Due to Hurricane Milton and the ongoing recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene, please understand there may be delays in delivery dates. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
The X-Frame Stand is made entirely out of fiberglass and aluminum, so it is both lightweight and very durable. The stands come in 3 different sizes. This display stand also comes with a FREE travel bag. Banner Included
X-Frame Banners print in full color on one side on a synthetic 10 mil White Matte Block-out Banner or 13 oz. Matte Vinyl and finished with 4 grommets. They come in 3 size options to match the corresponding size stands and can be rolled for storage.
Sizes 32 X 73 and 48 X 78 only available in the West Coast (WC) Production Zone. Allow for transit time.
Recommendations
The most common order options are 24" x 63" on 13 oz. Matte Vinyl. Almost always, X-Frame Banners print in full color on the front with no printing on the back (4/0).
To order additional banners for use with the stand that comes with the X-Frame with Banner, please check out X-Frame No Stand under Large Format.
Note: Because of the wide potential size range of our large format products, there are additional file setup considerations. Proofs are typically shown half size. For other details, please review the file setup section carefully.
Due to material, all substrates may expand or shrink from batch to batch, which makes exact cuts very difficult. We do not recommend borders. If you would like borders, please make sure they are at least 2" thick. We will not reprint if the borders are not exactly the same on all sides after cutting.
Marketing Tips
X-Frame Banners with Stand are used anywhere you would like to display large format freestanding graphics. They are most often used where portability is a key consideration, such as at trade shows, seminars, and presentations. X-Frame Banners with Stand are also a good idea if you would like to move them around within your business environment. Consider using them for storefront displays to showcase a new product or special. Our Banners exhibit a wide color gamut, so they are great for colorful graphics. X-Frame Stands come in 3 sizes to accommodate any of the 3 X-Frame Banner sizes we offer.

File Preparation
In order to ensure your files are print-ready, we recommend that you upload them in PDF format. When you generate a print-ready PDF, your computer will use the settings in Adobe Acrobat Distiller or any other PDF generating programs you may use. Please make sure that these are set properly before generating your PDF file.
If you are uploading PDF files created in Photoshop, please be sure all layers are flattened.
We also accept .JPG (JPEG), .EPS and .TIF (TIFF) file types, however PDF is the preferred format.
Check your file to make sure it meets our file creation guidelines. This will help speed up the production of your project and give your printed piece the best results.
Use the CMYK colorspace (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, blacK). These are industry standard printing colors. CMYK colors are different than RGB (Red, Green, Blue), which are used to display colors on your screen.
Use a minimum resolution of 150 dpi at 100% size for image files.
Specify trim area with crop marks. (Don't place crop marks inside the work area.)
Artwork should have 1/8" (0.125") bleed extending past the trim line to prevent minor cutting variations from leaving unintended results at the trim edge. Additionally, each corner should have 1 1/4" (1.25") bleed both horizontal and vertical to accomodate grommets.
Safe Area is the 1/4" (0.25") area inside the trim line. Do not put critical information or images within the Safe Area. This is to prevent minor cutting variations from leaving unintended results at the trim edge.
If you want printed borders, they must be placed a minimum of 1/8" (0.125") inside the trim line and include bleed. This is to prevent minor cutting variations from leaving unintended results at the trim edge.
File Orientation
Please click the link below for an explanation of file orientation.
Note:If a job is placed as 4/4 and only one file is uploaded, prepress will automatically use the file for both sides of Large Format rigid products unless the artwork depicts an arrow. If only one file is uploaded for a 4/4 order and the artwork depicts an arrow, prepress will reject the job and request new files. This is to ensure your print does not have arrows facing opposite directions on either side of the final printed piece.
We require that you extend any images that run up to the trim line a minimum of 1/8" (0.125") past the trim line to create "bleed". Depending on what program you use to create your file, this may or may not change the total image area of your file. Programs like Photoshop that do not allow the creation of "bleed" or the addition of crop marks will require an image area that is 1/4" (0.25") larger than your desired final overall image area in both dimensions.
Safe Area is the 1/8" (0.125") area inside the trim line. Do not put critical information or images within the Safe Area. This is to prevent minor cutting variations from leaving unintended results at the trim edge. If you choose to make less than this minimum clearance, we will NOT be responsible for items that are cut off in this area.
Proofs and File Check
X-Frames offer two proof options:
Online PDF Proof: You will be sent a link to view your proof via email. Please keep in mind that this is only a proof for content and positioning; the color on your screen may vary from the color of your final product, depending on your monitor and viewing conditions.
No Proof, Run As-Is: This option is for the industry professional who is certain their project is ready to hit the press and does not require the additional security of a proof.
File Check:
If our prepress department sees anything questionable with your file, we will contact you via email with our concerns. Should prepress email you, please note that your job is not considered fully submitted until you respond to this email. This should be factored into your turnaround time.File check does not apply to No Proof, Run As-Is. No Proof, Run As-Is jobs print from the exact file(s) you upload unless it is not possible to print because your supplied file does not match the specifications ordered.
How to check your Online PDF:
The black crop marks indicate the final trim size. The Red line ( Dashed ) indicates the (Score) The Green line ( Dashed ) indicates the (Perf). The Red Line (Solid) indicates the ( Cut or Trim ) line.
The verbiage on the file, this will indicate the page position after folding.
Please Note: The charge for our technical team to review your file when first submitted is included in the price of your order. If they note technical concerns with your file, they may email you with their concerns so you can upload a corrected file. If subsequent uploads still contain errors, you may be charged an additional prepress fee to review your file again.
