Banner display stands are a way of combining several banner stands to form a complete trade show booth. This is very easy to do and can be stunningly effective for a tiny fraction of the cost of buying a complete, modular or bespoke exhibition display.

There are a couple of important pointers to consider if you are thinking of building banner display stands for use at a trade fair or exhibition.

1. When choosing graphic panels to be combined into a back wall for your stand, you should ensure that there is a mechanism for fixing them together. There are several ways of doing this. Expand Media provide a magnetic fixing system right near the top rail at the reverse of the graphic. This ensures that you can produce an almost seamless display on your stand. Alternatively, you could go for one of the telescoping banner stand systems which can allow several banners to be fixed onto a top and bottom rail between two uprights that can be expanded to around twelve feet in width. This would enable you to have a single unit with maybe three or four individual graphics to form a back wall which could be changed very easily depending on the type of show and the venue.

2. To be combined effectively, your graphics need to have a coherent theme and style as well as a consistent printing process, fabric and general appearance. Whether you choose to have individual panels that could be ‘stand-alone’ or whether you choose to have each one printed to form just one section of the larger image or message that is visible when the banners are placed together is a matter for discussion. You need to balance the effectiveness of one very large and imposing image created from several smaller roll-up banners (or whatever you choose) against the flexibility of having several individual ones that can be interchanged to give your display a new look or used alone for other applications such as when giving presentations or to provide a point of sale display.

Banner display stands can also be used to form Island displays, by combining three stands in an outward-facing triangle or four to form a rectangle, an effective and inexpensive focal point can be created. Some frames can be configured to form ‘L’ or ‘U’ shapes and this can break up a long back wall and add interest, especially if on the peninsula part of the stand, you choose double-sided banners so that this portion can be viewed from either side. Please see our page on Roller Banner Stands for the different types available to configure in this way.
