Pull Up Banners: A Valuable Print Asset

If you’re involved in marketing and promoting a business, then you know the importance of business events. Whether it’s a corporate function, a product launch, an exhibition or a tradeshow, you would see such an event as a real opportunity to reach out and get up close with people, especially with those who aren’t very familiar with your company. And while it matters to know how to speak and interact with those people confidently, there is another side of the strategy you can’t ignore: visual aids. And that’s where pull up banners become particularly useful.

The material of your banners is another factor to take into consideration. Essentially, you want to make appropriate choices for both the stock, as in the type of fabric being used, and the base, which pertains to the actual unit that keeps the banner steady.

For stock type, we at The Print Company offer the synthetic grey back, which is our standard material for pull up banners. It is basically made of lightly textured, curl resistant PVC material. The grey back component is for opacity, preventing light from shining through the banner from behind. Alternatively, there’s the thick polyester (440gsm or grams per square metre) which is more flexible of a material than the synthetic grey back.

As for the base type, you can either select a silver base, which is our standard base for these banners and also the most economical option, or you can pay a little bit more for a premium black base, designed as a slim line base. It also does appear sleeker when comparing the two.

Unlike non-retractable banners, the distinct advantage that pull up banners have maintenance-wise is how easy it is to keep them safely stored and protected from the air and outdoor elements. Nevertheless, some basic practices should still be adhered to. 

Never store these banners in extreme heat or expose them to extreme light while you travel, so that means checking that sunlight isn’t striking it directly in your vehicle. Also, in the event that you need to clean a pull up banner or get rid of a distinct mark, stick to using a mild soap, a cotton cloth and lukewarm (not hot) water. Gentleness is the key here. Finally, do not try to brush, power wash, steam clean or apply any heavy-duty products on it.
