What Are Table Top Retractable Banners?
Table top retractables are “mini retractable banners” that use a lightweight yet sturdy aluminum display base. The banner portion of these displays pulls out of and retracts into the base. These smaller graphics, when compared to our standard retractable banners, are a great addition to any trade show booth or other event setting where space may be limited. Designed for ultra portability these custom table top retractable banners can be set up in seconds, are easily packed and transported, and come with high resolution, vibrant printing to advertise services or products no matter the event setting.

How to Set Up Your Table Top Retractable Banner
Setting up your table top retractable banner can be done in seconds! Follow the steps below to help you master the simple setup process.
Remove your table top retractable from the box and get both support poles ready for assembly.
Attach the two sections of the metal pole together (no snap or screw mechanism) and insert the pole into the hole on the base with the flat edge on the top of the pole facing forward.
Slowly pull out the banner from the base by grasping the metal edge on the top of the banner. Do not allow the banner to “snap” back into position as this can damage your banner. Always pull out and retract the banner from the base in a slow and steady fashion.
Pull the lip of the metal edge over the extruding edge of the top of the pole, carefully releasing the metal edge to secure the banner onto the pole.

Care
Cleaning and caring for your table top retractable banner doesn’t require any heavy duty cleaning products or serious washing. To clean the banner material, use a light soap and water mixture with a non-abrasive cloth to gently wipe away surface dirt. Cleaning the base can be done in a similar fashion or you can use alcohol wipes (for glasses and screens) to wipe away any dirt from the base. Storing the mini retractable banner with the banner retracted into the base will help prevent any damage to the graphic while transporting the base. We recommend keeping the base wrapped in the box it was shipped in or some kind of cloth or fabric to prevent any scratches.

Product Specs
What is a table top retractable banner? Is it the same as a mini table top retractable?
Just as the name implies, a table top retractable banner is designed for displaying on tabletops, especially in trade show and convention environments. The banner portion of the display is designed to ‘hide away’ in the base until it’s time for use. The banner is easily pulled from the aluminum base, using a spring mechanism and mini support pole to retain tension when fully extended, resulting in a crisp table top display.
Are ‘table top retractable banners’ and ‘pop up banners’ the same thing? What about table top banners?
In the trade show and signage industries, retractable banners and pop up banners are commonly used interchangeably to describe the same product. ‘Pop up’ is generally a nickname of the retractable banner family, including our large format display retractable banners.
It’s important to note that ‘pop up displays’ can be used to refer to a different trade show product, the pop up display, which is a large format backdrop. To avoid this confusion, we’ll keep it simple and stick with table top retractable banners or table top retractables in all references.
Further, “table top banners” is sometimes used to refer to a standard vinyl banner that sits atop a table. These table top banners do not retract into any base like the retractable banners listed on this page nor our other standard retractable banners. While most of this is simply a case of semantics, the core functionality of these retractable banners is what sets them apart from some of the other very similar products we offer.
Are your table top retractable banners and retractable banners the same product?
As we mentioned above, they are all part of the same retractable banner family. The table top retractable banner is the small format version of the common large format retractable banners that we offer. In short, both types of retractable banners function in the same way using a pull-out banner system; size is the main difference between the two with the obvious use for table top retractable banners for table display.
Also, large format retractable banners come in three different variations - standard, premium, and deluxe - whereas table top retractable banners only offer a standard version in two different sizes.
Are table top retractable banners safe to bring on airplanes?
What material is the banner portion of the table top retractable made from?
The material used is a DSS 13 oz. pro blockout vinyl. This material has a smooth surface, offering vibrant colors using UV and eco-friendly ink. The ‘blockout’ portion is the material’s ability to have complete opacity; the material is designed to block light from permeating through the material. This is especially helpful when spotlights and other backlighting is present in a trade show or convention setting or booth.
Can your table top retractable banners be double sided?
What sizes are available for your table top retractables? Can I do a custom sized display?
We currently offer 8.25” W x 11.5” H (A4) and 11.75” W x 17.5” H (A3) options. These measurements reflect the actual visible area of the banner. These two sizes are also commonly referred to as A4 and A3 size. With the base included the dimensions for the two banners are: 9.75” W x 13” H and 13” W x 18” H. We do not offer custom display sizes for table top retractable banners.

What is the base made out of?
Is there a laminate over the top of the graphic to protect it?
How big is the printable area? Can this be changed?
For the smaller banner, it is 8.25” W x 10.5” H. For the larger banner it is 11.75” W x 16.5” H. Though these are the printable area measurements, we recommend keeping the main elements of your design away from the edges of the banner to ensure they are not cut off during the printing process. Additionally, add .25” bleed to each side of your file to prevent your design from being cut off.
Lastly, on our design tool there will be a blue dotted line that shows the bottom cut off point of where your design can not go past. Below this line will be the part of the material that is inside your aluminum base at all times. Anything below this line will never be visible.
Can my design be smaller than the actual banner area?
Do you print your table top retractable banners in one color or full color?
We print all of our products, including table top retractable banners, in full color and at no additional charge. Whether you want a black and white image printed or a design with multiple colors, we’ve got you covered!
Do you do color matching with the graphics I upload?
Is there a certain file type I need to use when uploading my graphic(s) for my table top retractable banner?
We recommend uploading your file as a .PDF, .JPG, .PNG, .TIF, .AI, or .EPS. The ideal file type is a vector-based one so that there are no resolution issues when printing your custom table top banner. If you’re worried about the image quality of your uploaded file, we offer free design services to help make sure your table top retractable banner is printed to your liking.

Usage
Can I use my table top retractable banner outside? Any exceptions or restrictions?
Will my table top retractable banner fade, scratch or wrinkle?
Will the base of my table top retractable banner be easily damaged?
The base is constructed to handle the normal wear and tear of travel and display during trade show and event appearances. It’s recommended that you keep the display in a protective box or case to prevent any unwanted damage.
What are the typical uses for table top retractable banners?
Table top retractable banners are the go-to, portable display at trade shows, conferences, corporate events, symposiums, campaign meetings, parties, weddings, and more! Though referred to as a ‘table top’ type display, they can really be displayed on any flat surface. Use for marketing new products or services, event information, photograph display, logos and branding, menus, and instructional material. There really isn’t a limit to how you can utilize this functional display!
Is there a slot on the base to store the pole pieces?
Installation & Care
How do I assemble my table top retractable banner?
Assembling the table top retractable banner is effortless! Connect the two pole pieces (there is no snapping, locking, or twisting mechanism) and insert the bottom pole into the hole on the top of the base. Grab the top portion of the banner and carefully pull the banner from the base. There will be slight resistance from the banner as you pull. Pull the lip of the banner’s top metal edge over the top of the pole, allowing the tension of the banner to secure it to the pole.
How careful do I need to be pulling out my banner and putting it back in the base?
Though the retracting mechanism of the banner is built to last for years, it’s important to take care when pulling the banner out from the base. Pulling out the banner as if you were going to start a gas lawn mower will surely damage the mechanism. Likewise, allowing the banner to free-fall back into the base after use will affect the integrity of the banner and spring. Slowly pulling out and guiding the banner back into the base after use is the best way to prevent potential damage to your banner.
Will there be assembly instructions with my table top retractable banner?
How do I store my table top retractable banner?
Is there any kind of ongoing care or maintenance needed for my table top retractable banner? Do I need to oil the spring mechanism after continuous use?
There is no need for extensive maintenance when the display is properly used. If dust or dirt accumulates on the banner material, use a light soap and water mixture and cloth to wipe the banner clean. The same goes for cleaning the base.
The spring mechanism is built to last for years of use, so there is no need to oil it. Use a pressurized air can (like ones used for cleaning keyboards) to remove any dirt or dust that gathers inside the banner compartment.
