Blade
The banner stand that survives the show and the one after it.
Most banner stands are bought on price and replaced within a year. Blade is specified the other way round. The base is a 9-inch footless extrusion with faux-chrome end caps, which keeps it stable without a protruding foot to trip over, and the pole is a bungee-corded three-piece that assembles in the right order on its own.
The graphic is eco-solvent printed on 13oz curl-resistant PET with a grey light-blocker backing, so the pole does not shadow through when the stand is lit from behind — the failure mode that makes cheap stands look cheap.
Three widths — 24, 36 and 48 inches — are designed to be used together, so a row of them reads as one wide banner or as three distinct messages. Every Blade ships with a padded nylon carry bag.

Common questions
Why does a banner stand need a light-blocker backing?
Without one, light from behind the stand passes through the graphic and the support pole shows as a dark stripe down the middle of your message. The Blade graphic uses a grey light blocker to prevent this.
