So, ok you realize what a pop-up stand is, how on earth do you choose the best pop-up stand to match the needs you have?

Well the first thing you need to understand is how the sizes work on a Pop-Up stand. As opposed to everything else in life, which is calculated using either metric or imperial measurements, pop-up stands have their own unique measurement system!

Pop-Up stands are grouped and sized by the number of sections or ‘boxes’, which make up the shell of the Pop-Up stand.

Mostly pop-up stands tend to be three ‘boxes’ tall (that is the very first measurement) and usually come as normal in widths of one, 2, three, 4 & five ‘boxes’ wide. It is also worthy of noting that Pop-Up stands may come up to 5 ‘boxes’ tall and can be linked creating a virtually limitless length (as well as shapes!).

Next you should determine is whether or not you would like a curved or straight stand. The most popular choice is the curved unit(about 85% of sales) but that does not imply the straight version is not right for you. The best way to decide is to think about where your stand is going to be placed, if it’s in a corner then a curved is better, if it is along a wall structure and you have only a little space then the straight is most likely better suited.

Lastly, you should choose whether you would like a material or printed graphic option. The main difference between the 2 isn’t in the stand but the actual panels which are fixed to the face of it. Most people pick the printed graphic option because of the more professional look, which may be achieved with a huge personalised graphic. The material alternative is better suited for applications where the user would like the ability to regularly change their own graphics (usually by utilizing Velcro) for instance inside a foyer, college or even library.

Be very careful when you compare what seems like a like for like product, frequently they aren’t the same height or width! Several suppliers will pass off a mini or midi stand as the full size unit. So if for example, you are comparing 3×3 stands remember that the ‘boxes’ may be different dimensions among different products and brands. If in doubt always ask for the size of the stand in millimetres.

Only a few short years ago Pop-Up stands ended up quite infamous for being a nightmare to assemble, however nowadays as long as you recognize what you are searching for you can get some incredibly great stands which will ‘go up’ without a glitch in under two mins!

Right now there are a huge variety of Pop-Up stands on the market all of which fluctuate in quality of manufacture. Yes that is right possibly the best piece of information I can provide you with regarding Pop-Up Stands is that they aren’t all exactly the same! Numerous companies will wash over this particular simple fact since they’re attempting to sell you their cheapest possible stand so as to become more competitive or generate a better margin.

Think before you buy, ask plenty of questions and ensure you are getting a like for like quote for a proper comparison.
