Packing

How each portable display stand travels

Weight, carry case and setup method matter most when you carry the exhibition display yourself to expos and trade show events.

At the show

Quick setup for a portable backdrop at trade shows

A pop up exhibition backdrop opens out in one piece, so it is the quickest to stand up. A tube frame takes a few more steps but packs into a smaller bag.

WaveLine Display Wall panels are listed at five to ten minutes each. The SEG pop up with LED light is listed at about ten minutes.

Fabric graphics fit by zip on tube frames and by Velcro, also called hook-and-loop, on the Textile pop up, giving a smooth face with no panel joins across your brand.

  • Check the packed size against your car boot or courier limits
  • Wheeled cases help portability through long exhibition halls
  • Lay the graphic on a clean surface before fitting it
  • Keep the bag at the back of the stand for the pack down
  • Swap in interchangeable graphics for different events on the same frame

Frequently asked questions

What is the lightest portable exhibition wall?
A WaveLine Display Wall D or E panel at 4.49kg packed. For a full 3m backdrop, a WaveLine 10ft tube display is 7.2kg.
What is a portable exhibition backdrop stand?
It is a lightweight aluminium frame with a printed fabric graphic that forms the back wall of your exhibition stand. It packs into a carry case or bag, so you can take it from show to show.
Which is the best pop up booth display?
For the lightest pop up system choose the SEG 3x1 at 6.6kg. For a wide straight backdrop, the Textile 3x5 reaches 3730mm.
Are fabric graphics better than a magnetic pop up display?
A magnetic pop up display uses rigid printed panels that need a hard case. Fabric folds into a bag, which keeps a portable backdrop light.
Can one person set up a portable backdrop?
Yes. Every frame here is easy to assemble without tools, and the pop up frames open out in one piece.
Which portable backdrops come with a wheeled case?
The Textile and SEG fabric pop up walls. WaveLine tube displays come in a travel bag made from 100% recycled materials.
Is a 3m x 4m pop up available?
The largest pop up here is the OneFabric 4x4 at 2997mm x 2997mm. For a wider wall, the Textile 3x5 pop up is 3730mm wide.
Is a fabric backdrop better than a roller banner?
A roller banner is one narrow printed panel. A portable backdrop covers the whole back of a stand, and you can still add banner stands at the front.
Can I change the graphic later?
Yes. Keep the frame and order a new printed fabric graphic for the same size when your branding changes.
Will the graphic crease in the bag?
Printed fabric graphics fold into the bag and pull smooth when the frame is under tension.
Can I link backdrops together?
WaveLine Display Wall panels are designed to stand side by side, so you can build a longer backdrop from several panels.
How do I order printing for my stand?
Choose your frame and size, then upload artwork or ask for our in-house design. Your exhibition stand printing is checked before it goes to print.
