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 types of trade show displays can I choose from?

Most trade show display stands in this range use tension fabric: a printed fabric graphic that fits over a frame and pulls tight to create a smooth, seamless surface. The Premium Straight Tension Fabric Backdrop Display and the Curved Tension Fabric Portable Media Wall are the usual starting points for a backwall. Shaped options such as the S Shape Wave Fabric Display Wall or the 180° Curved Fabric Exhibition Booth Wall make a stand look more considered.

Pop up displays work differently. Frames such as the Portable Straight Fabric Pop-Up Wall and the Fabric Pop Up Curved Velcro Media Wall expand in one movement, and the graphic attaches on top, which suits exhibitors who want the quickest possible build. Banner stand trade show options, including the Budget Fabric Roll Up Banner and the Teardrop Fabric Roll Up Banner, are compact extras for an entrance, an aisle edge or a second event.

Arches, hanging banners and counters complete the picture. A Square Arch Fabric Trade Show Booth with Built-In Shelf or a C Shape Tension Fabric Arch frames the whole space. Sky Tube hanging banners make you visible from across the hall, and counters such as the Rectangle Fabric Display Counter give staff a branded point from which to greet visitors and hand out samples.

Which display size suits a 3x3m or 3x6m booth?

Start with the footprint on your exhibitor booking and any height limits in the venue manual. For a standard 3x3m shell scheme, a straight or curved backwall that roughly matches the booth width usually forms the main graphic, with a counter or roll up banner in front. Check each product's listed width and height, because displays such as the Portable 2.3m High Fabric Exhibit Display and the Portable 2.5m High Fabric Exhibit Display suit different wall and ceiling allowances.

A 3x6m space gives you room to combine formats. Many exhibitors pair a wider backwall with a C Shape Tension Fabric Arch - 6m, or run straight walls with a Premium Fabric Counter Display - 3m W in front. Modular trade show displays such as the Modular EZ Cubic Fabric Tower Display add height and depth without crowding the floor, and the Portable Straight Pop-Up Wall with Shelves lets you show products on the wall itself.

If your booth sits beside another exhibitor, the Small Portable Straight Fabric Backdrop - 3m W x 0.9m H can work as a low divider or table-height backdrop. When you are unsure, request a free design proof and include your booth dimensions. The team can show how your artwork sits on the size you are considering, so you can compare options before you commit.

Can I set up a trade show display myself?

Yes. Every display in this collection is designed to be carried in and built by your own team, with tool-free assembly, so there is no need to book an installer or bring tools to the venue. Tension fabric walls use frame sections that connect together before the printed graphic is fitted over the top, while pop up frames open out in one piece before the graphic attaches.

Displays arrive complete with the frame, printed graphic and carry bag, so everything travels together and nothing has to be sourced separately on the day. For exhibitors who move between several shows, the Premium Nylon Transport Bag is available as an extra storage option. A practice build at the office before the event is worth doing, especially for larger arches or multi-piece booth layouts.

Lighting is the most popular add-on. The Premium Straight Fabric Wall with LED Spotlights and the backwall kits with clamping lights come with lighting designed for the display. The Slim Fabric LED Backlit Exhibition Wall and the Popup SEG Backlit Counter are lit from within, which helps a smaller booth catch the eye under flat exhibition hall lighting.

Will the print quality look professional at the show?

Graphics are produced using dye-sublimation printing on fabric, a process in which the ink becomes part of the material rather than sitting on the surface. This gives your branding colour that holds up when visitors view it at close range, and fabric that can be packed down and reused rather than treated as a single-use banner.

Before anything is printed, you receive a free 2D design proof showing your artwork on the display you have chosen. Revisions are unlimited and there is no obligation to order, so you can check logos, text placement and colours with your team. Nothing goes to print until you approve it, and if a print error does occur, the graphic is reprinted free.

If sustainability is part of your brand story, PVC-free fabric options such as 600D eco polyester are available. Backdropsource has made custom printed fabric displays since 2004 and has delivered more than 100,000 custom products, giving smaller exhibitors access to the same fabric display formats seen on many larger stands.

How do I order a trade show display in time?

Work backwards from your show date. Choose the format and size, then request the free design proof as early as possible, because production starts within 24 business hours of your approval. The sooner your artwork is signed off, the more breathing room you have before bump-in. Check the estimated delivery for your order against your event date, and contact the team before ordering if your timeline is tight.

If you already own a compatible frame, you may only need a new print. Replacement graphics can be ordered for an existing frame, which suits businesses that rebrand, change offers or exhibit to different audiences across the year. This is a key reason to choose a fabric system over a one-off build: the frame becomes a reusable asset rather than something left behind after the event.

If a frame or accessory turns out to be the wrong choice, unused frames and accessories can be returned within 7 days. Printed graphics are made to order, so confirming sizes and artwork at the proof stage is the most reliable way to get your display right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are trade show displays? +
Trade show displays are the backdrops, banners, counters and arches that exhibitors use to brand their booth at an expo or conference. In this collection they are portable fabric systems, built from a reusable frame and a dye-sublimation printed graphic, so a small team can transport them, set them up without tools and use them again at future events.
What is the difference between a tension fabric media wall and a pop up display? +
A tension fabric media wall uses frame sections that connect together before a fitted fabric graphic is pulled over them, giving a smooth, seamless finish. A pop up display uses a frame that expands in one movement, with the graphic attached afterwards. Both are tool-free; pop up frames suit very quick builds, while tension walls offer more shapes and sizes.
How do I display products at a trade show booth? +
The simplest way to display products is to combine a branded backwall with shelving or a counter. The Portable Straight Pop-Up Wall with Shelves and the Square Arch Fabric Trade Show Booth with Built-In Shelf hold items at eye level, while counters such as the Oval Fabric Display Counter give you a surface for samples, brochures and demonstrations.
Do I need a counter as well as a backwall? +
A counter is not essential, but it helps when staff need a base for conversations, sign-ups or product samples. It also adds a second branded surface at eye level. Smaller booths often pair a straight backwall with the Table Pop Up Fabric Display Counter, while larger spaces may suit the Premium Fabric Counter Display - 3m W.
When should I choose a double-sided pop up banner? +
Choose a double-sided pop up banner when people will see the display from both directions, such as at a corner booth, an island stand or a walkway. The Horizontal Fabric Pop Up Banners and Vertical Fabric Pop Up Banners are printed on both sides, so the back of your display carries branding instead of showing a plain reverse.
Can a media wall be used as a step and repeat backdrop? +
Yes, the Tension Fabric Step & Repeat Display Wall is designed for repeating logo patterns behind speakers, award winners or photo opportunities. It works well at product launches and networking events as well as trade shows. Request a free design proof to check that your logo spacing and repeat pattern look balanced across the full width before printing.
Which trade show display is best for a first-time exhibitor? +
For a first show, a straight or curved tension fabric backwall paired with a roll up banner or counter is a dependable starting point. It fills a standard booth, is quick to learn and packs into a carry bag. Because replacement graphics can be ordered later, the same frame can carry updated branding at future events.
