Commonly asked Questions on Trade extravaganza Fabric Graphics
[adsense]If in case you have attended a trade event, convention, or event before four years, you’ve seen large, colorful fabric graphics. Fabric graphics are getting the typical for many large format images. They’re lightweight, vibrant, and sturdy, and are the suitable medium for trade shows, where every exhibitor wants minimal weight but still desires to make a large splash.
The options is really a bit overwhelming and getting more varied on a regular basis. But for many folks, fabric graphics could be lumped into two categories: tension fabric or pillowcase graphics. The next is a convenient FAQ to get you quickly on top of things.
What is a tension fabric graphic?
Tension fabric graphics attach to a frame so the material is taut edge-to-edge, creating “tension.” Typically, the graphic has Velcro hook sewn along the border, usually top and bottom, and attaches to Velcro loop at the frame.
What is a pillowcase fabric graphic?
Think of a broadcast pillowcase with zippers. A pillowcase graphic wraps around a frame structure and the internal and outer sections zip together along the least obvious edge. This creates a tailored fit. Just about all hanging sign structures are wrapped in pillowcase fabric graphics.
How does a tension fabric graphic differ from a pillowcase fabric graphic?
Tension fabric graphics attach to the frame, leaving the frame exposed. The material is held taut by attaching it to the frame using Velcro. Pillowcase graphics slip over the frame and conceal the frame structure. The material is secured by a zip(s).
What are some great benefits of fabric graphics vs. traditional first surface graphics?

No Glare. Fabric is the ideal choice for media walls or any backdrop it really is being photographed or filmed.
Versatility. Fabric is also applied to most display and hardware options and is ideal for skinning or covering displays or objects. Custom covers could be created to drape over objects, wrap, or completely pillowcase them!
Do fabric graphics offer an analogous color saturation, vibrancy, definition, and overall image quality as other graphics?
Fabric not just matches other graphic options, it often exceeds it. Dye sublimation equipment is more advanced than ever offering near continuous tone (limited by the feel of the fabric you have chose) and exceptional detail made out of high dpi outputs and complex image patterns. Color is permanently dyed into the material making a deep saturated image.
