Tension Fabric Displays

What Is a Tension Fabric Display?

Tension fabric and stretch fabric pop up displays are typically exhibits that employ a stretchy, dye-sublimated polyester fabric, that is pulled over and around a pre-assembled lightweight frame to create a colorful and modern display. These innovative trade show displays are useful for multiple applications due to their ease of use and bright, full-color designs. Benefits of exhibiting a tension fabric display include:

• Professional, full-color printing
• Easy, lightweight travel
• Simple & quick setup & breakdown
• Machine washable fabric graphics
• Inexpensive replacement prints

Unlike conventional pop up displays, our stretch fabric displays are designed to be compact, lightweight and travel-friendly: the use of the snap-click system to put the frame together means that our tension fabric displays can be assembled by just one person. Each wall frame section is connected by a piece of elastic cord, so you don’t have to worry about losing a piece for future shows.

That same system that makes disassembly a snap also makes it easy to transport. Since most of the pieces are connected, they shrink down to fit easily inside the included carry bag. Weight is no issue, either: the largest wall we sell (20’) weighs in at just 30 pounds, making our tension fabric trade show displays easy to carry or ship.

Tension Fabric Displays for Trade Shows

Make an impact at your next trade show or with your next product promotion with a fully custom-printed fabric display from Vispronet.  We offer an array of tension fabric display systems ranging from banner stands to oversized stretch backdrops. Each product is printed on our durable, wrinkle-resistant knitted polyester using the dye sublimation printing process for exceptionally vibrant color reproduction. 

Tension Fabric Wall Displays

We offer four different styles of tension fabric walls to be used as a backdrop within a trade show booth. These include our Straight Wall, Curved Wall, Wave Wall, and Vertical Curve Wall. All these styles offer multiple sizes and a unique head turning design – meaning you aren’t limited to a flat display surface. The expanding hardware is aluminum and designed for easy, lightweight travel. Setup of these tension fabric displays is simple and fast; it includes snapping poles together and can be installed in minutes. Each tension fabric wall display has the option to print just the front of the design or to print double-sided for maximum exposure.

Tablet Kiosk Stand

Our Custom Tablet Kiosk Stand combines the classic look of a printed display with modern mobile kiosk technology. Unlike our competitors’ offerings, our kiosk comes custom printed on both the front and back of the display, on a flame-retardant, polyester tension fabric. The tablet or iPad displayed is highly secured and can only be removed with the included hex keys. The aluminum hardware is lightweight and is easy to setup and breakdown. We offer two different styles of the kiosk: one with brochure holders and one without.

Stretch Fabric Display Stands

We offer three additional styles of unique fabric graphic dislpays: Cobra, Curved, and Pillowcase Banner Stands. Each has an attractive head-turning design and showcases your marketing message. Each of these tension fabric displays offers the option for both front and back printing. All three are constructed from aluminum frames for easy travel and can be assembled in minutes with pillow case slip covers. A fourth option, the suspension banner stand, also supports polyester prints with grommets and spring attachments to the frame. These displays are perfect for more spacious applications like large retail stores, airports, shopping malls and trade show booths.

Where are tension fabric displays typically exhibited?

Due to the diversity of product styles including tension fabric backdrops, kiosks, and banner stands, these display systems are used for an array of applications. These applications include trade show booths and expos, churches and places of worship, museums, showrooms, large hotels, movie theatres, retail outlets, financial institutions, schools and colleges, airports and many more.

What materials are offered?

Our custom tension fabric displays are produced from our Display Polyester material. This knitted fabric is nearly opaque and is wrinkle-resistant and flame-retardant with a very slight stretch and glossy finish. The Weight:5.03 oz/yd ². This type of polyester displays full, vibrant colors well - and is very durable for machine washing and repeated use.

Is your tension fabric transparent and can light to pass through it?

No, our fabric is not transparent. Our Standard Polyester is nearly opaque but not completely. It does let a small amount of light to pass through it in lighter colors but nothing noticeable, especially indoors.

Is your Custom Tablet iPad Kiosk printed on both sides?

Yes! Unlike most of competitors, our tablet trade show displays are covered in your custom design, front and back – for no extra charge. This is especially useful in applications where the kiosk won’t be up against a wall, and people are able to see it from all angles.

What are your frames constructed from?

Most of our hardware for our stretch fabric displays is constructed from aluminum, with some bases being powder-coated steel. There are multiple benefits of using aluminum for applications like these including its light weight and its sturdiness. An additional benefit of the light weight is easier travel to shows and events.

How are your tension fabric displays printed?

All our tension fabric is printed using a dye sublimation printing process. This printing method makes for exceptionally vibrant, full-color designs. It involves turning ink from a solid state to a gas state and applying directly into the target canvas (product). This makes for exceptional color reproduction and is far more scratch and fade-resistant compared to other, inferior printing methods.

Does your tension fabric tear easily?

No. Our knitted Standard Polyester should not tear or rip unless punctured by something sharp like a knife or scissors. This material is very durable and there shouldn’t be any issues with tearing or ripping.

Do your stretch walls come in only one size?

No, we offer multiple sizes for each tension fabric wall display and our curved fabric display walls ranging from 8ft up to 20ft. It is important to choose the correct size for your application.

Is it easy to travel with stretch fabric displays?

Due to the light weight of the frames and foldable fabric, weight is not an issue if traveling. Each tension fabric display frame breaks down or collapses into a small form that is easy to carry around. Each order comes with a complementary carry bag to make travel even easier.

Can I display my exhibits outdoors?

Yes, you can use stretch fabric graphics outdoors in good weather. We don’t recommend using them outdoors very often or for very long as they are constructed from lightweight aluminum. A slight wind and dirty ground water/mud could easily damage or soil your display. 

Am I able to just buy hardware? Able to just buy a print?

Yes! Unlike most of our competitors we have the option if you just need hardware or you just need a new print. When you are configuring your tension fabric display on the product page, navigate to the first drop down menu under “Order Type”. Click the dropdown and choose your selection before adding it to your shopping cart.

What if I make a small mark or stain on my display? Can I clean the fabric graphics?

Yes! Small marks or stains can be removed with a soapy warm cloth. We recommend not using any harsh chemicals or heavy soaps as these may leave lasting damage to the stretch fabric.

If your fabric is getting dingy or dirty, simply throw it in a washing machine and wash it with a gentle cycle. Hang dry. This should keep your fabric clean and looking as good as new!

How should I store my fabric pop up display?

Store your tension fabric graphic separately from the hardware. Store both separately in a cool, dry place out of sunlight.

Which file types can I upload for my design?

We accept multiple file types. We advise you submit on a template as a PDF file for both Mac and PC. Also we accept Photoshop® and Illustrator® file types. The remaining acceptable file types include: PDF, .AI, .EPS, .PSD, .JPG, and .TIFF.

Does a carry bag come standard for each order?

Yes, each tension fabric display order comes with a complementary carry bag.

Is the frame hardware adjustable to different sizes?

No, the size you configure will be the only size the product allows. However, we do offer multiple sizes for our stretch walls.
