What is a Fabric Pop Up Display?

A fabric pop up display consists of a collapsible frame usually made from aluminum tubing and fabric graphics. The graphics are hung on the frame after it’s expanded or remain on the frame (both open or closed). Most come in three sizes: 10 ft., 8 ft., and tabletops but the design configurations vary and include squares, rectangles, triangles, and curves. Most include LED stem lights.

What Are the Most Popular Pop Up Fabric Display Options?

What used to be an easy question is now not so easy. Many exhibitors love the convenience of a single large graphic whereas others prefer multiple smaller graphics which can be rearranged, removed, or replaced depending on the show. Recently, there’s been a surge in backlit pop up fabric displays. They’re slightly more expensive but offer a visual “color pop” that’s hard to miss.

Are Self-Locking Pop Ups a Good Option for Tension Fabric Pop Ups? I Have Seen Them Advertised on Other Websites.

Self-locking pop-ups are perfect for Velcro-compatible fabrics and murals, but are not ideal for tension fabric graphics We use a frame with manual locks because it creates a more rigid structure that evenly pulls out any wrinkles or folds in the fabric graphic. The result is a taut flat graphic that mimics a hard panel graphic.

Use a good quality fabric on a structure (like Vburst) that when set up pulls the wrinkles out of the fabric. Carry a small travel steamer in your display case. These are inexpensive and simple to use. The steamers can lift out any remaining wrinkles after your set-up.
