Silver base or black base?

Functionally they are identical — same banner, same mechanism, same size. The choice is purely visual. Silver reads as neutral and slightly technical, and blends into light-colored booths and exhibition carpet. Black recedes almost completely against dark surroundings, which is why conference stages, dark-themed booths, restaurants and event venues generally specify it. If your banners will sit alongside other black display hardware, black keeps the whole setup looking intentional.

Getting the layout right

Treat the banner as three bands. The top third carries the logo and headline and is the only part visible over a standing crowd. The middle third holds your three or four supporting lines, read by someone who has stopped at your booth. The bottom foot is regularly hidden by furniture and people — keep contact details and QR codes above that line, ideally at chest height where a phone camera can reach them easily.

Supply artwork at 33" x 81", 100–150 DPI, CMYK, with 2" of additional image at the bottom to be taken up by the cassette and 2" of safe margin at each side.

Looking after a retractable banner

Always retract it slowly — letting the spring snap the banner back is the most common cause of a crooked or creased rewind. Carry it in the supplied bag rather than loose in a vehicle, and store it upright. If the graphic gets marked, wipe with a barely damp cloth; solvents will lift the print.
