Question
How much of a retractable banner will be hidden inside the stand?
Answer
A small margin of a retractable banner is always concealed by the hardware, so you want to keep critical content away from the very top and bottom edges. Planning your safe zone up front avoids cut-off text or images.
| Area | How much is hidden |
|---|---|
| Bottom (coiled in base) | About 0.5" |
| Top (holder / rail) | About 0.5" |
- Keep important text and images at least 0.75" from both the top and bottom edges.
- This buffer also covers up to about 1/6" of shifting during installation.
- Let background colors run fully to the edges so no white gap appears.
