I agree with the previous comments that pop-up vinyl bannerstands work really well for traveling displays. The print quality is nice and crisp, and our experience with 6 exhibits printed in this format has been very positive. Another benefit, considering the host venues that you are hoping to share your display with, is that the pop-up vinyl bannerstands are very user-friendly. The people who will be setting these up will likely have no previous experience in installing graphics - so anything that can be done easily, with no tools required, is a plus.
We ship this style of graphic all over the country, and can usually fit five banners in a plastic crate that is acceptable by UPS ground. Again, a plastic crate with wheel will make life easier for you and for the host venues for your display. The banners can also easily fit in a car, which might not be the case for rigid flat graphics.
I'm happy to answer any questions about our experience in sending out this kind of display. We are the national museum for Danish-American experience, so traveling exhibits are a key strategy for our museum reaching a national audience.

Hello! This summer, I created a new informational exhibit for a relatively small space. I sourced trade show style banners which look great in the space. They are a type of heavy vinyl with the graphics printed on them. They are held up with telescoping aluminum frames. The banners easily roll up and the whole setup fits nicely in a long box that would work for shipping. The banners have a loop at the top and at the bottom that cross pieces fit to keep the banner flat and smooth. The frames were good quality and were moderately priced, but the banners and printing were very affordable.
Let me know if you would like more information and details.
