What makes Polypropylene curl?

Since we print on the Polypropylene with dye ink the print must be laminated to prevent any damage. The laminated causes the print to curl due to stretching. We suggest to print on Indoor Curl Resistant Poster, UV Curl Resistant Block-out Poster or Fabric to avoid this from happening.

UV Curl Resistant Block-out Poster.

We can shorten the pole to customize the height. Please contact our Customer Service Team for further details.

In the artwork specifications, why is the print width 10mm, shorter than the actual base width?

To minimise the edges of the banner being damaged from rolling in and out of the base.we have to make the print 10mm shorter to fit into the frame,

The reason for bleed at the top and bottom of the banner?

We require extra bleed (print) so that banner can be attached to the top bar. We also allow for extra bleed at the bottom of the banner to attach it to the base mechanism.

Special artwork requirement for fabric pull up the banner?

If you place any critical information in the area 100mm above the base.it will not be visible when the banner is extended.

Pull Up Banners Design
We have found that there are just a few simple things you need to consider when designing your artwork for this great product.

Firstly be careful with colours. Limit the colours you use and try to use colours which match will achieve the effect you need. A light colour on a dark background always stands out well and vice versa.

Secondly, limit the number of images you are using. Most of the time it is better to use one bigger image as opposed to a bunch of smaller images. This will create a focal point on your banner. With smaller images your eye can get lost with all of the information.

Thirdly and probably the most important point is to get your point across concisely. People do not stand and read a retractable banner. They take 2 or 3 seconds to have a look at it. So what is your call to action? If you are talking about a product, keep it to very short points and use images where possible. Slabs of text should be kept to the promotional material you hand out.

The final point to a great pull up banner design is to know where to layout everything. Your eye will start from the top of a pull-up banners and start going down. So it is important to put your important information in the right spot (preferably the higher, the better).
