Automatic Pop-Up Square Exhibition Counter with Custom Fabric Printing (800mm)
Flat-packed to fully branded workstation in seconds. The POP800SQ is a patented automatic pop-up exhibition counter that rises from its carry case under its own spring-loaded power, pulling the dye-sublimated fabric skin drum-tight across the frame as it opens. No tools. No complex assembly. No standing over a flat-pack with instructions while the doors open and visitors arrive. The counter pops up, the fabric pulls taut, the countertop goes on and your lead-capture station is live. At 800mm wide and 1000mm tall, this is not a narrow podium. It is a proper working surface wide enough and sturdy enough for laptops, tablets, product samples and merchandise, with a private rear area that hides staff belongings, spare stock and empty boxes behind a clean, branded front face.
Custom fabric printing is included. Place your order, receive your artwork template, prepare your design and send it back. A real member of our UK print team reviews your files before production begins. Your counter arrives with the branded fabric skin installed and ready to deploy the moment you open the carry case.
What This Pop-Up Counter Delivers That Standard Exhibition Counters Cannot
- Patented automatic pop-up mechanism: The internal spring-loaded frame rises from the carry case under its own power, pulling the tension fabric skin taut as it opens. The mechanism transforms the counter from flat-packed to structurally complete in seconds. No tools, no loose parts, no assembly sequence to learn. Staff who have never seen the counter before can deploy it first time without guidance.
- Drum-tight, crease-free fabric skin: The dye-sublimated tension fabric is engineered to pull taut across the frame as the counter pops up, eliminating wrinkles, creases and sag automatically. There is no smoothing, no ironing, no steaming at the venue. The fabric arrives installed, the counter opens, and the branded surface is presentation-ready the moment it locks into position.
- 800mm square working surface: At 800mm wide, this is a genuine workstation, not a narrow podium. The countertop provides enough usable real estate for a laptop, a tablet, product samples, brochures and a scanner or card reader simultaneously. Wide enough for two people to stand behind comfortably during a busy period. Sturdy enough to hold up to 20kg of equipment and materials.
- Hidden rear storage: Exhibitions are messy. The 800mm square footprint and 480mm depth create a private rear area behind the branded fabric face that hides staff bags, jackets, spare brochures, empty packaging and personal belongings. The front-facing brand stays pristine. The operational clutter stays invisible. No exposed storage boxes. No visible cables. No mess.
- Interchangeable, washable fabric skins: The tension fabric cover is removable, machine washable and replaceable. Buy the premium hardware once and update the branded skin for every new campaign, product launch or seasonal promotion. Your cost per event goes down the more campaigns the counter carries. Replacement skins are produced by our UK print team on the same dye-sublimated fabric.
- Packs away in under 10 seconds: When the event ends, the counter collapses back into its carry case in under 10 seconds. The fabric stays installed on the frame. No disassembly. No folding parts. No loose components. From standing counter to packed carry case faster than any traditional exhibition counter on the market.
- 20kg countertop load capacity: The flat countertop supports up to 20kg of equipment, which covers laptops, tablets, product displays, literature stacks and promotional materials. A functional working surface, not a decorative shelf.
Where This Instant Workstation Performs
| Exhibition Stands and Trade Shows | An instant lead-capture station that deploys in seconds while competitors are still assembling their counters. The 800mm width provides a proper working surface for laptops, lead scanners and product demos. The hidden rear area keeps the stand tidy throughout the day. |
| Product Demonstrations and Sampling Events | A product demonstration hub with enough countertop space for samples, materials and equipment. The drum-tight fabric skin wraps the counter in branded graphics on all visible faces, turning the counter itself into a branded display. |
| Retail Pop-Ups and In-Store Promotions | A branded workstation that deploys on the shop floor in seconds without disrupting trading. The carry case fits through standard doorways and lifts. The pop-up mechanism means one member of retail staff sets it up without training. |
| Corporate Events and Conferences | Registration desks, sponsor activations and information points that project a professional brand presence from the moment the first delegate arrives. The interchangeable fabric skin updates for each event without replacing the hardware. |
| Roadshows and Mobile Sales Teams | A portable branded counter that lives in the boot of a car and deploys at client sites, showrooms and event venues. The 10-second pack-down and carry case make it practical for teams that move between locations daily. |

The Displaysense Automatic Pop-Up Square Exhibition Counter (POP800SQ) is a patented self-rising exhibition counter with spring-loaded mechanism, dye-sublimated tension fabric skin, flat countertop (20kg capacity) and carry case. Dimensions: 1000mm (H) x 800mm (W) x 480mm (D). Graphic area: 1002mm x 1480mm. Pops up from carry case in seconds. Packs away in under 10 seconds. Fabric is drum-tight, crease-free, interchangeable and machine washable. Custom fabric printing included. 800mm square provides usable working surface and hidden rear storage. Suitable for exhibitions, trade shows, product demonstrations, retail pop-ups, corporate events and roadshows. Also available in oval pop-up format (POP600OV). Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
Every exhibition morning starts the same way. The doors open at 7am. Setup closes at 9am. In between, you are assembling a counter, ironing wrinkles out of a fabric cover, rearranging parts that do not fit together intuitively and trying to make the whole thing look professional before the first visitors arrive. The POP800SQ removes all of that. Open the carry case, release the mechanism and the counter rises under its own spring-loaded power. The dye-sublimated fabric skin pulls drum-tight across the frame as it opens, eliminating wrinkles and creases automatically. Place the countertop on top. You are done. From carry case to fully branded workstation while the exhibitor on the next stand is still reading the instructions for theirs.
The 800mm square footprint is what separates this from the narrow podiums that most pop-up counters provide. At 800mm wide, the countertop has enough usable surface for a laptop, a lead scanner, a stack of brochures and a product sample display running simultaneously. Two members of staff can stand behind it comfortably during a busy spell. The 20kg load capacity means it functions as a genuine working surface, not a decorative shelf that wobbles under the weight of a tablet stand. This is an instant workstation, not just a branded column.
Behind the branded fabric face, the 480mm depth creates a private rear area that solves the problem every exhibition team knows: where to put everything else. Staff jackets, bags, spare brochures, empty boxes, phone chargers and personal items all go behind the counter, invisible to visitors. The front-facing brand stays clean. The operational reality stays hidden. That concealed storage space is one of the practical details that separates a well-run stand from one that looks like a stockroom by lunchtime.
The tension fabric skin is interchangeable and machine washable. When the campaign changes, the branding updates without replacing the hardware. A new dye-sublimated fabric skin produced by our UK print team slides onto the frame and pulls taut the next time the counter pops up. The hardware is the long-term asset. The branded skins are the consumable. Over a twelve-month exhibition schedule, that economics shifts the cost from replacing counters to updating graphics, which is where the return on the initial investment is realised.

Questions About the POP800SQ Automatic Pop-Up Exhibition Counter
Q: How does the automatic pop-up mechanism work?
A: The counter frame contains a patented spring-loaded mechanism. When you release it from the carry case, the frame rises under its own power and locks into position automatically. The dye-sublimated tension fabric skin pulls taut across the frame as it opens, eliminating wrinkles and creases without any manual smoothing. Place the countertop on top and the counter is ready. No tools, no assembly instructions, no loose components.
Q: Is 800mm wide enough to use as a proper working surface?
A: Yes. At 800mm wide, this is a genuine workstation, not a narrow podium. The countertop accommodates a laptop, a tablet or lead scanner, product samples and stacked brochures simultaneously. Two staff members can work behind it comfortably during busy periods. The 20kg load capacity means it functions as a working desk, not a decorative surface.
Q: Is there storage space inside the counter?
A: Yes. The 800mm x 480mm footprint creates a concealed rear area behind the branded fabric face. Staff bags, jackets, spare brochures, empty packaging, phone chargers and personal belongings all store inside the counter out of sight. The front-facing brand stays clean and professional. Visitors only see the branded surface.
Q: What does drum-tight tension fabric mean?
A: The dye-sublimated fabric is engineered to stretch taut across the frame as the counter pops up. The spring-loaded mechanism applies tension to the fabric automatically, pulling it flat with no wrinkles, creases or sag. There is no ironing, no steaming and no manual smoothing at the venue. The branded surface is presentation-ready the moment the counter locks into position.
Q: Can I replace the branded fabric for a different campaign?
A: Yes. The tension fabric skin is interchangeable. When the campaign changes, contact our team and we produce a new dye-sublimated skin for the same counter frame. The fabric slides onto the frame and pulls taut the next time the counter pops up. Buy the hardware once. Update the branded skin as often as you need. Your cost per event goes down with every campaign the counter carries.
Q: Can I wash the fabric?
A: Yes. The tension fabric removes from the frame and is machine washable. After a multi-day exhibition where the fabric has accumulated dust, marks or fingerprints, wash it and reinstall it for the next event. The dye-sublimated print is integrated into the fabric fibres, not printed on the surface, so the colours hold their vibrancy through washing.
Q: Is the custom printing included in the price?
A: Yes. Full-colour dye-sublimated fabric printing is included. The graphic area is H 1002mm x W 1480mm, wrapping the visible faces of the counter. A real member of our UK print team reviews your artwork before production. Your counter arrives branded and ready to deploy.
Q: Do I need my artwork ready before placing the order?
A: No. We send a personalised artwork template within 24 hours with exact dimensions and graphic guidance. Production starts only after our print team has reviewed and approved your design.
Q: How long does it take to pack the counter away?
A: Under 10 seconds. The counter collapses back into its carry case with the fabric still installed on the frame. No parts to disassemble. No fabric to fold separately. From standing counter to packed case in moments. This is particularly valuable at the end of an exhibition day when you need to clear the stand under time pressure.
Q: How heavy is the counter and is it portable?
A: The counter is designed for portability. It packs into a carry case that one person can transport through standard doorways, lifts and corridors. The carry case fits in a car boot for roadshows, mobile sales and multi-venue event schedules.
Q: How much weight can the countertop support?
A: 20kg. That covers a laptop, a tablet stand, a lead scanner, stacked literature and product samples running simultaneously. The countertop is rated as a functional working surface, not a lightweight shelf.
Q: Is this counter suitable for permanent retail use?
A: The counter is primarily designed for exhibition, event and pop-up deployment where the automatic setup and rapid pack-down are the core advantages. It can be used in semi-permanent retail environments, but for a permanent counter with internal shelving and a wood countertop, our rectangular exhibition counter range provides a heavier-duty solution designed for continuous daily use.
Q: Is there a smaller version available?
A: Yes. The POP600OV is an automatic pop-up oval counter at 600mm wide with the same patented mechanism and dye-sublimated tension fabric. It is designed for narrower floor spaces and smaller exhibition stands where the full 800mm width is not needed.
Q: Can one person set this counter up alone?
A: Yes. One person opens the carry case, releases the mechanism, lets the counter rise and places the countertop on top. The entire process takes seconds and requires no tools, no training and no second pair of hands. It is the fastest counter deployment on the exhibition floor.
Guides for Making Your Exhibition Stand Perform
A pop-up counter is the operational hub of your stand. The businesses that get the most from their exhibition investment are the ones that think about layout, lead capture and how each display element works together to convert foot traffic into conversations. These guides cover the practical side.

Description
Every exhibition morning starts the same way. The doors open at 7am. Setup closes at 9am.

A: Yes. The 800mm x 480mm footprint creates a concealed rear area behind the branded fabric face. Staff bags, jackets, spare brochures, empty packaging, phone chargers and personal belongings all store inside the counter out of sight. The front-facing brand stays clean and professional. Visitors only see the branded surface.
Q: What does drum-tight tension fabric mean?
A: The dye-sublimated fabric is engineered to stretch taut across the frame as the counter pops up. The spring-loaded mechanism applies tension to the fabric automatically, pulling it flat with no wrinkles, creases or sag. There is no ironing, no steaming and no manual smoothing at the venue. The branded surface is presentation-ready the moment the counter locks into position.
Q: Can I replace the branded fabric for a different campaign?
A: Yes. The tension fabric skin is interchangeable. When the campaign changes, contact our team and we produce a new dye-sublimated skin for the same counter frame. The fabric slides onto the frame and pulls taut the next time the counter pops up. Buy the hardware once. Update the branded skin as often as you need. Your cost per event goes down with every campaign the counter carries.
Q: Can I wash the fabric?
A: Yes. The tension fabric removes from the frame and is machine washable. After a multi-day exhibition where the fabric has accumulated dust, marks or fingerprints, wash it and reinstall it for the next event. The dye-sublimated print is integrated into the fabric fibres, not printed on the surface, so the colours hold their vibrancy through washing.
Q: Is the custom printing included in the price?
A: Yes. Full-colour dye-sublimated fabric printing is included. The graphic area is H 1002mm x W 1480mm, wrapping the visible faces of the counter. A real member of our UK print team reviews your artwork before production. Your counter arrives branded and ready to deploy.
Q: Do I need my artwork ready before placing the order?
A: No. We send a personalised artwork template within 24 hours with exact dimensions and graphic guidance. Production starts only after our print team has reviewed and approved your design.
Q: How long does it take to pack the counter away?
A: Under 10 seconds. The counter collapses back into its carry case with the fabric still installed on the frame. No parts to disassemble. No fabric to fold separately. From standing counter to packed case in moments. This is particularly valuable at the end of an exhibition day when you need to clear the stand under time pressure.
Q: How heavy is the counter and is it portable?
A: The counter is designed for portability. It packs into a carry case that one person can transport through standard doorways, lifts and corridors. The carry case fits in a car boot for roadshows, mobile sales and multi-venue event schedules.
Q: How much weight can the countertop support?
A: 20kg. That covers a laptop, a tablet stand, a lead scanner, stacked literature and product samples running simultaneously. The countertop is rated as a functional working surface, not a lightweight shelf.
Q: Is this counter suitable for permanent retail use?
A: The counter is primarily designed for exhibition, event and pop-up deployment where the automatic setup and rapid pack-down are the core advantages. It can be used in semi-permanent retail environments, but for a permanent counter with internal shelving and a wood countertop, our rectangular exhibition counter range provides a heavier-duty solution designed for continuous daily use.
Q: Is there a smaller version available?
A: Yes. The POP600OV is an automatic pop-up oval counter at 600mm wide with the same patented mechanism and dye-sublimated tension fabric. It is designed for narrower floor spaces and smaller exhibition stands where the full 800mm width is not needed.
Q: Can one person set this counter up alone?
A: Yes. One person opens the carry case, releases the mechanism, lets the counter rise and places the countertop on top. The entire process takes seconds and requires no tools, no training and no second pair of hands. It is the fastest counter deployment on the exhibition floor.

Automatic Pop-Up Square Exhibition Counter with Custom Fabric Printing (800mm)
Flat-packed to fully branded workstation in seconds. The POP800SQ is a patented automatic pop-up exhibition counter that rises from its carry case under its own spring-loaded power, pulling the dye-sublimated fabric skin drum-tight across the frame as it opens. No tools. No complex assembly. No standing over a flat-pack with instructions while the doors open and visitors arrive. The counter pops up, the fabric pulls taut, the countertop goes on and your lead-capture station is live. At 800mm wide and 1000mm tall, this is not a narrow podium. It is a proper working surface wide enough and sturdy enough for laptops, tablets, product samples and merchandise, with a private rear area that hides staff belongings, spare stock and empty boxes behind a clean, branded front face.
Custom fabric printing is included. Place your order, receive your artwork template, prepare your design and send it back. A real member of our UK print team reviews your files before production begins. Your counter arrives with the branded fabric skin installed and ready to deploy the moment you open the carry case.
What This Pop-Up Counter Delivers That Standard Exhibition Counters Cannot
- Patented automatic pop-up mechanism: The internal spring-loaded frame rises from the carry case under its own power, pulling the tension fabric skin taut as it opens. The mechanism transforms the counter from flat-packed to structurally complete in seconds. No tools, no loose parts, no assembly sequence to learn. Staff who have never seen the counter before can deploy it first time without guidance.
- Drum-tight, crease-free fabric skin: The dye-sublimated tension fabric is engineered to pull taut across the frame as the counter pops up, eliminating wrinkles, creases and sag automatically. There is no smoothing, no ironing, no steaming at the venue. The fabric arrives installed, the counter opens, and the branded surface is presentation-ready the moment it locks into position.
- 800mm square working surface: At 800mm wide, this is a genuine workstation, not a narrow podium. The countertop provides enough usable real estate for a laptop, a tablet, product samples, brochures and a scanner or card reader simultaneously. Wide enough for two people to stand behind comfortably during a busy period. Sturdy enough to hold up to 20kg of equipment and materials.
- Hidden rear storage: Exhibitions are messy. The 800mm square footprint and 480mm depth create a private rear area behind the branded fabric face that hides staff bags, jackets, spare brochures, empty packaging and personal belongings. The front-facing brand stays pristine. The operational clutter stays invisible. No exposed storage boxes. No visible cables. No mess.
- Interchangeable, washable fabric skins: The tension fabric cover is removable, machine washable and replaceable. Buy the premium hardware once and update the branded skin for every new campaign, product launch or seasonal promotion. Your cost per event goes down the more campaigns the counter carries. Replacement skins are produced by our UK print team on the same dye-sublimated fabric.
- Packs away in under 10 seconds: When the event ends, the counter collapses back into its carry case in under 10 seconds. The fabric stays installed on the frame. No disassembly. No folding parts. No loose components. From standing counter to packed carry case faster than any traditional exhibition counter on the market.
- 20kg countertop load capacity: The flat countertop supports up to 20kg of equipment, which covers laptops, tablets, product displays, literature stacks and promotional materials. A functional working surface, not a decorative shelf.
Where This Instant Workstation Performs
| Exhibition Stands and Trade Shows | An instant lead-capture station that deploys in seconds while competitors are still assembling their counters. The 800mm width provides a proper working surface for laptops, lead scanners and product demos. The hidden rear area keeps the stand tidy throughout the day. |
| Product Demonstrations and Sampling Events | A product demonstration hub with enough countertop space for samples, materials and equipment. The drum-tight fabric skin wraps the counter in branded graphics on all visible faces, turning the counter itself into a branded display. |
| Retail Pop-Ups and In-Store Promotions | A branded workstation that deploys on the shop floor in seconds without disrupting trading. The carry case fits through standard doorways and lifts. The pop-up mechanism means one member of retail staff sets it up without training. |
| Corporate Events and Conferences | Registration desks, sponsor activations and information points that project a professional brand presence from the moment the first delegate arrives. The interchangeable fabric skin updates for each event without replacing the hardware. |
| Roadshows and Mobile Sales Teams | A portable branded counter that lives in the boot of a car and deploys at client sites, showrooms and event venues. The 10-second pack-down and carry case make it practical for teams that move between locations daily. |

The Displaysense Automatic Pop-Up Square Exhibition Counter (POP800SQ) is a patented self-rising exhibition counter with spring-loaded mechanism, dye-sublimated tension fabric skin, flat countertop (20kg capacity) and carry case. Dimensions: 1000mm (H) x 800mm (W) x 480mm (D). Graphic area: 1002mm x 1480mm. Pops up from carry case in seconds. Packs away in under 10 seconds. Fabric is drum-tight, crease-free, interchangeable and machine washable. Custom fabric printing included. 800mm square provides usable working surface and hidden rear storage. Suitable for exhibitions, trade shows, product demonstrations, retail pop-ups, corporate events and roadshows. Also available in oval pop-up format (POP600OV). Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
Every exhibition morning starts the same way. The doors open at 7am. Setup closes at 9am. In between, you are assembling a counter, ironing wrinkles out of a fabric cover, rearranging parts that do not fit together intuitively and trying to make the whole thing look professional before the first visitors arrive. The POP800SQ removes all of that. Open the carry case, release the mechanism and the counter rises under its own spring-loaded power. The dye-sublimated fabric skin pulls drum-tight across the frame as it opens, eliminating wrinkles and creases automatically. Place the countertop on top. You are done. From carry case to fully branded workstation while the exhibitor on the next stand is still reading the instructions for theirs.
The 800mm square footprint is what separates this from the narrow podiums that most pop-up counters provide. At 800mm wide, the countertop has enough usable surface for a laptop, a lead scanner, a stack of brochures and a product sample display running simultaneously. Two members of staff can stand behind it comfortably during a busy spell. The 20kg load capacity means it functions as a genuine working surface, not a decorative shelf that wobbles under the weight of a tablet stand. This is an instant workstation, not just a branded column.
Behind the branded fabric face, the 480mm depth creates a private rear area that solves the problem every exhibition team knows: where to put everything else. Staff jackets, bags, spare brochures, empty boxes, phone chargers and personal items all go behind the counter, invisible to visitors. The front-facing brand stays clean. The operational reality stays hidden. That concealed storage space is one of the practical details that separates a well-run stand from one that looks like a stockroom by lunchtime.
The tension fabric skin is interchangeable and machine washable. When the campaign changes, the branding updates without replacing the hardware. A new dye-sublimated fabric skin produced by our UK print team slides onto the frame and pulls taut the next time the counter pops up. The hardware is the long-term asset. The branded skins are the consumable. Over a twelve-month exhibition schedule, that economics shifts the cost from replacing counters to updating graphics, which is where the return on the initial investment is realised.

Questions About the POP800SQ Automatic Pop-Up Exhibition Counter
Q: How does the automatic pop-up mechanism work?
A: The counter frame contains a patented spring-loaded mechanism. When you release it from the carry case, the frame rises under its own power and locks into position automatically. The dye-sublimated tension fabric skin pulls taut across the frame as it opens, eliminating wrinkles and creases without any manual smoothing. Place the countertop on top and the counter is ready. No tools, no assembly instructions, no loose components.
Q: Is 800mm wide enough to use as a proper working surface?
A: Yes. At 800mm wide, this is a genuine workstation, not a narrow podium. The countertop accommodates a laptop, a tablet or lead scanner, product samples and stacked brochures simultaneously. Two staff members can work behind it comfortably during busy periods. The 20kg load capacity means it functions as a working desk, not a decorative surface.
Q: Is there storage space inside the counter?
A: Yes. The 800mm x 480mm footprint creates a concealed rear area behind the branded fabric face. Staff bags, jackets, spare brochures, empty packaging, phone chargers and personal belongings all store inside the counter out of sight. The front-facing brand stays clean and professional. Visitors only see the branded surface.
Q: What does drum-tight tension fabric mean?
A: The dye-sublimated fabric is engineered to stretch taut across the frame as the counter pops up. The spring-loaded mechanism applies tension to the fabric automatically, pulling it flat with no wrinkles, creases or sag. There is no ironing, no steaming and no manual smoothing at the venue. The branded surface is presentation-ready the moment the counter locks into position.
Q: Can I replace the branded fabric for a different campaign?
A: Yes. The tension fabric skin is interchangeable. When the campaign changes, contact our team and we produce a new dye-sublimated skin for the same counter frame. The fabric slides onto the frame and pulls taut the next time the counter pops up. Buy the hardware once. Update the branded skin as often as you need. Your cost per event goes down with every campaign the counter carries.
Q: Can I wash the fabric?
A: Yes. The tension fabric removes from the frame and is machine washable. After a multi-day exhibition where the fabric has accumulated dust, marks or fingerprints, wash it and reinstall it for the next event. The dye-sublimated print is integrated into the fabric fibres, not printed on the surface, so the colours hold their vibrancy through washing.
Q: Is the custom printing included in the price?
A: Yes. Full-colour dye-sublimated fabric printing is included. The graphic area is H 1002mm x W 1480mm, wrapping the visible faces of the counter. A real member of our UK print team reviews your artwork before production. Your counter arrives branded and ready to deploy.
Q: Do I need my artwork ready before placing the order?
A: No. We send a personalised artwork template within 24 hours with exact dimensions and graphic guidance. Production starts only after our print team has reviewed and approved your design.

A: The counter is designed for portability. It packs into a carry case that one person can transport through standard doorways, lifts and corridors. The carry case fits in a car boot for roadshows, mobile sales and multi-venue event schedules.
Q: How much weight can the countertop support?
A: 20kg. That covers a laptop, a tablet stand, a lead scanner, stacked literature and product samples running simultaneously. The countertop is rated as a functional working surface, not a lightweight shelf.
Q: Is this counter suitable for permanent retail use?
A: The counter is primarily designed for exhibition, event and pop-up deployment where the automatic setup and rapid pack-down are the core advantages. It can be used in semi-permanent retail environments, but for a permanent counter with internal shelving and a wood countertop, our rectangular exhibition counter range provides a heavier-duty solution designed for continuous daily use.
Q: Is there a smaller version available?
A: Yes. The POP600OV is an automatic pop-up oval counter at 600mm wide with the same patented mechanism and dye-sublimated tension fabric. It is designed for narrower floor spaces and smaller exhibition stands where the full 800mm width is not needed.
Q: Can one person set this counter up alone?
A: Yes. One person opens the carry case, releases the mechanism, lets the counter rise and places the countertop on top. The entire process takes seconds and requires no tools, no training and no second pair of hands. It is the fastest counter deployment on the exhibition floor.

FAQs
Questions About the POP800SQ Automatic Pop-Up Exhibition Counter
Q: How does the automatic pop-up mechanism work?
A: The counter frame contains a patented spring-loaded mechanism. When you release it from the carry case, the frame rises under its own power and locks into position automatically. The dye-sublimated tension fabric skin pulls taut across the frame as it opens, eliminating wrinkles and creases without any manual smoothing. Place the countertop on top and the counter is ready. No tools, no assembly instructions, no loose components.
Q: Is 800mm wide enough to use as a proper working surface?
A: Yes. At 800mm wide, this is a genuine workstation, not a narrow podium. The countertop accommodates a laptop, a tablet or lead scanner, product samples and stacked brochures simultaneously. Two staff members can work behind it comfortably during busy periods. The 20kg load capacity means it functions as a working desk, not a decorative surface.
Q: Is there storage space inside the counter?
A: Yes. The 800mm x 480mm footprint creates a concealed rear area behind the branded fabric face. Staff bags, jackets, spare brochures, empty packaging, phone chargers and personal belongings all store inside the counter out of sight. The front-facing brand stays clean and professional. Visitors only see the branded surface.
Q: What does drum-tight tension fabric mean?
A: The dye-sublimated fabric is engineered to stretch taut across the frame as the counter pops up. The spring-loaded mechanism applies tension to the fabric automatically, pulling it flat with no wrinkles, creases or sag. There is no ironing, no steaming and no manual smoothing at the venue. The branded surface is presentation-ready the moment the counter locks into position.
Q: Can I replace the branded fabric for a different campaign?
A: Yes. The tension fabric skin is interchangeable. When the campaign changes, contact our team and we produce a new dye-sublimated skin for the same counter frame. The fabric slides onto the frame and pulls taut the next time the counter pops up. Buy the hardware once. Update the branded skin as often as you need. Your cost per event goes down with every campaign the counter carries.
Q: Can I wash the fabric?
A: Yes. The tension fabric removes from the frame and is machine washable. After a multi-day exhibition where the fabric has accumulated dust, marks or fingerprints, wash it and reinstall it for the next event. The dye-sublimated print is integrated into the fabric fibres, not printed on the surface, so the colours hold their vibrancy through washing.
Q: Is the custom printing included in the price?
A: Yes. Full-colour dye-sublimated fabric printing is included. The graphic area is H 1002mm x W 1480mm, wrapping the visible faces of the counter. A real member of our UK print team reviews your artwork before production. Your counter arrives branded and ready to deploy.
Q: Do I need my artwork ready before placing the order?
A: No. We send a personalised artwork template within 24 hours with exact dimensions and graphic guidance. Production starts only after our print team has reviewed and approved your design.
Q: How long does it take to pack the counter away?
A: Under 10 seconds. The counter collapses back into its carry case with the fabric still installed on the frame. No parts to disassemble. No fabric to fold separately. From standing counter to packed case in moments. This is particularly valuable at the end of an exhibition day when you need to clear the stand under time pressure.
Q: How heavy is the counter and is it portable?
A: The counter is designed for portability. It packs into a carry case that one person can transport through standard doorways, lifts and corridors. The carry case fits in a car boot for roadshows, mobile sales and multi-venue event schedules.
Q: How much weight can the countertop support?
A: 20kg. That covers a laptop, a tablet stand, a lead scanner, stacked literature and product samples running simultaneously. The countertop is rated as a functional working surface, not a lightweight shelf.
Q: Is this counter suitable for permanent retail use?
A: The counter is primarily designed for exhibition, event and pop-up deployment where the automatic setup and rapid pack-down are the core advantages. It can be used in semi-permanent retail environments, but for a permanent counter with internal shelving and a wood countertop, our rectangular exhibition counter range provides a heavier-duty solution designed for continuous daily use.
Q: Is there a smaller version available?
A: Yes. The POP600OV is an automatic pop-up oval counter at 600mm wide with the same patented mechanism and dye-sublimated tension fabric. It is designed for narrower floor spaces and smaller exhibition stands where the full 800mm width is not needed.
Q: Can one person set this counter up alone?
A: Yes. One person opens the carry case, releases the mechanism, lets the counter rise and places the countertop on top. The entire process takes seconds and requires no tools, no training and no second pair of hands. It is the fastest counter deployment on the exhibition floor.
