What Are X Banners?
The X Banner is the best lightweight and portable solution for your
on-the-go display needs. Your design will be printed on 13 oz. vinyl,
which will allow your display a long lasting and clear image for years
to come. The unique feature of this display option is the stand itself,
which is made from a fiberglass reinforced aluminum, giving lightweight
durability that lends to the portability of this banner. This easy to
set up design allows for quick and simple placement at trade shows,
conferences, presentations, business meetings and so much more.
Once you’re finished using your custom X Banner, it folds up just as
fast as it took to set it up. Placing the folded stand and banner in its
travel bag will allow you to take this versatile banner anywhere you
might need it.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the difference between an X-Stand banner, X-Frame banner and
‘X banner’?
-
For all intents and purposes, nothing! These terms are all
interchangeable and refer to what we offer on this page. I.e. a portable
and versatile frame with an accompanying 13 oz. vinyl banner.
- What material is your X-Stand banner made out of?
-
The banner itself is a 13 oz. vinyl, which is an extremely durable and
attractive material.
The X-Stand frame itself is comprised of a fiberglass reinforced
aluminum frame with plastic joints, allowing for lightweight durability
that is unique to this foldable sign.
- Do the banners have a hem around the edge?
-
The banners used with the X-Stand as described on this page do not have
a hemmed edge. Our standard vinyl banners that do not come with an
X-Stand can have a welded hem.
- How are the banners attached to the X-Stand?
-
Each banner is designed with metal grommets placed in each corner of the
banner to secure it to the stand. The grommeted holes in the banner then
attach to hooks which are part of the arms of the X-Stand. This can be
seen in the picture gallery on this page.
- Are there different material options for the stand too?
-
As of right now we do not offer any other material options for our
stand. In our experience, the aluminum stand is suitable for all display
purposes because of its simple, lightweight design.
- What is the lifespan of your X-Stand banner?
-
When properly stored and cared for, the X-Stand banner will last 3+
years. Using the X-Stand banner indoors will add to its lifespan.
Outdoor use will increase the likelihood of being damaged or worn over
time. While outdoor use may work just fine we recommend that the X-Stand
banner primarily be used indoors and outdoor use be limited. Please see
the question below for further details about outdoor use.
-
Will exposure to sun or the elements affect the quality of the banner?
Can I use it outdoors?
-
Though we do not recommend using the X-Stand banner outdoors, if you do
place it in direct sunlight it can diminish the quality of the design on
the banner over time. Nonetheless, a visible negative impact from
sunlight would require an extended period in direct sunlight. For
regular day to day use in which the banner is set up and taken down the
sunlight will not negatively affect the printed banner.
Harsh weather conditions, like heavy wind or rain, can cause damage to
the banner and stand. The lightweight frame does not make it ideal for
displaying outdoors. Thus, we recommend using the X-Stand banner indoors
for more temporary needs and our
custom vinyl banners
for extended or permanent outdoor use.
- How small or big can my X-Stand banner be?
-
We offer the X-Stand banner in two different sizes: 24” W x
63” H and 32” Wx 71” H.
- What are the weights of each size of X-Stand banner?
-
The weights for each are as follows (includes stand plus banner):
Smaller
- 3.3 lbs
Larger - 3.9 lbs
- Can the X-Stand fit different sizes of banners? Is it adjustable?
-
The X-Stand is designed to support the banner that it comes with. If you
order a 24” W x 63” H banner with a stand, the stand will
only be able to support that banner size. The height of the stand is not
adjustable, but the bottom anchor points where the banner is connected
to the stand can slide up and down to ensure that the banner is taut and
wrinkle free.
- If I print my banner in more than one color am I charged more?
-
Because we print all of our banners in full color you will not be
charged extra for using multiple colors in your design. The cost of the
banner will only be affected if you increase the size of the banner of
the quantity of banners you purchase.
- Do I have to use one of your templates for my X-Stand banner?
-
Our templates are provided as a general guide which you do not have to
use. If you have a design that you want to use for your banner, feel
free to upload it using our design tool. If you’re still not sure
how to incorporate your own design, we can offer
free design help. Just give us a call or email with your questions and we’ll help
you to the best of our ability.
- What if my banner is wrinkled? How do I remove the wrinkles?
-
If your banner is wrinkled or creased we recommend placing the banner in
direct sunlight for a few hours to help the vinyl stretch, removing any
wrinkles. If you do not have access to direct sunlight, using a hand
steamer can also assist in removing wrinkles. Do not use an iron to get
rid of any creases as this may damage your banner.
-
Will any banner with 4 grommets in the corners work with the stand?
-
Technically speaking, yes, any 4 grommet banner will work with the stand
as long as the banner is the correct size. Nonetheless, we do recommend
using our banners to ensure that it fits properly on the stand.
- Is the banner a matte or glossy finish/appearance?
-
The vinyl material of the banner will have a semi-gloss finish, whereas
the ink that is used in your design will have a matte finish. If your
design covers the entire area of the banner, including colored
backgrounds, then the banner will have a matte finish.
- Is the 13 oz. vinyl fire resistant?
-
Yes, our vinyl banners are fire resistant and have passed the California
State Fire Marshal, NFPA 701 Flame Test. Of course, we do not recommend
placing your banners near open flames or extreme heat.
- Can the banner be double sided?
-
The banners included with the X-Stand are not double sided. But, in
theory, if you have a banner that is double sided that fits the X-Stand,
you can attach it and flip the banner for different display purposes.
-
I have a banner in a different material of this exact size. Will that be
interchangeable?
-
It is possible that it could be used with the X-Stand, but we cannot
guarantee that it will fit.
-
Is the travel bag included with my purchase of the banner and stand?
What fits inside?
-
The travel bag is included with your purchase. The travel bag has a
drawstring at the top to close it. The stand and two poles that make up
the stand portion of your purchase will fit inside the bag. The banner
can also easily be rolled up, with the design on the inside, and
transported inside the bag.
Please note that this travel bag
differs from the carrying case that come with the feather and flag
banners that we offer. These two transport options are not
interchangeable across products. There is no additional optional
carrying case for our X-Stand banners.
- Does the travel bag have a handle or strap?
-
The travel bag has an easy to use strap attached to it in order to sling
the bag and contents over one’s shoulder for easy transport.
- Can I order a replacement for my travel bag?
-
At this time we do not offer a replacement for the travel bag only.
- What other banner types do you offer?
-
At Signs.com, we offer a variety of banner types
for an unlimited range of uses. We offer
standard vinyl banners,
fabric banners, feather banners, teardrop banners, and
retractable banners. All of our banners are a high quality signage solution that will meet
your display and advertising needs.
- How does the X-Stand banner differ from your retractable banner?
-
Though similar in purpose and portability, there are differences that
set these two banners apart. The X-Stand banner folds out and is
supported by three legs, making it stable on the ground. This feature
does mean that it takes up a little more floor space. The retractable
banner is a single metal base that the banner rolls up into, which, when
assembled, doesn’t take up a lot of floor space.
The
sizes of banners offered for each product differ as well. With the
X-Stand, you will be able to produce smaller sizes compared to the
retractable banner. The retractable banner does offer the tallest banner
between the two, measuring at 88” in height.
Both the
X-Stand and Retractable banners offer a portable and effective banner to
be used for temporary uses such as events, conferences, presentations
and even point of purchase advertising. The retractable banner will most
likely be a little more durable due to the construction of the base when
compared to the X-Stand banner but will also be more expensive. For
many, it is a simple matter of preference when choosing between these
similar products.
- Will my banner tear?
-
Our banners are made from a durable 13 oz vinyl that is resistant to
tearing up to 67 lbs x 64 lbs of pressure. It is highly unlikely that
your banner will tear.
-
Are there any options available to help weigh down or secure the stand
like your teardrop or feather banners?
-
We do not currently offer any weights or ropes to help secure your
X-Stand. The stand is not designed with any specific anchor points where
a weight or rope can be secured. It could be possible to secure the
stand by adding weight or tying it down, though it is not intended to be
modified in such way. For this reason, we recommend indoor use only.
-
Can I purchase just a replacement banner without ordering a stand and
travel bag?
-
Yes, you can purchase a separate banner without a stand. Simply order
the correct size vinyl banner from the site. Here are the specific sizes
of the X-Stand frames and their corresponding banner sizes:
Smaller
- 24” W x 63” H
Larger - 32” W x 71” H
- Can I place or use the X-Stand banner outside?
-
As noted above and in theory, the X-Stand banner can be used outdoors.
Though, we do not recommend it because of its lightweight frame. The
stand and banner can easily be knocked over by someone or blown over by
the wind. The banner will act like a sail and catch even the smallest
gust of wind. We would suggest you only use the X-Stand banner indoors.
We offer better outdoor signs including:
A-Frame signs
or
vinyl banners.
- What are X-Stand banners typically used for?
-
The X-Stand banner is perfect for displaying information at conferences,
trade shows, or presentations. It can also be used for temporary indoor
directional signage, point of purchase displays, church events and
services and more. The lightweight, foldable frame allows for simple
portability for you to take on business trips or presentation tours. The
easy setup and takedown make it an effortless and effective display
medium. This portability combined with the travel bag will make your
life that much easier.
- How do I best care for my X-Stand banner?
-
When not using your X-Stand banner, store it in its travel bag to
protect it from being damaged. Store it on a shelf or away from the
ground to avoid it from being stepped on or kicked. Don’t place
anything on top of the folded banner when it is being stored. When set
up, the banner should be placed in areas where it will not be bumped or
knocked down. It’s possible that the stand can accumulate dust or
dirt in the areas where the parts collapse. Use water and a moist
non-abrasive cloth to clean those areas. Cleaning the banner itself also
requires water and a damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
- How do I setup my X-Stand banner?
-
Setting up the X-Stand banner is as easy as setting up a folding chair.
The stand will come in three separate pieces: the stand and two poles.
Simply fold the stand out as though you are folding out an A-Frame sign.
Once you have the stand set up, place each pole into a respective hole
at the top of the stand. There is no need to secure the poles by a
screw, or by twisting, they simply attach using friction. Attach the
banner to the stand starting from the top. The grommets will fit nicely
over the hooks on the poles. Moving to the bottom of the banner, find
the adjustable hooks on the legs of the banner. Insert the hooks in the
bottom grommets, then pull each attached hook down to straighten the
banner out. Tighten the hooks by twisting the movable piece at the top
of each hook in the clockwise direction. This will give your banner a
crisp look while being displayed.
- How do I store my X-Stand banner?
-
It is recommended that you store your X-Stand banner in its travel bag
to protect from unwanted damage. When storing the banner, make sure it
is rolled up nicely, not too tight, to avoid causing creases or wrinkles
in the material.
