Retractable Banners
Our popular retractable banners are constructed of 13 oz vinyl or 9 oz polyester and have a solid metal base that allows them to rise and retract smoothly. A complimentary carrying case is supplied with every retractable banner. Standard, premium, and deluxe versions come in a range of sizes to ensure that we have the proper size and fit for all of your trade fair, event, and promotional needs.
Your graphic and messaging can be printed on 13 oz. vinyl or 9 oz. polyester fabric, and our premium and deluxe retractable banners come with an adjustable pole so you can change the size of your display (standard banners include a non-adjustable pole). LED display lights are also available to accent your display. Your next trade fair or event will be your best yet thanks to the retractable banners’ durability, portability, and ease of usage, as well as the professional grade printing.
How to care for your retractable banners
If you set up and take down your retractable banner correctly, it will require little to no ongoing care and maintenance. Retracting the banner into the metal base between usage protects the material (fabric or vinyl) from damage. Additionally, protecting your stand, pole, and light by storing them in the padded case between uses should help prevent damage. As explained in our FAQ section, stains can be wiped away with a wet cloth (vinyl and fabric) or cleaned in rare circumstances (fabric only).
When putting up and pulling down your retractable banner, always exercise caution. Slowly remove the graphic off the base and replace it, keeping it centered on the base. It is not suggested to allow the image to quickly retract or snap back into the base, whether centered or uncentered. If you do so, your graphic and/or base may be permanently ruined. Carefully secure the rod to the graphic’s base and top. Mishandling or mistreating the pole could cause irrevocable damage to the banner, rendering it ineffective.

This is fantastic! I’ve been looking for a place to print retractable banners for a reasonable price because I can’t afford to spend too much money, especially for my first artist alley. I found Printing New York.com after a short google search. I’m delighted I came across this location. I placed an order for two custom-sized banners and informed my coworker the next day, since he required banners for our next conference as well. This is a firm that I will definitely order from and strongly suggest. I like that you can select the turnaround time, 1 or 2 day shipping, and they will give you an estimate of when your item will arrive. That feature is quite useful. Thank you so much.

I was apprehensive because this was my first time making sports banners for a customer. However, the website was really user-friendly, and my image printed precisely as it seemed. The print quality was outstanding, as were the materials. In addition, the price was ideal. I’ll return!

For a celebration of life event for my brother, we purchased two deluxe retractable banners. Because the photo resolution was never designed for huge print, I was a little worried about the quality we’d get. The banners turned out beautifully; the attention to detail was incredible, and the overall quality of the work was fantastic. The stage layout for our celebration was truly linked together by these two banners, and they gave us exactly what we needed – a larger-than-life appearance to reflect my brother’s unique existence. I will absolutely use these guys again for any future banner needs – they do amazing work and deliver the product quickly. Recommendation: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I’ve been utilizing Printing New York for my modest one-time work for years. One of my coworkers requested a last-minute rush project, so I completed it. The artwork was submitted, but there was a problem with the proofs. The issue was rectified the next day, however the production timetable had slipped, and the retractable banners were dispatched with an ETA after my event. I instantly contacted them, and while there was nothing they could do about the previous shipment, they produced another half set for me and delivered them overnight. I keep coming back to them because of their great commitment to getting things right for the customer. Printing New York deserves a lot of credit.
