Same-day and overnight courier delivery is available across London, with frequent deliveries to the City, West End, Canary Wharf and Central London.
Roller banner, pull up banner or roll up banner: three names, one product, and the prices, sizes and turnaround on this page apply to all of them. “Pop up banner” usually means the same cassette stand, but the term is also used for fabric pop-up display walls, which are a different system.
Every job is quoted on its specification. Send us yours and we will come back with a firm figure.
| Stand width | Print size | Supplied with |
|---|---|---|
| 850 mm (standard) | 85 × 200 cm | Cassette, pole and padded carry bag |
| 1000 mm | 100 × 200 cm | Cassette, pole and padded carry bag |
| 1200 mm | 120 × 200 cm | Cassette, pole and padded carry bag |
| 1500 mm | 150 × 200 cm | Cassette, pole and padded carry bag |
Roller banner, pull up banner, roll up banner or pop up banner?
The first three are the same thing. A roller banner is a printed graphic on a spring-loaded aluminium cassette: you pull the print up, hook it on the pole, and it rolls back into the base when you pack down. Marketing teams tend to call the same stand a pull up banner; customers who have bought from overseas suppliers say roll up banner. Roller banner printing, pull up banner printing and roll up banner printing therefore mean one job here: a 440 gsm grey-back PVC graphic, printed and trimmed, fitted to a cassette stand with a pole and a padded carry bag, in 850, 1000, 1200 or 1500 mm widths, produced the same day from our own 24-hour facility.
Pop up banner is the ambiguous one. Most people who ask for a pop up banner mean this cassette stand and are quoted from the price list above. The same words are also used for fabric tension display walls that pop open on a folding frame, which is a different product with a different price: see pop-up stand printing, and for the full comparison, roll-up vs pull-up vs roller banner. If in doubt, send a photo of what you have in mind and we will tell you which one it is.
Artwork specifications
Bleed, safe margins, colour, resolution, file format
| Requirement | What we need | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bleed | 5–10 mm on every edge | |
| Safe margin | Text and logos 5 mm inside the trim | The artwork itself prints full bleed to the finished edge. It is only type and logos that need the clearance. Where you supply bleed, measure the 5 mm from the trim line, not from the edge of the bleed. |
| Colour mode | CMYK, not RGB | Bright RGB blues and greens sit outside the CMYK gamut and print duller than they look on screen. Send Pantone references for brand colours. |
| Resolution at final size | 30 dpi at the finished size is enough | Measured on the printed piece, not in the file. A file built at 1:10 and 300 dpi gives exactly that, and it is genuinely fine on something read from five metres. Vector and live type carry no resolution at all and scale without loss. |
| File format | PDF preferred — but send what you have | We accept virtually any artwork format and check every file in-house before production. If anything needs adjusting we will tell you immediately, before we print. |
| Fonts | Outlined | Outlined removes any font substitution risk on an overnight job. |
| Images | Embedded in the PDF | Linked images that did not travel with the file are a common cause of a job stalling. |
| Transparency | Supported — no need to flatten | Flattening by hand often causes the white boxes and colour shifts it was meant to avoid. |
Extend the artwork below the finished height. The cassette hides none of your design — the whole graphic stays visible. But the bottom of the print wraps around the roller inside the base, and if there is nothing there to wrap, the white fixing tape shows above the base once the banner is up.
Add 20–50 mm below the finished height. For a 2000 mm banner, supply the artwork at 2020–2050 mm. Keep that strip clear of anything you need to read — it is there to be rolled under, not looked at.
Before you upload
- Export a print-ready PDF, vector wherever possible
- Convert fonts to outlines
- Extend backgrounds into the bleed
- Keep important content inside the safe margin
- Check the resolution at the finished size, not in the file
- Check the page size matches the finished size, or state the scale you built at
Send the file even where there is doubt about it. We check bleed, resolution, embedded fonts and page size before anything goes on press, and where a fix is small it is usually just done. A two-minute reply at 9pm is faster than a re-export at 7am.
What turns a same-day job into a next-day one is almost never the printing. It is a question that has to go back to you and sit unanswered — artwork built at the wrong finished size, a logo supplied at screen resolution, or type running off the trim with no bleed behind it. Getting the six points above right removes nearly every one of those.
Why the grey-back material matters under exhibition lights
Also known as Pull Up Banners or Pop Up Stands, these are the ultimate portable display for exhibitions, trade shows and conferences, custom printed to your artwork. We are the emergency supplier for ExCeL London and Olympia, producing replacement banners for exhibitors who have been let down by other printers; for City conferences the drop is more often to a hotel or office near Liverpool Street than to a hall. We use a premium "Stay Flat" grey-back material that prevents the edges from curling under bright exhibition lights.
Each banner comes pre-fitted into a sturdy aluminium base with a swing-out foot for stability and includes a padded carry case. They are lightweight enough to carry on the Tube but large enough (850mm x 2000mm) to make a huge impact. We print and assemble these in-house 24/7.
Q&A
Can you deliver a roller banner to ExCeL today?
Yes. We are the emergency printer for ExCeL London. Order by noon, and we can deliver to your stand the same afternoon.
Is the banner re-usable?
The mechanism is retractable and durable. You can use it for multiple events. We also sell replacement graphics if you change your branding.
How heavy is it to carry?
Our standard 850mm wide banner weighs approx 3kg and comes with a shoulder-strap bag, making it easy to take on the Tube or train.
Do you offer double-sided roller banners?
Yes. We have double-sided bases available so you can display graphics to foot traffic coming from both directions.
