Why does Mediapoint use only a satin polypropylene for its retractable banners?

• Satin polypropylene has a reputation for not bowing or curling, unlike vinyl
• The satin material reflects less light than vinyl, making text easier to read in displays featuring lots of light

Why is premium-grade sihl polypropylene material better than the generic polypropylene?
The generic polypropylene is a cheaper material that we have found to be fine for a few uses. The premium-grade sihl polypropylene is better for sustained use as it excels in the following ways:

• It is more tear resistant yet only 0.7 mm thick
• It has a stronger, water-resistant coating so moisture does not affect the print as it would with other materials
• It offers a photo-realistic look and the smoothest finish
• We tested a Deluxe stand for nearly 2 years of frequent use and found that the print did not bow or curl nearly as much as prints made from inferior materials.

Why does Mediapoint use only a satin polypropylene for its retractable banners?

• Bowing and curling make your stand look terrible, old and cheap, and we strive to avoid this in our retractable banner printing. Laminating retractor prints introduces tension and causes the prints to bow and curl very quickly
• The material we use is highly tear and water resistant, making lamination unnecessary

Why does Mediapoint not offer lamination of its polypropylene prints?

• Bowing and curling make your stand look terrible, old and cheap, and we strive to avoid this in our retractable banner printing. Laminating retractor prints introduces tension and causes the prints to bow and curl very quickly
• The material we use is highly tear and water resistant, making lamination unnecessary

What are the main differences between the three Retractable Banners Stands Mediapoint offers?
The main differences between the stands we offer are:

• Budget Retractable Banner: The budget retractable banner uses the same stand as the Economy Retractor but has a generic Asian polypropylene for the print film
• Economy Retractable Banner: Uses a high quality polypropylene from Switzerland which sits flatter and prints better than the budget stand
• Deluxe Retractable Banner: Uses the same material as the Economy stand but has a bigger and more heavy duty stand which is easier to setup and take down

Which Retractable Banner Stand should I order?
Depending on your situation, the following retractable banners would be ideal for:

• Budget Retractable Banner: For short term promotions or occasions such as one off events
• Economy Retractable Banner: For more frequent use but have a smaller space to work with
• Deluxe Retractable Banner: For daily use over many years

What is the quality of the Budget Retractable like?
This is a common question as it is our cheapest stand. The main noticeable difference of this stand over the others is that:

• When printing some solid colours such as black and blue there may be some minor striping due to the material and not the printing process, this is only visible from some angles or really close up
• The material as it is a little thicker tends to curl quicker than our higher quality material

How does Mediapoint turn around Retractable Banner Stands so fast?
We have stands in stock and we handle of our printing and finishing in house. We do not outsource this like other companies so we can produce your order as fast as possible.

What are the other names for Retractable Banners?
Retractable banners have a number of different names such as:

• Roll Up Banners
• Pull Up Banners
• Retractors
• Pop Up Banner

What comes with a Retractable Banner?
With your retractable banner it will come with:

• A print mounted into the stand as long as you give us artwork
• A carry bag for transporting the stand

Will a retractable banner fit in my car and is it easy to transport?
A retractable banner closes up into the stand and fits into a carry bag which comes with the stand. It usually measures 1 meter long and 15cm high and wide. It only weight 5 kilograms and is meant to be easy to carry with one hand or on your shoulder.
