Consider what type of material that your trade show stand comes with when you purchase it. We use a specialized pop up anti curl banner material specifically for retractable banners stands. Unlike our scrim banner material this is super smooth with no seams or rough portions. It is semi gloss giving it a professional looking finish for trade shows. Although you can put normal banner material in a retratactable banner stand it is not nearly as good of a product as pop up material. We use pop up material standard with all of our retractable banner stands.
