The Science Behind the Stretch

Fabric tension displays use polyester fabric whose strength and durability has one goal in mind: a taught, eye-catching finish. This specific fabric tightly contours around the display hardware, ensuring a finish that is sleek, seamless, wrinkle-free and photo-friendly.

Printing Perfection

The dye sublimation method utilized for printing graphics onto tension fabric displays is the key. This process uses a heat transfer technique in which ink transforms into gas when subjected to intense temperatures and pressure, which then forms a bond with the fabric material.

During this procedure, the visuals are infused into polyester fabric creating imagery that retains its bright hues and sharp detail. The embedding of ink within the fiber makes the designs resistant to fading and scratching.

From Single to Double-Sided

Fabric displays that utilize tension fabric are easily customizable with printing on either a single side, or both sides for even more brand awareness. This versatility guarantees that your display is visible from any angle, which is vital when attendees and traffic flow are approaching from every direction.
