An X-banner is the simplest way to get a printed graphic standing on a floor: a light X-shaped frame that clips into four eyelets in the corners of the print. It folds flat, weighs under a kilo, and fits in a shoulder bag.
Travelling light. One person can carry three of them on a train. A roll up cassette cannot do that.
Cheap repeats. The graphic is a flat printed sheet with four eyelets, so a new one costs very little and the frame is reused indefinitely.
Quick setup. Under a minute, no mechanism to jam.
Stability. There is no weighted base — the frame’s own geometry holds it up, and a light X-banner will move in a draught or if someone brushes it. Outdoors it needs weighting or it will not stay put. It also has a visible frame on the printed face, and the graphic is under slight tension, so a very precise layout can look marginally stretched.
If the stand sits in one place for a season, a roll up is the better product. If it moves constantly and is set up by different people, the X-banner wins.
Standard — 60, 80 and 120 cm. Steel-reinforced frame, the sturdier of the two builds.
Lite 60×160 and Lite 80×180 — fibreglass frame, under half a kilo. Cheapest and lightest; treat as a consumable.
Print with four corner eyelets and keep important content at least 40 mm away from the corners — that area is where the frame pulls and where a logo will distort.
L-Banner Stands for a similar footprint with a firmer stance, and budget roll ups if a cassette is preferred at the same price level.
Scale: 1:1, minimum 150 dpi.
Colours: CMYK. Send Pantone references separately if an exact brand colour matters.
Fonts: converted to curves.
Files: TIFF, JPG or PDF.
Bleed: leave 40–60 mm extra at the bottom — that part rolls into the cassette and is never seen.

X-banner if it moves constantly, is carried by different people and is set up in under a minute — one person can carry three on a train. Roll up if it stands in one place for a season, because it has a weighted base and an X-banner does not.
Not on its own. The frame's geometry holds it up and nothing weighs it down, so it needs weighting outdoors or in any draught. Indoors on a carpet it is fine.
Standard has a steel-reinforced frame and survives repeated setups. Lite is fibreglass, under half a kilo, and should be treated as a consumable.
Flat print with four corner eyelets. Keep important content at least 40 mm from the corners — that is where the frame pulls and where a logo distorts.
