Exhibitors are always looking for displays that look high end without being expensive, heavy, or complicated. A fabric display offers the perfect balance of style, portability, and performance. Whether you exhibit several times per year or only once in a while, fabric displays provide a clean, modern look that works well in 10x10, 10x20, and even larger booth spaces. Here is why so many exhibitors choose fabric as their go to display material.
Lightweight Materials That Reduce Shipping and Setup Time
One of the strongest advantages of a fabric display is its lightweight construction. Tension fabric graphics stretch over aluminum frames, which significantly reduces weight compared to traditional panels or rigid materials. This helps lower freight costs, drayage fees, and setup labor. Most fabric displays can be handled by a single person, making them ideal for small teams and frequent travelers. Exhibitor Online recently posted about the most important and applicable advancements in exhibit fabrics over the last several years.

Seamless Graphics That Look Clean and Professional
Fabric allows for large, uninterrupted graphics that create a smooth, polished look on the trade show floor. Unlike multi panel displays, fabric graphics do not require precise seam alignment. This makes your branding appear more modern and cohesive. Tension fabric also absorbs light instead of reflecting it, which helps booth photography look sharp and consistent.
Easy to Update With Cost Effective Graphic Reprints
Fabric graphics are much more affordable to replace than rigid panels. If you update your messaging, change product lines, or want a seasonal variation, you can reprint the fabric graphic while keeping your original frame. This extends the lifespan of your booth hardware and increases your return on investment.
Versatile Display Options for Small and Mid Sized Booths
Fabric displays come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and configurations, which helps exhibitors adapt to different spaces. Whether you need a backdrop for a 10x10 booth, a large backlit wall, or a curved display for a corner location, fabric systems can be customized to fit your layout.
Straight Fabric Walls
Ideal for brand storytelling, product visuals, and bold headlines. These are among the most popular backwalls for small booths.
Curved Fabric Displays
Curved frames add dimensionality and help draw attention from different angles. These are perfect for inline or corner booths with multiple sightlines.
Backlit Fabric Displays
Internal LED lighting transforms your graphics into glowing focal points. Backlit fabric walls attract foot traffic and elevate perceived quality.

Fast, Tool Free Setup for Exhibitors of Any Experience Level
Most fabric displays assemble without tools, using snap together frames and easy push fit pieces. This reduces installation time and eliminates the need for professional labor. Even large systems can be set up quickly, which is especially helpful for exhibitors working with limited move in windows.
Better Durability and Long Term Use
Fabric graphics resist scratches, glare, and dents better than traditional laminated panels. They also fold neatly into compact bags, making them less prone to damage during transport. With proper care, fabric displays continue to look new after many shows, which keeps your exhibit looking sharp without ongoing replacement costs.

- Use high contrast colors to improve readability from a distance.
- Limit your messaging to one clear headline and a short supporting phrase.
- Keep logos high so they remain visible over crowds and furniture.
- Leave negative space to let your main visuals breathe.
- Use oversized imagery to create an immersive feel.
