Custom straight tension fabric displays for trade shows, events and presentations. Choose an 8ft, 10ft or 20ft display, single- or double-sided printing, and the package that suits your setup. We confirm the display, artwork, accessories, delivery and deadline through a quote before ordering.
Graphic + Frame or Graphic Only?
- Graphic + Frame: a custom-printed fabric graphic with interlocking aluminum tube hardware and stabilizing feet. A soft canvas carry bag is included with the frame package.
- Graphic Only: a replacement print for a compatible existing straight tension fabric frame. A new frame is not included. Send the frame model and existing graphic measurements so we can check fit.
- Printing: single-sided or double-sided dye-sublimated graphics on 8.8 oz. tension fabric.
- Optional accessories: hard case/podium, podium graphics and LED lights. The selected configuration is confirmed in your quote; not every accessory shown in examples is included.
The fabric graphic fits over the tubular frame like a sleeve and closes with a zipper. This is different from a silicone-edge panel. For a compatible SEG frame, see SEG replacement fabric graphics. For a custom-size fabric panel with hems or grommets, compare custom tension fabric printing.
What To Include In Your Quote Request
Send the display size, quantity, Graphic + Frame or Graphic Only package, one- or two-sided printing, case/podium and lighting choices, deadline, artwork status, and pickup or shipping preference. For a replacement print, include photos and details of the existing frame. Request a straight fabric display quote.
Artwork And File Preparation
- Use the template for the exact display size and configuration. Keep its artboard size and guidelines unchanged; place the design on the artwork layer and follow the template's instructions for removing guides.
- Preferred production files: a single-page PDF or JPEG in CMYK. Convert spot colors to CMYK and outline live fonts.
- For raster images at finished size, the listed recommendations are 150 ppi for 8ft and 10ft displays, and 120 ppi for the 20ft display.
- Do not add crop marks or extra bleed unless the confirmed template requires it.
- For different front and back artwork or a separate podium graphic, ask us how to supply the files. Contact us to arrange transfer of large files before sending them.
Artwork and production details are reviewed through the quote process. A proof is provided before production. A firm delivery date must be confirmed with us.
