Banner Stands are your best choice for a simple and cost-effective display for your trade show booth. These versatile retractable banners are available in a variety of sizes and can be set up and taken down in a matter of minutes.

As you can imagine, today's technology is growing rapidly as more information travels the digital highway than any other highway in the world! Here at Post-up Stand, we like to make sure we are in the fast lane. By providing two different ways for the customer to get us their artwork, we can accomplish many things, including how to keep the production process moving forward, cut down on wait time for the customer, and provide artwork analysis in just minutes.

Not everybody is able to keep up with the technology and the computing business, so by taking a few minutes to read over this section may just save many long hours of precious time. Here are a few things to remember when sending artwork to us, so we can avoid these problems and get your order underway ASAP:

1. If you're using a MAC computer, make sure your art is CMYK. After doing so, save your artwork to the actual size of the banner (24x80, 33x80, 39x80, etc.) as a JPEG file. Cross-platform computing happens all too often, where colors don’t match from one computer to the next due to a file from a MAC computer being used on a PC. So once you have saved the file, send it to us at www.yousendit.com. The directions on how to get there can be found on the website under "How to Order." Once you start uploading the file, the time it takes will vary based on file size.

2. If you're using a PC computer, the first thing you will want to do is make sure your art is in CMYK. Be sure to save your artwork to actual size (24x80, 33x80, 39x80, etc.) as a JPEG file. Then you will use our FTP site to transfer your files. (An FTP or File Transfer Protocol is used to transfer data from one computer to another over the Internet, or through a network). One of the most common problems we face with the FTP is that you have to use a PC computer and you must use Internet Explorer. No other web browsers will let you use the FTP properly.

If you have any issues sending files to us, always feel free to call us and somebody will gladly help you.

C.R.A.P. Design Principles, and other Tips for Creating Eye-Catching Banner Graphics

2007-04-05T08:58:00.000-05:00

Banner displays with eye-catching graphics can be an excellent way to promote your business or organization. Here are a few tips for creating an aesthetically pleasing and bold display to catches your audiences’ eyes:

Banner graphics need to be large and strong to make an impact. Hard-to-read fonts, small text, or weak images won't grab anyone's attention.

C.R.A.P. design principles – the four golden rules of graphic design – Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, Proximity.

Use the Rule of Thirds – Don’t place your graphic smack-dab in the center of your banner. Create a natural eye-flow by placing key graphics off-center, but not too close to each other.

Placing the most important graphical element and message at standing eye level.

Create and maintain a consistent look and message to go along with your brand other marketing collateral.

Less is more. Keep your message simple. Your banner graphic needs to convey an easy-to-read message at a quick glance from a distance.

Make sure your images are placed in a well-lit area. Avoid any direct light that might produce a glare off of a laminated banner.

Images that strike an emotional connection will increase the likelihood that your message will relate to that person and stick in his or her mind.

What Type of Banner Display Do You Need?

2007-03-15T09:31:00.000-05:00

Banner displays can be a versatile and affordable marketing tool for trade shows, business lobbies, restaurants, or point-of-purchase displays. You just simply determine your space requirements, choose the style and compare prices to find the best display for your needs.

Something to consider: portability and ease of setting up your banner. A lightweight setup is likely to be less expensive to purchase and ship than a heavier one. A banner stand that doesn't require tools to set it up is also a more economical and practical choice.

Table Top Display
Choose table top displays for portable advertising solutions. These popular display pieces feature durable construction and slim-line styling for a fantastic visual appeal and ease of use.

Retractable Banner Stand Displays
Looking for something portable and easy-to-use? Try a retractable banner display, which offers easy transport, storage and setup. Just unroll the graphic display and your banner is ready to go – all in less than one minute!

Scrolling Banner Display
Motorized scrolling banners can capture your target audience in medium to high-traffic venues. If you’re on a budget but need something to attract attention at trade shows, restaurants, or retail outlets, the scrolling banner displays are a great option.

Looking to save costs at your next trade show? Consider a battery-powered scrolling banner to reduce costly trade show electrical outlet usage. The rechargeable battery works continually for 72 hours!

Horizontal Banner Displays
Sometimes a vertical banner display doesn’t display your message effectively. In that case, consider a horizontal banner display. We have options for your next show.

Double Sided Banner Stand Displays
Double-sided banner displays are a good choice if your display needs to be visible from more than one angle. Naturally, a double-sided banner stand needs more than one banner graphic, but the added graphical impact can justify that expense.

Poster Stand Display
Do you need your message to display indoors AND outdoors? Display your message with crisp images on an indoor / outdoor poster stand – a simple and fast way to communicate. Made with a sturdy aluminum exterior, A-frame poster stands offer an easy way to change your display image for a polished, professional look.

Let Post-Up Stand Help You!
We offer a one-stop shop for anyone trying to market their product with a quality, visual display. Whether you’re looking for a large scrolling banner for a trade show or table top display for a retail store, we have the options to suit your needs. Email us or give us a call today!
