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

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.

Q:
Can the frame be adjusted to create a curved display?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
The curved frame will fit a curved display, the straight frame will not. The 8ft and 10ft straight frames cannot be used with the 8ft or 10ft curved graphics and vice versa. They are not interchangeable.
Q:
Do you offer curved tension fabric displays?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Yes we do! We offer curved tension fabric displays in 3 different sizes: 6ft, 8ft, and 10ft.
Q:
Do you print double-sided tension displays?.How do I enable this option?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Yes, we do offer a double-sided option for our tension displays. To order a double-sided display, simply select the option in our design tool, then choose whether or not you want the same design on the back side or a different design printed there. You can design the back side of your tension display by clicking the ‘back side’ button under the design area.
Q:
Does the fabric display allow light to pass through it? Does it offer a degree of transparency?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
The stretchable fabric material allows very little to no light through it. There may be faint light visible through the display for lighter colored designs or bright lights directly behind the display. Otherwise, it is not designed to be transparent.
Q:
How does the display attach to the frame?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

The fabric display is easily attached to the frame by pulling it over the top of the frame. The elasticity of the material allows the display to fit snugly over the frames and is then secured using a velcro at the bottom to ensure the display does not slowly slip from the frame. This is commonly called a pillow case display.

Q:
What material is the frame made out of?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
The poles which make up the frame or stand are made from a lightweight aluminum, which give the display a rigid frame to be secured to while providing excellent lightweight portability.
Q:
Do the aluminum poles have bungee cords inside of them?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Yes. The individual poles have bungee cords inside them for easy set up.
Q:
Will the display sag or bunch up when displayed on the frame?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

When properly attached to the frame, with the velcro closed, your custom tension fabric display will not bunch up or sag when displayed. Tension provided by the frame will cause the display to remain taut and wrinkle free while being displayed.

Q:
Will my display have seams?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
There will be no seams in your tension display. There is stitching down the side of the fabric that is barely visible and will not affect the overall appearance of your display.
Q:
Are the edges of your tension fabric displays hemmed?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

There are no hemmed edges on the tension fabric display. The sides do have stitching that is unnoticeable when displayed. The velcro portion of the banner is concealed at the bottom of the fabric display and will not be visible when displayed.
