Pop-up display systems

Pop-up displays, and the grid the artwork has to obey

A pop-up is a folding frame that opens into a wall, with printed panels hung across it on magnets. The frame fixes where every panel join falls, so the panel template belongs on the artboard before the design starts, not after the proof.

Pop-up display printing in Singapore, in one paragraph

EZ Print prints pop-up display panels and supplies their frames in Singapore, and has done since 2017. A pop-up is a folding lattice frame that opens into a freestanding wall, dressed in printed panels held on by magnetic strip. The standard sets are 3 × 3 and 3 × 4, straight or curved, and the straight sets can be dressed on both faces; longer straight walls come as 7 × 3, 8 × 3 and 9 × 3. A 3 × 3 stands about 2250 mm tall. Panels come with a new frame, or as a print-only set for a frame already owned where the model matches exactly. A pop-up suits repeated short events, not permanent installation. Standard is generally 7–14 working days. Express is quoted per job. EZ Print quotes from the specification and does not publish prices.

The specification a pop-up display is quoted from

The set, the shape, and whether a frame already exists. Those three settle the panel count and the template, and the template settles everything a designer does next.

A pop-up wall is more than two metres tall and is not drawn here at true size. The figure a designer needs is not the outline of the wall but the position of each panel join, and that belongs to the frame model: every set has its own artwork template, with the panel divisions and the overlaps drawn on it. A reduced picture of a 3 × 3 would put the joins in the wrong places for a 3 × 4 or for a curved build, so the template is the drawing that matters, and it is the file the artwork is built on.

2250mm


The approximate height of a standard 3 × 3 pop-up, straight or curved. The width changes with the set and with the curve, which is why the template is asked for rather than worked out from the name.

Sets
3 × 3 and 3 × 4, each straight or curved. Longer straight walls as 7 × 3, 8 × 3 and 9 × 3 grids.
Shape
Straight makes a flat wall. Curved bends the wall into an arc that wraps the stand.
Double-sided
Offered on the straight 3 × 3 and 3 × 4 sets, for a wall seen from both sides.
Panels
Printed in full colour and backed with magnetic strip, then hung across the frame with each join overlapped.
Height
About 2250 mm on a 3 × 3. Every other dimension comes from the template for the exact set.
Print only
A panel set for a frame already owned. The frame model has to match the template exactly.
Counter
A straight pop-up counter with a printed wrap, or the bare counter frame on its own.
Use
Repeated short events. Not a permanent structure: magnetic strip left holding a panel for a long period can let go.
Turnaround
Standard is generally 7–14 working days for panels and for frames. Express is quoted per job.

The material

Panels, frames and the counter

A pop-up is a printed skin on a mechanism, and the mechanism decides how the print has to behave: flat when hung, flexible enough to roll into a case, and held by magnets rather than clamps. None of it is a sheet the caliper table holds, so no caliper is quoted for any of it.

Printed pop-up panel

Also sold as pop-up graphic, magnetic panel, display panel.

A printed drop the full height of the frame, backed with magnetic strip, so it clings to the bars of the frame and overlaps the panel beside it.

Under ink
Full colour, on panels that overlap at each join. Large areas of colour carry across a join; fine detail does not.
Best for
Straight and curved walls that are built, struck and rebuilt across a season of events.
Avoid for
A hairline rule, a face or a wordmark across a join. The overlap is a physical edge and it does not line up identically on every build.
On the schedule
Printed, backed with magnetic strip, then hung panel by panel.

Folding lattice frame

Also sold as pop-up frame, scissor frame, pop-up system.

A concertina of linked struts that opens into a grid and locks, with bars across its face that take the magnetic panels. Straight and curved builds differ in shape, so each has its own panel template.

Under ink
Not printed. Once the wall is dressed the frame is hidden behind the panels.
Best for
Exhibitions, roadshows and product launches, where the wall goes up and comes down again.
Avoid for
Permanent installation. Left standing for a long period, the magnetic strip holding the panels can let go.
On the schedule
Supplied with its panels, and packed with them for transport.

Print-only panel set

Also sold as replacement pop-up graphics, pop-up reprint, graphics only.

The panels without the frame, for a pop-up already in the store cupboard. The set is made to the template of one frame model, straight or curved, and the frame has to match that model exactly.

Under ink
Printed and backed as a new set is. Only the frame is left out of the order.
Best for
Changing the message between events while the frame carries on working.
Avoid for
Ordering from a photograph of the frame. Two frames that look alike can take different panel widths.
On the schedule
Printed to the template, then fitted by whoever builds the wall.

Pop-up counter

Also sold as pop-up promotion counter, roadshow counter, counter wrap.

A straight pop-up type counter with a printed wrap around its face, so the stand has somewhere for a laptop, samples and a person to stand behind.

Under ink
A printed wrap across the front. Print it in the same job as the wall where the two have to match in colour.
Best for
Roadshows, sampling and sign-ups, and any stand where a visitor needs something to walk up to.
Avoid for
Ordering the wrap months after the wall when the brand colour has to match. Run to run, a flat colour can drift.
On the schedule
Supplied dressed in its wrap, or as a bare frame for a wrap printed later.

If a pop-up already exists, name the model or send the original order, and a set is printed without a frame. The frame model is the one fact that has to be exactly right; a near match is a wall with gaps in it.The materials library

A print-only set changes what a pop-up says without touching the frame, and the frame is the part built to outlast several messages.

Backing and packing

A pop-up panel is finished by being made into part of a mechanism. It is backed with magnetic strip so it holds to the frame, and packed with the frame so the whole wall travels as one load.

Scroll the table sideways to see every column.

Every operation here is quoted inside the standard window. What changes between a first order and a second is the tooling: a die, a block or a screen is made once and then kept on file with your approved artwork, which is why the reorder of a job carrying one is a different job from the first.

A pop-up wall is designed once and built many times, by whoever is on the stand that day. The template decides where the joins fall; the design only decides what happens to be standing on them.

Pairings that work

  • Artwork laid out on the template for the exact set, with every join on its own layer. Nothing important lands on an overlap because nothing was placed without seeing one.
  • A curved 3 × 3 behind a straight pop-up counter. The arc frames whoever is at the counter, and the counter gives the stand a front.
  • A straight double-sided set in a position open on both sides. Both faces carry the message, and nobody walks past the bare back of a frame.
  • A print-only set for a frame already owned, ordered by model. The message changes and the hardware carries on.
  • A counter wrap printed in the same job as the wall, so the colours on the two match.

Combinations that fail

  • A headline or logo straddling a panel join. The overlap is a physical step, and letterforms visibly break at it.
  • A pop-up left standing as a permanent wall. Over a long period the magnetic strip can let go and panels drop.
  • A print-only set ordered from a photograph of the frame. A near-match model takes different panel widths, and the wall shows gaps or doubled overlaps nobody designed.
  • Artwork sized from the set name. “3 × 3” counts the frame’s grid, not millimetres, and a curved build covers less width than a straight one on the same grid.
  • A straight template used for a curved frame. The two builds differ in shape, and each has its own panel template.

Sets, shapes and what the names mean

Pop-up sets are named by the frame’s grid, which is how they are ordered and how a replacement set is matched to a frame. The name identifies the template; the template gives the millimetres.

3 × 3 · straight or curved
The usual backdrop, about 2250 mm tall. The straight version can be dressed on both faces.
3 × 4 · straight or curved
The larger standard set. The straight version can be dressed on both faces.
7 × 3, 8 × 3 and 9 × 3 · straight
Long straight walls for a wide stand. Installation can be arranged with them.
Pop-up counter · straight
A counter with a printed wrap, supplied dressed or as a bare frame.
Print-only set
Panels made to the template of a frame already owned. The model has to match exactly.

Get the template first, then compose to it

Every pop-up set has its own artwork template, and the template is the file. It shows the full printed area, the panel divisions and the overlaps, and a layout drawn without it is a guess at where the joins will land.

The file

Format
PDF/X-4 at final size, built on the template for the exact set and shape.
Template
One per frame model. A curved set and a straight set of the same grid are different templates.
Joins
Panel divisions and overlaps on a separate non-printing layer, kept visible while designing.
Safe margin
60 mm inside the visible area, and well clear of every overlap.
Resolution
100 dpi at final size. A pop-up wall is read from across an aisle.
Double-sided
A separate file for each face, each on its own template.

The colour, and the detail

Colour mode
CMYK, with Pantone references where the wall and a counter wrap have to match.
Rich black
A four-colour black. K100 alone goes grey across a large panel under hall lighting.
Minimum type
40 mm cap height for anything read across an aisle.
Across the joins
Backgrounds, textures and photographs. The eye forgives a step in a texture and not in a letter.
Inside one panel
Logos, headlines, telephone numbers and QR codes, each held within a single panel.
Borders
Avoid a thin border around the wall. Any small shift between panels shows along a straight line first.

Name the set and the shape, or send the original order for a frame already owned, and the template comes back before the design starts. It is the only file that knows where the joins are.

Questions asked about pop-up displays

What sizes do pop-up displays come in?

The standard sets are 3 × 3 and 3 × 4, each built straight or curved, and longer straight walls come as 7 × 3, 8 × 3 and 9 × 3. A 3 × 3 stands about 2250 mm tall. The set name describes the frame’s grid rather than a size in millimetres, so ask for the template of the exact set before the artwork starts.

Should I choose a straight or a curved pop-up display?

Straight for a flat back wall, a backdrop for photographs, or a wall that must be dressed on both sides, because the double-sided sets are straight. Curved for a wall that wraps the stand and frames whoever stands in front of it. A curved wall covers less width than a straight one on the same grid, which matters in a tight shell scheme.

What is a magnetic pop-up display?

The usual kind. Each printed panel is backed with magnetic strip and clings to bars across the folding frame, overlapping its neighbour so the frame does not show. That makes the wall easy to dress and undress at every event. It is also why a pop-up suits repeated short events rather than a permanent installation: magnetic strip holding a panel for a long period can let go.

Can I get new panels for a pop-up I already own?

Yes. A print-only set is made to the template of a specific frame model, and the frame has to match that model exactly. Name the model or send the original order rather than a photograph, because two frames that look alike can take different panel widths.

Can a pop-up display be double-sided?

Yes, on the straight 3 × 3 and 3 × 4 sets. Both faces are dressed, so the wall can stand in an open position and read from either side. Each face is its own artwork file on its own template.

Is there a counter to match the pop-up?

A straight pop-up counter with a printed wrap can be supplied with the wall or on its own, and the bare counter frame is available for a wrap printed later. Print the wrap in the same job as the wall where the colours have to match.

How long does a pop-up display take?

Standard is generally 7–14 working days, whether the order is a full set with its frame or a panel set for a frame already owned. Express is quoted per job: send the set, the shape and the event date, and ask for an express quotation.
