A good display should do the selling before you say a word, and that is exactly what roller banners are built to do. They are light, quick to put up and tall enough to be seen across a busy room. If you are looking for roller banner printing Cornwall businesses can rely on, Specialist Print produces them in house and delivers them fast.
Whether you need a banner for a one-off event or regular use, this page covers our available styles, materials, pricing, and artwork requirements.
Most customers come to us because they have an event, a launch or a shopfront refresh coming up. They want something that looks right, delivered on time. We build our service around that need.
When you order roller banners from Specialist Print, you can speak directly with our team about your requirements. We can offer advice on materials, talk through your design, and help you decide whether a budget-friendly option will do the job. That personal touch is the difference between guessing and getting it right first time.
At Specialist Print, we work closely with our customers to make sure every roller banner meets their requirements. Our team can advise on materials, help with artwork and keep you updated on your order, so you know what to expect throughout the process.
If you're unsure which size or finish is right for your space, just ask. A quick conversation with our team can help you choose the right banner and avoid costly mistakes.
A roller banner is a printed graphic that rolls up into a base cassette. When you are ready to use it, you pull the graphic up and hook it onto a support pole. The whole display stands on its own without tools.
That simple design is why roller banners are so popular. They are portable and easy to set up, so one person can handle them alone. The base also doubles as storage, which keeps the graphic clean between uses.
Most people also call them pop up banners. The two names are often used for the same product, although pop up banners can also describe larger frame-based displays.
Standard roller banners typically measure 800 mm x 2000 mm or 850 mm x 2000 mm, although other widths are available. With a well-planned layout and high-resolution print, a roller banner can help your business stand out in busy spaces.
From summer markets and local fairs to exhibitions and shop promotions, roller banners give Cornish businesses a flexible way to promote their services. Here is why they are a practical choice:
Your banner has a few seconds to earn attention. It needs to deliver high impact branding without clutter. That starts with a clear message, a strong logo and bold use of colour.
We print in full colour, so your brand message comes through with real depth. High-resolution printing helps produce sharp text, clear images and crisp edges, even on larger banners. Vibrant colours help your display hold its own against busy backgrounds.
A few simple rules make a banner work harder:
These choices create maximum visual impact. They also keep the design from feeling crowded, which is the most common reason a banner underperforms.
Eye catching graphics do not need to be complicated. One strong image and one clear line of text will often outperform a layout crammed with detail. If you would like a second opinion on your design, our team is happy to look it over.
We stock nine roller banner units, so you can match the stand to the job. Every graphic is bespoke printed, and every unit comes with a carry bag. Here is what each one offers.
The Raptor is our entry level and cost-effective option. It has a robust, compact build and a snap-clip top rail, and it comes in 850mm, 1000mm, 1500mm and 2000mm widths, all 2m high. Despite the low price, the build quality sits above most budget roller banners.
The Greenwich suits you if you want something a little more discreet. It has a curved, more ergonomic design with a heavy duty bungee pole and socket base. It comes in 850mm or 1000mm widths and takes about 30 seconds to set up.
The Frontier has no twist-out feet, so it stands on a smaller footprint than most roller banners. Adjustable feet underneath the base level it on uneven floors, and it comes with a premium padded carry bag. It is available in 850mm, 1000mm, 1500mm and 2000mm widths.
The Legend lets you swap the graphic. After the initial investment, you only need a replacement graphic for your next event or message. Quick release clips, a graphic tensioner, a telescopic pole and magnetic end caps make the change quick. It comes in 850mm and 1000mm widths.
The Orient is a low-profile unit, only 185mm deep, with wide options up to 2000mm. The graphic pulls up from the front of the unit, so the artwork is visible from floor to rail. It is a good fit when you need a wide display with a slim base.
The Senator Duo is a double-sided roller banner for spaces where people can see it from both sides. A single pole supports both graphics, and you can supply two different designs at no extra cost. It comes in 850mm and 1000mm widths.
The Thunder Outdoor Roller Banner is our weather-resilient double-sided option. The graphics are printed on 440gsm PVC, and the unit has large twin feet and a heavy-duty bungee pole. Ground pegs are included to secure it in wind speeds of up to 24mph. Without the pegs, keep it to winds of up to 7mph.
The Emblem Desktop Roller Banner is built for sales desks and close-up point of sale. It holds an A3 graphic and weighs just 0.35kg, so it is easy to carry between meetings.
We also offer a Green Screen Backdrop for video calls. It lets you make a home workspace look more like an office, or add a digital backdrop with software.
If you are short on time, our Express Roller Banners service is built for fast turnarounds. Ask us which sizes qualify when you order.
The material you choose affects how your banner looks and how long it lasts. We explain each option plainly so you can decide with confidence.
We can also discuss a matt finish if you want to cut glare under bright lights. Banners can be customised in various sizes and finishes, so tell us how you plan to use yours and we will recommend the best match.
Roller banners are mainly designed for indoor use. They shine in shops, foyers, schools, offices and exhibition halls. In these settings, the graphic stays protected and lasts for years.
Some customers want to use them outdoors, particularly at fairs and open days. This can work in calm conditions, although wind is the main concern. A tall, narrow banner catches the breeze, so a sheltered spot is always better.
If you do need to work in outdoor conditions, mesh banners are a smarter choice than solid sheets. They let air through and put less strain on the pole and base. Weather resistant materials also help the graphic hold up over a day of exposure.
For permanent outdoor advertising, a different product is usually better. We can point you towards a more suitable option, such as a fixed sign or a heavy-duty display built for the elements.
People often ask whether pop up banners and roller banners are different. In everyday use, the terms overlap a great deal.
A roller banner rolls up into a single cassette and stands on one support pole. A pop up display usually uses a folding frame and a larger graphic, which makes it a bigger backdrop.
Roller banners are lighter and quicker to put up. They take up less floor space and cost less. Pop up banners are better when you want a wide wall of branding behind a stand at a trade show.
If you are not sure which one you need, describe your space and we will advise. In many cases a pair of roller banners side by side gives you the same presence for less money.
Our roller banners start at £59 + VAT, and the prices for roller banners remain the same for single or bulk orders. You do not pay a premium for ordering just one, and you do not need to commit to a large run to get a fair rate.
We aim for low prices without cutting corners on the print. Great value comes from getting the right banner for the job, not simply the cheapest one. A budget banner used every week will cost you more in the long run than a sturdier model bought once.
When you ask for a quote, it helps to tell us:
With that information we can quote accurately and avoid surprises.
Time pressure is the reason many people contact us. A trade show is on Friday, or a shop opens on Saturday, and the banner has not been ordered yet.
Our standard turnaround for roller banner production is 3-4 working days. Turnaround times can vary based on print queues and in-house production, so it is worth checking with us when you place your order. We recommend checking current turnaround times before ordering, especially if you have a deadline.
Same day printing is available for our other products. Express services may offer next-day or same-day delivery for roller banners, depending on workload and the size you choose. Some roller banners can be printed and shipped the same day, so do ask if you are in a hurry.
Here is how to give yourself the best chance of a fast turnaround:
A quick approval is the single biggest factor in how fast your banner reaches you.
We run a free artwork check on every file you upload, so colours, bleed and resolution are looked at before anything is printed.
Send your design as a print-ready PDF, which is the format we accept because it gives the best quality. For the best results, use print-ready images in CMYK at the correct size with bleed. Make sure your logo is sharp and easy to read.
Every roller banner page has downloadable artwork templates for each size, so you can build your design to fit. Check the template for your unit before you start. Most of our units use a graphic 2150mm high with 2000mm visible, and the Orient uses 2260mm with 2110mm visible. The difference is the part of the graphic that does not show once the banner is up, so keep key text and logos inside the visible area.
After you upload, we check your artwork and prepare a proof for you to approve. If your design needs adjusting, our team can help. If you do not have artwork yet, our design service builds it around your brief and budget.
At Specialist Print, we help make the process straightforward, so you can focus on preparing for the day rather than chasing your printer.
If you have questions about your artwork or need advice before ordering, you can speak to our team and get practical guidance from people who understand the process.

What size should I choose?
Standard displays typically measure 800 mm x 2000 mm or 850 mm x 2000 mm. The right size depends on your available space and how much information you want to include. If you need a wider display, ask our team about the available options.
How long will my banner last?
Its lifespan depends on the materials, build quality, and frequency of use. Budget options suit occasional events, while heavy-duty models are better for businesses that regularly set up and pack away displays. Proper storage also helps protect the printed graphic.
Are they easy to transport?
Yes. The graphic retracts into the base cassette, making the display easy to carry and store between events. A carry case helps protect it during transport.
Can I customise my display?
Yes. You can use your logo, brand colours, images, and promotional messaging to create a display that suits your business. For the best results, supply high-resolution artwork and keep the main message clear and easy to read from a distance.
What is the difference between a roller banner and a pop-up display?
A roller banner has a retractable graphic housed in a base, while a traditional pop-up display uses a folding frame to support a larger graphic or backdrop. Roller banners are generally more compact and easier to transport, making them suitable for smaller spaces and individual displays.
