The bamboo range is becoming ever more popular, as mentioned before in previous blogs it is extremely eye catching and eco friendly. So it was only time before someone introduced a literature holder into the range to compliment the existing banner stands. So I have decided to review the Logik Literature Stand for you.

It is obviously made of bamboo and is floor standing but for its size is extremely lightweight – coming in at 4.7kg. It like most of its metal alternatives fully collapses making it easy to store and transport.  The Logik Literature Holder comes with its own carry bag which keeps it protected and again easy to move around.

The stand has 4 pockets that are designed to hold A4 literature and stands at 227mm high. It has a nifty little cut away at the top which is useful when you want to move it when full of leaflets.

I have had a few orders for the stand and most have been bought to compliment the Bamboo Banner Stands available on our site but I am finding because of the uniqueness more people are ordering them to use them in reception areas and board rooms. When I was testing the stand out I had it up at home and a friend popped in and she said it would look good as a magazine rack, not sure about that, but I think she meant being wood it looks nicer and more “homely” if that makes sense?

I for one will be using my Logik Bamboo Literature Holder over and above the metals ones, it looks good, lightweight but most importantly eco friendly! For more information on the stand please click the link Logik Bamboo Literature Holder

ps. The Show Store is running an offer on the stand for two weeks so get in now and get it cheap!

Every single month hundreds, possibly even millions, of business women as well as men travel by plane, road, train, metro, and coach to promote their wares or products and services at scores of exhibit halls, conventions and exhibitions all over the globe.

Whether or not it’s a one man operation creating presence inside a neighbourhood craft fair or even a consultant of a top 10 money making corporation putting together an exhibition booth at a mega show at the London Excel, they all have the exact same aim in mind – to produce a pro display that clearly and successfully markets their goods or their companies messages

Any person who has ever travelled in order to set up any sort of show or event stand is aware how hard it may be developing a portable, moderately priced and qualified unit. Not everybody has the funds to possess booths shipped or flown in as well as put together by expensive exhibition businesses. Some of us need to load our total stand in the van or plane or bus or even taxi, walk it to the actual exhibit hall, assemble it and still allow it to appear like an expert has created it. As a lot of of you know, this is no easy process.

We can concentrate on the one thing that is cheap light and can produce huge impact and best of all help to make you appear like a pro exhibitor, the Roll Up Banner Stand.

Roll Up Banners, also recognized as Pull Up Banners, Pop Up Banner Stands and Retractable Banner Displays, are a travelling exhibitors very greatest buddy.

Roll Up Banner stand is lightweight, generally weighing in less than 5kg. Due to the fact they’re so streamlined and light, they are extremely transportable.

The pop up banner stand can be an extremely cost efficient and easy to use display that enables you to very easily inter-change banner images because the graphics are external to the stand. Pop Up Banner Stands permit you to swiftly transform your marketing and advertising message with no need to return the whole stand for the supplier to fit new graphics. This is an essential element when comparing to some roll up banner stands where by the images aren’t interchangeable since the graphic is contained in the base.

L Banner or X banners are also lightweight when compared with most portable displays. Weighing just a few pounds, you’ll be able to move the banner to another area easily. These type of stands are very popular with people who have to travel abroad regularly to attend events or exhibitions.

Ease of assembly is an essential factor, you won’t have to waste time messing around trying to figure how it erects. Simply you use the adjustable or fixed height pole that the graphic very easily attaches to by clipping around the top and bottom rail. Most Pop Up Banner stands roll up into a lightweight tube or carry bag and comes with custom printed images. Usually for an additional charge metal more sturdy carry cases are available for use when maybe travelling and having to transport abroad.

The distinction between a X Banner and L Banner pop up stands is merely the frame. One includes a X Frame Shape and the other a L Frame, as simple as that! Pop Up Banners are perfect when you frequently change graphics around and don’t want to buy more hardware for each event.

Retractable Banners definitely have their admirers but if you’re looking at changing your graphics regularly then go for the Pop Up Banner, the are so cheap and easy to use.

What is the Variant among Literature Holders?

Precisely what can make a solitary literature stand £50 and another £250? Money/greed may well be part of it, even so you can find real variances that alter the price. Become acquainted with the subsequent points prior to searching for a movable literature display rack for your forth-coming event.

Where are on the globe it’s manufactured counts. The labour and shipping and delivery expenses have a serious impact on the final cost and quality of the product. Literature Racks produced inside of the Far East have reduced labour and operating cost expenses while those developed in North American or European cities tend to be more expensive. The consequence on quality is decided on the engineering, supplies and basic development management. A few stands have western designs constructed in far east factories, some utilizing the designer’s management guidance. You tend to find that Literature Stands made in the western world will be more pricey but will generally have improved guarantees. Nonetheless, Far Eastern created items have come a long way and also the quality has improved.

What the literature holder is constructed of may also affect the cost. Lighter weight options including material and/or unfinished racks, metal as opposed to aluminium, shorter versions and narrower units will minimize the costs..

Additionally remember that additional capabilities of the stand increase the production expenses therefore the price tag. These consist of wider storage areas to hold landscape as opposed to portrait leaflets. Depth of the pockets controls the total quantity of literature you’ll be able to exhibit. A 10 pocket screen with half inch deep pockets can only maintain half the number of publications containable inside a 5 pocket rack with two inch deep pockets. Take note – you need to think about how the storage compartments are made, can you see the whole of the products / services brochure?

I really do think however the better looking the stand the more expensive it tends to be. If nevertheless the holder suits your needs or you simply like the look of it the costs is probably justified!
