5m Double-Sided Curved Fabric Backdrop for Large Exhibition Stands
The CTU5000 is the largest display in our curved tension fabric backdrop range. At 5 metres wide and 2280mm tall, it fills large exhibition booths, conference stages and brand activation spaces with a single unbroken wall of full-colour graphics, printed on both sides. The stretch polyester fabric slides over a lightweight aluminium frame and zips up at the base, producing a smooth, seamless surface with no panel joins, no wrinkles and no visible hardware. When you need maximum visual impact in a big space, this is the display that delivers it.
A display of this size is something you plan around, not something you leave until the week before. Exhibitors who order early have time to get their artwork right, work through the approval process and arrive at their event fully prepared. The result is a stand that represents your brand at its best, not a compromise you made because you ran out of time.
Built for Impact at Scale
- 5-metre unbroken display width: The widest curved backdrop in our range. Covers large booth allocations with a single seamless graphic wall that is visible from the far side of an exhibition hall.
- Double-sided full-colour print included: Your custom artwork is printed on both the front and back of the fabric. Every angle of your stand is branded, which is essential for island positions and open-plan layouts.
- Curved shape for presence and stability: The concave curve creates a natural focal point that draws visitors into your stand space. The shape also provides inherent structural stability without additional weights or feet.
- Seamless stretch fabric finish: The printed polyester is fire-retardant to B1 standard and slides over the frame to create a crease-free surface with no seams, no joins and no gaps between panels. One continuous graphic from edge to edge, fully compliant with UK and European exhibition venue fire safety requirements.
- Click-together aluminium frame: The frame assembles by hand in sections with no tools needed. One or two people can build the full 5-metre display in minutes, even with no previous experience.
- Padded carry case included: The entire display packs down into a single carry case for storage and transport. Despite the 5-metre width, it remains portable enough for a car boot or event logistics team.
- Reusable frame, replaceable graphics: The aluminium frame is built to last across many events. When your campaign or branding changes, order a new fabric cover and reuse the same frame at a fraction of the original cost.
- Designed by Displaysense: Part of our in-house exhibition backdrop range, developed with nearly 50 years of experience supplying UK businesses with display solutions that perform in real event environments.
Events and Venues Suited to a 5-Metre Curved Display
| Large Exhibition Stands | Designed for 4m+ booth allocations at major trade shows and industry expos. A single 5-metre backdrop replaces the need for multiple smaller displays and creates one seamless, high-impact brand wall. Pair it with a branded exhibition counter for a complete stand setup. |
| Conference Stages and Keynotes | Fills the stage background behind a podium, presenter or panel table. The curved shape and seamless fabric create a broadcast-quality backdrop that photographs and films cleanly under stage lighting. |
| Product Launches and Press Events | Sets the scene for product reveals, media days and VIP previews. The double-sided print means the display works in the round, not just from the front, which matters in open press environments. |
| Corporate Events and Awards Ceremonies | Creates a branded environment for networking areas, award stages, registration zones and sponsor walls. The 5-metre width gives sponsors and organisers the visual scale they need. |
| University Open Days and Recruitment Fairs | Universities and large institutions use the 5-metre display to dominate busy fair halls. Lightweight enough for any team to set up, with no facilities support needed. |
| Retail Flagship Launches and Pop-Ups | Transforms a blank retail unit or shopping centre space into a fully branded environment. Quick to build, quick to break down, and reusable across multiple store openings or seasonal campaigns. |

You do not need finished artwork to place your order. We have designed the process to keep things simple and give you control over the timeline:
- Place your order to lock in your display and get your event preparation started.
- Receive a personalised print template from our team within 24 hours, with clear instructions on how to set up your artwork.

Make Your Next Event the One You Are Fully Prepared For
The exhibitors who stand out are the ones who give their display the time it deserves. Ordering early means better artwork, a smoother approval process and zero last-minute stress. Your display is the first thing visitors see when they approach your stand. Make sure it reflects the effort you have put into everything else.

The Displaysense 5000mm Double-Sided Curved Tension Fabric Exhibition Backdrop Display (CTU5000) is a portable indoor exhibition display with a click-together aluminium frame and double-sided full-colour dye-sublimation printed stretch polyester fabric graphics. Dimensions: 2280mm (H) x 5000mm (W) x 1000mm (D). Curved shape. Tool-free assembly. Padded carry case included. Replacement graphics available separately. Largest model in the Displaysense curved fabric backdrop range. Suitable for large exhibition stands, conference stages, product launches, corporate events, university fairs and retail pop-ups. Custom graphic printing included in the price. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
There is a noticeable difference between a stand that fills its space and one that does not. At trade shows and large events, the booths that draw people in are the ones with a full, unbroken backdrop behind them. No gaps, no patchwork of roller banners, no awkward blank areas where the wall shows through. The 5000mm Double-Sided Curved Tension Fabric Exhibition Backdrop gives you a single 5-metre wall of branded fabric that covers your entire booth in one piece.
The stretch polyester fabric is printed with your custom artwork on both sides using dye-sublimation, which infuses the ink directly into the fibres. The colours are vivid, the detail is sharp, and the print will not crack, peel or fade across repeated use. The fabric is fire-retardant to B1 standard, which means it is pre-certified for major UK and European exhibition venues without needing on-site fireproofing treatment. When the fabric is pulled over the aluminium frame and zipped tight at the base, it creates a completely smooth surface. No wrinkles, no seams between panels, no visible hardware. Just your branding, stretched cleanly from one edge to the other.
The curved shape is deliberate. It wraps around your stand space to create a more enclosed, focused environment that draws visitors in rather than letting them walk past. It also makes the frame inherently stable without needing weights, floor fixings or additional feet. At 2280mm tall and 1000mm deep, the display creates a substantial presence without eating into the usable floor area of your stand.
Despite the 5-metre width, the whole unit packs down into a padded carry case. The aluminium frame clicks apart and the fabric folds flat. You can transport it by car, van or as event freight without any specialist equipment. And because the frame is reusable, your next event only needs a new printed fabric cover, not a whole new display. That is what turns a single purchase into something your team uses for years.
Everything Included with This 5m Exhibition Backdrop
- 1 x click-together curved aluminium frame (5000mm wide)
- 1 x double-sided full-colour printed stretch polyester fabric graphic

Frequently Asked Questions About the 5m Curved Exhibition Backdrop
Q: How wide is this display and what booth size does it fit?
A: The display is 5000mm (5 metres) wide, 2280mm tall and 1000mm deep when assembled. It is designed for large exhibition booth spaces, typically 4m x 3m or larger. If your booth allocation is smaller than 5 metres wide, consider the 4000mm, 3000mm or 2500mm versions in the same range.
Q: What is the largest curved fabric exhibition backdrop you sell?
A: This is it. The CTU5000 at 5 metres wide is the largest curved tension fabric backdrop in our range. It is designed for exhibitors who need maximum visual coverage across large stands, conference stages, press walls and corporate event spaces.
Q: Does the price include custom printed graphics?
A: Yes. The price covers the aluminium frame, the double-sided full-colour printed polyester fabric graphic and the padded carry case. You supply your artwork and we handle the printing, proofing and production. There are no separate charges for the graphics.
Q: How long should I allow between ordering and my event date?
A: We recommend ordering at least three weeks before your event. After you place your order, we send you an artwork template within 24 hours. You prepare your design and return it. Our print team reviews it and production takes 3 to 5 working days from the point they approve your artwork. Building in extra time means you can refine the design without pressure.
Q: How many people does it take to set up a 5-metre fabric backdrop?
A: Two people can build the full display comfortably in around 10 to 15 minutes. The frame clicks together by hand with no tools, and the fabric slides over the top and zips up at the base. One person can manage it alone, but at 5 metres wide, a second pair of hands makes the fabric fitting quicker and easier.
Q: Can I transport this in a car or do I need a van?
A: The entire display packs down into a padded carry case. Most estate cars and large hatchbacks can fit the case in the boot. For events further afield, it can also be sent as freight or checked as oversized luggage. You do not need a van or specialist transport.
Q: What does the fabric feel like and how does it attach to the frame?
A: The fabric is a smooth, lightweight stretch polyester. It slides over the assembled aluminium frame like a fitted cover over a cushion, then zips closed at the base. The stretch pulls the fabric tight across the frame, which is what creates the seamless, crease-free finish with no wrinkles or panel lines.
Q: Can I order new graphics for this frame later?
A: Yes. The aluminium frame is designed to be reused across many events and campaigns. When your branding changes, order a replacement printed fabric cover and fit it to the same frame. This keeps the long-term cost down and means you are not buying a new display every time your messaging evolves.
Q: Is a 5-metre backdrop stable enough to stand on its own?
A: Yes. The curved shape of the frame provides structural stability without the need for additional weights, sandbags or floor fixings. The wider 1000mm depth at this size creates a solid base footprint that keeps the display upright in normal indoor conditions.
Q: Do I need to have my artwork ready when I place the order?
A: No. You can place your order now and prepare the artwork afterwards. We send you a personalised print template with full instructions within 24 hours of your order. Your production lead time does not begin until our print team has reviewed and approved your artwork, so there is no rush.
Q: Will this backdrop fit inside a standard shell scheme booth?
A: A 5-metre display is designed for large open stands rather than standard shell scheme booths, which are typically 3m x 2m or 3m x 3m. If your stand is a shell scheme, the 2500mm or 3000mm versions in this range are likely a better fit. Check your booth dimensions with the event organiser before ordering.
Q: Is the fabric fire-retardant and will it pass venue fire safety checks?
A: Yes. The stretch polyester fabric is fire-retardant to B1 standard (DIN 4102-1), which is the classification accepted at all major UK and European exhibition venues including the NEC, ExCeL London and Olympia. You will not face rejected stands, on-site fireproofing fees or compliance issues on setup day. The fire-retardant property is inherent to the fabric and is not affected by washing or repeated use.
Q: Is this display suitable for outdoor events?
A: No. It is designed for indoor venues only, including exhibition halls, conference centres, hotels and large retail spaces. The fabric and frame are not rated for wind, rain or outdoor weather conditions.
Q: What other sizes are available in this curved backdrop range?
A: The same curved design is available in 4000mm, 3000mm and 2500mm widths. All sizes use the same click-together aluminium frame, double-sided printed stretch fabric and padded carry case. Choose the size that matches your booth allocation or event space.

Description
There is a noticeable difference between a stand that fills its space and one that does not.

A: The entire display packs down into a padded carry case. Most estate cars and large hatchbacks can fit the case in the boot. For events further afield, it can also be sent as freight or checked as oversized luggage. You do not need a van or specialist transport.
Q: What does the fabric feel like and how does it attach to the frame?
A: The fabric is a smooth, lightweight stretch polyester. It slides over the assembled aluminium frame like a fitted cover over a cushion, then zips closed at the base. The stretch pulls the fabric tight across the frame, which is what creates the seamless, crease-free finish with no wrinkles or panel lines.
Q: Can I order new graphics for this frame later?
A: Yes. The aluminium frame is designed to be reused across many events and campaigns. When your branding changes, order a replacement printed fabric cover and fit it to the same frame. This keeps the long-term cost down and means you are not buying a new display every time your messaging evolves.
Q: Is a 5-metre backdrop stable enough to stand on its own?
A: Yes. The curved shape of the frame provides structural stability without the need for additional weights, sandbags or floor fixings. The wider 1000mm depth at this size creates a solid base footprint that keeps the display upright in normal indoor conditions.
Q: Do I need to have my artwork ready when I place the order?
A: No. You can place your order now and prepare the artwork afterwards. We send you a personalised print template with full instructions within 24 hours of your order. Your production lead time does not begin until our print team has reviewed and approved your artwork, so there is no rush.
Q: Will this backdrop fit inside a standard shell scheme booth?
A: A 5-metre display is designed for large open stands rather than standard shell scheme booths, which are typically 3m x 2m or 3m x 3m. If your stand is a shell scheme, the 2500mm or 3000mm versions in this range are likely a better fit. Check your booth dimensions with the event organiser before ordering.
Q: Is the fabric fire-retardant and will it pass venue fire safety checks?
A: Yes. The stretch polyester fabric is fire-retardant to B1 standard (DIN 4102-1), which is the classification accepted at all major UK and European exhibition venues including the NEC, ExCeL London and Olympia. You will not face rejected stands, on-site fireproofing fees or compliance issues on setup day. The fire-retardant property is inherent to the fabric and is not affected by washing or repeated use.
Q: Is this display suitable for outdoor events?
A: No. It is designed for indoor venues only, including exhibition halls, conference centres, hotels and large retail spaces. The fabric and frame are not rated for wind, rain or outdoor weather conditions.
Q: What other sizes are available in this curved backdrop range?
A: The same curved design is available in 4000mm, 3000mm and 2500mm widths. All sizes use the same click-together aluminium frame, double-sided printed stretch fabric and padded carry case. Choose the size that matches your booth allocation or event space.

5m Double-Sided Curved Fabric Backdrop for Large Exhibition Stands
The CTU5000 is the largest display in our curved tension fabric backdrop range. At 5 metres wide and 2280mm tall, it fills large exhibition booths, conference stages and brand activation spaces with a single unbroken wall of full-colour graphics, printed on both sides. The stretch polyester fabric slides over a lightweight aluminium frame and zips up at the base, producing a smooth, seamless surface with no panel joins, no wrinkles and no visible hardware. When you need maximum visual impact in a big space, this is the display that delivers it.
A display of this size is something you plan around, not something you leave until the week before. Exhibitors who order early have time to get their artwork right, work through the approval process and arrive at their event fully prepared. The result is a stand that represents your brand at its best, not a compromise you made because you ran out of time.
Built for Impact at Scale
- 5-metre unbroken display width: The widest curved backdrop in our range. Covers large booth allocations with a single seamless graphic wall that is visible from the far side of an exhibition hall.
- Double-sided full-colour print included: Your custom artwork is printed on both the front and back of the fabric. Every angle of your stand is branded, which is essential for island positions and open-plan layouts.
- Curved shape for presence and stability: The concave curve creates a natural focal point that draws visitors into your stand space. The shape also provides inherent structural stability without additional weights or feet.
- Seamless stretch fabric finish: The printed polyester is fire-retardant to B1 standard and slides over the frame to create a crease-free surface with no seams, no joins and no gaps between panels. One continuous graphic from edge to edge, fully compliant with UK and European exhibition venue fire safety requirements.
- Click-together aluminium frame: The frame assembles by hand in sections with no tools needed. One or two people can build the full 5-metre display in minutes, even with no previous experience.
- Padded carry case included: The entire display packs down into a single carry case for storage and transport. Despite the 5-metre width, it remains portable enough for a car boot or event logistics team.
- Reusable frame, replaceable graphics: The aluminium frame is built to last across many events. When your campaign or branding changes, order a new fabric cover and reuse the same frame at a fraction of the original cost.
- Designed by Displaysense: Part of our in-house exhibition backdrop range, developed with nearly 50 years of experience supplying UK businesses with display solutions that perform in real event environments.
Events and Venues Suited to a 5-Metre Curved Display
| Large Exhibition Stands | Designed for 4m+ booth allocations at major trade shows and industry expos. A single 5-metre backdrop replaces the need for multiple smaller displays and creates one seamless, high-impact brand wall. Pair it with a branded exhibition counter for a complete stand setup. |
| Conference Stages and Keynotes | Fills the stage background behind a podium, presenter or panel table. The curved shape and seamless fabric create a broadcast-quality backdrop that photographs and films cleanly under stage lighting. |
| Product Launches and Press Events | Sets the scene for product reveals, media days and VIP previews. The double-sided print means the display works in the round, not just from the front, which matters in open press environments. |
| Corporate Events and Awards Ceremonies | Creates a branded environment for networking areas, award stages, registration zones and sponsor walls. The 5-metre width gives sponsors and organisers the visual scale they need. |
| University Open Days and Recruitment Fairs | Universities and large institutions use the 5-metre display to dominate busy fair halls. Lightweight enough for any team to set up, with no facilities support needed. |
| Retail Flagship Launches and Pop-Ups | Transforms a blank retail unit or shopping centre space into a fully branded environment. Quick to build, quick to break down, and reusable across multiple store openings or seasonal campaigns. |

The Displaysense 5000mm Double-Sided Curved Tension Fabric Exhibition Backdrop Display (CTU5000) is a portable indoor exhibition display with a click-together aluminium frame and double-sided full-colour dye-sublimation printed stretch polyester fabric graphics. Dimensions: 2280mm (H) x 5000mm (W) x 1000mm (D). Curved shape. Tool-free assembly. Padded carry case included. Replacement graphics available separately. Largest model in the Displaysense curved fabric backdrop range. Suitable for large exhibition stands, conference stages, product launches, corporate events, university fairs and retail pop-ups. Custom graphic printing included in the price. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
There is a noticeable difference between a stand that fills its space and one that does not. At trade shows and large events, the booths that draw people in are the ones with a full, unbroken backdrop behind them. No gaps, no patchwork of roller banners, no awkward blank areas where the wall shows through. The 5000mm Double-Sided Curved Tension Fabric Exhibition Backdrop gives you a single 5-metre wall of branded fabric that covers your entire booth in one piece.
The stretch polyester fabric is printed with your custom artwork on both sides using dye-sublimation, which infuses the ink directly into the fibres. The colours are vivid, the detail is sharp, and the print will not crack, peel or fade across repeated use. The fabric is fire-retardant to B1 standard, which means it is pre-certified for major UK and European exhibition venues without needing on-site fireproofing treatment. When the fabric is pulled over the aluminium frame and zipped tight at the base, it creates a completely smooth surface. No wrinkles, no seams between panels, no visible hardware. Just your branding, stretched cleanly from one edge to the other.
The curved shape is deliberate. It wraps around your stand space to create a more enclosed, focused environment that draws visitors in rather than letting them walk past. It also makes the frame inherently stable without needing weights, floor fixings or additional feet. At 2280mm tall and 1000mm deep, the display creates a substantial presence without eating into the usable floor area of your stand.
Despite the 5-metre width, the whole unit packs down into a padded carry case. The aluminium frame clicks apart and the fabric folds flat. You can transport it by car, van or as event freight without any specialist equipment. And because the frame is reusable, your next event only needs a new printed fabric cover, not a whole new display. That is what turns a single purchase into something your team uses for years.
Everything Included with This 5m Exhibition Backdrop
- 1 x click-together curved aluminium frame (5000mm wide)

Frequently Asked Questions About the 5m Curved Exhibition Backdrop
Q: How wide is this display and what booth size does it fit?
A: The display is 5000mm (5 metres) wide, 2280mm tall and 1000mm deep when assembled. It is designed for large exhibition booth spaces, typically 4m x 3m or larger. If your booth allocation is smaller than 5 metres wide, consider the 4000mm, 3000mm or 2500mm versions in the same range.
Q: What is the largest curved fabric exhibition backdrop you sell?
A: This is it. The CTU5000 at 5 metres wide is the largest curved tension fabric backdrop in our range. It is designed for exhibitors who need maximum visual coverage across large stands, conference stages, press walls and corporate event spaces.
Q: Does the price include custom printed graphics?
A: Yes. The price covers the aluminium frame, the double-sided full-colour printed polyester fabric graphic and the padded carry case. You supply your artwork and we handle the printing, proofing and production. There are no separate charges for the graphics.
Q: How long should I allow between ordering and my event date?
A: We recommend ordering at least three weeks before your event. After you place your order, we send you an artwork template within 24 hours. You prepare your design and return it. Our print team reviews it and production takes 3 to 5 working days from the point they approve your artwork. Building in extra time means you can refine the design without pressure.
Q: How many people does it take to set up a 5-metre fabric backdrop?
A: Two people can build the full display comfortably in around 10 to 15 minutes. The frame clicks together by hand with no tools, and the fabric slides over the top and zips up at the base. One person can manage it alone, but at 5 metres wide, a second pair of hands makes the fabric fitting quicker and easier.
Q: Can I transport this in a car or do I need a van?
A: The entire display packs down into a padded carry case. Most estate cars and large hatchbacks can fit the case in the boot. For events further afield, it can also be sent as freight or checked as oversized luggage. You do not need a van or specialist transport.
Q: What does the fabric feel like and how does it attach to the frame?
A: The fabric is a smooth, lightweight stretch polyester. It slides over the assembled aluminium frame like a fitted cover over a cushion, then zips closed at the base. The stretch pulls the fabric tight across the frame, which is what creates the seamless, crease-free finish with no wrinkles or panel lines.
Q: Can I order new graphics for this frame later?
A: Yes. The aluminium frame is designed to be reused across many events and campaigns. When your branding changes, order a replacement printed fabric cover and fit it to the same frame. This keeps the long-term cost down and means you are not buying a new display every time your messaging evolves.
Q: Is a 5-metre backdrop stable enough to stand on its own?
A: Yes. The curved shape of the frame provides structural stability without the need for additional weights, sandbags or floor fixings. The wider 1000mm depth at this size creates a solid base footprint that keeps the display upright in normal indoor conditions.
Q: Do I need to have my artwork ready when I place the order?
A: No. You can place your order now and prepare the artwork afterwards. We send you a personalised print template with full instructions within 24 hours of your order. Your production lead time does not begin until our print team has reviewed and approved your artwork, so there is no rush.
Q: Will this backdrop fit inside a standard shell scheme booth?
A: A 5-metre display is designed for large open stands rather than standard shell scheme booths, which are typically 3m x 2m or 3m x 3m. If your stand is a shell scheme, the 2500mm or 3000mm versions in this range are likely a better fit. Check your booth dimensions with the event organiser before ordering.
Q: Is the fabric fire-retardant and will it pass venue fire safety checks?
A: Yes. The stretch polyester fabric is fire-retardant to B1 standard (DIN 4102-1), which is the classification accepted at all major UK and European exhibition venues including the NEC, ExCeL London and Olympia. You will not face rejected stands, on-site fireproofing fees or compliance issues on setup day. The fire-retardant property is inherent to the fabric and is not affected by washing or repeated use.
Q: Is this display suitable for outdoor events?
A: No. It is designed for indoor venues only, including exhibition halls, conference centres, hotels and large retail spaces. The fabric and frame are not rated for wind, rain or outdoor weather conditions.
Q: What other sizes are available in this curved backdrop range?
A: The same curved design is available in 4000mm, 3000mm and 2500mm widths. All sizes use the same click-together aluminium frame, double-sided printed stretch fabric and padded carry case. Choose the size that matches your booth allocation or event space.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About the 5m Curved Exhibition Backdrop
Q: How wide is this display and what booth size does it fit?
A: The display is 5000mm (5 metres) wide, 2280mm tall and 1000mm deep when assembled. It is designed for large exhibition booth spaces, typically 4m x 3m or larger. If your booth allocation is smaller than 5 metres wide, consider the 4000mm, 3000mm or 2500mm versions in the same range.
Q: What is the largest curved fabric exhibition backdrop you sell?
A: This is it. The CTU5000 at 5 metres wide is the largest curved tension fabric backdrop in our range. It is designed for exhibitors who need maximum visual coverage across large stands, conference stages, press walls and corporate event spaces.
Q: Does the price include custom printed graphics?
A: Yes. The price covers the aluminium frame, the double-sided full-colour printed polyester fabric graphic and the padded carry case. You supply your artwork and we handle the printing, proofing and production. There are no separate charges for the graphics.
Q: How long should I allow between ordering and my event date?
A: We recommend ordering at least three weeks before your event. After you place your order, we send you an artwork template within 24 hours. You prepare your design and return it. Our print team reviews it and production takes 3 to 5 working days from the point they approve your artwork. Building in extra time means you can refine the design without pressure.
Q: How many people does it take to set up a 5-metre fabric backdrop?
A: Two people can build the full display comfortably in around 10 to 15 minutes. The frame clicks together by hand with no tools, and the fabric slides over the top and zips up at the base. One person can manage it alone, but at 5 metres wide, a second pair of hands makes the fabric fitting quicker and easier.
Q: Can I transport this in a car or do I need a van?
A: The entire display packs down into a padded carry case. Most estate cars and large hatchbacks can fit the case in the boot. For events further afield, it can also be sent as freight or checked as oversized luggage. You do not need a van or specialist transport.
Q: What does the fabric feel like and how does it attach to the frame?
A: The fabric is a smooth, lightweight stretch polyester. It slides over the assembled aluminium frame like a fitted cover over a cushion, then zips closed at the base. The stretch pulls the fabric tight across the frame, which is what creates the seamless, crease-free finish with no wrinkles or panel lines.
Q: Can I order new graphics for this frame later?
A: Yes. The aluminium frame is designed to be reused across many events and campaigns. When your branding changes, order a replacement printed fabric cover and fit it to the same frame. This keeps the long-term cost down and means you are not buying a new display every time your messaging evolves.
Q: Is a 5-metre backdrop stable enough to stand on its own?
A: Yes. The curved shape of the frame provides structural stability without the need for additional weights, sandbags or floor fixings. The wider 1000mm depth at this size creates a solid base footprint that keeps the display upright in normal indoor conditions.
Q: Do I need to have my artwork ready when I place the order?
A: No. You can place your order now and prepare the artwork afterwards. We send you a personalised print template with full instructions within 24 hours of your order. Your production lead time does not begin until our print team has reviewed and approved your artwork, so there is no rush.
Q: Will this backdrop fit inside a standard shell scheme booth?
A: A 5-metre display is designed for large open stands rather than standard shell scheme booths, which are typically 3m x 2m or 3m x 3m. If your stand is a shell scheme, the 2500mm or 3000mm versions in this range are likely a better fit. Check your booth dimensions with the event organiser before ordering.
Q: Is the fabric fire-retardant and will it pass venue fire safety checks?
A: Yes. The stretch polyester fabric is fire-retardant to B1 standard (DIN 4102-1), which is the classification accepted at all major UK and European exhibition venues including the NEC, ExCeL London and Olympia. You will not face rejected stands, on-site fireproofing fees or compliance issues on setup day. The fire-retardant property is inherent to the fabric and is not affected by washing or repeated use.
Q: Is this display suitable for outdoor events?
A: No. It is designed for indoor venues only, including exhibition halls, conference centres, hotels and large retail spaces. The fabric and frame are not rated for wind, rain or outdoor weather conditions.
Q: What other sizes are available in this curved backdrop range?
A: The same curved design is available in 4000mm, 3000mm and 2500mm widths. All sizes use the same click-together aluminium frame, double-sided printed stretch fabric and padded carry case. Choose the size that matches your booth allocation or event space.
