“The retractable banners work fine but the print quality on one banner is horrific. Both banners were made with the same program but one is perfect and the other is a screenshot including the red underline under one of the last names. I've sent a request to customer service with "zero" response. I just want to get it corrected. On after repacking the one with the terrible print, they broke off the zipper. I had to use a pair of plyers to get into it.”

“Part of the banner was blurry and it came with a chip out of part of it. Everything stated the quality was going to be good before accepting the proof, but apparently it was not. When I contacted them, they said there was nothing they could do and that I would have to order and pay for another one.”

“PRO: I bought this just a couple weeks ago. Turn around was pretty quick, and it arrived when it said it was going to. The image looks great. The carrying case is good. CON: The hole the support pole goes into is already bending. The slot for the support pole to be stored is way wider than the pole. This means it does not clip in, so it just jiggles around loosely inside the carrying case. The biggest issues is that, though the design seems to be the same as all my other banners, something is different about the top of the banner and the way the support pole goes in. I set it up in my kitchen without a problem. However, the first time I actually used the banner, I clipped the top into the pole as normal, and it stayed for about 1 second before it spontaneously, and dare I say violently, retracted. On its way down the metal part busted my knuckles, and the side had a shard of vinyl come off, and something on the frame ripped a hole in the middle of the banner big enough to put my fist through. The banner was ripped the first time I actually used it. Now I thought it was operator error, even though I put up two banners that work the exact same way every week without an issue, but the next time I set it up, this time being careful the same thing didn't happen, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, busted knuckles and all. One final issue is that the printed area does not extend into the base, so there is a little white stripe across the bottom. Essentially, this is a descent product, but beware the pole does not fit snugly into the case, and pole is quarky about going to the top of the banner.”

Q:
I have a small tear on the edge of my retractable bannner. What typenof tabe could i use to repair it and prevent further damage.
Asked 12 months ago by Craig
A:

You would need to use a tape with heavy duty adhesive to help prevent further tears to the the  vinyl material. At the same time it can't be too thick as it may affect how the banner retracts into the mechanism. If the damage is unrepairable, you do have the option to order just the banner.

Q:
What is the bleed for a 47x80 retractable banner?
Asked a year ago by Steve A.

Q:
How to retract and close the banner
Asked a year ago by Jamila
A:

Please scroll down to the bottom of the Retractable Banner product page. The four step instruction shows how the banner is assembled. To disassemble, just follow in reverse. 

Q:
What is the minimum dpi for photos and should they be cmyk or rgb? Thanks!
Asked a year ago by arennett@comcast.net
A:

We would advise to send in at least 200-300 dpi for images to come out clearly. We print using a CMYK color format and you may send in your file as a PDF, Illustrator or Photoshop file. There are also templates you can download on the website to guide you in creating the banner so you have the proper size and bleed requirements.

Q:
In it's collapsed form inside the travel bag what are the dimensions for the smallest size? I see the question below that the banner itself would be 23.5 " but I wasn't sure if the pole collapsed to something smaller/larger than the banner.
Asked a year ago by Becca
A:

The width of the banner is 23.5".  The base which the banner folds into would be slightly longer than that in width  and would be around 7" high.The pole is collapsible into three parts, with each part around 27-28 inches long. Once it it is fully extended it has to hold up the height of the banner which is 80".
