A roll-up unrolls in 40 seconds without tools, weighs 2-4 kg and fits into a carry bag: it is the quickest way to put up a full advertising screen 2 meters tall at an entrance, exhibition or presentation. A replacement banner costs 5-8 times less than a new structure, so a single housing serves for years across dozens of campaigns. We will cover the types of roll-ups and mobile stands, common sizes, the printing technology and how to choose a model that will not warp after the first move.
What a roll-up and a mobile stand are
A roll-up is a mobile stand with a roll mechanism: the advertising banner is wound into an aluminum cassette base and pulled up along a telescopic pole. Hence the name, "rolling up". The wider class is called mobile stands: it also includes pop-up (a folding concertina wall), L-banners ("spider") and press wall (photo zone).
The main advantage is mobility. The structure can be carried by one person, assembled without tools and, unlike a permanent sign, needs no approvals. That is why roll-ups are kept at receptions, in showrooms, at conferences, and in shopping centers for promo zones.
Types of mobile stands
Classic roll-up (economy)
Aluminum cassette, telescopic pole, a single banner. Size 85×200 or 100×200 cm. Weight 2-3 kg, carry bag included. The basic workhorse for an entrance area and an exhibition stand. Production time 1-2 days.
Premium roll-up (wide base)
Weighted cassette with stable feet, reinforced pole, even banner tension without waves. Chosen for image events and long use: the housing withstands hundreds of assembly cycles.
Double-sided roll-up
Two banners in one cassette, so the advertising works in both directions. Placed in walkways where people come from two sides, such as shopping center corridors and between halls.
Pop-up stand (transformer wall)
A folding concertina frame with magnetic panels forms a continuous wall of 2.3×2.3 m and larger. This is already an exhibition stand for booth build-out: a backdrop for a negotiation area, branding of a whole wall in 10-15 minutes of assembly.
L-banner and press wall
An L-banner ("spider") is a light stand with a banner stretched at an angle, cheaper than a roll-up. A press wall is a framed photo-zone wall for sponsor logos at press photo calls, ceremonies and events.
Sizes of roll-ups and stands
The banner width is chosen to suit the location; the height is the standard 200 cm, which is above human height and reads over heads in a crowd.
| Type | Banner size, cm | Weight, kg | Where it is used |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini roll-up | 60×160 | 1,5–2 | Table, reception, narrow passage |
| Standard roll-up | 85×200 | 2–3 | Entrance, exhibition, presentation |
| Wide roll-up | 120×200 | 3–4 | Promo zone, large stand |
| Pop-up wall | 225×230 and larger | 12–18 | Exhibition build-out, backdrop |
| Press-wall | 200×300 and larger | 15–25 | Photo zone, press call |
The most popular format is the 85×200 cm roll-up: the best balance of visibility, weight and price. For a wide promo zone, 120×200 is used; for a single branded wall, a pop-up.
Banner printing: technologies and materials
The viewer sees the picture on a roll-up from close up, so printing is done at high resolution, from 1440 dpi, without a visible screen pattern.
| Banner material | Density | Properties | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cast banner (premium) | 440-510 g/m² | Does not curl, hangs flat, dense color | Image, long-term use |
| Polypropylene / synthetic | 200-250 g/m² | Light, matt, no glare | Standard roll-up |
| Backlit (translucent) | — | For backlighting, saturated color | Illuminated stands |
The inks are latex or eco-solvent: they have no smell and are safe for enclosed halls and conferences under indoor-air standards. A matt banner is preferable to gloss: it has no glare from exhibition lighting and camera flashes.
How to choose a mobile stand for the task
A one-off presentation or reception: a classic 85×200 roll-up, which is more than enough. Frequent trips and exhibitions several times a year: a premium cassette, since an economy mechanism wears out in 20-30 cycles, while a premium one lasts hundreds. A walkway with two-way flow: a double-sided roll-up instead of two ordinary ones. A branded backdrop for negotiations or a photo zone: a pop-up wall or press wall. A minimum budget for a handout point: an L-banner.
The banner is a consumable: the housing is bought once, and for each new promotion a replacement banner is printed at 5-8 times less than the cost of the whole structure. This is what makes the roll-up the most cost-effective mobile medium over the long run.
Lead times, print runs and delivery in Tashkent
A ready roll-up with print is handed over in 1-2 days, a pop-up and press wall for booth build-out in 3-6 days. A replacement banner for an existing cassette is printed in 1 day. On a run of 10 stands or more for a chain or event, the unit price drops by 20-35%. Every roll-up comes with a carry bag, so the structure is easy to move between sites and cities.
Frequently asked questions about roll-ups
How much does a roll-up cost in Tashkent?
An economy roll-up of 85×200 cm with print starts from 250,000 UZS; a premium one with a reinforced cassette costs more because of the mechanism and cast banner. A pop-up wall and press wall are priced individually by area. A replacement banner is 5-8 times cheaper than a new structure.
What roll-up size should I choose?
The universal format is 85×200 cm: it reads over heads, weighs 2-3 kg and is inexpensive. For a wide promo zone, 120×200 cm is used; for a table and reception, a mini of 60×160 cm; for a single backdrop wall, a pop-up from 225×230 cm.
Can I replace only the banner without buying a new roll-up?
Yes. The roll-up cassette is designed for banner replacement: the old banner is removed from the cassette and the new one is inserted. Printing a replacement banner costs 5-8 times less than the whole structure and is ready in 1 day.
How much does a roll-up weigh and how is it transported?
A standard 85×200 roll-up weighs 2-3 kg and folds into a carry bag about a meter long: one person can carry it, and it fits in the boot of a passenger car. A pop-up wall is heavier: 12-18 kg in a case on wheels.
How many days does it take to make a roll-up?
A roll-up with print takes 1-2 days, a replacement banner for an existing cassette 1 day. A pop-up and press wall for booth build-out take 3-6 days. The time depends on the run and the print workload.
How does a roll-up differ from a pop-up stand?
A roll-up is a single vertical strip 85-120 cm wide with a roll mechanism. A pop-up is a folding concertina frame that forms a continuous wall from 2.3 meters, for a branded backdrop and exhibition build-out. The roll-up is more mobile, the pop-up is bigger in scale.
