My first time using Backdrop source and so far they have been a pleasure to work with. They have been extremely helpful throughout the process. Definitely give them a chance.

Wow! My banner added new life to my exhibition. The quality of the print was great and the cool bag that the pieces came in made it even more professional.

What is a pop up display and how does it work?

A pop up display is a portable, freestanding backdrop made from a collapsible frame and a custom-printed fabric graphic. The frame expands from a compact bundle into its full shape, and the graphic fits over it to create a smooth branded wall, banner or grid. It is the usual choice for exhibitors who need a credible presence at a trade show, expo, conference or sponsor event without hiring a stand builder.

Every display in this collection is printed using dye-sublimation, which bonds the ink into the fabric rather than leaving it sitting on the surface. Each order arrives complete with the frame, the printed graphic and a carry bag, so there is nothing extra to source before your event. Because the frame and graphic are separate, you can keep the frame and order a replacement graphic whenever your branding or campaign changes.

Which pop up display shape is best for my booth?

Start with your space and how visitors will approach it. A straight wall such as the Portable Straight Fabric Pop-Up Wall suits shell-scheme booths and tight backwalls. The Fabric Pop Up Curved Velcro Media Wall wraps gently around the people standing in front of it, which works well for open stands and photo backdrops. Both give you one large, uninterrupted surface for your logo, headline and imagery.

If you need presence rather than a full wall, the pop up banners stand on their own, and most shapes are printed on both sides. Horizontal, vertical, triangle, semi-circle, round and tower styles help you mark an entrance, sit beside a table or catch attention down a busy aisle. The Custom Printed Fabric Retractable & Collapsible Display Panel is a compact option for small stalls and counters.

For a modular look, the Fabric GeoMetrix Pop Up Grid Displays come in 1 x 3, 2 x 2, 2 x 3 and 3 x 3 configurations, as well as X, Double X and small, medium and large triangular shapes. Grids suit brands that want a feature wall that stands apart from standard rectangular backdrops.

Are pop up stands easy to assemble on your own?

Yes. Every pop up stand in this range is designed for tool-free assembly, which matters when one person is unloading a car and setting up before doors open. The frame opens out, locks into shape and takes the fabric graphic, then collapses again at the end of the day. There are no screws to keep track of and no rigid panels to line up.

Fabric graphics are lighter and less fragile than rigid printed panels, so a complete pop up wall is easier to carry through a venue, store in an office cupboard and take to the next show. The supplied carry bag keeps the frame and graphic together, which helps when the same display is moved between expos, conferences and in-store promotions throughout the year.

Will a fabric pop up display match my brand colours?

Dye-sublimation printing produces vivid, consistent colour on fabric and a smooth finish that looks clean in event photos and social media posts. Before anything is printed, our design team prepares a free 2D design proof so you can check your logo position, text and layout on the exact display you have chosen. Revisions are unlimited and there is no obligation to order.

Nothing goes to print until you approve the proof, and production starts within 24 business hours of that approval. If a print error occurs on our side, the graphic is reprinted free. For brands with sustainability goals, PVC-free fabric options such as 600D eco polyester are available, so your display can look the part without relying on vinyl.

Can I add lights, shelves or double-sided printing?

Yes. If your event hall is dimly lit or you want your logo to stand out from neighbouring booths, choose the Fabric Popup Straight Backwall Kit with Clamping Lights or the Fabric Popup Curved Backwall Kit with Clamping Lights. The lights clamp onto the frame and direct light onto the graphic, so your branding stays clear from across the floor.

For product launches and retail-style stands, the Portable Straight Pop-Up Wall with Shelves gives you somewhere to place samples, brochures or giveaways without bringing a separate unit. The Portable Pop-Up Display Wall with Shelving (Dual-Side Print) adds printing on both faces, so it can work as an island display or divider that looks finished from every angle.

Is a pop up display better than a roller banner?

A roller banner is a single narrow panel, which is useful for signage but rarely fills a booth. A pop up wall creates a full backdrop that frames your stand, gives visitors something to photograph and makes a small business look established beside larger exhibitors. Double-sided pop up banners add visibility from more than one direction, which a flat roller banner cannot offer.

A pop up display is also built for repeated use. The frame can be set up and packed down event after event, and fresh graphics can be ordered for the same frame when your message changes. Unused frames and accessories can be returned within 7 days, and Backdropsource has been producing custom fabric displays since 2004, with more than 100,000 custom products delivered.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a pop up wall and a pop up banner? +
A pop up wall is a large backdrop that forms the back or side of your booth, while a pop up banner is a smaller freestanding shape placed around your space. Walls give you one big branded surface for logos and photos. Banners such as the round, triangle or tower styles add extra visibility at entrances, beside tables or along aisles.
Are pop up banners printed on both sides? +
Yes, most of our pop up banners are double side printed, including the horizontal, vertical, triangle, semi-circle and round styles. This means your branding is visible from both directions, which is useful in open spaces and busy walkways. Check each product page for the printing option on the tower banner and the other displays before ordering.
What is a GeoMetrix pop up grid display? +
A GeoMetrix pop up grid display is a modular fabric display built on a geometric frame rather than a single flat wall. It comes in 1 x 3, 2 x 2, 2 x 3 and 3 x 3 grids, plus X, Double X and small, medium and large triangular shapes. It suits brands wanting a feature wall with a distinctive outline.
Do the pop up backwall kits come with lights? +
Yes, the Fabric Popup Straight Backwall Kit and the Fabric Popup Curved Backwall Kit both include clamping lights. The lights attach to the frame and illuminate the printed graphic, helping your logo stand out in dim exhibition halls. If you do not need lighting, the Portable Straight Fabric Pop-Up Wall and Curved Velcro Media Wall offer the same wall formats without it.
Which pop up display is best for a small market stall? +
For a small market stall, the Custom Printed Fabric Retractable & Collapsible Display Panel or a vertical double-sided pop up banner is usually the best fit. Both take up little floor space, set up without tools and pack into a carry bag. Add a round or triangle banner if you want extra visibility from the walkway.
Is a curved pop up media wall better than a straight one? +
A curved pop up media wall is better for open stands and photo areas, while a straight wall is better for booths with fixed backwalls. The curve wraps around visitors and adds depth in photos. A straight wall sits flush against shell-scheme panels and makes the most of narrow spaces where every bit of width counts.
Can a dual-side printed pop up wall be used as a divider? +
Yes, the Portable Pop-Up Display Wall with Shelving (Dual-Side Print) is printed on both faces, so it looks finished from either side. That makes it suitable as a divider between zones, an island display in the middle of a stand or a feature in a showroom where visitors walk all the way around it.
