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
Aluminum Tube Frame
The aluminum tube frame is easy to assemble and take down, typically 1 person can set this counter up in about 15 minutes. No tools required, the tube frame simply snaps together and the fabric pulls around the frame and zips at the bottom and on the back pulling the fabric tight on all 4 sides of the frame giving it a sleek professional looking counter.

Care & Use of the Pop Up Counter Display
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 out 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?
Can my Zip fabric counter go outside?
While all of the components of the frame and fabric are water proof, and will withstand rain, they are not made to withstand a wind. Wind will easily blow the counter over and damage it. You can attach the counter to another structure, but you then run the risk of breaking the frame with the pressures the wind puts on the whole structure.
Is it easy to set up Zip Counter Display?
Yes, they are easy to set up and it does take about 10 minutes to set up but simply snapping the tube frames together and pulling the fabric over the frame and zipping it at the bottom.
Is the graphic replaceable on the Zip Fabric Counter?
Yes, you can easily pull off the graphic and replace it with a new one.
What is the max weight I can put on this Zip countertop?
The countertop on our counters can support a max weight of 50lbs and the internal shelf can support up to 7lbs.
Does the carry bag also carry the internal shelf and counter?
Yes, the carrying case will hold the frame, fabric, internal shelf and countertop. It's a good idea to save all original packaging and boxes and re-use it to help protect the counter during transportation and storage.
Can I ship the fabric counter in it's carrying bag?
We don't recommend shipping the fabric counters in just the supplied carrying bag. Shipping can be really rough on packages and if the counter display is not protected by a rigid box or case it can become damaged very easily. It's a good idea to save the original box your counter came in and re-use it
How many colors or details can I use in my artwork, will it cost extra?
You can use any number of colors or any amount of detail in your artwork without incurring any additional fees. We print our fabric using a digital technology, dye sublimation process and it prints just as a regular digital printer would. Since we are not using a screen printing process we are not limited to the colors to details like other fabric printers.
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.
