Sometimes, bigger is better. XL roller banners (extra-large) are designed for those moments when you need more space to showcase your message. These banners go beyond the standard widths (often 800mm or 850mm) and give you a much broader canvas. If you've ever felt that a regular pull up banner is just a bit too small for your vision, an XL banner is the perfect solution. They offer all the convenience of a pull up banner – quick setup, portability, reusability – but with a size that ensures you stand out in any crowd. And because they're part of our Pull Up Roller Banners range, you still get the same easy setup and portability as with the standard models.

What Counts as an XL Roller Banner?

There isn't one single size that defines an "XL" banner; instead, the term covers a range of wider options. At Best at Printing, our extra-large pull up banners come in several widths and configurations:

• 1000mm (1m) Wide Banners - A step up from the usual width, giving you extra room for imagery and text without being too oversized. Ideal if you have a bit more to say or want larger visuals.
• 1200mm Wide Banners - A popular choice for those who need more impact. 1.2m wide banners strike a balance – noticeably wider than standard, yet still easy to handle alone.
• 1500mm Wide Roller Banners - Truly commanding attention, a banner that is one and a half metres wide becomes a focal point of any display. It's great for larger expo booths or retail spaces where you want to fill a wall section with advertising.
• 2000mm (2m) x 2000mm Banners - The maximum in our range, these create a huge impression. A 2m x 2m banner is almost like a portable backdrop. It's the go-to choice when you have a big area to cover or want to create a photo wall.

All our XL banners stand around 2m tall (just over 6.5 feet), which is the typical height for pull up banners. This means no matter which width you choose, your display will tower at an impressive height, ensuring visibility over crowds and across rooms.

Benefits of Choosing an XL Banner

Why opt for an extra-large banner over a standard one? Here are a few key benefits:

• Maximum Visibility - In busy events like trade shows, you might only have a second to catch someone's eye. The larger the banner, the more likely people will notice it from afar. An XL banner rises above the noise (literally and figuratively) and can be seen from across an exhibition hall.
• More Design Space - Extra width gives your graphic designers more room to be creative. Whether you want to showcase a panoramic product image, a detailed chart, or a bold slogan alongside your logo, you won't feel as constrained. You can avoid cramming information – everything can breathe on the banner.
• Stronger Visual Impact - A bank of XL roller banners side by side can transform a space. For instance, lining up two or three wide banners can create a semi-enclosed branded area or a striking backdrop for a stage or demo area. It's a modular way to build a larger branded presence.
• Versatile Usage - Many of our clients find that after using an XL banner for a major event, they continue to use it in various ways – in showrooms, lobbies, or even as a backdrop for press photos. The investment goes a long way since the banner remains useful beyond just the big event.

Practical Considerations (Setup and Portability)

One might think a bigger banner means a complicated setup, but that's thankfully not the case. Setting up an XL roller banner is very similar to any standard pull up banner:

1. Assemble the Pole - XL banners often come with a foldable or telescopic pole (or sometimes two poles for the widest banners for extra support). Put the pole pieces together and secure it in the base.
2. Pull Up the Banner - Just like with smaller versions, gently pull the graphic panel up from the base. With wider banners, take it slow and steady – the mechanism is built to handle the width, but you want to guide it evenly.
3. Secure the Top - Attach the top rail of the banner to the pole(s). Some extra-wide models might have two poles; make sure the top is hooked onto both for stability.
4. Position the Feet (if any) - Many banner stands have swing-out feet for balance. On wide banners, these feet may be longer to provide more stability. Ensure they're fully extended.
5. Double-Check Stability - Step back and see that the banner is standing straight. Wide banners are very stable when properly set up. If it's a particularly wide one (like 1.5m or 2m), having a colleague assist during setup can be helpful to keep things aligned.

In terms of portability, XL banners are designed with transport in mind:

• When retracted, the banner rolls into the base cassette, which, while longer than a standard banner base, is still reasonably compact. It will come with a padded carry bag with straps, making it possible to carry to events or load into a car.
• The weight will be slightly more than a small banner due to the larger base and possibly an extra pole. However, it's still light enough for one person to carry. For example, a 1500mm wide banner stand might weigh around 6-8 kg (just an estimate) compared to 4-5 kg for a regular one.
• If flying or shipping your banner, the carry case protects it well. We recommend keeping the original cardboard box that comes with it for added protection in transit.
