Fabric Dye Sublimation Process
We use a Dye Sublimation printing process to print all of our fabric products. Dye Sublimation printing is a top-of-the-line printing process which produces vibrant, permanent printed graphics on soft polyester fabric. The dye-sublimation printer heats up to about 400 degrees to bond the dye to the fabric fibers permanently dying the fabric. The fabric print is long lasting and washable and won't peel off like other screen-printed fabric products.
Advantages of Dye Sublimation
- Graphics are permanent and waterproof
- Fabric is washable in cold water with air dry
- Colors are vibrant and long lasting
- True continuous tones equivalent to photographs
Pop Up Expanding Frames
The Pop Up frames are made of aluminum struts with plastic joints and ends. The sections of the frame allow the frame to expand to full size while pulling the fabric tight and when you're done the frame will collapse into a smaller size making it easy to travel with and store. The frame has velcro around its edges that holds the fabric in place, the fabric can remain on the frame when collapsed and stored away.

Care & Use of the Pop Up Displays
We use a dye sublimation process to print on lightweight 100% woven polyester crease resistant fabric. The dye sublimation process permanently dyes the fabric creating a vivid colorful graphic that does not peel or fade. Your custom printed fabric is washable and folds up for easy storage.
Washing your fabric backdrop
- You can place your fabric into a washing machine on "Cold Setting", as long as it fits, to get out any dirt.
- To dry the fabric you should hang it back on the frame and let it air dry. Being a polyester fabric it is almost dry as it comes of the spin cycle.
Steaming
- We recommend using a steamer to remove creases and wrinkles that may happen from folding
Lifespan
- Your printed fabric will last many years with normal care. Slight fading may occur with multiple washes and may also occur when exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time.
DO NOT STORE FABRIC IN PLASTIC. STORE IN A COOL DRY PLACE

Common Questions?
What does the back of the display look like?
You can either leave the back of the display open if you choose, however, the light won't be contained and will shine through the back of the frame. We do provide you with a light blocking liner fit for the back of the frame. It's is gray in color and will block out any traveling light.
Is it easy to set up the backlit display?
Yes, the frame is made of aluminum and expands open. From there you add the plastic channels around the perimeter, hook the lights on it and attach the SEG sides of the fabric.
What is SEG?
SEG is short for Silicone Edge Graphics. On the edges of the fabric graphics a silicone beading is sewn around all 4 sides. You would then use the silicone edge to tuck into the frame channels, it pulls the fabric tight and the silicone edging is hidden when the display is fully assembled.
Should I modify the colors in my backdrop to accommodate the backlit effect?
You don't necessarily have to do anything special to your artwork, however, you don't want to use all dark colors/images or all light colors/images, it will simply take away from the backlit effect. We recommend picking contrasting colors in your artwork, this will really help make your artwork pop and really give you a nice backlit effect.
I have a tradeshow where I don't have access to electricity, what can I do?
Unfortunately, the LED Lights do require a outlet to plug into, however, you can use your backlit fabric display without the use of the lights. The graphics still look great without the lights.
What color profile should I set up my artwork in?
We accept CMYK, RGB, mixed colors and Pantone colors. We do use a 4-color process and each color profile will be converted to meet the original coloring as closely as possible.
When will I get a proof?
Typically, you'll receive a proof via email from our graphics department within 1-2 hours of placing the order, if the order is placed during regular business hours of 8:30am - 5pm EST, Monday - Friday, with the exception of holidays. If you place your order during off hours/days, you'll receive a proof 1-2 hours from the time we re-open.
I don't have a print ready file or software to set up the artwork, how can I get artwork set up for my order?
Unfortunately, we don't offer artwork set up in house. Good websites to find graphic designers are fiverr.com or 99designs.com. If you are not able to find a designer please contact us and we can refer you to freelance designers we work with often.
I realized I send the wrong file when I received the proof, what do I do?
No worries, this is why we send proofs! If you realized something is wrong in your artwork or sent the wrong file, simply respond to the graphics proof email, and let them know if you are sending a new file. Our graphics team will always send you updated proofs, and nothing goes to print without your approval.
I approved of the proof then realized it was wrong, what do I do?
We work fast over here, once the proof is approved it moves to production quickly. If you realize the proof was wrong after approving contact us as soon as possible. We can try to holt production if your order has not started to print yet. Once it starts printing it will be hard to pull it back at that point so the sooner you can let us know the better chances, we have to stop it.
