Roll‑Up Banners vs X‑Banners: What’s the Difference?

February 4, 2026

Both are great for events, but they suit different budgets and usage. Here’s a simple comparison.

Roll‑up banners

Roll‑ups retract into a base and look more premium. Ideal for repeated use.

X‑banners

X‑banners are lightweight and budget-friendly for one‑off promos.

Which should you choose?

  • Exhibitions & repeat use: roll‑up
  • Short-term promo: X‑banner
  • High footfall: roll‑up
