Modular tension stretch fabric display walls provide your brand with a seamless, professional backdrop at trade shows, exhibitions, and corporate events.
Lightweight aluminium frames with custom printed stretch fabric graphics, tool-free assembly in minutes, and a carry bag for easy transport between venues across Ireland.
Best For
- Trade shows and expos, where you need a branded booth backdrop that sets up fast and packs down small
- Conferences and awards nights, as a stage back panel or step-and-repeat photo wall
- Retail displays and seasonal promotions, for in-store brand presence
- University open days and recruitment fairs
- Hotel and venue reception branding for corporate events
If you need something smaller for a tabletop or standalone position, consider our tension fabric banner stands or pull-up banners instead.
Shapes, Styles & Sizes
- Straight zipper walls, the most common choice for clean, flat backdrops. Widths from 1m to 5m+.
- Curved zipper walls, adding depth and visual interest for photography backdrops and larger exhibition spaces.
- S-shape and wave walls, a distinctive footprint for busy exhibition halls.
- C-booth configurations, modular display setups creating a semi-enclosed stand with side returns.
All styles are available single-sided or double-sided. Measure the width and depth at your venue, check ceiling height, and consider walkway clearance. We can advise on the best fit.
Assembly & Portability
The frame uses numbered push-fit aluminium poles, so assembly is tool-free. Stretch the printed fabric over the frame and zip it closed. Most straight walls take one person five to ten minutes; larger curved or modular display setups may need two people.
Each display comes with a padded carry bag. The whole system is lightweight and portable enough for a car boot, which matters when you are covering multiple events across Dublin, Cork, Galway, or anywhere nationwide. When your campaign changes, keep the frame and order replacement graphics. The fabric skins swap on and off in minutes, so you can customise your messaging for each event or trade show without buying a new system.
Printing & Artwork
Graphics are produced using dye-sublimation printing, which infuses ink directly into the fabric rather than sitting on the surface. This gives you vibrant, high-resolution colour with no cracking or peeling. You can supply your own artwork or use our in-house design service. For customer-supplied files:
- File types: PDF, AI, EPS, or high-resolution PNG/JPEG
- Resolution: 150 DPI minimum at actual print size
- Colour profile: CMYK
- Fonts: outlined or embedded
We send templates for each wall size showing bleed, safe areas, and zip placement. Every file is checked before production, and you approve a visual proof before we print.
Care, Durability & Fire Safety
The stretch fabric is tear-resistant, easy to clean, and machine washable on a cool cycle. Air-dry to maintain print quality. The wrinkle-free tension fit means no ironing once the fabric is on the frame.
Many Irish venues require fire-retardant materials for fabric displays in places of assembly. Our fabrics are available with fire-retardant treatment. If your venue specifies compliance with standards such as BS 5867 or EN 13773, let us know when ordering.
Turnaround & Delivery (Ireland)
We offer fast turnaround with nationwide delivery across Ireland. Standard production is a few working days; express options are available if you have a fixed event date. For Dublin orders, next-day delivery may be possible on stock items. Contact us with your deadline and we will confirm what we can do.
What Is a Stretch Fabric Display Wall?
A stretch fabric display wall (sometimes called a zipper wall or tension fabric backdrop) combines a lightweight aluminium frame with a printed fabric graphic. The fabric zips over the frame under tension, producing a smooth, wrinkle-free finish with no visible joins. It is a popular alternative to traditional PVC pop up displays and rigid panel systems, designed for indoor use at exhibitions, conferences, retail environments, and corporate events. Available in a range of sizes, from compact 1-metre display stands to wide backwall systems spanning 5 metres or more.
FAQs
Can I use a stretch fabric display wall outdoors?
These displays are designed for indoor events. For outdoor branding, consider our feather flags or mesh banners.
What is the difference between a straight and curved zipper wall?
A straight wall gives you a flat, clean backdrop. A curved wall adds depth and wraps around the stand, which works well for photography and creating a more enclosed feel.
Can I buy just the replacement fabric graphic?
Yes. Order fabric-only replacements to refresh your branding without buying a new frame.
Does the display come with a carry bag?
Every display ships with a padded carry bag that fits the frame poles and fabric graphic together.
Are the fabrics fire-retardant for venue compliance?
Fire-retardant options are available. Specify your venue’s requirements when ordering.
