Banners and retractable stands in Calgary
Hang it on a fence, a wall or a stage, or roll it out of a stand at the trade show. A banner is the fastest big sign there is.
Quick answer
SURE Print Foothills prints custom full-colour banners in Calgary in any style or size, for outdoor fences and buildings, indoor events and trade shows. We also supply retractable banner stands with an adjustable stand that lets you set the display height, plus a padded carry case for storage and travel.
Banners are the go-to when you need a lot of sign for not a lot of money. A grand opening, a hiring push, a fence along a construction site, a booth at the BMO Centre during a trade show. Vinyl banners roll up, travel well and go up with a few zip ties or bungees. When the event's over, roll it back up for next time.
We print banners on our HP Latex large format printers, so colours are rich and the water-based ink doesn't leave a solvent smell, which matters for indoor events. For trade shows and lobbies, our retractable banner stands are hard to beat. The banner rolls down into the base, the adjustable stand lets you set the display size, and the whole thing packs into a padded carry case.

Outdoor banners and Calgary wind
A solid vinyl banner on an open fence acts like a sail. When a chinook comes through, that puts a lot of strain on the grommets and the fence. For long outdoor installs, consider mesh, more tie points and a few wind slits. Tighten the ties every so often, too. A banner that's flapping loose wears out much faster than one pulled snug.
FAQ
Banners & Retractable Stands questions
How much do custom banners cost in Calgary?
Banner pricing depends on size, material, finishing like grommets or pole pockets, and quantity. Retractable stands are priced separately from plain banners. Tell us what you need and we'll email you a detailed quote.
Can banners be used outside?
Yes. Our vinyl banners are made for outdoor use. For windy spots, mesh banners and extra tie points help them last longer.
What comes with a retractable banner stand?
Our retractable banners come with an adjustable stand so you can set the display size, and a padded carry case for storing and transporting it.
Can I replace the banner in my retractable stand?
Often, yes, depending on the stand. Bring it in and we'll take a look. If it can be reloaded, we'll print a new banner for it.
