Alligator premium retractable banner stands are the first "frameless" trade show banner displays. The graphic completely hides the hardware from the front, so all you see is your message. It's also the only retractable stand that can be used to make a seamless backwall by putting multiple units together. Because of the frameless design, the graphic extends all the way to the edge of the front of the base, so that when multiple stands are placed together at angles, the graphics match up to one another with no gap. There are also magnets in the top rail to easily connect multiple units together.
The Alligator also has a precision-engineered retraction system for smoother, more reliable operation, and the roller tension can be easily adjusted as needed. The Alligator pull up stand features a snap lock headrail and the graphic attaches directly to the roller mechanism with low profile velcro, so graphic changes are quick and simple. It has a telescopic height from 33" up to the full 94.5" height, and includes a 50 watt spotlight and deluxe heavy duty padded case.
Alligator banner stands have a lifetime warranty.

Banner Material Choices
Economy Banner: 13oz blockout banner is completely opaque, prints very well and has a slight fabric texture to it. The edges of this material may curl inward slightly if printed with dark colors and heavy ink coverage.
Standard Banner: Curl Free Fire Retardant banner has the beautiful upscale look of fabric, excellent color reproduction, a low glare finish and it is specially engineered to hang flat without curling at the edges, even with heavy ink coverage. This is our most popular material.
Standard Banner: Opaque Polyester Film is an eco-friendly 7 mil film with an antistatic gray backing and a textured satin finish. This polyester film has excellent hang flat properties, and it's waterproof, scratch resistant, tear resistant and provides good color while diffusing glare. It has the look of our Premium Trade Show Banner without the extra cost.
Eco Friendly Banner: EverGreen Fire Retardant Cloth is a water proof fire retardant 100% polyester woven fabric. This material is very eco friendly and will hang flat, but it's not completely opaque so light from behind may cast visible shadows on the graphic.
Premium Banner: Tradeshow Banner is printed on an opaque polyester film and laminated with a polycarbonate laminate. It is the ultimate in image quality, will hang flat without curling at the edges, is the most scuff and scratch resistant product available, and has a classic low gloss polycarbonate textured finish that is the standard for tradeshow graphics.
We have many other banner materials available, but these are our most popular choices. If you would like to consider another banner material, please contact us and we'll price other options for you.

When you're ready to order, you can use the main menu above or use the Place Order button next to each item in the Pricing tab. The order process for banner stands is a little different than for our other display hardware, as you will also have the chance to select the printing material and attach your file for printing. This section will cover in detail the steps you need to take to place an order for a banner stand using our order form.
When you first open the order form, there will be an expanding list of items on the left. If you use the Place Order button, you can skip to the next paragraph below, otherwise, choose the Display Hardware option, then choose Banner Stands & Accessories: Banner Stands: Retractable Banner Stands, and select the specific model you wish to order.If you haven't already decided on a model, you can choose different items and read their descriptions to help you make a choice.
Once you have decided on the model, you will need to tell how you are sending your file. You can choose Upload Now and click the Upload button that appears to send your file at this point, which is recommended, you can choose to send your file later or one of the other options. If you need us to design your graphics, you can choose the option "A file is not required for this order".
Once you tell us how you are sending your file, enter the quantity you would like to order and the price will be calculated. If you are ordering multiple displays that will each have different graphics, you should add them to your order as separate items to prevent any confusion.
Next you can select from the available banner options and the price will be updated and a description of the banner material will be displayed. You can experiment with different options to see how the price is affected, and to read about the different banner materials to help you make a choice. You can also read about the different banner options in the Pricing tab.
Next you can request a proof. A reduced size printed proof is $30 and will be printed on the same material as your final print, but an electronic pdf or jpg proof is free. A pdf proof is good for checking the general layout, proof reading, etc., but if you're concerned about color accuracy or the quality of an image when enlarged to full size, a physical proof is the best option. A reduced size proof of the overall design is good for proofing color, or we can print a section of the graphic at full size so you can see how an image will look when blown up. If we feel the file will print poorly, we will always contact you to discuss your options before printing, but since our expectations and yours may not match, and since custom printed graphics cannot be returned, a proof is your best way to verify what the final print will look like in advance.
Lastly, there is a Special Instructions field where you can provide any information you think we may need to process your order correctly.
Once you've complete all the previous steps, click the Add to Cart button to add this item to your shopping cart. On the shopping cart screen you can see all the items you've added to your order, delete any that you don't want, and have another chance to upload your file if you chose Upload Later from the order form. You can also choose Add Another to add another item to your order.
You don't need to log in or create an account to select and add items to your shopping cart, but you will need to do so in order to complete your order. This is so your account history can be maintained for future reference and ordering convenience. Your account information is secure and confidential, and creating an account WILL NOT result in unwanted e-mails from us, or anyone else.
Once you have placed all the items you want in your cart, and are logged in to your account, click the Order Now button. You will be asked to specify either normal turnaround time for your order, or provide a specific due date. If you do specify a due date, you will also be given the option to authorize rush charge for your order. If you need your order completed in less than the normal 3-5 day turnaround, you should authorize rush charges to ensure you get your order on time. Rush charges are 50% of your order total, up to a maximum of $75. If we don't have to bump other jobs to meet your deadline, you won't be charged the rush fee, but if you don't authorize the charges, we'll do what we can to complete your order on time, but won't go so far as to bump other jobs. If you specify a due date, we will adjust the shipping method, if necessary, to ensure your order arrives by the date you specified. In this case, extra shipping charges may apply.
Next you will be asked to select the shipping method, and finally the payment type. You should know that your credit card is not being charged when you submit the form. We are collecting the information for your order, but you will not be charged until we have verified your order to make sure there were no mistakes made. That way, if there are aspects of your order that change, we can adjust the order and the shipping cost, if necessary, before you are charged.
Once you click the Order button, you will receive an order summary via e-mail for your records, and we will receive your order and the process can begin.
As always, if you have any questions or need assistance, please Contact Us and we'll be happy to help you with the process.
