Pull-Up Banner Stands for Events, Lobbies, and Portable Displays
Retractable banner stands store the printed graphic inside a compact base, allowing the display to be transported, deployed, and packed away with minimal setup.
The Sign Catalog pairs compatible stand hardware with a printed graphic sized for the selected system. No-curl or other suitable display materials may be used depending on the stand and project requirements.

Choose the Stand Before Finalizing the Graphic
Retractable stand models vary in size, stability, graphic attachment, replacement options, and included accessories.

Use and care
Protect the Graphic and Retraction Mechanism
Careful setup, retraction, transport, and storage help extend the useful life of the stand.
Setup
- Place the base on a stable, level interior surface
- Raise the graphic slowly and evenly
- Secure the support pole before releasing the graphic
Retraction
- Lower the graphic slowly while guiding it into the base
- Do not allow the banner to snap into the cassette
- Stop if the graphic binds, wrinkles, or retracts unevenly
Transport and Storage
- Use the carrying case when one is supplied
- Store in a dry, temperature-controlled location
- Avoid dropping the base or placing weight on the hardware
