Retractable Banner Sizes: Which Width and Height to Pick

For anyone ordering a pull-up banner for a trade show, a lobby, a store or an event.

A Printabotic standard retractable banner stand

Short answer: 33 x 81 in is the most common retractable banner size, and the one to start with for most booths and lobbies. Go smaller when space is tight, wider when one banner looks small against the back wall.

We print every one of them, and our designers make the artwork for you. Here's how to choose, in plain words.

Standard Retractable Sizes

Our Standard Retractable Banner, from $149:

  • Small: 23 x 66 in
  • Medium: 24 x 81 in
  • Large: 33 x 81 in, also with a black stand
  • X-Large: 47 x 81 in

Each one pulls up from its base in seconds, rolls back in for storage and travel, and comes with a travel bag. Need a new print later? Every size also comes as the print only.

Wide Retractable Banners

The Wide Retractable Banner, from $189, carries a graphic 36 or 48 in across and 69, 80 or 92 in tall, or 60 in across and 69 or 80 in tall, for a trade show wall, a store entrance or a stage backdrop.

A Step Up: the Deluxe

The Deluxe Retractable Banner, from $189, is 33 x 81 in, single or double sided, with chrome endcaps and an adjustable height pole. The graphic slides out, so a new print goes in without replacing the stand.

For the Table Itself

The Table Top Banner Stand, 11.5 x 17.5 in, from $100, stands on the table next to you.

Where to Keep Your Text

On the Standard Retractable, keep text and logos at least 1 in from the top and 3 in from the bottom of the print, so every part of the design shows.

Two or Three Side by Side

In a 10 x 10 booth, two or three Large banners side by side make a back wall. The Retractable Trio is three of them, $288.80, $188.20 less than buying the same pieces separately.

We'll Design It for You

Design is free when we print it. Send us your logo or just your name, and we design the banner.

What to send us: whatever you have. A logo file, a photo of your old sign, your colors, a two-line idea or a napkin sketch all work. If all you know is what it should say, that's enough. We take care of the layout, colors and fonts. No logo yet? Our designers can create one, along with your brand colors and fonts, free when we print your order. Need design only, or something we don't sell? We send a clear quote before any work starts.

Want to try it yourself? The retractable banners can be designed in our online design editor on a computer, with a live 3D preview.

Either way, someone on our team checks the file before anything is printed, and you get a proof to approve. Once you approve, your order ships in 1-2 business days and usually arrives 2-5 business days later. Ground shipping is free in the lower 48.
