Banner Material Choices
Economy Banner: Smooth blockout banner is a completely opaque vinyl with a low gloss finish and a slight fabric texture. It produces sharp, vivid images and is waterproof, tearproof, fade resistant and very durable. While considered a curl free material, it doesn't hang quite as flat as our more expensive options, but overall it's an excellent option at a great price.
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. It's waterproof, tearproof, fade resistant and of all the banner options available, this one hangs the flattest. As it is fire retardant, with an NFPA 701 rating, it's excellent for display in public buildings such as museums, theaters, and other locations with strict fire codes. This is our most popular material.
Fabric Banner: Blockout Polyester is a heavy 100% polyester fabric that is woven so tightly that it's completely opaque so light from behind can't cast shadows on the graphic. It's waterpoof, tearproof, fade resistant and offers sharp printing with brilliant colors. This material is printed with water-based latex inks for an extremely eco-friendly solution that hangs very flat and looks great.
Premium Banner: Tradeshow Banner is printed on an opaque polyester film and laminated with a polycarbonate laminate for a 10 mil thick finished banner. 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. It's fade resistant, tear resistant, and waterproof. This product is also very environmentally friendly being printed with water based inks and containing no PVC.
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.

We recommend the following accessory items to go with the Contender collection:
The Lumina 2 banner stand spotlight is the recommended model for this stand, although all our Lumina lights will work. Details on this light can be found on the Banner Stand Lighting page.
The Expand Brochure Pocket is a durable, transparent literature holder that can be attached to our retractable and non-retractable displays as well as the Expand PodiumCase. The Expand BrochurePocket comes with a holder, a super magnet and a bracket (for attaching to the Podium Case top). Simply attach the pocket to a graphic panel with the supplied super magnets or screw the included bracket to the holes on the underside of the wooden Podium Case top.
For a hard shipping case for the Contender Mini, Standard and Mega models, the SmartPak banner stand case is an excellent choice. To see all our shipping case options, visit our Banner Stand Shipping Case page.
