Portable displays & exhibition printing
Portable exhibition displays give you a professional way to present your brand without the cost, weight or complexity of a full exhibition stand. From roller banners and pop-up displays to tension fabric systems and illuminated graphics, there are solutions for exhibitions, conferences, events, showrooms and promotional spaces.
At PrePress, we can help you choose the right display and produce the graphics to go with it. Whether you need a single roller banner for an event or a complete collection of portable displays, the emphasis is on clear communication, strong branding and professional-quality graphics.
Choosing the right portable display
The right display depends on where it will be used, how often it will travel and how much space you have available. A compact roller banner may be all that is required for a small event, while a fabric backdrop or modular system can create a much larger branded presence.
[Tension Fabric Displays]
Tension fabric displays use lightweight aluminium frames with stretch-fabric graphics to create a clean, seamless display surface. They are easy to transport, quick to assemble and particularly effective when a large graphic area is required without the weight and bulk of a traditional display system.
The fabric graphic can also be replaced when your message or branding changes, making the system suitable for repeated use.
[Roller Banners]
Roller banners, sometimes called pull-up banners, provide one of the simplest ways to create a professional portable display. The graphic rolls into a compact base for transportation and can be set up in seconds.
They are particularly useful where space is limited, or where several banners can be positioned together to communicate different messages.
[Pop-Up Displays]
Pop-up displays use a collapsible frame that expands to create a large graphic backdrop. They are a practical solution for exhibitions, conferences and promotional events where a substantial display needs to be transported and assembled quickly.
Graphics can be produced for new displays or replaced when your campaign or branding changes.
[LED Lightboxes]
LED lightboxes combine a lightweight frame with illuminated fabric graphics to create a highly visible display. The even illumination helps graphics stand out in busy exhibition environments and can be particularly effective for feature walls, reception areas and product displays.
For businesses attending exhibitions regularly, reusable frames with replaceable graphics can provide a flexible long-term display solution.
[Modular Exhibition Stands]
Modular exhibition systems offer greater flexibility than a simple backdrop. Different components can be combined to create a display suited to the available space, with options for counters, shelving, screens, lighting and graphics.
The configuration can also be changed for different exhibitions, making modular systems useful for businesses attending multiple events.
[Exhibition Counters]
A branded exhibition counter provides a practical meeting point as well as additional graphic space. Counters can be used for welcoming visitors, displaying literature or products, and creating a defined area for conversations.
They can be used alongside roller banners, fabric displays and larger exhibition graphics to create a coordinated presentation.
[Shell Scheme Graphics]
Many exhibition venues provide shell-scheme stands as part of the exhibition package. Although the basic structure is supplied by the organiser, professionally produced graphics can transform the appearance of the stand.
Graphics can be produced to fit the supplied panels and incorporate your branding, photography, messaging and other visual elements.
[Flags and Outdoor Displays]
Where an exhibition or event extends outside the building, flags and other outdoor displays can help attract attention and identify your stand or entrance. They can also be used at open days, sporting events, promotional activities and other outdoor events where visibility is important.
Exhibition printing and replacement graphics
Buying a display system is only part of the solution. The quality of the printed graphics has a significant effect on how professional the finished display looks.
PrePress can produce graphics for new displays as well as replacement graphics for existing systems. This means you don’t necessarily need to replace the hardware when your branding, campaign or message changes.
Replacement graphics can be particularly useful for businesses that attend exhibitions regularly or use the same display system for different events.
Portable displays for every type of event
Portable displays can be used for much more than traditional trade exhibitions. They are suitable for:
- Trade shows and exhibitions
- Conferences and seminars
- Product launches
- Corporate events
- Business networking events
- Showrooms and reception areas
- Universities and education events
- Open days
- Promotional events
- Indoor and outdoor events
The most effective display is not necessarily the largest one. It is the one that communicates your message clearly, works within the available space and can be transported and reused easily.
Need new graphics for an existing display?
You may not need a new display system at all. If you already have a roller banner, pop-up, fabric display, shell scheme or modular exhibition system, replacement graphics can give it a completely new appearance.
This can be a more practical solution when your branding has changed, a campaign has ended or you simply need to refresh an ageing display.
From artwork to finished display
PrePress has worked with printed graphics, colour, typography and reproduction since 1989. That experience is particularly valuable when exhibition graphics need to look right at a much larger scale.
We can help with artwork preparation, colour, image quality, typography and the technical requirements of large-format printing, helping ensure that the finished display looks as good as the design intended.
