Fabric Exhibition Stands are fast becoming the go-to solution for the exhibition and events industry. There are many reasons for this shift in the market, but the main reason is what they have to offer your brand. Fabric exhibition stands offer unrivalled quality and impact and set your brand apart from what is typically a sea of roller banners and pop up stands.
Fabric exhibition stands are no different to any other display solution. If not manufactured correctly, they simply won’t create the impact you desire.
So how are our fabric exhibition stands made?
Dye Sublimation Printing
We have recently upgraded our print facility, giving us the ability to dye-sublimation print our fabric exhibition stands.
What is dye-sublimation printing? Dye-sublimation is a printing process where extreme heat and pressure are used to fuse ink directly into the weave of the fabric.
This two-phase printing technique sees the artwork first printed from our large format printers onto an 85gsm transfer paper using water-based sublimation ink. We profile our printers to Fogra 39 global standard to ensure a high level of detail and colour richness.
The artwork is printed in reverse and the colours appear muted and dull.
The second phase is where the transfer paper and TEXtsyle stretch fabric are lined up and fed into the Monti Antonio sublimation calendar. This process uses 200-degree heat to fuse the ink into the fabric. Once the fabric and transfer paper have been through the calendar, the fabric appears on the other side of the machine with the print looking bold and vivid.
This process guarantees maximum vibrancy with a high-quality photo finish each time.
Manufactured In-House
We print and manufacture all Fabric Exhibition Stands in-house to ensure maximum quality. Once the fabric exhibition stands have been printed, they are moved over to the production bench where the print in inspected.
Whilst on the workbench, the fabric is carefully hand cut around all edges of the artwork.
Our fabric production team always wear special protective gloves when handling the fabric to ensure the fabric remains clean and unblemished.
Once the fabric has been trimmed to size, it is then passed over to the sewing department. The two pieces of fabric are lined up perfectly and then overlocked in reverse using a polyester and cotton mix thread. The reverse overlocking gives ultra-strong seams which are invisible when stretched over the frame.
The strong and durable zips are sewn in using a single lock stitch with clear monofilament thread.
This clear thread adapts to the colour of the printed fabric, guaranteeing no visibility of stitching.
Quality Control
Whilst many exhibition stand suppliers claim to manufacture fabric displays in-house, this is not the case with most of them. Cheap hardware and print imports - usually from China - mean that they are often very low quality, and by the time the product has reached you, it is too late to do anything about it.
Manufacturing in-house gives us complete control over the quality of each fabric exhibition stand and the manufacturing time. At every stage of the process, the quality of the fabric, stitching and print is checked. We can design, print and manufacture within 5-6 days, allowing us to deliver high-quality solutions for a fraction of the cost.
Our production team are specialists within this field so the attention to detail is second to none, and the fabric displays they manufacture are the best in the industry.
