Roll up Banner stands

[Jeff]

there is nothing worse than that happening. 😣
i have been told it happens for a few reasons but i think the budget stands are more to blame. i cant give you much advice on it. but one time i wedged a small bit of composite between the feet and the case body and fixed with a rivet. it worked well but you could not turn the feet if you wanted to take it down.

We always have this issue with budget stands. As mentioned above, we’ve wedged a few to sort in the past which isn’t exactly what your customer wants to hear.

It also helped that we shortened the length of the print slightly. This seems to create more downward/forward pressure on the units, but not by much. I’m afraid you usually get what you pay for with these things.

BTW, I don’t even offer them anymore due to the ridiculously low prices you can get them online.

Thank you Jeff and David. 😀👍

i understand what you mean with budget stands, but i wouldnt say these are the cheap-cheap type. but not a premium either. i do not mind buying better quality bases but because my main customers are theatres and event type companies, everything is short term and most is put in a skip after the shows. so you can imagine how busy things get around this time of year with pantos and things. i just dont need the extra hassle of complaints about leaning banner stands. 😭

One thing to check. Some of the cassettes have a small plastic plug on the bottom of the cassette that the pole fits into when it goes through the hole in the top of the cassette. If the pole doesn’t fit onto that it can cause the leaning.

Nothing worse than a leaning stand…
As has been said, it normally applies to budget stands. Not all, but those are generally the culprits.

As a sign business, I do not focus on selling exhibition-type stands. But if I am asked, then yes, we do them!
I only sell roll-up stands with a good, heavy base and quality print material.
I have forgotten the name, but these, which I am showing in the photos, are reliable and durable, and cost about £35-£45 per base.

On the flip side of that…
I have an order for 100 metres of poster printing and a dozen roll-up stands for a new customer.
These stands will go through First-display Trade because the customer states they will be for a short-term project on a tight budget.
I can get 3 printed roll-up stands for £90 from First Display, so it is a no-brainer! I am really busy at the moment, so this will go through them, which is very convenient for me.

thanks for your replies David and Robert 😀

where can i buy these stands from?

your stand looks very smart, but obviously more expensive for very short term events.
