Mad March: Buy a Roll Get a Free Banner Stand

Free retractable banner standWe’re not sure what it is about March, but madness is always around the corner, and here’s the latest: Buy a roll of LexJet Poly Select Blockout Fabric or LexJet 11 Mil Blockout PolyGloss and you’ll get a free Mosquito 800 Retractable Banner Stand.

This March Madness promotion is only available online with a limit of one per customer and it ends on March 31. Use promo code PGPSM when you go online to take advantage of this special promotion.

The Mosquito 800 Retractrable Banner Stand comes in three base widths – 31.5″, 47.25″ and 59″ wide – and comes complete with the base, snap-top rail, three-piece bungee poles and a carrying bag. It has an anodized silver finish, twin swivel feet for balance and stability and is lightweight.

LexJet Poly Select Blockout Fabric is a 14-mil bright-white polyester fabric with a blockout layer that provides greater opacity. Compatible with aqueous and latex inks, the fabric lays flat, minimizing edge curl and making it easy to work with in production.

“The image quality with the Poly Select Blockout Fabric is really good,” says Joe Batten, owner of JojoMonster Graphics in Venice, Calif. “We recently used it to print hanging banners at a charity event. We needed something lightweight that we could add rigidity to with pole pockets and dowels, and we didn’t want the light to show through and prevent the image from looking good on the printed side.”

LexJet 11 Mil Blockout PolyGloss includes a gray back coat for added opacity so that less light shines through the back of the graphics. It can be used as a cost-effective alternative to the typical polyester inkjet materials for trade show and retail display graphics, as well as long-term indoor and short-term outdoor banners.

The water-resistant material has a bright-white inkjet-receptive coating that provides additional color and contrast. It is available in a variety of widths (75-foot roll lengths) and are compatible with the latest aqueous inkjet printers from Canon, Epson and HP.

Promoting More than Beverages for Dew Downtown Flagstaff

They say everyone loves a parade, but be that as it may, Nackard Companies used a recent Christmas light parade in Flagstaff, Ariz., to promote the city’s upcoming Dew Downtown Flagstaff.Dew Downtown Flagstaff is an annual freeride ski and snowboard competition that plows through San Francisco Street, Flagstaff’s main drag. The course is strewn with urban obstacles – cars, tires, rails and barrels – which competitors navigate to the finish line, winners awarded with medals made by Nackard Companies with LexJet TOUGHcoat Water-Resistant Self Adhesive Polypropylene applied to metal.

Medals aren’t the only thing Nackard Companies and the beverage distributor’s P.O.P. shop manager Steve Lalio will make for Dew Downtown Flagstaff. Besides hundreds of signs for the event, Lalio also plans to wrap one of the 55-gallon barrels being used as an obstacle so it looks like a Mountain Dew can.

“They’ll put the barrel in the ground and put snow on top of it, so when the skier comes – they’re jumping over cars, tires, handrails and other urban obstacles along the way – this will be one of the obstacles they hit,” says Lalio, who adds that the event, which takes place Feb. 9-10, is open to skiers and snowboarders and practically all ages.

To make the event bigger and better each year, luring more sponsors and crowds to Flagstaff, the promotions are being ramped up. One of those promotional opportunities the Nackard Companies was involved with was the Christmas light parade. Nackard Companies decorated the Dew Downtown Flagstaff “float” with banners along the side, a Coroplast skier finishing a ramp ride and a large logo with the basic facts about the event.

Lalio printed everything on LexJet TOUGHcoat Water-Resistant Polypropylene. The prints weren’t laminated, except for the big logo circle since that particular piece will circulate around town at street corners and businesses to continually promote the event in town. The extra time out in the weather and the repeated handling necessitated the addition of the LexJet 5 Mil Luster Standard Low Melt laminate.
