Banner Stand Design

A roller banner is read top-to-bottom from a distance, so we design it that way. The brand and headline go at the top, where they clear the heads of a crowd. The core message sits in the middle, at standing-eye level. The lower third stays clean, because in a real room it’s often blocked by a table, a desk or the people in front of it. We build every banner around that vertical reading order, as original artwork to print specification rather than a stretched flyer, so it works as a physical object in a space — not just as a file on screen.

Your order includes professional banner stand layout and artwork prepared for the size you choose, from a standard 800mm pull-up to a wide 1200mm stand. Final files are supplied as print-ready PDFs at full scale and the correct resolution for large-format printing, with the bleed and safe-area your print/finishing supplier needs. Two revision rounds are included, so you can review the proof and refine it before approval, and your finished files stay in your portal to re-download whenever you reprint or need the banner re-skinned.

The best banner stands share a few things. A strong top third — brand and headline placed high, where they read over a crowd. A single clear message — a banner crammed with paragraphs gets ignored; one idea lands. Standing-eye-level focus — the most important content sits where people naturally look. A clean lower third — keep the bottom simple, as it’s often hidden behind furniture or footfall. And built for scale — bold type, high-resolution images and real print colour so it’s crisp at two metres, not just on a laptop. We design to these by default, so your banner earns its spot in a busy room.

We design to every standard UK roller banner size. The 800 × 2000mm pull-up is the everyday standard — ideal for receptions, shop floors and smaller stands. 850 × 2000mm gives a fraction more width for busier layouts. 1000 × 2000mm is a wider presence for exhibitions and larger spaces. 1200 × 2000mm is maximum impact for a statement stand or a focal display. The artwork is built at full scale for your chosen hardware, so it fits the cassette and prints sharp. Not sure which size suits your space or stand? Tell us where it’s going and we’ll advise.

Large format is unforgiving — a logo or photo that looks fine on screen can turn soft once it’s printed a metre wide. We build banner artwork at full scale and the right resolution from the start, so the finished file prints crisp at standing height. If you’re supplying images or a logo, we’ll tell you early whether they’re high enough resolution for the size, and our basic image clean-up add-on can sharpen or tidy artwork that isn’t quite print-ready. The goal is simple: it should look as good on the stand as it does in the proof.

Getting a banner moving is straightforward. Tell us the size and the hardware you’re using, where it’ll be displayed, and the one thing it most needs to say. Send your logo, brand colours, any images and the wording you’d like included; if your images aren’t high enough resolution for large format, we’ll flag it before we start. Not sure what to lead with? Give us the brief in plain terms and we’ll steer the layout and hierarchy. You don’t need everything ready to order — you can add detail in your portal afterwards.
