The same is true for banner stands. They all present your message on a carefully designed banner. They all work about the same way. But as in cars, they do differ in cost, features and quality of material used. We offer several models because one or two cannot fill everyones needs. At the top of the scale is our BannerBug or BannerUp Plus stands. These stands offer featues like interchangable graphics, custom lighting, varible banner height, adjustable banner tension and stronger internal parts and longer warranties. But, just like everyone does need a Mercedes, not everyone needs a premimum banner stand.
Many people use these stands a couple times a year, the rest of the year the stands sit in a closet. Some people need to carry these stands around with them, so a very small, lightweight stand is what they need. Our BRB2 stand fills this need very nicely, at a much lower price point, but it does not offer some of the features of the BannerUp Plus. The BRB2 achieves this small profile by using a rotating stabilizing foot to steady the stand when set up. Some folks prefer a stand that does not use such a foot, in which case the wider base of the Mercury works well for them. Need a two sided stand? Take a look at the Gemini or BRB2 double-sided stand. We suggest you take a few moments to look the specification of each of our stands and compare pricing to see which stand means the best value to you!
Graphic Banners used in the stands
We offer a variety of banner types as well. Most of our stands are availbale in two different banner types. Our Standard banner is great for most light duty users of banner stands. It is printed on a polypropylene film and then coated with our tough texture finish overlamiante. Our Deluxe banner is designed for more heavy duty users. These are printed on a white polyester film and then coated with a scuff and fingerprint resistant texture finish over-laminate. This scuff resistance is necessary in long term use in retractable banner stands because the constant up and down movement of the banner causes small scuff marks over a long period of time. The Deluxe banner also has the added benefit of being 100% opaque - you can set this stand next to a window with sunlight pouring in and the image will not wash out.
We also offer some specialty materials - the BRBExpo uses a fabric banner to achieve a softer look in the printed graphic. The BRBecono uses a more cost effective smooth, satin finish vinyl.
