it so it retracts smoothly.

The biggest difference between these banners is the material used, portability and display setup.

  • Retractable Banners: This style includes a vinyl, PVC-free vinyl or polyester fabric banner that comes preassembled with a retractable banner stand and carrying case. It offers quick setup and takedown with multiple cassette options and sizes available. Perfect for portable indoor displays.
  • Mesh Banners: Made of woven polyester mesh, these banners are best for outdoor and windy conditions, with included grommets and reinforced edges.
  • Fabric Banners: Made of recyclable, scratch-resistant polyester with included grommets. Great for indoor and outdoor use.
  • Vinyl Banners: Our most popular banner. Your choice of 5 materials, with options for indoor and outdoor use..

Yes.

We offer 3 banner materials: Our vinyl material is .31 mm thick, our PVC-free vinyl is 0.36 mm thick and our polyester fabric is .37 mm.

We do not recommend our retractable banners for outdoor use. See our variety of outdoor signage here.

Not at this time.

Each material offers different benefits for your custom retractable banner:

  • Vinyl: Smooth, light-blocking vinyl that offers durability for indoor displays and trade shows.
  • PVC-Free Vinyl: PVC- and phthalate-free vinyl with a smooth feel and light-filtering properties.
  • Polyester Fabric: Knotted, coated fabric that blocks light with a softer appearance for design-forward displays.

Note: Material availability varies by cassette type. See our chart in the 1st FAQ for details on which materials are available with each cassette option.

Store your banner in its carrying case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For vinyl and PVC-free vinyl, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For polyester, use a soft brush to remove dust. Allow banners to air dry completely before storing. Avoid extreme temperatures and prolonged sunlight to keep your promotional display vibrant for trade shows and events.
