Tension Fabric Displays

A tension fabric display stretches a dye-sublimated fabric graphic — like a pillowcase — over a lightweight tubular aluminium frame. It is the most portable way to put up a full-size branded backwall: the frame snaps together in minutes with no tools, the fabric zips or slides on, and the whole thing packs into a compact bag.

What is a tension fabric display?

A stretch fabric graphic pulled taut over a collapsible tubular frame. The fabric is dye-sublimated for full-colour, wrinkle-resistant print and is machine washable, so the display stays crisp show after show.

Why choose tension fabric?

Tension fabric vs pop-up displays

Both are portable backwalls. A tension fabric display uses a single stretch graphic over a tube frame — very light and a fully seamless surface. A pop-up display uses an accordion frame with panel graphics — extremely fast to set up and a proven classic. Choose fabric for the lightest pack-down and a seamless look; pop-up for the quickest setup.
