Roller Banners are an effective way for businesses to promote their brand, support events, and create professional displays across multiple locations. For trade shows, retail spaces, corporate events, promotional campaigns, or ongoing signage needs, banner printing offers a practical and cost-effective solution. At Printwell UK, we specialise in meeting business banner printing requirements across London and the UK. From choosing the right size and material to preparing artwork and finishing, we help businesses manage larger orders efficiently while maintaining consistent quality and professional branding.
Retractable (pull-up) roller banners The most common type — the banner rolls up into a base unit and pulls up to full height when needed, then retracts back down for storage or transport. Quick to assemble, lightweight, and ideal for repeated use across different events.
Double-sided roller banners Designed to be viewed from both directions, making them well suited to open floor spaces at exhibitions or events where visitors approach from multiple angles.
Premium/wide-base roller banners Sturdier stands with a wider footprint for improved stability, often used in high-footfall environments or where the banner will be left standing for extended periods. There is a new one also have a look at this.
Fabric roller banners Use a lightweight fabric graphic instead of traditional vinyl or PVC media, giving the display a softer, premium appearance. They are easy to carry and well suited to exhibitions, retail displays, events, and branded indoor spaces where a high-quality finish is important.
For most London businesses attending occasional trade shows or events, a standard retractable roller banner offers the best balance of cost, convenience, and durability.
Roller banners are typically sold in a handful of standard widths, each suited to slightly different settings:
Height is generally consistent across roller banner types, typically around 2 metres, giving a standing eye-level presence in most environments.
Roller banners are one of the more time-sensitive print products, since they’re often needed for a specific event date rather than ongoing use. Typical turnaround options include:
If your event date is fixed, it’s worth confirming turnaround and delivery time together — a same-day print with next-day delivery may not actually get the banner to you in time.
Roller banners remain one of the most cost-effective ways to add a professional presence to any event, stand, or reception space, provided the type, size, and artwork are set up correctly from the start. Getting these details right the first time avoids last-minute reprints and ensures the banner actually performs the job it’s there for — grabbing attention and holding it.
If you’d rather not navigate stand types and artwork specs alone, that’s exactly where we can help. Printwell UK has been producing print collateral for UK businesses for years, and our team will check your artwork, flag any resolution or bleed issues, and recommend the right stand type for your event before anything goes to print.

Most roller banners are around 85cm wide and 2 metres tall, though compact and wide-format options are also available depending on the space and setting.
Standard turnaround is typically a few working days, with next-day and same-day options available from many printers for an additional cost, subject to order cut-off times.
A high-resolution PDF is generally preferred, ideally designed at full print size or a known scale, with at least 150–300 DPI resolution and colours set to CMYK.
Yes, double-sided roller banners typically cost more than single-sided versions due to the additional printing and stand requirements, but they’re worthwhile for open, walk-around event spaces.
No. Printwell UK specialises in business and commercial banner orders and accepts orders for larger quantities only. This makes our service suitable for companies, exhibitions, events, retail campaigns, and organisations requiring multiple banners for their promotional or signage needs.
