Three numbers decide a roll-up banner job before you discuss artwork: the minimum order, the price per set, and the turnaround. ZprintPro roll-up banners start at 10 sets at HK$85-300 per set (depending on graphic size, fabric and finishing), with a 5-7 working day standard turnaround and a free digital proof within 1 hour of artwork submission. Here is everything on sizes and price tiers, fabric choice, finishing options, artwork specs, use cases and the questions buyers ask most.
Quick Answer: How much does roll-up banner printing cost?
Sets run HK$85-300 from 10 sets. Three things drive the price: graphic size (850×2000mm up to 1200×3000mm), fabric (waterproof vinyl / mesh / fabric) and finishing (eyelets, pole pockets). Check your exact unit price with the 30-second AI quote on the roll-up banner product page.
Quick Answer: What is the minimum order for roll-up banners?
10 sets minimum, so you can test a small batch first. Quantity tiers: 10 sets at 35% off, then a bulk tier from 100 sets. Roll-up banners sit in the banner printing category alongside mesh, outdoor vinyl and adhesive banners, which share similar minimums and lead times - combine them in one exhibition order.
Quick Answer: Roll-up banner, X-banner or plain printed banner?
A roll-up banner (also called a retractable banner) rolls the graphic into an aluminium base and pulls up on a support pole - the standard exhibition floor stand. An X-banner uses a folding X frame: lighter and cheaper, good for one-off events. A printed banner is the graphic only, no stand, for hanging, fencing or stage backdrops. An adhesive banner has a self-adhesive back for walls, glass and vehicles.

Sizes and price tiers
The first decision is not price but graphic size, because size drives fabric area, stand specification and shipping volume. These are the three standard configurations on the product page:
| Format | Graphic size | Configurator factor | From price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small (Standard) | 850 × 2000mm | 1.0x | HK$85 / set | In-store display, counter side, small roadshow |
| Medium | 1000 × 2500mm | 1.5x | Scales by 1.5x factor | Standard exhibition stand, mall atrium, job fair |
| Large | 1200 × 3000mm | 2.2x | Scales by 2.2x factor | Large booths, launch backdrops, flagship stores |
All three share the same aluminium base design: one-person setup and pack-down, a reusable frame that takes a replacement graphic, and a long slim carry tube that can be upgraded to an oxford bag or hard case for freight. That matters commercially: when you refresh the artwork you reprint the graphic only and keep the frame, so the second and third campaigns cost far less than the first. For other large-format options, see the trade show banner printing guide and the poster size guide.
Fabric: indoor, outdoor or semi-exposed?
The same stand behaves very differently depending on the fabric, and the price difference maps directly to the use case:
| Fabric | Finishing surcharge | Light | Durability | Recommended use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Waterproof vinyl | No surcharge | Opaque | Water and UV resistant, reusable | Indoor and short-to-mid term outdoor, exhibitions, retail |
| Mesh | +HK$30 | About 30% open area | Wind passes through, no sail effect | Semi-exposed sites, fencing, hoarding, long hangs |
| Fabric | +HK$50 | Opaque, soft hand | Anti-glare, premium look | Feature indoor stands, brand launches, photo backdrops |
Pick the fabric from the site, not from the swatch: you only pay the mesh surcharge where you actually need see-through and wind relief. Indoors with a backdrop, glossy vinyl is the wrong choice because stage or ceiling lights bounce off it and phone photos come back with white flare - use the anti-glare fabric option instead. For anything hung outdoors long term, respect wind load: mesh lets air through, so both the frame and the mounting points take far less force. See the outdoor vinyl banner and mesh banner product pages for those formats.
Finishing and hardware: when you actually need it
Finishing is not a checklist to max out; it depends on how the graphic is fixed and how the kit travels:
| Option | Surcharge | Function | When it is necessary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eyelets | +HK$20 | Metal eyelets around the edge for ties or cable ties | The same graphic doubles as a fence or hung banner |
| Pole pocket | +HK$30 | Sewn sleeve top, bottom or side for a pole | Telescopic poles, goalpost frames, or a wrinkle-free flat finish |
| Weighted bar | Included by configuration | Heavier bottom bar, resists tipping | Outdoor, windy positions, busy walkways |
| Oxford bag / hard case | Quoted by format | Protection in storage and transit | Regular exhibition travel, warehouse or air freight |
In practice, a pole pocket holds the graphic flatter than eyelets plus cable ties, which can pull the edge into a wave; eyelets win when one graphic must also work as a hung or fence banner. If you are unsure, describe the venue and we will advise during the proofing step. See also adhesive banners and the banner buying guide.
Artwork specs and safe areas
Roll-up banners are 1:1 large format output, so most artwork problems come from resolution and the masked bottom:
- Supply at 1:1 actual size: state the finished size in millimetres - for an 850×2000mm banner, build the file at 850×2000mm, never scaled.
- 100-150dpi at final size: viewing distance is long, so 100-150dpi at 1:1 is enough; but place logos and photos at their native resolution rather than upscaling a small file.
- 10-20mm bleed on all four sides: cutting tolerance on large format is wider than on paper, so backgrounds and colour blocks must extend past the finished size.
- Keep the bottom 150-200mm clear: the base and the graphic clamp cover the lowest part of the graphic, so never put URLs, phone numbers or QR codes down there.
- CMYK colour: set body text in single black to avoid registration ghosting, and share Pantone or colour values for brand colours.
- The screen is not the output: backlit displays read brighter and flatter than print; we cover the expected shift at the proofing stage.
Once the file is ready you can order straight away - the free digital proof follows within 1 hour of submission, and production starts after you approve it.
Six common ways buyers use them
- Exhibitions and trade fairs: the medium 1000×2500mm format is the most versatile stand size for a small booth.
- Roadshows and pop-ups: the small 850×2000mm format opens in about 30 seconds by one person.
- Retail and F&B: new product or set-menu pricing outside the door; waterproof vinyl shrugs off splashes and rolls away at closing.
- Recruitment and campus: locations move, so reuse the frame and reprint the graphic only.
- Real estate: large 1200×3000mm stands pair with floor plans and brochures.
- Long outdoor hangs: switch to mesh so wind passes through and mounting loads drop.
Order flow and lead time
- Fix size and fabric: decide the graphic size and whether the site is indoor or semi-exposed.
- Artwork and proof: submit a 1:1 file and receive a free digital proof within 1 hour to check content, size and the masked bottom.
- Production: roughly 5-7 working days standard; build in shipping time before an event date and tell us the date when you order.
- Dispatch and check: every set includes frame and graphic, with optional oxford bag or hard case; local Hong Kong and cross-border delivery can both be arranged.

Frequently asked questions
Q1: How much is one roll-up banner set?
A: HK$85-300 per set from 10 sets. The price adds up from graphic size (from 850×2000mm), fabric (mesh +HK$30, fabric +HK$50) and finishing (eyelets +HK$20, pole pockets +HK$30). Use the 30-second AI quote on the product page for an instant figure.
Q2: Can I order just one set to check the quality?
A: The minimum is 10 sets; 10 sets already get 35% off and volumes from 100 sets move to the bulk tier. To check the result first, use the free digital proof to validate content, size and the bottom safe area on screen before printing.
Q3: Is a roll-up banner the same as a retractable banner?
A: Yes - same product, different name: the graphic rolls into an aluminium base and pulls up on a pole. It is listed as BN-002 on the product page. The banner printing category also covers mesh, outdoor vinyl and adhesive formats.
Q4: Which fabric for indoor versus outdoor?
A: Indoor with a backdrop and photos involved: fabric or anti-glare finish. Retail and short-term outdoor: waterproof vinyl. Semi-exposed, windy or long hangs: mesh, so wind passes through and the frame carries less load - see mesh banners.
Q5: What is the lead time for a rush job?
A: About 5-7 working days standard, with a free digital proof within 1 hour of artwork. For a rush, tell us the event date when ordering and we reverse-schedule production and shipping from it.
Q6: Do I need to buy new hardware for the next campaign?
A: No. The frame is designed for replacement graphics, so you reprint the graphic and reuse the frame - a large saving for teams that exhibit regularly.
