“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:
Is there a product similar to this but has the option of swapping out the banners?
Asked a year ago by Kristie
A:

The closest in terms of similarity is the X Banner Stand which you can order additional banners for and is very easy to interchange..

Q:
What are the dimensions of these when they are collapsed?
Asked a year ago by Thera
A:

When this is fully collapsed, the base is just slightly wider than the width of whichever size of retractable banner you select (there are three sizes - 23.5" x 80, 33.5" x 80 and 47" x 80") and less than 7" high. We deliver it in a travel bag and the total weight is 8-10 lbs depending on the size of the banner.

Q:
I'm using the banner at an outside vendor show. Will I need something to weigh it down so it doesn't blow over?
Asked a year ago by Melissa P.
A:

Our retractable banners can also be used outdoors. Apparently, we don't have available weight for this type of banner at this time. 

Q:
Do you have any options for vinyl stickers/decals that will be added to banner at different times? Say at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks? want to make sure the stickers don't curl off if the banner were to be retracted.
Asked a year ago by Patricia P.
A:

Hi Patricia,

Unfortunately, all of our stickers are destructive stickers which means it would leave the adhesive when you remove them. The other option we have is the custom wall decals, the material we use there is an adhesive fabric which makes it repositionable. With proper care and cleaning it would last long.

Thanks,

Q:
Does this stand on its own?
Asked a year ago by Jd S.
A:

Yes, our retractable banners can stand on their own. 
Each retractable banner comes in a travel bag, and inside, you’ll find several parts. Here’s how to set it all up:

1. Set the base on the ground and rotate the feet out by 90 degrees.

2. Connect the support poles and insert them into the slit at the top of the base.

3. Gently lift up on the header bar, pulling the retractable banner display up at a slight angle from the base.

4.Hook the top header bar into the slot at the end of the pole.
