A tension fabric display is a portable trade show backdrop that uses a stretch fabric graphic pulled tightly over a lightweight aluminum frame to create a smooth, professional appearance.

Most tension fabric displays feature a snap-tube or modular frame design. Simply connect the frame pieces, slide the fabric graphic over the frame like a pillowcase or zippered sleeve, and you’re ready to exhibit — usually in minutes.
