One Seamless Double-Sided Backdrop Across Your Entire Stand
A trade-show stand lives or dies on its back wall, and a bare shell scheme says nothing about your brand. The STU5000 covers that whole wall with a single, seamless sheet of stretched fabric, branded edge to edge, so the first thing a visitor sees from across the hall is you. Its aluminium frame clicks together by hand and wears the graphic like a fitted skin, pulled drum-tight with no creases, seams or panel lines. Because the fabric carries your artwork on both faces, even a stand backing onto a busy aisle shows branding rather than a blank reverse. It sits slim against the wall, too, handing back the floor space in front that a bulky panel stand would swallow. Best suited for exhibition halls, conference centres and large retail spaces where a full back wall needs to read clearly from a distance.
Why This Tension Fabric Backdrop Outclasses Rigid Panels
- Covers the whole back wall: one seamless graphic spans the back of a standard 3 metre booth, so visitors see a single branded image instead of a patchwork of shell-scheme panels or taped-up posters behind the stand. From the far side of the hall it is your brand the crowd sees, not the venue's bare panelling.
- Branded on both faces: your artwork prints on the front and the back, so a stand that opens onto a second aisle still sells to the people behind it rather than showing them a bare grey reverse. Nothing on the stand is wasted, because every surface a visitor can see is put to work.
- Stretched drum-tight and seamless: pulled taut over the frame like a fitted skin, the fabric leaves no creases, seams or panel joins, giving one smooth, edge-to-edge branded surface that photographs cleanly under stand lighting, with none of the glare lines a hard panel throws.
- Built by one person in minutes: a single staff member raises the whole wall in around ten minutes, clicking the lightweight aluminium frame together by hand with no tools and no prior experience, so there is no waiting on the venue's own contractors.
- Fire-rated for UK venues: certification to the recognised B1 standard meets the rules at major exhibition halls, removing the on-site fireproofing treatment and contractor fees that catch exhibitors out, so it clears the venue fire check on arrival.
- Packs into one padded case: frame and fabric fold into a single carry bag for the car or the courier, and the frame takes a fresh printed cover whenever your branding moves on, so one frame keeps earning its place show after show.
A Branded Fabric Wall Built for Repeat Shows
| Exhibition Halls and Trade Shows | Across a crowded hall, the full-width fabric wall pulls a stand clear of shell-scheme sameness, carrying one brand image that reads from the far side of the floor and draws visitors in from the aisle, while the slim depth keeps the ground in front open for demos and conversations. |
| Conference Centres and Seminar Stages | Behind a speaker panel or a seminar stage, the tall fabric face gives a clean, branded background for talks, photographs and live streams, hiding the venue partitioning without a rigid set build, and folding away the moment the session is over. |
| Hotels and Event Venues | At a hotel function or an awards night, the wall dresses a registration desk or a stage in branded fabric for the evening, then folds away afterwards into a single case, so one frame serves event after event across a calendar. |
| Corporate Offices and Receptions | Inside a head-office reception or a town-hall space, the backdrop sets a branded scene for press calls, interviews and internal launches, then comes down again without leaving a mark on the building, since the feet hold it up with nothing screwed to a wall or floor. |
| Retail and Shopping Centres | Set up in a store or a mall concourse, a freestanding promotional wall frames a product launch or a seasonal campaign, standing on its own feet so no fixing touches the landlord's walls or floor, and lifting to a new position within minutes. |
| Product Launches and Press Walls | For a launch event or a press photo wall, edge-to-edge branding on stretched fabric gives a seamless, logo-repeat background that stays sharp in photographs and on camera, handing every guest the same branded shot. |
Curved Sweep, or a Counter to Match?
Prefer a softer, wrapping shape over a flat wall? The same width comes as a curved tension fabric backdrop that bows gently across the stand. To finish the booth, add a matching fabric exhibition counter for greeting visitors and storing literature.

STU5000 is a 5000mm double-sided straight tension fabric exhibition backdrop display from Displaysense. Its differentiator is a flat, full-width fabric wall that spans the back of a standard 3 metre by 3 metre booth with one seamless double-sided graphic on a slim aluminium frame. Dimensions 2280mm high by 5000mm wide by 400mm deep. Weight 11.2kg. Printed on both faces by dye sublimation onto B1 fire-retardant stretch polyester, certified to DIN 4102-1. The aluminium frame clicks together by hand in around ten minutes with no tools, stands on stabilising feet, and the fabric slides on and zips shut at the base. Packs into a padded carry case, with replacement graphics available separately. Suited to exhibition halls, conference centres, hotels, offices and retail, for indoor use only. Also available in 2000mm, 2500mm, 3000mm and 4000mm widths, and in a curved version. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
A tension fabric display works by stretching a printed cloth over a frame until it is drum-tight. The graphic is cut and sewn as a single piece, then pulled across the aluminium skeleton so the surface sits perfectly flat, with no creases to catch the light and no seams or panel lines to break up the artwork. What a visitor sees is one continuous branded wall rather than a grid of joined boards. That seamless face is the whole point of fabric over rigid panels.
Both sides of the cloth are printed, not just the front. Using dye sublimation, the inks are turned to gas under heat and bonded down into the polyester fibres, so the colour lives inside the weave instead of sitting on top of it. Print made this way stays vivid through repeated shows and will not crack, peel or fade as the fabric is folded, packed and unpacked between events. With artwork on the reverse as well, a stand that opens onto a second aisle keeps selling from the back.
Holding all of this up is a lightweight aluminium frame that clicks together by hand. The sections push into one another with no tools, no loose bolts and no instructions to puzzle over, so one person builds the full wall in around ten minutes. Stabilising feet bolt to the base and anchor the display to the floor, which means no weights, tape or improvised props are needed to keep it standing. The printed cover then slides over the assembled frame like a fitted sheet and zips shut along the bottom.
For venue sign-off, the cloth is certified to the B1 fire-retardant standard under DIN 4102-1, which is recognised across major UK and European exhibition centres. That certificate removes the on-site fireproofing treatment, and the contractor fees that come with it, that an untreated display would trigger. Built for indoor halls, conference suites and retail floors rather than open-air use, the whole display packs into one padded carry case, and the aluminium frame can be reused for years with replacement fabric covers as branding changes.
What Ships in Your Pack
- 1 x straight aluminium tension frame, full stand width
- 1 x double-sided printed stretch fabric graphic, from your artwork
- 1 x set of stabilising feet
- 1 x padded carry case
Rebranding, or Kitting Out a Tour?
Because the aluminium frame is the lasting part, you can refresh the look for a new campaign by ordering a printed fabric cover on its own, at a fraction of a whole new stand. We also supply backdrops in volume for exhibition agencies and roadshow teams running several venues to one schedule.
Tell us the campaign. Call 01279460460 or send your dates and we will plan the print run.

Frequently Asked Questions About This 5m Tension Fabric Backdrop
Q: What is the best exhibition backdrop for a standard 3m x 3m trade show stand?
A: The STU5000 is built for exactly that stand. At 5000mm wide it covers the full back wall of a 3m x 3m booth with one seamless double-sided graphic, stands 2280mm tall to hide the shell scheme behind it, and clicks together tool-free on an aluminium frame in around ten minutes.
Q: How does a tension fabric display get a crease-free surface?
A: The printed cloth is sewn as one piece and stretched drum-tight over the aluminium frame, so it sits flat with no slack to wrinkle. Because the fabric is tensioned rather than hung, there are no seams, panel lines or joins across the face, just one smooth branded wall that photographs cleanly under stand lighting.
Q: Will the back of the stand look blank if it faces an aisle?
A: No. The graphic is printed on both faces of the fabric, so the reverse carries your branding too. A stand that opens onto a second aisle sells to the people behind it instead of showing them a bare grey panel, which is the main reason to choose a double-sided backdrop over a single-sided one.
Q: Is a tension fabric display suitable for a conference or seminar stage?
A: Yes. The tall, seamless fabric wall makes a clean branded background behind a speaker, a panel or a seminar stage, and reads well on photographs and live streams. It hides the venue partitioning without a built set, stands freely on its feet, and comes down again in minutes when the session ends.
Q: Can a fabric display wall be used in a shop, office or hotel?
A: Yes, for indoor settings. The display is designed for retail floors, office receptions, hotel functions and similar interiors, where it frames a launch, a press call or a promotion. It is freestanding on stabilising feet so nothing fixes to the building, but it is rated for indoor use only, not outdoor wind or rain.
Q: How long does it take to set up, and do I need tools or a team?
A: One person, around ten minutes, no tools. The aluminium frame sections click together by hand, the stabilising feet fit to the base, and the printed cover slides over the frame and zips shut along the bottom. No prior experience is needed, and the whole kit unpacks from a single padded carry case.
Q: How wide and tall is it, and what booth does it fit?
A: This fabric display measures 5000mm wide by 2280mm high, with a slim 400mm depth. That width spans the back wall of a standard 3m x 3m exhibition booth, the most common UK trade-show stand size, and the height clears standing presenters while covering the shell-scheme panels behind.
Q: Straight or curved tension fabric backdrop, which should I choose?
A: Both share the same fabric, frame system and double-sided print, so the choice is shape. The straight version gives a flat, full-width wall that sits flush to the booth back and keeps maximum floor space in front. The curved CTU5000 bows gently forward for a softer, more enveloping feel that frames the stand. Pick straight for flush coverage and floor space, curved for a wraparound look.
Q: Is a fabric display worth it if our branding changes often?
A: It tends to pay off. The aluminium frame is the lasting part and the printed fabric cover is what carries the design, so when a campaign changes you order a replacement cover rather than a whole new stand. That keeps the cost per event down and means one frame can serve through several rebrands.
Q: Do exhibition venues require a fire-rated display?
A: Most major venues do. This backdrop is certified to the B1 standard under DIN 4102-1, which is recognised across UK and European exhibition centres, so it satisfies their fire regulations on arrival. That certificate avoids the on-site fireproofing treatment, and the contractor charges, that an untreated display can be hit with.
Q: Is UK delivery free, and what is included in the box?
A: Yes. There is no charge for delivery to the UK mainland. The padded carry case holds the aluminium frame, the double-sided printed fabric, a set of stabilising feet and a 1 year guarantee. Full-colour printing on both faces is included in the price, with proofing handled before production. Displaysense has supplied display products since 1978.
Q: Does it come in smaller widths or a curved shape?
A: Yes. The straight display is also made in 2000mm, 2500mm, 3000mm and 4000mm widths for narrower stands, and a matching curved version is available in the same sizes for a wraparound shape. Fabric exhibition counters can be added to complete the stand layout.
Guides for Exhibition Stands and Trade Show Impact
A full-width backdrop sets the scene, but a stand that pulls a crowd comes down to the venue you pick, the way the space is dressed and how the branding is planned around it. The guides below cover standing out on a busy exhibition stand, choosing the right UK venue for return on investment, fresh event signage ideas and picking display graphics that travel well.

The straight version gives a flat, full-width wall that sits flush to the booth back and keeps maximum floor space in front. The curved CTU5000 bows gently forward for a softer, more enveloping feel that frames the stand. Pick straight for flush coverage and floor space, curved for a wraparound look.
Q: Is a fabric display worth it if our branding changes often?
A: It tends to pay off. The aluminium frame is the lasting part and the printed fabric cover is what carries the design, so when a campaign changes you order a replacement cover rather than a whole new stand. That keeps the cost per event down and means one frame can serve through several rebrands.
Q: Do exhibition venues require a fire-rated display?
A: Most major venues do. This backdrop is certified to the B1 standard under DIN 4102-1, which is recognised across UK and European exhibition centres, so it satisfies their fire regulations on arrival. That certificate avoids the on-site fireproofing treatment, and the contractor charges, that an untreated display can be hit with.
Q: Is UK delivery free, and what is included in the box?
A: Yes. There is no charge for delivery to the UK mainland. The padded carry case holds the aluminium frame, the double-sided printed fabric, a set of stabilising feet and a 1 year guarantee. Full-colour printing on both faces is included in the price, with proofing handled before production. Displaysense has supplied display products since 1978.
Q: Does it come in smaller widths or a curved shape?
A: Yes. The straight display is also made in 2000mm, 2500mm, 3000mm and 4000mm widths for narrower stands, and a matching curved version is available in the same sizes for a wraparound shape. Fabric exhibition counters can be added to complete the stand layout.

One Seamless Double-Sided Backdrop Across Your Entire Stand
A trade-show stand lives or dies on its back wall, and a bare shell scheme says nothing about your brand. The STU5000 covers that whole wall with a single, seamless sheet of stretched fabric, branded edge to edge, so the first thing a visitor sees from across the hall is you. Its aluminium frame clicks together by hand and wears the graphic like a fitted skin, pulled drum-tight with no creases, seams or panel lines. Because the fabric carries your artwork on both faces, even a stand backing onto a busy aisle shows branding rather than a blank reverse. It sits slim against the wall, too, handing back the floor space in front that a bulky panel stand would swallow. Best suited for exhibition halls, conference centres and large retail spaces where a full back wall needs to read clearly from a distance.
Why This Tension Fabric Backdrop Outclasses Rigid Panels
- Covers the whole back wall: one seamless graphic spans the back of a standard 3 metre booth, so visitors see a single branded image instead of a patchwork of shell-scheme panels or taped-up posters behind the stand. From the far side of the hall it is your brand the crowd sees, not the venue's bare panelling.
- Branded on both faces: your artwork prints on the front and the back, so a stand that opens onto a second aisle still sells to the people behind it rather than showing them a bare grey reverse. Nothing on the stand is wasted, because every surface a visitor can see is put to work.
- Stretched drum-tight and seamless: pulled taut over the frame like a fitted skin, the fabric leaves no creases, seams or panel joins, giving one smooth, edge-to-edge branded surface that photographs cleanly under stand lighting, with none of the glare lines a hard panel throws.
- Built by one person in minutes: a single staff member raises the whole wall in around ten minutes, clicking the lightweight aluminium frame together by hand with no tools and no prior experience, so there is no waiting on the venue's own contractors.
- Fire-rated for UK venues: certification to the recognised B1 standard meets the rules at major exhibition halls, removing the on-site fireproofing treatment and contractor fees that catch exhibitors out, so it clears the venue fire check on arrival.
- Packs into one padded case: frame and fabric fold into a single carry bag for the car or the courier, and the frame takes a fresh printed cover whenever your branding moves on, so one frame keeps earning its place show after show.
A Branded Fabric Wall Built for Repeat Shows
| Exhibition Halls and Trade Shows | Across a crowded hall, the full-width fabric wall pulls a stand clear of shell-scheme sameness, carrying one brand image that reads from the far side of the floor and draws visitors in from the aisle, while the slim depth keeps the ground in front open for demos and conversations. |
| Conference Centres and Seminar Stages | Behind a speaker panel or a seminar stage, the tall fabric face gives a clean, branded background for talks, photographs and live streams, hiding the venue partitioning without a rigid set build, and folding away the moment the session is over. |
| Hotels and Event Venues | At a hotel function or an awards night, the wall dresses a registration desk or a stage in branded fabric for the evening, then folds away afterwards into a single case, so one frame serves event after event across a calendar. |
| Corporate Offices and Receptions | Inside a head-office reception or a town-hall space, the backdrop sets a branded scene for press calls, interviews and internal launches, then comes down again without leaving a mark on the building, since the feet hold it up with nothing screwed to a wall or floor. |
| Retail and Shopping Centres | Set up in a store or a mall concourse, a freestanding promotional wall frames a product launch or a seasonal campaign, standing on its own feet so no fixing touches the landlord's walls or floor, and lifting to a new position within minutes. |
| Product Launches and Press Walls | For a launch event or a press photo wall, edge-to-edge branding on stretched fabric gives a seamless, logo-repeat background that stays sharp in photographs and on camera, handing every guest the same branded shot. |
Curved Sweep, or a Counter to Match?
Prefer a softer, wrapping shape over a flat wall? The same width comes as a curved tension fabric backdrop that bows gently across the stand. To finish the booth, add a matching fabric exhibition counter for greeting visitors and storing literature.

STU5000 is a 5000mm double-sided straight tension fabric exhibition backdrop display from Displaysense. Its differentiator is a flat, full-width fabric wall that spans the back of a standard 3 metre by 3 metre booth with one seamless double-sided graphic on a slim aluminium frame. Dimensions 2280mm high by 5000mm wide by 400mm deep. Weight 11.2kg. Printed on both faces by dye sublimation onto B1 fire-retardant stretch polyester, certified to DIN 4102-1. The aluminium frame clicks together by hand in around ten minutes with no tools, stands on stabilising feet, and the fabric slides on and zips shut at the base. Packs into a padded carry case, with replacement graphics available separately. Suited to exhibition halls, conference centres, hotels, offices and retail, for indoor use only. Also available in 2000mm, 2500mm, 3000mm and 4000mm widths, and in a curved version. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
A tension fabric display works by stretching a printed cloth over a frame until it is drum-tight. The graphic is cut and sewn as a single piece, then pulled across the aluminium skeleton so the surface sits perfectly flat, with no creases to catch the light and no seams or panel lines to break up the artwork. What a visitor sees is one continuous branded wall rather than a grid of joined boards. That seamless face is the whole point of fabric over rigid panels.
Both sides of the cloth are printed, not just the front. Using dye sublimation, the inks are turned to gas under heat and bonded down into the polyester fibres, so the colour lives inside the weave instead of sitting on top of it. Print made this way stays vivid through repeated shows and will not crack, peel or fade as the fabric is folded, packed and unpacked between events. With artwork on the reverse as well, a stand that opens onto a second aisle keeps selling from the back.
Holding all of this up is a lightweight aluminium frame that clicks together by hand. The sections push into one another with no tools, no loose bolts and no instructions to puzzle over, so one person builds the full wall in around ten minutes. Stabilising feet bolt to the base and anchor the display to the floor, which means no weights, tape or improvised props are needed to keep it standing. The printed cover then slides over the assembled frame like a fitted sheet and zips shut along the bottom.
For venue sign-off, the cloth is certified to the B1 fire-retardant standard under DIN 4102-1, which is recognised across major UK and European exhibition centres. That certificate removes the on-site fireproofing treatment, and the contractor fees that come with it, that an untreated display would trigger. Built for indoor halls, conference suites and retail floors rather than open-air use, the whole display packs into one padded carry case, and the aluminium frame can be reused for years with replacement fabric covers as branding changes.

Frequently Asked Questions About This 5m Tension Fabric Backdrop
Q: What is the best exhibition backdrop for a standard 3m x 3m trade show stand?
A: The STU5000 is built for exactly that stand. At 5000mm wide it covers the full back wall of a 3m x 3m booth with one seamless double-sided graphic, stands 2280mm tall to hide the shell scheme behind it, and clicks together tool-free on an aluminium frame in around ten minutes.
Q: How does a tension fabric display get a crease-free surface?
A: The printed cloth is sewn as one piece and stretched drum-tight over the aluminium frame, so it sits flat with no slack to wrinkle. Because the fabric is tensioned rather than hung, there are no seams, panel lines or joins across the face, just one smooth branded wall that photographs cleanly under stand lighting.
Q: Will the back of the stand look blank if it faces an aisle?
A: No. The graphic is printed on both faces of the fabric, so the reverse carries your branding too. A stand that opens onto a second aisle sells to the people behind it instead of showing them a bare grey panel, which is the main reason to choose a double-sided backdrop over a single-sided one.
Q: Is a tension fabric display suitable for a conference or seminar stage?
A: Yes. The tall, seamless fabric wall makes a clean branded background behind a speaker, a panel or a seminar stage, and reads well on photographs and live streams. It hides the venue partitioning without a built set, stands freely on its feet, and comes down again in minutes when the session ends.
Q: Can a fabric display wall be used in a shop, office or hotel?
A: Yes, for indoor settings. The display is designed for retail floors, office receptions, hotel functions and similar interiors, where it frames a launch, a press call or a promotion. It is freestanding on stabilising feet so nothing fixes to the building, but it is rated for indoor use only, not outdoor wind or rain.
Q: How long does it take to set up, and do I need tools or a team?
A: One person, around ten minutes, no tools. The aluminium frame sections click together by hand, the stabilising feet fit to the base, and the printed cover slides over the frame and zips shut along the bottom. No prior experience is needed, and the whole kit unpacks from a single padded carry case.
Q: How wide and tall is it, and what booth does it fit?
A: This fabric display measures 5000mm wide by 2280mm high, with a slim 400mm depth. That width spans the back wall of a standard 3m x 3m exhibition booth, the most common UK trade-show stand size, and the height clears standing presenters while covering the shell-scheme panels behind.
Q: Straight or curved tension fabric backdrop, which should I choose?
A: Both share the same fabric, frame system and double-sided print, so the choice is shape. The straight version gives a flat, full-width wall that sits flush to the booth back and keeps maximum floor space in front. The curved CTU5000 bows gently forward for a softer, more enveloping feel that frames the stand. Pick straight for flush coverage and floor space, curved for a wraparound look.
Q: Is a fabric display worth it if our branding changes often?
A: It tends to pay off. The aluminium frame is the lasting part and the printed fabric cover is what carries the design, so when a campaign changes you order a replacement cover rather than a whole new stand. That keeps the cost per event down and means one frame can serve through several rebrands.
Q: Do exhibition venues require a fire-rated display?
A: Most major venues do. This backdrop is certified to the B1 standard under DIN 4102-1, which is recognised across UK and European exhibition centres, so it satisfies their fire regulations on arrival. That certificate avoids the on-site fireproofing treatment, and the contractor charges, that an untreated display can be hit with.
Q: Is UK delivery free, and what is included in the box?
A: Yes. There is no charge for delivery to the UK mainland. The padded carry case holds the aluminium frame, the double-sided printed fabric, a set of stabilising feet and a 1 year guarantee. Full-colour printing on both faces is included in the price, with proofing handled before production. Displaysense has supplied display products since 1978.
Q: Does it come in smaller widths or a curved shape?
A: Yes. The straight display is also made in 2000mm, 2500mm, 3000mm and 4000mm widths for narrower stands, and a matching curved version is available in the same sizes for a wraparound shape. Fabric exhibition counters can be added to complete the stand layout.

Description
A tension fabric display works by stretching a printed cloth over a frame until it is drum-tight. The graphic is cut and sewn as a single piece, then pulled across the aluminium skeleton so the surface sits perfectly flat, with no creases to catch the light and no seams or panel lines to break up the artwork. What a visitor sees is one continuous branded wall rather than a grid of joined boards. That seamless face is the whole point of fabric over rigid panels.
Both sides of the cloth are printed, not just the front.

Frequently Asked Questions About This 5m Tension Fabric Backdrop
Q: What is the best exhibition backdrop for a standard 3m x 3m trade show stand?
A: The STU5000 is built for exactly that stand. At 5000mm wide it covers the full back wall of a 3m x 3m booth with one seamless double-sided graphic, stands 2280mm tall to hide the shell scheme behind it, and clicks together tool-free on an aluminium frame in around ten minutes.
Q: How does a tension fabric display get a crease-free surface?
A: The printed cloth is sewn as one piece and stretched drum-tight over the aluminium frame, so it sits flat with no slack to wrinkle. Because the fabric is tensioned rather than hung, there are no seams, panel lines or joins across the face, just one smooth branded wall that photographs cleanly under stand lighting.
Q: Will the back of the stand look blank if it faces an aisle?
A: No. The graphic is printed on both faces of the fabric, so the reverse carries your branding too. A stand that opens onto a second aisle sells to the people behind it instead of showing them a bare grey panel, which is the main reason to choose a double-sided backdrop over a single-sided one.
Q: Is a tension fabric display suitable for a conference or seminar stage?
A: Yes. The tall, seamless fabric wall makes a clean branded background behind a speaker, a panel or a seminar stage, and reads well on photographs and live streams. It hides the venue partitioning without a built set, stands freely on its feet, and comes down again in minutes when the session ends.
Q: Can a fabric display wall be used in a shop, office or hotel?
A: Yes, for indoor settings. The display is designed for retail floors, office receptions, hotel functions and similar interiors, where it frames a launch, a press call or a promotion. It is freestanding on stabilising feet so nothing fixes to the building, but it is rated for indoor use only, not outdoor wind or rain.
Q: How long does it take to set up, and do I need tools or a team?
A: One person, around ten minutes, no tools. The aluminium frame sections click together by hand, the stabilising feet fit to the base, and the printed cover slides over the frame and zips shut along the bottom. No prior experience is needed, and the whole kit unpacks from a single padded carry case.
Q: How wide and tall is it, and what booth does it fit?
A: This fabric display measures 5000mm wide by 2280mm high, with a slim 400mm depth. That width spans the back wall of a standard 3m x 3m exhibition booth, the most common UK trade-show stand size, and the height clears standing presenters while covering the shell-scheme panels behind.
Q: Straight or curved tension fabric backdrop, which should I choose?
A: Both share the same fabric, frame system and double-sided print, so the choice is shape. The straight version gives a flat, full-width wall that sits flush to the booth back and keeps maximum floor space in front. The curved CTU5000 bows gently forward for a softer, more enveloping feel that frames the stand. Pick straight for flush coverage and floor space, curved for a wraparound look.
Q: Is a fabric display worth it if our branding changes often?
A: It tends to pay off. The aluminium frame is the lasting part and the printed fabric cover is what carries the design, so when a campaign changes you order a replacement cover rather than a whole new stand. That keeps the cost per event down and means one frame can serve through several rebrands.
Q: Do exhibition venues require a fire-rated display?
A: Most major venues do. This backdrop is certified to the B1 standard under DIN 4102-1, which is recognised across UK and European exhibition centres, so it satisfies their fire regulations on arrival. That certificate avoids the on-site fireproofing treatment, and the contractor charges, that an untreated display can be hit with.
Q: Is UK delivery free, and what is included in the box?
A: Yes. There is no charge for delivery to the UK mainland. The padded carry case holds the aluminium frame, the double-sided printed fabric, a set of stabilising feet and a 1 year guarantee. Full-colour printing on both faces is included in the price, with proofing handled before production. Displaysense has supplied display products since 1978.
Q: Does it come in smaller widths or a curved shape?
A: Yes. The straight display is also made in 2000mm, 2500mm, 3000mm and 4000mm widths for narrower stands, and a matching curved version is available in the same sizes for a wraparound shape. Fabric exhibition counters can be added to complete the stand layout.
