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.

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

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.

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.

“Looks great! I'm just not sure if it has a very sturdy stand. It kind of feels like it will blow over easily, unlike the smaller tension fabric displays with heavy bottoms.”

Q:
How many watts are the LED lights?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Each LED light is 40W. We’ve found that these are perfect to add a touch of light to your beautiful display but not be so overwhelming that it distracts from the display or booth itself.
Q:
How do I set up my tension fabric display?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Assembling your tension fabric display can be done in a few simple steps and is easily done when you follow the instructions included. To help explain the process, we have included a step-by-step list below. Included in the frame set are 4 main poles and 2 L-shaped pole connectors. The pole frame set employs a push-button locking mechanism that secures the poles together, with an inner bungee cord that aids in the assembly process. The poles are labeled at each end with a numbered sticker, which corresponds to a number on the connecting pole part. The side labeled ‘1’ will attach to another side labeled ‘1’ and so on and so forth. We will refer to the individual poles by the numbers on each end (for example, 2-3 is the top pole and 1-6 is one of the side poles). Construct the frame on the ground to help aid in the ease of assembly. First, you will insert the side poles (1-6 and 4-5) into the bottom pole (5-6). To insert the poles into the corresponding end, press down on the silver button and push the end of the pole into the opening until the silver button clicks into place. Once each side pole is attached to the base pole, attach the L-shape pole pieces (1-2 and 3-4) to the top pole (2-3). Attach the completed top piece to the two pole sides of the bottom piece. With the frame constructed it’s time to slip the display over the top of the frame. Have the front of the display facing forward and carefully put the display on the frame as you would slip a pillow case on a pillow. The tension material will allow the display to stretch to fit the frame, creating a snug hold on the frame. When the fabric display is fully over the frame, use the velcro on the bottom of the display to secure it in place on the frame. Place the completed frame set on the bases, which fit into the bottom of the poles at each side of the frame. Now that the tension display is completed, and with the help of another person, elevate the display to its upright position.

Q:
How do I store my display?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
We recommend storing your display in the provided carrying case with the fabric display removed from the frame.
Q:
My display is wrinkled - how do I remove the wrinkles?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Any wrinkles present on your display can be removed simply by attaching it to the display frame. The nature of the tension fabric prevents wrinkles from being seen when stretched over the frame. Fold lines and creases could be present when first unwrapped from being shipped. If need be, a handheld steamer will help quickly remove any unwanted wrinkles or creasing. Do not iron the display, doing so could permanently damage your display.
Q:
How do I wash my display? Can I use a washing machine to clean my display? What about a tumble dryer to dry it?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

The tension fabric display is machine washable with cold water on a low cycle setting. Do not use any heavy detergents or bleach when washing the display. Only allow the display to air dry. Do not use a tumble dryer, this will cause warping of the fabric and possible damage to the printed design.
