Banner Stand and Brochure Holder Profit Center

Printing a banner with a holder for brochuresLexJet customer specialist Michael Clementi recently approached me with a fantastic idea for local businesses, like real estate agencies, that pass out collateral materials – brochures and sales sheets – as a matter of course.

Michael explains: “Our customers are always looking for new ways to make money with their printers. The Expand BrochureHolder banner stand is perfect for going after local real estate companies. The banner stands have a lifetime warranty and you can rent or sell them outright, adjusting the price accordingly.

“If you rent them to a realtor who’s holding open houses for, say, $40 a day, then you only have to rent it three times to show a profit on the stand, not to mention the money you make printing the graphics.

“I recommend LexJet TOUGHcoat Water-Resistant Polypropylene, one of LexJet’s Opaque Display Films (5.5 Mil Matte, 6.5 Mil Gloss Opaque or 10 Mil Opaque), Water-Resistant Satin Cloth, or one of our new Poly Select fabrics for an elegant, flowing look.”

Thanks Michael… And if you’re looking for good ideas to build business and the best products to do it with, contact Michael or any LexJet customer specialist at 800-453-9538.

Buy an Expand Banner Stand, Get 25% off a Roll of Expand Certified Media

Banner stand display inkjet printingHot on the heels of the announcement that LexJet and Expand International have partnered to provide Expand’s line of banner stands – most of which come with a lifetime warranty – you’ll get 25 percent off a roll of LexJet media certified for the banner stands when you buy an Expand banner stand.

Qualifying certified media includes LexJet 5.5 Mil Matte Opaque Display Film for aqueous printers and LexJet Satin Light Block Polyester (7 Mil) and LexJet Satin Light Block Polyester (9 Mil).

LexJet 5.5 Mil Matte Opaque Display Film is a scratch-resistant polyester film that’s 100 percent opaque, ensuring a clean, durable image that won’t be overwhelmed by light streaming through the back of it and revealing the hardware behind the image. If you choose this Expand certified media and buy a LexJet Elite laminate to go with it, you’ll get 30 percent off the laminate as well.

LexJet Satin Light Block Polyester, 7 Mil and 9 Mil, doesn’t require lamination and is also a 100-percent opaque polyester film that can be used with solvent, low solvent, UV-curable and latex inks.

Expand banner stands you can choose from include:

  • Expand MediaScreen 1: Retractable display with an adjustable telescopic pole
  • Expand MediaScreen 2 Indoor: Two retractable banner stands in one with a clamping profile so the pole doesn’t protrude above the image
  • Expand MediaScreen 2 Outdoor: Double-sided display with support feet, a resilient support pole for added stability and made with weather-resistant materials
  • Expand MediaScreen XL: Patented magnetic connectors allow users to easily link two or more displays
  • Expand MediaScreen 4: A great choice for users who need to change the image frequently
  • Expand QuickScreen 1: The standard for retractable banner stands features a compact shape and timeless design for almost any environment

More than a Sale: Significant Price Reductions on Inkjet Blockout Films

Inkjet printing banner stand display graphicsHere’s a refreshing change of pace in a world gone haywire with rising commodity prices: LexJet has actually reduced the price of its Opaque Display Films – 6.5 Mil Gloss Opaque Display Film and 10 Mil Opaque Display Film – by up to 17 percent. Both polyester films are compatible with aqueous inkjet printers. This is not a limited-time promotional offer, but the new price going forward for these two high-quality inkjet imaging films.

Plus, first-time buyers of any LexJet Elite laminate get 30 percent off their first purchase. In addition to the price reduction and 30 percent off LexJet Elite sale for first-time buyers of the laminate, both Opaque Display Films come with a Lifetime Warranty when combined with LexJet’s Elite Polycarbonate and Elite Coex (5, 10 and 15 Mil) laminates.

Jason Price, owner of GraphX Direct, says they use LexJet 6.5 Mil Gloss Opaque Display Film laminated with LexJet Performance Textured Polypropylene Laminate (5 Mil) for the bulk of their retractable banner stand graphics. For display graphics applications, GraphX Direct laminates the 6.5 Mil Gloss Opaque Display Film with Elite Textured Coex Laminate (15 Mil).

“You just can’t compare the combination to any other product for retractable banner stands. We use it to set our banner stands and graphics apart because it images super clean and super sharp, plus the color matching is dead on every time,” says Price. “Curl is also a big deal and over the years I’ve tried all kinds of media for banner stands and this combination has proven to be the best to eliminate edge curl.”

For more information about the Lifetime Warranty, the new lower prices and to take advantage of both, contact a LexJet customer specialist at 800-453-9538.
