Every event in Dubai starts with the same question: "what size roll-up banner do I need?" — and half the banners at any exhibition are the wrong answer: too small to read from the aisle, or too big for the corner they stand in. This guide covers every size we print at MaxPrint, what each one is actually for, and the real price of each — so you order once, correctly.
Quick answer: the standard roll-up banner size is 85 × 200 cm and costs AED 190 at MaxPrint, printed full colour with the stand and carry bag included. Bigger formats: 150×200 cm for AED 950, 200×200 cm for AED 1,550, and the giant 300×200 cm wall for AED 1,680. Production 2–4 working days, 48h express available.

How to pick the right size (the 3-second rule)
A person walking past gives your banner about three seconds. From 3 metres away, your headline needs to be readable at a glance — that means the 85×200 works when people pass close (corridors, entrances, next to a counter). If your audience stands further — across an exhibition aisle, at a stage — jump to 150×200 or wider, because doubling the width more than doubles the reading distance. And if the banner IS the destination (a photo wall, a press backdrop), go 200×200 or 300×200.
Roll-up vs popup vs backdrop — which one do you need?
- Roll-up banner (from AED 190): one-person setup, travels in a car boot, perfect for shops, clinics, receptions and small booths. The workhorse.
- Popup display 3×3m (AED 3,990) or 4×3m (AED 4,620): a full curved wall that folds into a case — this is your GITEX/DWTC booth back wall. Add the popup counter (AED 2,040) and your stand is complete.
- Backdrops & standees: wooden-frame and fabric photo walls for events and weddings — measured and quoted to your space.
- Flex banners: outdoor banners printed by the metre for fences, construction sites and storefront covers — send dimensions on WhatsApp for a same-day quote.
Design rules that make banners work
Top third = logo and one headline. Eye-level is prime real estate; the bottom 50cm is often blocked by tables and crowds — never put your phone number there. One message per banner: a banner is a billboard, not a brochure — headline, 3 bullets maximum, one QR code linking to WhatsApp. High contrast: Dubai venues are brightly lit; dark text on light background reads twice as far. Send your file as PDF with 3mm bleed at the exact size — or send us your logo and offer on WhatsApp and our designers build the layout with a free proof before printing.
