Tension display fabric
Tension display fabric is a woven polyester printed by heating dye into the fibre, so the colour is part of the cloth rather than a layer on top. It is completely matt and non-reflective. It folds for transport and hangs out again, which suits media walls, stage backdrops and anything photographed or filmed.
Backdrops are 2.3 x 2.4 m, 2.4 x 3 m and 3 x 3 m (H x W), flat or curved. Lightbox fabric is made to size. Print single or double-sided, with or without the display stand. Avoid hard-edged geometric artwork at the seam, because the cloth tensions and shifts a millimetre or two. It is quoted on the Backdrops and Exhibition pages.
