A standee could be cut too, if these need to be re-used.

Last time we had a good balance of neutral (Fedora Project) and
event-specific banners and standees.  The neutral ones can be re-used;
we even gave some off to other ambassadors from the region the last
time so they can use them.

However, storing the non-cloth banners is a big problem - they go bad
after a while (colour fades off, the material sticks, so it has to be
separated and that means damage).  So these are usually unsuitable
after a while.

So cloth is a better option for re-use in that sense -- storage is
easier and they won't go bad.

Even then, I think we should have both, event-specific and neutral
banners / standees.  There needs to be awareness of a conference
happening rather than just a project's promo materials at the venue.

We should do both.  Also, the generic ones can be used for booth space
in later events.

In general, I agree we should look at using cloth-based material for
these banners/standees.
