Retractable Banner Stand Only — Banner Stand Hardware Only, All Three Widths, Replacement Retractable Banner Stands, Nationwide USA Delivery
Retractable banner stand only orders are placed when the hardware and the graphic are needed independently — not as a combined package. This separation is commercially significant because the two components of a retractable banner stand have different replacement cycles, different failure modes, and different cost structures. The printed graphic changes with every campaign, rebrand, or seasonal update. The stand hardware — aluminum cassette, telescoping pole, carry case — can function reliably across years of use and dozens of graphic replacement cycles without requiring replacement. Understanding when to order stand-only hardware versus a complete stand-and-print package determines whether you are spending appropriately on your display program or duplicating hardware costs that your existing inventory already covers.
Who Needs Retractable Banner Stand Only Hardware
Stand-only banner hardware orders at Printed Today fall into three clear buyer scenarios. Each represents a situation where the hardware is the only component needed and a complete stand-and-print package would include unnecessary and already-owned elements.
Buyers With Compatible Graphics Already Produced
If you have a professionally produced retractable banner graphic — either from Printed Today or a third-party print supplier — sized to a standard 33″, 47″, or 59″ cassette width, and you need the hardware to display it, stand-only ordering gives you exactly the cassette, pole, and carry case required to complete the display without paying for a graphic reprint you do not need. This scenario is common for businesses that produce graphics through one supplier and hardware through another, for rebrands where new graphics have been produced before new hardware is procured, and for multi-location display programs where graphics ship ahead of hardware delivery.
Replacement Hardware for Failed Cassettes
Retractable banner stand cassette mechanisms — the spring-loaded roller that stores and deploys the graphic — can fail after extended high-frequency use. When a cassette mechanism fails but the printed graphic it contains is still in good visual condition, ordering replacement retractable banner stand hardware at the same width allows the current graphic to be transferred into a new cassette and continue in service. This avoids the combined cost of new hardware plus a graphic reprint for a design that does not yet need to change. For the same reason, when a telescoping pole is bent or damaged but the cassette and graphic are intact, a replacement pole can be obtained through our team without replacing the complete stand.
Expanding a Multi-Stand Display Program
Organizations running retractable sign stands across multiple locations — retail branch networks, franchise display programs, touring conference setups, corporate reception areas — periodically need additional hardware cassettes to deploy existing or newly produced graphics at new locations. Ordering retractable stand hardware only provides the additional units required without the overhead of a graphic reprint for locations that will receive existing designs. This is particularly relevant for seasonal retail programs where the same graphic design is deployed across ten, twenty, or more locations simultaneously and additional hardware units are needed faster than a complete new stand-and-print production run would allow.
Available Widths and Starting Prices
We offer retractable banner stand only hardware in three standard widths — all at the industry-standard 79″ (2000mm) display height. Each width suits specific display environments and is compatible with graphics produced to the corresponding cassette dimension.

Table Note: All stand-only prices per unit in USD — include aluminum cassette base, telescoping support pole, and carry case. No printed graphic included. Complete stand + print prices include hardware, full-color graphic, and carry case. Bulk pricing applies at higher quantities for all widths — proceed to the individual size page or contact our team for full quantity tier pricing.
Stand Only vs Complete Package — Choosing the Right Order
| Your Situation | Correct Order |
| You have a compatible graphic — need hardware only | Stand Only (this page) — from $38.36 |
| You have functioning hardware — need a new graphic only | Replacement Graphics |
| You need both new hardware AND a new graphic | Complete Stand + Print |
| You need hardware in a different width than shown | Retractable Banner Stands |
Retractable Stand Hardware — What Is Included
Every retractable banner stand only order includes three components: the aluminum cassette base with spring-loaded retraction mechanism in the ordered width, the telescoping support pole that extends to the full 79″ display height and collapses to carry-case length for transport, and the carry case that holds both the cassette and pole compactly for storage and travel between venues. No graphic is included — the cassette accepts any compatible graphic produced to the correct insertion width for the cassette size ordered.
The retractable stand hardware is available in Standard grade across all three widths. The 33″ width is additionally available in Premium grade — a heavier-gauge cassette with a higher-tension retraction mechanism designed for permanent display positions and high-frequency use programs. For Premium hardware ordering at the 33″ width, see our 33″ Stand Only page.
Graphic Compatibility — Third-Party Stand Hardware
If you are ordering stand-only hardware to display a graphic produced by a third-party print supplier, confirm the graphic’s insertion width before ordering. Most standard retractable sign stands and retractable stand hardware across the US market use the same 850mm, 1200mm, and 1500mm cassette widths as Printed Today hardware. However, insertion tail length specifications and cassette slot tolerances vary between hardware manufacturers. A graphic produced with a shorter insertion tail than the Printed Today cassette requires may not anchor correctly under the spring mechanism. If you are unsure about compatibility between an existing graphic and Printed Today cassette hardware, contact our team with the graphic dimensions before placing your stand-only order.

Frequently Asked Questions — Retractable Banner Stand Only
What does retractable banner stand only mean?
Retractable banner stand only means the order includes the aluminum cassette base with spring-loaded retraction mechanism, the telescoping support pole, and the carry case — without a printed graphic insert. It is the correct order when you already have a compatible graphic to install, need replacement retractable banner stand hardware for a cassette that has failed, or need additional hardware units for an existing display program. Banner stand hardware only pricing starts from $38.36 per unit for the 33″ width. For complete stand-and-print packages, see our Retractable Banner Printing page.
What widths are available for stand-only hardware?
We offer retractable banner stand only hardware in three standard widths — 33″ × 79″ (850mm × 2000mm) from $38.36, 47″ × 79″ (1200mm × 2000mm) from $59.96, and 59″ × 79″ (1500mm × 2000mm) from $76.76 — all at the standard 79-inch display height. The 33″ is the most widely ordered width for trade show, event, and retail applications. The 47″ suits exhibition booth back walls and wider display positions. The 59″ delivers the maximum single-cassette display width for conference stage and large feature display positions. For full details on each width, see the individual size pages: 33″, 47″, and 59″.
What is the difference between retractable sign stands and retractable banner stand only hardware?
Retractable sign stands and retractable banner stand only hardware describe the same product — a spring-loaded aluminum cassette base and telescoping pole system without a printed graphic. “Retractable sign stand” is a broader term used across the US signage industry for any free-standing retractable display unit. “Banner stand hardware only” specifically indicates the hardware-only purchase configuration at Printed Today — the same cassette and pole as our complete stand-and-print packages, sold without the graphic component.
Can I use Printed Today stand-only hardware with a graphic from another supplier?
Yes — as long as the graphic’s insertion width matches the cassette width of the hardware ordered, and the insertion tail is the correct length for the Printed Today cassette slot. Most standard retractable banner graphics produced to 850mm, 1200mm, or 1500mm widths by US print suppliers will be compatible. If the graphic was produced to a non-standard width or has a shorter insertion tail than the Printed Today cassette requires, it may not anchor or retract correctly. Contact our team with your graphic dimensions before placing a stand-only order if you are unsure of compatibility.
Do stand-only orders ship to all 50 states?
Yes. We ship retractable banner stand only hardware — all three widths — to all 50 United States via FedEx with full tracking at dispatch. No zone surcharges or remote-area delivery premiums apply. Express production — 72-hour, 48-hour, and 24-hour next-day — is available for all delivery addresses nationwide. For the full retractable banner stand range including complete stand-and-print packages at all sizes, see our Retractable Banner Stands page.
