Hi Lynn. Its a pop up. The ones that are on an upside down roller blind type. 😕

as long as you are using the correct lightweight media to print onto for rollup stands. ide supply "with" a new system. you will be able to buy a budget stand from easystands.com for about £16 each, this includes stand and shoulder carry bag. all you do is add the printed media.
its better handing over a system with a new cassete/system and bag than an old one, it is for the sake of £16 anyway…

best of luck mate… we print and design in house and we sell these eco-rollups from £150 upwards.

I may be a little slow here but are you saying i should not use the OLD one they have given me but give them a new one entirely? If I did look about for some is there any i should avoid?

Its not a big job to replace the banner with a new one, but the sales talk would be:-

Yes I can replace the banner, but to be honest. unless the original one was made to be replaced, that is fitted with velcroe, or similar, then it may well be more cost effective to supply you with a new cassette,

No guarantee can be given using your old cassette, but with a new one ……**months

so for the replacement I would charge £** but a new one will only cost £**.

Cassette only print extra.

Insert your own figures to suit

Thanks Peter. I like your patter.

hi Paul
i meant forget using the old cassette/system.

unless the old ones they have are "quick change" cassettes, changing them can be a time waster. i have done it a few times with ours and they are not quick change. the winding bar is spring loaded so as soon as you unscrew the case it shoots inside spinning round a hundred times and making you jump into the bargain… maybe that’s just me? :lol1:
once open you have to remove the old, clean adhesive and replace with knew… then tension the sprung loaded bar again and try and reassemble.
it isnt very hard but takes a bit of practice to be quick at it.

i think it would be far easier to sell the customer a "complete roll-up stand, NEW and with shoulder bag" for £220 than it would to say "ill print you a new advert and stick it into your old one."
at the end of the day, he doesn’t know the breakdown on the cost of the unit. he just thinks he has a good deal.
for you its far less hassle… because loading these foist time, you dont even open them. just stick it to a double sided strip of material and allow it to wind itself in.

Hi Paul

I think it depends on the unit and how easily you can change the graphic.

The ones we use allow you to pull the feeder out and replace the graphic without undoing the cassette.

If we had to do what Rob says we would replace the whole unit.

Cheers. Nick.

I’m with Nick. It all depends on the hardware. Not all hardware out there is cheap and perhaps your end-user has very nice hardware. Lots of the good hardware is designed to have the graphic easily changed even if they’re not based on the interchangable cassette system. For example, micro-velcro is often used. Many of these units require no real disassebly as there are locking mechanisms to stop the unit from retracting while you exchange the graphic.

There are so many different roll-up units out there that it might be worth having a peek at what the client has before you decide on recommending a new unit… You could very well be doing them a disservice if they have a system like a BannerBug (which is worth every penny).

Good luck
