TEXStyle Banner Stands with Fabric Graphics

New TEXStyle banner stands with stretch fabric graphics offer a totally unique display solution when compared to traditional roller banner stands.

The fabric 'skin' used on these displays is printed onto highly elastic fabric using a process of printing known as dye sublimation. Dye sublimation printing onto fabric involves printing the ink and then subjecting the fabric to temperatures in excess of 180 degrees which effectively 'fixes' the ink into the fabric.

Due to the process of printing used, fabric graphics for these types of display can be folded up for convenient transport and even machine washed should they become marked or dirty during use.

Aside from the unique appearance that stretch fabric graphics allow, another major benefit with these banner stands is that the prints are not hard-wired to the framework itself. In other words, the graphics can be removed and replaced at will and without the need for purchasing a new display frame.

For exhibitors looking for new, innovative banner stand displays the TEXStyle range of stands from www.printdesigns.com offer a great and distinctive alternative to existing market offerings.


In the example above we see a TEXStyle Swirl Banner Stand produced for Samsung. The display has a far more upmarket, unique look when compared to conventional roller banners.



The number of suppliers who produce banner stands using stretch fabric graphics is quite limited. This is primarily down to the specialist printing equipment that is required and the skills needed to finish (sew) the fabric graphics into completed products. We do expect that in the coming Months and Years that more companies will consider using these types of displays due to the number of benefits they offer.

Banner Stands with a Replaceable Cassette

It's possible to change the printed graphic on almost any roller banner stand but doing so is usually a fiddly process especially if you don't know what you are doing.

Many graphics companies will happily remove and replace the printed banner on your stand if you return the old unit but the process of returning old stands takes time and of course costs money.

Replaceable banner stands allow you to simply lift out the old printed banner cassette and simply drop-in a new one in a matter of seconds. The ability to update graphics as and when required is of great benefit to those customers who want to swap and change between a 'library' of designs that they may build on over time.

The drawbacks of removable cassette banner stands....

Many supplier advertise replaceable cassette systems as a cost saving product whereas this is not the case!

Replaceable cassette banner stands are generally rather more substantial than typical budget / economy roller banners and so are a greater investment to begin with. Likewise, the costs of purchasing a new roller mechanism and print for these stands can also be greater when compared to purchasing a complete economy stand with print.

The Rollbat banner stand from Printdesigns features a good quality, robust base mechanism that is ideal for use is high traffic environments such as busy retail or exhibition spaces. The base itself is more aesthetically-pleasing than most budget type systems having a wide base that negates the need for twist-out stablising feet that are found on budget products.



At only £50 ex vat for a new replacement banner stand graphic, pre-loaded onto a cassette, these stands are not quite as cheap when compared to a complete 'throw away' stand but for those customers looking for an upmarket banner stand at a sensible price, it's a great option.
