BANNER STANDS AND BANNERS

Banner Stands

Banner stands have caught on like wildfire and for good reason. They allow you to fill a small, empty space with a large, free-standing display in just minutes. Banner stands are used at trade shows, product demonstrations and media events. You’ll see them in retail stores, office lobbies and restaurants. The two basic types, retractable banner stands and flex frame banner stands, can be used as either portable or stationary displays. At gawck in Toronto, we've tested dozens of different stands and materials in order to provide you with an offering that can’t be beat.

Retractable Banner Stands

A retractable banner stand is comprised of a graphic banner attached to a spring-loaded roller mounted inside an aluminum base. When in use, the banner extends out from the base and is secured to an integrated pole. When not in use the banner retracts into the base, protecting the graphic and making it easy to transport. Also called a ‘roll-up’ or ‘pull-up’ banner stand, the retractable style is the quickest type to set-up and the one most people think of when they hear the term ‘banner stand.’ 

gawck retractable plus™

The gawck retractable plus is a premium banner stand without the premium price. To ensure that your artwork and message stand out, we use a unique material made specifically for banner stands. It has a rich satin finish, doesn't sag or curl, and contains gawck block™ to eliminate light from washing out your artwork from behind. Available in silver or black, the stand has a low profile base that eliminates the need for a stabilizing pivot foot. If you want to change your artwork in the future, we can even print and install a new graphic into the stand to save you the cost of new hardware. This banner stand sets up in seconds and comes with a premium padded nylon transport bag, instruction sheet and a one-year hardware warranty. With a graphic that is six inches taller than a standard-sized banner stand, the gawck retractable plus stands at 7’ 2” in height when in use.

Flex Frame Banner Stands

Flex frame banner stands are comprised of a graphic banner attached to one or more support arms and a solid base. The support arms flex, holding the banner upright and secure. Also called tension banner stands, L banner stands or X banner stands, a major benefit of the flex frame is that the banner can be switched out by you, allowing for frequent updates or multiple versions of your artwork.

gawck L™

The gawck L banner stand is our most popular flex frame and a great alternative to a retractable when being used as a stationary display. As with all gawck L stands, your graphic extends right to the floor, keeping the focus on your message and not the frame. To ensure that your artwork and message stand out, we use a unique material made specifically for banner stands. It has a rich satin finish, doesn’t sag or curl, and contains gawck block™ to eliminate light from washing out your artwork from behind. The stand itself has low profile rails on the top and bottom which clamp onto the banner. A weighted rear foot and tension pole keep the graphic upright and secure. A major benefit of all flex frame banner stands is the ability to change the graphic yourself, allowing for multiple versions or future changes. This banner stand sets up in under five minutes. It includes a nylon transport bag with built-in graphic tube to protect your artwork, an instruction sheet and a one-year hardware warranty. The gawck L stands at 6’ 8” in height when in use. 

Banner size: 33” w x 78” h
Assembled dimensions including stand: 33.5” w x 80” h (6’ 8” tall) 
Usage: Primarily used for portable or stationary indoor displays. Also suitable for short term outdoor events when protected from the elements.
