Tension Fabric Displays

What are Tension Fabric Displays?

Tension fabric displays provide a perfect backdrop for trade shows. The design is printed onto the tension fabric using a dye sublimation process, resulting in a high-quality image. These displays use a pillow-case design where the fabric slides over an aluminum frame, providing a tight, large display. Tension fabric displays are lightweight and easy to use, making them ideal for trade shows and other events.

Tension fabric displays come in two different types: straight and curved. Each type has three different sizes. They can be used for trade shows, conventions, photoshoots, weddings, backdrops, and other events. Assembly time takes less than 10 minutes.

Options & Accessories

Straight

Straight

The most common option is the straight tension fabric display. This comes in three sizes: 8ft, 10ft, and 20ft. Each straight tension fabric display comes with metal ‘feet’ that help keep it upright.

Curved

Curved

The other display option is curved. The curved tension fabric display comes in three sizes: 6ft, 8ft, and 10ft. Unlike the straight tension fabric display, the curved displays don’t have metal ‘feet’. Instead, they use the curved design to keep them upright.

Double-Sided

Double-Sided

All of our tension fabric displays have the option of being double-sided. Choose between the same design for double the visibility, or do a different design on the front and back to display two different messages!

Standard Soft Case

Standard Soft Case

By default, all of our tension fabric displays come with a soft canvas bag at no additional charge. The soft canvas bag comes with two handles, making it easier to transport. The soft case uses a zipper to open and close.

LED Lights

LED Lights

You may include LED lights with your tension fabric display. This option includes two LED lights (aside from the 20ft display, which comes with four) designed to easily mount to your tension fabric display.

These lights help brighten and draw more attention to your display. They are easy to install and plug into a regular AC outlet.

How to Assemble Your Tension Fabric Display

Tension fabric displays are quick and easy to set up. They can be set up by one person in 5-10 minutes.

How to Install Fleet Lettering

All of our fleet lettering comes pre-spaced and pre-masked with transfer tape, making installation a simple, all-at-once process. Follow the step by step instructions below to get it installed exactly as you envision it.

Instruction 1

Lay the poles out on the ground in the basic shape of the tension fabric display. Each pole is labeled with a numbered sticker. The numbers will match to show which sides should be connected. Ex. 1 matches with 1, 2 matches with 2, etc.

Instruction 2

While still on the ground, connect all the poles. The poles use a ‘push-button’ locking mechanism that secures the poles together. (If it is a straight display, you will need to connect the feet to the poles by screwing them in).

Instruction 3

Slide the tension fabric over the now assembled poles and velcro the bottom of the tension fabric display shut.

Instruction 5

Simply lift your Tension Fabric Display upright and voila! Your tension fabric display is ready to go.

Taking Care of Your Tension Fabric Display

Removing Wrinkles

Once stretched over the frame, all wrinkles should be removed due to the tension fabric material. If wrinkles still appear, we recommend using a low-powered fabric steamer to remove them.

Cleaning

The fabric of the tension fabric display can be machine washed with cold water on a low cycle setting. Do not use heavy detergents or bleach. Only air dry, do not use a tumble dryer.

Asked 7 months ago by amandamarks3@gmail.com
