Retractables vs.Non-retractable displays. This is a topic that comes up frequently. To make an informed decision, you need to answer the following questions:
- Will you set the display up and take it down frequently?
- Do you need to create a seamless backwall by joining multiple displays?
- How easy do you need the setup and knockdown to be?
- Do you need a display that doesn’t go to the floor?
answers:
- If you need to set the display up and take it down frequently, and you don’t need to make a seamless backwall, you should buy the retractable display. It sets up more quickly, packs up almost instantly, and protects your graphic during transit and storage.
- If you want the look of a seamless backwall, you need to choose a banner stand display that offers magnetic profile bars on the top and bottom, as well as magnetic edges applied to the graphics. Retractable displays will have a 1/2″ gap minimum between units. The Expand MediaScreen XL retractable display series has a magnetic top profile similar to their bannerstands, and do not need magnetic edge graphics. If you don’t “mind the gap”, it’s a great way to go.
- Retractable displays are easier to set up than bannerstands. If you need something for a showroom or lobby that will remain in place once you set it up, a banner stand will work well.
- If you want a display that doesn’t hit the floor, a hanging banner such as the Duo Sprint or Expand Smart Stand or will work for you. Both the top and bottom of the graphic heights are adjustable within the limits of the displays.
