Turnaround options
Standard turnaround is confirmed on your quote. Express places your graphic ahead in the queue. Same-day production may be possible for standard X-banner sizes when frames are in stock and print-ready artwork is approved and paid for before the configured cutoff, subject to capacity. Drying time before eyeletting, non-standard sizes, frames that need sourcing and design work can move a job to express or standard. Production completion and delivery arrival are separate.

FAQs
X-banner or pull-up banner?
X-banners are lighter and more economical, but the graphic is exposed and the frame is less stable. Pull-ups protect the print in a cassette and look more polished for corporate use.
Can X-banners be used outside?
Only in sheltered or calm spots, and with weight on the base. Wind can bend the rods and blow the stand over.
Will my old graphic fit a new frame?
Only if the sizes match exactly. Measure the eyelet-to-eyelet distance on your current graphic before ordering a replacement.
Does the graphic curl?
The X-frame keeps the print taut while in use. Store it rolled with the print facing outward to reduce curl.
