A portable powerhouse

Announce your presence during conferences and events, farmers markets, real estate showings and more with custom retractable banners. Our aluminium pull-up banner stands are ideal for trade shows thanks to their portability, while heavier cassettes are great for retail environments that prioritize long-term display. Use your custom banner stand to promote special offers, advertise new products or share a QR code – whatever message you’d like. Regardless of which retractable banner you choose, their easy assembly and included carrying case means your event setup (and take down) is quick and stress-free.

Easy to set up & reuse

Our roll-up, retractable banners come preassembled with everything you need – cassette, banner and case – in 4 versatile sizes: 24" x 62", 24" x 81", 33" x 81" and 47" x 81". Durable and ready for repeated and long-term indoor use, these banner stands are a great way to get your brand noticed in busy settings. Want to add extra durability and a sleek finish? Upgrade to our protective glossy coating to guard against scuffs and enhance the vibrancy of your design (available with our 24" x 62" and 33" x 81" vinyl standard cassette). When assembling, use both hands to pull up from the center of your banner stand to avoid damage. And when you’re done, simply roll down your banner, pop it in its case and store it for your next event.

Intuitive design process

To start creating your retractable banner, upload your design or explore our gallery of fully customizable design templates, including industry- and event-specific options. (Have a design ready to go? Use our design upload option.) Once you’ve found a design, make it yours by adding your custom details and choosing the options that work best for your retractable banner.

Honestly the sign is very flimsy and did not print that well. I only gave it 3 stars because I do like the company but this sign is very disappointing.

Print quality is good, delivery time was good. For the tallest banner, there is a lot of stress on the pole holding it up. Hopefully it'll stay sturdy and intact.

Great product,easy to use.

Vista Print worked with me to make sure everything was centered and crystal clear. This is an 82x33 retractable banner with 2 photos of people. It was critical that they were not pixilated when blown up to this size and they were just perfect.

Really difficult to set up, get someone to help you

The video makes it look easy to pull the banner canvas up. It’s actually really hard and has a lot of tension. If you don’t hook it well enough into the pole it will just fall down in a messy heap. You might get scratches on yours. I tried several times to get mine to stay. I don’t know if the scuff on my banner was there before or after. The set up video is so insane for showing one guy doing it by himself like that. Be extra careful and have someone help you!
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with your retractable banner. We're sorry to hear that the setup process was more difficult than expected and that it caused frustration. We understand how disappointing it can be when the product doesn't meet your expectations, especially if the setup felt unsafe or resulted in concerns about possible damage to the banner. Your feedback regarding the setup video is appreciated, and we'll be sure to share it with the appropriate team for review, as we understand that a demonstration with additional assistance may better reflect the setup experience for some customers. Regarding the scuff you mentioned, we'd like to take a closer look. If possible, could you please reply with a photo of the banner showing the scuff or any damage? Once we receive it, we'll be happy to review the issue with our Quality Team and determine the best resolution. We appreciate your honest feedback and look forward to assisting you further.

Frequently asked questions

Follow these 4 easy steps to get set up:

1. Case: Open your carrying case and remove the cassette and pole.

2. Cassette: Set your cassette on the ground. Turn the stabilizing foot/feet perpendicular to the cassette.

3. Pole: Connect the pole pieces and then insert into the hole in the cassette.

4: Banner: Using both hands, pull the top of the banner up from the cassette and attach it to the top of the pole.

Here are a few other tips to know before you get started:

  • Don’t try to pull the banner above the height of the pole. Doing so may damage the retracting mechanism.

  • Be careful with the edges and make sure they’re not caught up in the cassette, which could fray or scratch your design.

  • When connecting the pole pieces for the standard cassette, find the round part inside the hole and stick the pole into it to make sure the banner stands straight.

The biggest difference between these banners is the material used and the display options.

Retractable Banners: This style includes a vinyl, PVC-free vinyl or polyester fabric banner that comes preassembled with a stand and case. Multiple cassettes and sizes available.

Mesh Banners: Made of woven polyester mesh, these banners are best for outdoor and windy conditions, with included grommets and reinforced edges.

We do not recommend our retractable banners for outdoor use. See our variety of outdoor signage here.

Follow these tips to make sure your design is clear, legible and effective:

  • Use large fonts and images so people can see your text from a distance

  • Contrast your background and text colors to ensure clear readability

  • Focus on one main message that people can quickly understand

  • Ensure your design is 150+ DPI for sharp, high-quality printing

  • Keep your safety margins in mind as you design. (See our Specs & Templates tab for more details.)
