1500mm roller banners
This is the widest roller banner we supply: 1500mm, or 59.1in, just under 5ft. At this point the sensible question is whether you actually want a banner at all, or a small pop-up.
Banner or pop-up: the answer first.
Choose the 1500mm banner when you need a big single surface, set up quickly, in a place where the depth of a frame would get in the way. Choose a 3x3 pop-up if you need a true wall behind a stand, more than about 1.5m of width, or something that will be built again and again through a busy season.
| 1500mm roller | 3x3 pop-up | |
|---|---|---|
| Graphic | One continuous sheet | Several magnetic panels |
| Footprint | A long, shallow base | Deeper, especially when curved |
| Setting up | Pull up and clip | Open the frame, hang the panels |
| Transport | Long carry bag | Wheeled case |
| Best for | A photo spot or a stage side | Exhibition back walls |
Where it does its best work
A school hall stage needing a sponsor board for one evening. A photo spot at a launch. The wall behind a hotel check-in table for a conference. A shop that wants a seasonal message beside the entrance without building anything. All of these are one-surface jobs, for a short time, in a place that needs to go back to normal afterwards.
Your artwork at 3:4
On a graphic about 2000mm tall, this width gives a shape of around 3:4. That is the same proportion as a phone photo held upright, and it is the first width in the range where a picture can fill the banner without a harsh crop.
The resolution is another matter. A 3,000 x 4,000 pixel phone image, stretched to 59.1in wide, gives about 51 pixels per inch. Viewed from three or four metres it may pass; close up it will not. For a photograph that people will stand next to, it is worth checking the file before you design around it.
The practical bit people forget
- The bag. Expect it to run to around 1.6m. That is more than many hatchbacks can take across, and may be awkward in a taxi. Measure before you book anything.
- The lift. A long top bar needs a person at each end, or it can twist as it rises and scuff the print.
- The stairs. A long stiff base does not turn tight corners. Ask about lifts at the venue.
- The air. A big sheet acts as a sail. Avoid fire doors, air conditioning outlets and anywhere with a through draught. Do not use it in open air without asking us.
- The floor. Uneven paving or a thick carpet can leave it leaning. Test it before guests arrive.
Asking for a quote
Wide banners are priced to order, and come with a carry bag. If a single stand is not enough, or you are unsure which route fits, our roller banner or pop-up guide looks at the wider picture, and you can always send us a photo of the space.
Big single surfaces.
Your questions.
Can I join two 1500mm banners to make a wall?
You can stand them side by side, though you will always see a gap between them. Over about 2m of width, a pop-up usually gives a neater result.
Is a 1500mm banner stable?
It has a wider base to match, but it also has much more surface for moving air. Keep it on a level floor, indoors, and away from draughts and busy doors.
Can a replacement graphic go on a wide stand?
Often, yes, if the stand is in good condition. Tell us the make and width so that we can check.
