About Fabric Display Stands

Fabric display stands are becoming increasingly popular in the display marketplace. They are lightweight cost-effective and impactful. This guide will explain what fabric displays stands are their benefits and how to choose the best fabric display solution.

What are Fabric Display Stands?

Fabric display stands are lightweight and portable promotional displays made from stretchy fabric material, which has a custom graphic printed onto it, which is then slid easily over the frame. They are used primarily at exhibitions and in retail and popular product ranges include fabric pop up stands and banner stands.

They consist of a lightweight aluminium frame that is supplied in short sections. These sections are numbered for ease of assembly and simply slot together without the need for any tools of experience. Once the display frame is assembled the pillow like graphic is slid over the frame and zipped up. The slight stretch in the fabric keeps your graphic under tension, taught and crease free which means you can fold it up between events. This makes fabric roll display stands and fabric pop up stands popular alternatives to traditional pop ups and banner stands.

The graphics are printed using the latest dye sublimation techniques. Dye-sub printing gives the longest lasting print available, ideal for busy trade shows. The result is truly outstanding. Vibrant colours are fused into the material for exceptional durability. Perfect for pop display as well as exhibitions.

A modern twist on pop up displays designed for quick and simple set up without fuss. And when your marketing message changes no need to order a new indoor frame just a set of graphics which can be changed as you require.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can your fabric displays stretch?

Not the frames themselves but the graphics do. The fabric is a stretchy polyester fabric, allowing them to stretch over the frame for a smooth, taut surface.

Why are fabric displays popular?

Fabric displays have become popular in the last few years for a number of reasons. They are quick and simple to assemble without the need for tools, and the hardware is a lot lighter and easier to transport than traditional pop ups. The high quality graphic is seamless with the added advantage of being Washable, Crease Resistant & Fire Retardant. We offer a wide range of styles and sizes to suit any location and budget.

What material are the tension fabric displays made of?

The frames are made from aluminium tubing which is both strong and lightweight. The graphic is made from elastic polyester, specifically designed to be durable and provide a high quality graphic, while stretching over the display frame.

What's the difference between straight and curved tension fabric displays?

Straight displays take up less space making them ideal as a back wall to a shell scheme stand for example but they do have feet for extra stability. Curved displays are stable without feet but have a larger footprint and take up more floor space.

Can tension fabric displays be used as photography backdrops?

Yes, they are perfect for use as backdrops. The graphic is seamless to make a great backwall for photography.

What are fabric displays popular for?

Fabric displays are popular for various purposes including: Press and media backdrops, Photo shoots, Conferences, Exhibition stands & Trade Shows, New Product Launches, Open Days at Schools, Colleges And University, Shopping centred retail displays, Awards ceremonies and Galas, Showrooms, Festivals, Craft fairs, and Sports VIP backdrops.

Does the fabric lose stretchability with overuse?

No, the elastic polyester maintains its stretchability well over time, typically lasting 3+ years with proper care.

Is the frame of the fabric display adjustable?

No, the frame size is fixed and not adjustable but the wide range of sizes and shapes means there is a fabric display stand to suit your space.

Can I adjust the frame to switch between curved and straight displays?

No, the frames are specific to their shape. Curved frames fit curved displays, and straight frames fit straight displays; they're not interchangeable.

Do you offer curved tension fabric displays?

Yes, we offer curved tension fabric displays in a wide range of sizes from 2m up to a huge 6m wide.

Can you print on both sides of the tension displays?

Yes, as standard we offer double-sided printing. This gives you maximum exposure for your branding. We print in full colour using high quality dye sublimation printing for stunning results.

Does the fabric display allow light through?

The fabric is mostly opaque, allowing minimal light through. Light colours and bright lights behind the display might show faintly through.

How is the display attached to the frame?

The graphic simply slides over the frame like a pillow case. Once on the frame, there is a subtle zip at the bottom to secure it in place.

What material are fabric tube display frames made from?

The frame is made of lightweight 32mm aluminum tube, providing a sturdy yet portable structure.

Do the frame poles have bungee cords?

Yes, the poles have internal bungee cords for easy setup. Each pole is numbered so assembly is very simple.

Will the display sag or bunch up on the frame?

No, the large diameter tubes are very stable and any movement in the frame is taken up by the elasticity of the fabric. The display will stay taut and wrinkle-free, without sagging or bunching.

Will my display have visible seams?

No. That is one of the main advantages of these displays. Your tension display will not have visible seams. Any stitching on the sides is minimal and won’t affect the display's appearance. The zip is hidden on the bottom of the graphic too.

What printing process is used for tension fabric displays?

We use dye sublimation for vibrant, long-lasting designs on tension fabric displays. The dye-sublimation process uses heat and pressure to fuse the dye into the fabric, resulting in a permanent, vibrant full-colour print. The high quality print will not crack, peel or fade over time, and graphics can even be machine washed.

Is the finish on the fabric displays matte or gloss?

The tension fabric displays have a matte finish which works well under indoor lighting such as exhibition halls.

Will the fabric display rip or tear easily?

With proper assembly, display, and storage, the fabric should not rip or tear. However, it can be damaged by sharp objects or improper handling so please follow the care instructions.

Can I use stretch fabric displays outdoors?

Tension fabric displays are intended for indoor use. Using them outdoors may reduce their lifespan and they are not suited for inclement weather. We have other outdoor display options for such needs.

Are the tension fabric displays weather resistant?

They are designed for indoor use. While they can be used outdoors temporarily under certain conditions, they are not weatherproof and can be damaged by the elements and even slight winds could topple them over.

Can I secure my display with ropes or strings?

Since our tension fabric displays are made for indoor use, they don't have anchor points for ropes or strings.

Will the design on the display fade or scratch off over time?

The dye sublimation printing process is very durable. The inks are fused into the material. It won’t crack or scratch off and can be machine washed at 30 degrees. With proper use it will last a long time.

Can I use lights with my fabric display?

Yes. Our most popular are our 10W (1000 lumen) LED lights. We also have 12W Pro floodlights, as well as a range of striplights. Both types include a clamp to securely clip onto the top of the frame.

How do I set up the optional LED lights?

Your LED light kit includes half-moon shaped fittings that attach over the top pole. The power wires drop behind the display are hidden from view where you connect them to a power source.

How do I assemble my tension fabric display?

Follow the numbered stickers on the poles for easy assembly. You don’t need tools they simply push together. Secure them with the push-button mechanism, then slip the fabric over like a pillowcase. Full instructions are included with your purchase.

What’s the best way to store my fabric display?

Store your display in the provided carrying case, with the fabric removed from the frame.

How can I remove wrinkles from my display?

Wrinkles typically stretch out when the fabric is attached to the frame. For persistent wrinkles, gently use a handheld steamer. Do not iron the display.

Can I machine wash and dry my display?

Yes, you can machine wash the display at 30 degrees. Allow it to air dry, and do not use a tumble dryer.

Can I buy replacement graphics for my fabric display?

Yes, if your marketing message changes or you just want different graphics for different events replacement graphics are available for all our fabric displays.
