FAQ
What size banner stand fits a 10x10 booth?
For a standard 10x10 booth, a 33" x 79" retractable banner stand is the most space-efficient choice. If you need flexibility, a telescopic banner stand offers adjustable height for different display setups. For a wider display, a 40" x 79" model fits larger graphics.
Do retractable banner stands come with custom printing?
Yes. The Custom Retractable Banner Stand (33" x 81") offers an optional single-sided custom printed graphic in premium fabric or classic vinyl. To order, submit your artwork as a PDF file in CMYK color mode. All other retractable banner stands in this collection are sold as hardware only.
Are there bulk trade show stand options?
Yes. 33" x 79" retractable banner stands are available in 10-pack sets, including options with standard or shock-cord poles. Each unit includes a base, pole, clamping bar, and carrying bag.
Is a retractable banner stand easy to set up alone?
Yes. Pull the banner up from the base, extend the 3-section shock-cord pole, and lock it between the base and clamping bar. Remove the locking pin after assembly. No tools are required, and setup takes under a minute for one person.
What is the largest backdrop stand for step and repeat walls?
A 10' x 10' telescopic backdrop stand is the largest option, designed to support full-size step and repeat walls. For smaller setups, 10' x 8' backdrop stands provide a more flexible fit for compact booth layouts.
Is there a backdrop stand for smaller event spaces?
Yes. 8' x 8' backdrop stands are suitable for smaller event spaces and can be adjusted to fit compact setups where a full 10' wide backdrop is not needed.
How do I adjust a backdrop stand?
Twist and slide each pole section to the desired width or height, then lock it in place with the screw knobs. Width and height are adjusted independently, and no tools are required.
Can a telescopic backdrop stand hold a heavy fabric banner?
Yes. Heavy-duty telescopic backdrop stands are designed to support fabric banners and thicker materials. Models like the 10' x 10' Heavy Duty Telescopic Backdrop Stand use reinforced aluminum poles and a stable steel base to handle heavier display setups.
What is the difference between a pop up podium and a portable trade show counter?
The pop up trade show podium counter uses an extendable aluminum frame with a fabric wrap, two interior shelves, and a waterproof tabletop, making it ideal for larger exhibit setups. In contrast, the portable trade show podium counter uses a lightweight PVC panel design that breaks down into three parts, making it better suited for compact booths and solo exhibitors.
How fast does the pop up podium set up?
A pop up trade show podium counter typically sets up in about 10 minutes. Connect the boards with the bars to assemble the frame, then attach the tabletop. Carrying bags help keep components organized for quick setup and breakdown.
How can I display custom branding on a trade show podium?
Trade show podiums can display custom branding using a fabric wrap with a hook and loop strap system for attaching logos or banners. Some models include a large wrap surface, around 78" x 38", allowing graphics to be visible from multiple angles.
Is a portable trade show podium counter suitable for product demos?
Yes. A portable trade show podium counter can be used as a demo table, with a stable surface and a design that allows one person to stand behind it, making it suitable for product demonstrations, sample distribution, and interactive setups.
What type of lighting can be used with banner stands?
LED clamp lights can be used with banner stands to improve visibility. The 12W 19" Clamp Light Fixture (2-Pack) clips onto the top bar of compatible retractable stands and fits bars up to 1 3/4" thick. It features adjustable arms to direct light onto the display.
Do you have a brochure stand for a trade show booth?
Yes. The 4 Pocket Folding Literature Rack Brochure Stand holds standard 8.5" x 11" brochures across four pockets and folds flat for easy transport. It includes a carrying bag and is designed for use at trade shows, reception areas, and events.
What is the return policy for trade show stands?
