What is a roll up banner?
A roll up banner is a tall, portrait printed banner that rolls out of a metal base, like a window blind in reverse. It is also called a pull up banner, roll-up, retractable banner or banner stand. A pole clips into the top rail to hold it up, and the whole thing packs into a carry bag in under a minute.
Roll ups are used at trade shows, conferences, receptions, shop entrances, events and pop-up stands. Because the graphic is one long portrait panel, the design works more like a poster than a flyer: one message, big type and a clear top section.
Roll up vs X-banner vs pop-up display
An X-banner is the cheaper cousin of the roll up: the print hangs on a folding X-shaped frame with eyelets at the corners. A pop-up display is a large curved or straight backdrop wall for exhibition booths.
| Roll up banner | X-banner | Pop-up display | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stand | Metal base cassette, banner rolls inside | Folding X-shaped poles, banner hooks on with eyelets | Collapsible frame with fabric or panel graphics |
| Setup | Under a minute, one person | A few minutes, one person | 10 to 30 minutes, often two people |
| Durability | Graphic protected in the base; lasts many events | Light and cheaper; more wear on the print | Sturdy, built for repeated trade shows |
| Typical sizes | 80 to 100 cm wide, about 200 cm tall | 60 x 160 cm or 80 x 180 cm | About 3 x 2.3 m and larger |
| Best for | Trade shows, receptions, regular events | One-off events, tight budgets, indoor promos | Exhibition booth backdrops |
Design-wise the same rules apply to all three. A roll up artwork can usually be adapted to an X-banner by changing the document size and keeping text away from the corner eyelets.
Roll up banner sizes
There is no single standard size, but most stands are about 2 m tall and come in a few common widths. Always ask your printer for their exact size, bleed and how much of the bottom sits inside the base.
| Size | Notes |
|---|---|
| 850 x 2000 mm (about 33 x 79 in) | The most common roll up size |
| 800 x 2000 mm | Slightly narrower standard stand |
| 1000 x 2000 mm | Wider stand for more visual impact |
| 30 x 70 in (about 76 x 178 cm) | The size of every template on this page |
| 60 x 160 cm / 80 x 180 cm | Common X-banner sizes |
The templates here are set up at 30 x 70 inches. If your printer uses a different stand, change the document size in InDesign and nudge the elements; the proportions of most roll up sizes are close enough that the layout still works.

Roll up banner design tips
- Use the top third. Put the logo and the headline at eye level, roughly 140 to 200 cm from the floor. This is the part people see over a crowd.
- Keep the bottom clear. The bottom 15 to 20 cm sits close to the floor, is hidden behind tables and feet, and is partly covered by the base. Use it for a background color or a website, never for key information.
- Make the type big. The headline should read from 3 m away. As a rule of thumb, that means letters at least 8 to 10 cm tall for the headline and no body copy smaller than about 2 cm.
- One message. One headline, one image, one call to action. A roll up is not a brochure; put the details on a flyer next to it.
- Add a QR code with a purpose. Place it at chest height, about 10 cm wide, and say what it does (“Book a demo”, “Get 10% off”).
- High contrast. Dark text on light or light on dark; avoid text over busy photos.
- Check bleed and the base. The templates have 3 mm bleed; many printers want extra at the bottom for the part that goes into the cassette, so check their spec before you export.

Frequently asked questions
What should be on a roll up banner?
Your logo, one clear headline, one strong image, a short line or three about what you offer, and a call to action such as a website, phone number or QR code. Keep the most important items in the top half.
What is the difference between a roll up banner and an X-banner?
A roll up banner rolls into a metal base and stands on its own, so it is quick to set up and the print is protected. An X-banner hangs on a folding X-shaped frame by its corners; it is lighter and cheaper but less durable.
Is a pull up banner the same as a roll up banner?
Yes. Pull up banner, roll up banner, retractable banner and banner stand all describe the same tall banner that rolls out of a base.
What is the standard size of a roll up banner?
The most common size is 850 x 2000 mm (about 33 x 79 inches), with 800 and 1000 mm widths also popular. The templates on this page are 30 x 70 inches and can be resized in InDesign.
How do I design a professional roll up banner?
Start from a template, keep one message, put the logo and headline in the top third, use large type that reads from 3 m, keep text out of the bottom 20 cm and use high-resolution photos at the final print size.
Can I edit these roll up banner templates in Canva or Word?
No. They are Adobe InDesign files, so you need InDesign to change the text, colors and images. Preview photos are not included; use your own or licensed stock photos.
