Vibrant Pop Up Displays Make a Big Impact at Tradeshows & Other Events

Posted on September 07, 2018 | Posted by Kris Williamson

Custom printed pop up displays are a great way for businesses and organizations to strengthen their brand, sell a product or service, or communicate a message. They're easy to transport and setup, which makes them ideal for portable advertising. Here are a few of the most popular pop up displays we create for our clients.

Curved Displays

Curved pop up displays provide an elegant, professional look. The graphics are printed on multiple panels that attach to the front of a collapsible framework using magnets or velcro. The two end cap panels wrap around and cover the sides of the frame. This configuration makes these displays very easy to customize. Curved displays are perfect for tradeshows, marketing events, conventions, as well as car showrooms and other areas that could benefit from portable advertising.

We created the eye-catching, custom display pictured above for the duPont Registry. Available in straight or curved designs, this display’s magnetic system allows for quick and easy assembly. Two stem lights and a black molded plastic travel case also accompanied this display. Along with a set of two retractable banners that we custom printed for duPont, this pop up display was designed to leave a beautiful impression!

We created the vibrant curved display in the photo below for MapleTronics Computers. This particular model came with a printed graphic case which converted the shipping case to a podium. Now that's convenience!

Tensioned Fabric Displays

Another form of pop up display, called a tensioned fabric display, also provides a quick, easy way to make a big impression during trade shows and other events. These displays are built on an expandable, lightweight aluminum frame that locks in place. The graphic is printed on high quality fabric and attached to the frame using velcro, hooks and loops, or other methods. The frame collapses with the printed fabric attached and stows easily in a durable carrying case. This display is available in a variety of sizes.  

We worked with Cyrus Trust to create the 20’ x 10’ tensioned fabric display shown in the picture below. This particular display used hooks and loops to attach the fabric to the display. You can also see a photo of the back of the display, showing the aluminum framework.

Here’s another great example of a tensioned fabric display. This 10’ wide pop up wall was custom printed for the Nashville Soccer Club (NSC.) NSC provided the logos for the “step and repeat” graphics. Step and repeat means the logo or artwork is repeated on the background to create a simple, but beautiful backdrop, perfect for photographs. As an official partner of the NSC, we’re honored to provide all the custom signage needs for this record-breaking team.

Backwall Displays

Another type of tensioned pop up display, called a backwall display, consists of a lightweight tubular aluminum frame with a fabric “pillowcase.” The printed pillowcase pulls over the frame and zips into place, creating tension to smooth and flatten the graphic. These displays look elegant and are easy to setup and tear down, which makes them perfect for the red carpet, tradeshows and other special events.

We recently created two back wall displays for the movie premiere of Beautifully Broken right here in our lovely town of Franklin, TN. The picture below shows one of the displays.
