Collection: L & X base Banner Stands

What are L & X Base Banner Stands?

Think of L & X banner stands as your portable workhorses. They're easy to set up, simple to transport, and look professional wherever you take them.

L Frame Banner Stands

The L frame stand has an L-shaped aluminum tube running behind your graphic for support. It's clean, professional, and straightforward—perfect for busy locations where you need something that just works. This is the stand you want when you need a freestanding sign that goes up in seconds. No tools, no complicated assembly, no headaches.

X Frame Banner Stands

The X stand banner (sometimes called an X-frame banner stand) uses an X-shaped frame with your graphic stretched tight across it using grommet holes at the edges. These things are seriously lightweight, fold down into a compact carrying case, and honestly, they're some of the most portable displays we've ever carried.

Both styles deliver serious value as affordable trade show displays that you can use just about anywhere.

Why Choose L & X Base Banner Stands?

Lightweight and Ultra-Portable

We're talking 5-10 pounds here. These stands fold up nice and compact, which makes them perfect for:

• Taking to multiple trade shows and events without the hassle
• Temporary installations where you're setting up and tearing down quickly
• Mobile marketing when budgets are tight
• Companies hitting up regular trade fairs and expos
• Remote locations where you're literally carrying your displays by hand

The compact size means they fit in your car easily, tuck away in tight storage spaces, and you don't need to ship them ahead—just grab and go.

Quick Setup Banner Stands

Time is money at events, right? These stands go up in under 2 minutes. One person can do it. No tools needed. Your graphics attach with grommets or pole pockets and you're done.

Here's what that looks like:

• Under 2 minutes from case to standing display
• One person can handle it (seriously, no team required)
• Simple attachment with grommets or pole pockets
• Freestanding design means no wall mounting hassles
• Looks professional the second it's up

This is clutch for last-minute changes, tight setup windows, or when you're juggling multiple displays across different locations at the same time.

Adaptable and Economical Graphics

Marketing messages change. Seasons change. Promotions change. With our stands, you can swap out graphics without buying new hardware every time.

• Switch messages for different seasons, promotions, or events
• Reuse the same frame with new printed graphics
• Keep your displays fresh without the cost of new frames
• Order new graphics quickly when you need them

This flexibility is where L and X base stands really shine for cost-effectiveness. You buy the frame once, and it works for you across years and countless events.

Well-Built and Professional Quality

Just because they're affordable doesn't mean we cut corners. Our banner stands give you:

• Aluminum frames built to last through event after event
• Rust-resistant materials that hold up over time
• Stable bases that won't tip over, even when foot traffic gets crazy
• Graphics that stay flat and wrinkle-free
• A professional look that makes your brand look good

Want your trade show booth to pop? Add L & X banner stands. Here's how people use them:

Mix these with your existing fabric or pop-up displays and you've got yourself a complete, professional-looking booth.

Combine with tabletop displays and you've got a recruiting setup that works.

Corporate Events and Gatherings

These work great for internal company events and external corporate occasions:
