Though we do not encourage putting the X-Stand banner outside, if you do, the quality of the design on the banner will deteriorate with time if it is exposed to direct sunlight. However, an apparent harmful influence from sunshine would necessitate a long time of exposure to direct sunlight. The printed banner will not be damaged by sunlight in normal day-to-day use when the banner is set up and taken down.

Weather extremes, such as strong winds or rain, might damage the banner and stand. It is not suitable for outdoor display because to its lightweight structure.

What is the difference between the X-Stand banner and your retractable banner?

Despite their similarity in aim and portability, there are some peculiarities that distinguish these two banners. The X-Stand banner is stable on the ground since it folds out and is supported by three legs. Because of this feature, it takes up a little more floor area. The retractable banner is made up of a single metal base into which the banner rolls up and takes up very little floor space when erected.

The banner sizes available for each product vary as well. In comparison to the retractable banner, you will be able to produce smaller sizes with the X-Stand. The retractable banner is the tallest of the two, standing at 88″ tall.

The X-Stand and Retractable banners are both portable and effective banners that may be used for events, conferences, presentations, and even point-of-purchase advertising. When compared to the X-Stand banner, the retractable banner will most likely be a little more robust due to the base structure, but it will also be more expensive. When it comes to picking between these identical products, many people just have a preference.

When storing the folded banner, don’t put anything on top of it. The banner should be put in regions where it will not be bumped or knocked down when it is set up. It’s likely that dust or dirt will collect in the regions where the parts collapse on the stand. To clean certain spots, use water and a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Surface dirt on the banner can also be removed with water and a moist cloth.

What is the best way to set up my X-Stand banner?

The X-Stand banner is as simple to set up as a folding chair. The stand will be made up of three parts: a stand and two poles. Simply unfold the stand as if it were an A-Frame sign. Place each pole into its own hole at the top of the stand once it has been set up. There’s no need to screw or twist the poles together; they just stick together with friction. Begin attaching the banner to the stand from the top. The grommets will easily fit over the pole hooks. Locate the adjustable hooks on the banner’s legs as you move to the bottom of the banner. Pull each attached hook down to straighten the banner out after inserting the hooks in the bottom grommets. Twist the moveable piece at the top of each hook in a clockwise manner to tighten it. This will give your banner a clean appearance when it is shown.
