Pull-up banner display stands are hugely popular as portable exhibition and promotional stands because they are cost-effective and visually attention-grabbing.
Easy to set-up, store and maintain (personal set-up record is less than 60 seconds!), the graphics can be changed and updated as necessary. To get your creative juices flowing here’s the top 50 uses for a very popular stand, and I’ve even added in one or two… less conventional ideas…
