Choosing Booth Displays: Standard vs Premium Retractable Banners
The pop-up retractable banner is the absolute workhorse of the trade show industry. It provides a massive eight-foot tall branding wall that rolls down into a tiny carrying case in under ten seconds. However, when placing an order, you will be asked to choose between a Standard base and a Premium base. Here is the difference.
The Standard Base
The standard retractable banner is perfect for occasional use and tight budgets.
- The Build: It features a lighter aluminum base mechanism equipped with two swing-out metal feet to keep the tall banner balanced and upright.
- Best Use Case: It is highly cost-effective and perfectly fine if you only set up a booth two or three times a year.
The Premium Upgrade
If your sales team travels constantly, the hardware needs to be significantly tougher.
- The Build: The premium version eliminates the swing-out feet entirely. Instead, it features a heavy, wide, and completely flat base that sits firmly on the floor.
- The Look: The wide base looks incredibly sleek, modern, and provides a much more luxurious, high-end presentation for corporate events.
The Raven32 Recommendation
The internal spring mechanism is the most important part of the display. As your printing and promotional experts, our advice is clear. If your sales team is opening and closing the banner every single weekend, you absolutely must upgrade to the premium base so the internal tension spring does not snap under heavy use.
