How to Set Up a Retractable Banner | CORAM DEO × iHeartCustoms
CORAM DEO is an organization that traveled from Brazil to Orlando for an event. Before they arrived, they coordinated their event printing — a custom retractable banner and 2,000 flyers — remotely with iHeartCustoms through WhatsApp. Production was completed locally in Orlando. When CORAM DEO arrived, their event materials were ready.
This guide covers the retractable banner setup as demonstrated in the CORAM DEO project video — and the operational principle the project demonstrates for any international organization traveling to Orlando for an event: production does not have to wait until you land.

How to Set Up a Retractable Banner
Taking Down the Banner
Detach the top of the graphic from the pole. Hold the base securely and guide the graphic back into the base slowly — controlled retraction protects the print surface and the spring mechanism. Never allow the graphic to snap back freely. Once retracted, disassemble the pole and return all components to the carrying case.
The CORAM DEO Project: Coordinated From Brazil
CORAM DEO was traveling from Brazil to Orlando for an event and needed a custom retractable banner and 2,000 printed flyers produced locally. Rather than transporting display hardware internationally, they coordinated the entire project remotely with iHeartCustoms through WhatsApp before departure. By the time CORAM DEO arrived in Orlando, production was complete.
The Operational Lesson
Don't make your arrival date your production deadline. International organizations traveling to Orlando for events can begin coordinating local production before departure — artwork review, quantity confirmation, production scheduling, and deadline planning can all happen remotely. The production partner is in Orlando. You don't have to be.
For organizations traveling into Orlando from Brazil, the UK, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Germany, or anywhere else — the CORAM DEO project demonstrates that local Orlando production can be arranged before the flight lands. Text or WhatsApp iHeartCustoms at (407) 808-9631 with your event date, arrival date, what you need, quantities, and artwork status.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you set up a retractable banner?
Remove the base unit and pole sections from the carrying case. Place the base on a flat, stable surface in your desired display location. Assemble the support pole by connecting the sections together by hand. Attach the assembled pole to the base. Pull the banner graphic upward steadily from the base to full display height. Secure the top of the graphic to the top of the pole at the provided attachment point. Confirm the graphic is taut, the display is level, and the base is stable.
Can international organizations coordinate retractable banner printing in Orlando before arriving?
Yes. The CORAM DEO project demonstrates this directly — CORAM DEO coordinated its retractable banner and flyer production with iHeartCustoms remotely from Brazil before traveling to Orlando. Project details, artwork, quantities, and deadlines were coordinated through WhatsApp before arrival, and iHeartCustoms completed production locally in Orlando. International organizations traveling to Orlando for events can contact iHeartCustoms before departure to discuss qualifying projects and production timelines.
Can I coordinate an Orlando printing project through WhatsApp?
Yes. The CORAM DEO project was coordinated through WhatsApp, which allowed remote communication between the Brazil-based organization and iHeartCustoms in Orlando before and during the project. WhatsApp can be a practical communication channel for international clients coordinating production remotely. Text (407) 808-9631 to connect with iHeartCustoms.
Should international exhibitors bring their retractable banners on the plane?
Not necessarily. Depending on the project and timeline, retractable banners and event collateral can be produced locally in Orlando by iHeartCustoms, eliminating the need to travel with bulky display hardware. The CORAM DEO project demonstrates that production can be coordinated remotely before arrival so materials are ready when the organization lands. Whether local production is the right choice depends on the specific project, timeline, and production requirements.
What should I send an Orlando printer before traveling for an event?
Before traveling to Orlando for an event, contact iHeartCustoms with your event date, arrival date, event venue or hotel, what materials you need and in what quantities, artwork files or design details, and your required completion deadline. The earlier you make contact, the more production options are available. Do not make your arrival date your production deadline — begin the conversation before your flight.
How early should I contact an Orlando printer before an international event?
Contact iHeartCustoms as early as possible — ideally before you purchase your travel so production can be confirmed within your overall event timeline. At minimum, contact iHeartCustoms before your departure date so there is adequate time for artwork review, production, and any adjustments. Waiting until arrival in Orlando reduces the available production window and limits options for rush or same-day needs.
How do you take down a retractable banner?
Detach the top of the banner graphic from the support pole. Hold the base unit securely and guide the graphic back into the base slowly and with control — do not release it and allow it to snap back freely, as this can damage the print surface or the retraction mechanism. Once fully retracted, disassemble the pole sections and return all components to the carrying case.
Can iHeartCustoms print event flyers for international organizations traveling to Orlando?
Yes. iHeartCustoms produced 2,000 printed flyers for CORAM DEO as part of the same project that included a custom retractable banner — coordinated remotely from Brazil before the organization's Orlando event. Flyers, postcards, and printed collateral can be included in an Orlando local-production project alongside banners and other event display materials.
Where can I order a custom retractable banner in Orlando for an international event?
iHeartCustoms produces custom retractable banners in Orlando for international organizations, exhibitors, and event teams traveling into the Central Florida market. Projects can be coordinated remotely before arrival. Text (407) 808-9631 or visit the Same-Day Emergency Convention Printing page to discuss your project and production timeline.
What if I am already in Orlando and need a retractable banner urgently?
Same-day and rush retractable banner printing is available at iHeartCustoms in Orlando for qualifying orders — even after arrival. Availability depends on artwork readiness, quantity, and current production capacity. While the CORAM DEO project demonstrates advance coordination before travel, last-minute needs once you are already in Orlando can also be discussed. Text (407) 808-9631 immediately with your event date, what you need, and artwork status.
