Create a professional branded backdrop in minutes with our Hop Up Fabric Pop Up Display Stand. The lightweight collapsible frame supports a seamless one-piece stretch fabric graphic, providing a highly portable display for exhibitions, conferences, presentations and promotional events.
Also commonly known as a Hop Up display stand, fabric pop up stand or tension fabric display, the system assembles without tools and can be packed away with the graphic still partially attached.
Expand the frame and connect the integral locking arms. No loose magnetic bars or specialist tools are required.
A single printed stretch fabric panel covers the front and sides without the vertical joins associated with separate graphic panels.
Detach the two rear vertical edges before collapsing the frame and leave the remainder of the fabric graphic fitted between events.
Select a 3x2, 3x3, 3x4 or 3x5 frame to suit everything from compact presentations to large branded backwalls.
Every complete display is supplied in a transport case sized to suit the chosen frame configuration.
Each fabric graphic is printed, sewn, finished, inspected and test-fitted by our experienced in-house production team.
A Hop Up display stand uses an expanding aluminium scissor frame to support a large tension fabric graphic. When the frame is opened, the fabric is pulled into position to create a smooth branded exhibition wall with printed returns around the sides.
Unlike a traditional magnetic pop up stand, which normally requires several separate rollable graphic panels, the Hop Up uses one continuous fabric print. This creates an uninterrupted display area without visible panel joins across the front face.
The product is lightweight, compact when stored and particularly useful when a large professional backdrop needs to be transported and assembled by one person.
The frame expands from its compact stored position and is secured using integral quick-release locking arms. These arms connect across the frame to hold the display fully open and stable.
There are no loose magnetic bars, separate support poles or tools to locate before assembly. Once the frame is upright, the two rear vertical edges of the graphic are secured around the back of the frame using the sewn Velcro fastening.
To pack the display away, release the rear edges of the graphic, disconnect the locking arms and gently collapse the frame.
One of the main advantages of a Hop Up Fabric Pop Up Display Stand is that the printed graphic does not need to be completely removed after every use.
Before collapsing the frame, simply peel the graphic away from the two rear vertical edges. The fabric can remain attached around the rest of the frame perimeter while the framework folds down.
The collapsed frame and attached graphic can then be placed directly into the supplied transport case. At the next event, expand the frame and reattach the two rear edges.
Hop Up graphics are printed onto a lightweight display polyester selected because it folds compactly and can be tensioned smoothly by the frame. This fabric is not a fully opaque blockout material.
Under normal exhibition and indoor lighting, the graphic produces a professional display finish. However, when the stand is positioned directly in front of a bright window or another strong rear light source, a faint outline of the internal frame may become visible through the fabric.
This effect can be more noticeable where artwork contains large white areas, pale colours or lightly printed backgrounds. Darker and more saturated artwork will generally disguise the internal framework more effectively.
Where complete opacity is essential, a different display system using a blockout fabric graphic may be more suitable. Please contact us before ordering if your display will be strongly backlit or positioned directly in front of large windows.
All four frames are approximately 2250mm high and 290mm deep. Choose from four widths according to your available floor space and the visual impact required.
A compact option for smaller exhibition spaces, presentations, reception areas and showroom displays.
A versatile general-purpose backdrop offering a useful balance between visual impact and portability.
Well suited to wider exhibition stands, product launches, conferences and larger branded event spaces.
Creates a substantial media wall or presentation backdrop for larger venues, stages and exhibition spaces.

Frame weights relate to the hardware before the printed graphic is fitted. Estimated complete weights include an allowance for the finished fabric graphic and may vary slightly according to the exact print and finishing specification. All dimensions and weights are approximate.
Each Hop Up Fabric Pop Up Display Stand is supplied in a wheeled case sized to accommodate the selected frame. The larger frame options use progressively wider cases, while all four cases are approximately 310mm deep and 900mm high.
The integrated wheels and carrying straps make the packed display easier to move between vehicles, venues and exhibition spaces.
Because the graphic can remain partially attached to the collapsed frame, the complete display can be packed together without separately storing several loose printed panels.
Your display is supplied as a complete system, printed and prepared for straightforward assembly.
Lightweight aluminium scissor framework with integral locking arms.
One-piece stretch display polyester graphic printed across the front and side returns.
A protective case sized to suit the selected frame configuration.
Your supplied artwork is reviewed before the graphic enters production.
Both systems create portable exhibition backwalls, but their graphic construction, handling and opacity differ.
| Feature | Hop Up Fabric Pop Up Display | Traditional Magnetic Pop Up |
|---|---|---|
| Graphic construction | One continuous stretch fabric graphic | Several separate rollable graphic panels |
| Visible joins | No vertical panel joins across the front face | Fine joins normally visible between adjacent panels |
| Between events | Graphic can remain partially attached to the frame | Graphic panels are normally removed and stored separately |
| Assembly | Expand frame, connect locking arms and secure rear graphic edges | Expand frame, fit magnetic bars and attach each graphic panel |
| Portability | Lightweight frame and flexible fabric graphic | Generally heavier due to magnetic bars and multiple panels |
| Opacity | Non-blockout fabric may show the frame under strong backlighting | Graphic panels usually provide greater opacity |
| Appearance | Soft, seamless tension fabric finish | More rigid panelled finish |
We produce the printed fabric graphics ourselves, giving us direct control over the print, sewing, finishing and final quality inspection.
Your artwork is printed onto polyester display fabric using our in-house dye-sublimation printing equipment. This process produces strong colour while retaining the flexibility needed for the graphic to fold and tension across the Hop Up frame.
The printed graphic is cut, sewn and fitted with the required Velcro fastening by our experienced production team. Every complete display is inspected and test-fitted before it is packed for dispatch.
The aluminium frame can be reused with new printed fabric graphics whenever your branding, campaign or exhibition message changes.
Replacement graphics are useful for rebrands, seasonal campaigns, recurring events and organisations that need several interchangeable designs for one display frame.
Visually similar Hop Up frames are available from several manufacturers and graphic specifications can differ. Where the original frame was not supplied by Printdesigns, we may ask for measurements, photographs or the original artwork template before confirming compatibility.
The large seamless graphic makes the system suitable for a wide variety of indoor commercial, promotional and presentation environments.
Select a question below to view further information about the frame, graphic, assembly and transport.
A Hop Up display stand is a portable exhibition backdrop consisting of a collapsible scissor frame and a one-piece stretch fabric graphic. The frame expands into position and the graphic tensions across the front and sides.
These terms are commonly used to describe the same general style of display: a collapsible pop up frame fitted with a tension fabric graphic. Frame designs and graphic templates can vary between manufacturers.
Yes. Before collapsing the frame, detach the graphic from the two rear vertical edges. The remainder of the graphic can remain fixed around the frame perimeter while the display is folded and packed into its case.
Yes. The lightweight expanding frame and integral locking arms are designed for straightforward tool-free assembly by one person. Larger sizes may be easier to position with assistance where space is restricted.
Assembly normally takes only a few minutes. Once the graphic has been fitted for the first time, subsequent setup is quicker because the majority of the fabric can remain attached to the collapsed frame.
Under normal indoor lighting, the display provides a professional finish. However, the fabric is not fully opaque. If the stand is placed directly in front of a bright window or strong rear light source, a faint outline of the internal frame may become visible. This may be more noticeable with predominantly white or pale artwork.
Heavier blockout fabrics contain an opaque backing layer and do not fold or tension as readily as lightweight display polyester. The Hop Up frame relies on the elasticity and flexibility of the fabric to create a smooth finish and to allow the graphic to remain attached when the frame is collapsed.
The 3x2 is suited to compact spaces, while the 3x3 is a versatile general-purpose option. The 3x4 and 3x5 create wider backwalls for larger exhibition stands, conference areas and media displays. Check both the available floor width and the access route into your venue before ordering.
Yes. Replacement fabric graphics can be supplied for compatible frames. If the original frame was purchased elsewhere, we may need to confirm its dimensions and fastening arrangement before production.
Light marks may be carefully spot-cleaned using a clean damp cloth. Avoid aggressive chemicals, bleach, vigorous rubbing and high heat. Contact us before washing the complete graphic so we can advise according to the exact material and finishing specification supplied.
Yes. The continuous printed surface and absence of separate panel joins make the display suitable for branded photography, interviews, product launches, presentations and media events. Avoid positioning it directly in front of strong rear lighting.
No. This is primarily an indoor display. Its lightweight construction and large surface area mean it should not be used outdoors or in environments where wind may affect its stability.
The complete display includes the collapsible frame, full-colour printed fabric graphic and a wheeled transport case sized for the selected frame. Your supplied artwork is also checked before production.
Yes. The printed graphic is sewn and finished in-house, and the complete display is inspected and test-fitted before being packed for dispatch.
The Hop Up combines a lightweight expanding frame, a large seamless fabric graphic and compact wheeled storage to create a practical professional backdrop for exhibitions and events.

Any questions? Please just contact a member of our friendly team who will be happy to provide obligation-free advice and support
Once you have placed an order for a printed product, we will need you to provide us with your artwork, so we could start the production. It's important that any artwork you provide is compatible for the product(s) that you have ordered. You can find instructions regarding particular artwork requirements on the relevant product pages of our website.
If you can't provide artwork at the correct size or format then please get in touch. We offer a full in-house design service for all products and we can provide an individual quote based on your needs and requirements. Just email us with your requirements by contacting our designer directly at [email protected] or feel free to use our online chat facility for a quick consultation.
You can upload your artwork in one of several ways

If you send your artwork via email, file transfer service or FTP, please send an email to [email protected] and provide your order number along with any other specific instructions.
When we receive your artwork we will update you to let you know that your files have been received. We will also confirm that the artwork you have provided is suitable for the products that you have ordered.
We use a range of courier companies to deliver our exhibition stands and other products. Most couriers will require a signature on the delivery of your order to confirm the date and time of the delivery (and that the goods are received in good condition).
Normally we will email the tracking information for your order on the evening of the day of dispatch so that you can know to expect the delivery. If you want to check the progress of the delivery then you can enter the tracking information online for an update or call the telephone number provided.
If no-one is available to sign for your delivery then the courier will normally leave a card to say that a delivery was attempted and would then take the parcel away. The delivery is normally re-attempted the next working day.
Depending on the courier, the delivery could be re-attempted two or three times before the parcel would eventually be returned to us. If the courier attempts delivery on multiple occasions with no success resulting in the parcel being returned then we can re-dispatch the parcel again for you but would bill the carriage cost again.
Sometimes we are asked if the courier can telephone in advance of the delivery being made. Unfortunately this is not possible because the couriers are not generally provided with mobile telephones. All instructions tend to be relayed to the courier by the depot via a hand held computer terminal that the driver carries.
If you need to receive a delivery on a particular day but are not going to be around to sign for the parcel then the best advice we can give is to write a note explaining that you are expecting a delivery but are not around to receive it. You can request the courier leaves the parcel with no signature or with a neighbor. We would advise that you write the consignment note of the parcel on the letter and sign it.
Ultimately it is down to the drivers discretion whether to leave the parcel and so we cannot accept responsibility for late deliveries if there is no one available to accept the order when the delivery is made.
For most items that are printed, the standard production time is 5 working days.
Based on standard production if an order arrives on a Monday morning (first thing) then the goods should be dispatched no later than the following Monday.
If orders are placed later in the day then we would not normally class that day as a full day’s production time and therefore an order placed on a Monday afternoon would be dispatched no later than a week the following Tuesday.
For rush orders, we offer an express production service whereby the item can printed and dispatched in 1-2 working days. An item placed on express production on a Monday would generally ship no later than Tuesday the day after. We recommend you call us prior to placing an express order to confirm your delivery schedule.
We offer a variety of courier services selectable from the checkout on our website. Standard delivery is normally next working day from the day of dispatch (so an order dispatched on a Tuesday would be delivered on Wednesday).
We also offer timed delivery services (pre-noon, pre 10.30am, pre 9am etc) at additional costs.
Please note that although we always do everything within our power to ensure that goods are dispatched on-time, there can be rare occasions whereby production could be delayed due to circumstances outside of our control. Such circumstances could involve a power outage, equipment failure etc.
With regards to courier delivery times, there is no insurance or consequential insurance for late deliveries with next day couriers. We would always recommend that you arrange for a delivery to be made in advance of your required date just in case!
For no-fail deliveries we can arrange for a dedicated vehicle and driver – please call for prices.
The Pantone colour scale is an industry standard series of reference colours for use in the printing industry.
Pantone or spot colours are normally used by lithographic or screen printers when printing items with a limited number of colours (for example a letterhead, or stationary). Pantone ink is purchased by the printer who then creates a screen or plate specifically for that colour ink.
We use a CMYK (full colour) process of printing rather than a spot colour method. With a CMYK print process, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black are mixed by layering ink on top of each other to create a full-colour image. Sometimes other colours like light cyan and light magenta are also used to improve print quality.
We cannot guarantee to match all Pantone colours because some Pantone’s contain pigments that push the colour outside of the spectrum of colours available with CMYK inks.
An example would be Pantone 021 orange which is a very bright, almost neon colour. It is impossible to get a close match to this colour with CMYK printing because the colour is too bright.
There are many other colours in the Pantone spectrum that are relatively easy to match but also some that are impossible to closely match. Pantone sell a solid to process guide book which is useful because the Pantone colour is shows next to the nearest CMYK colour as two separate colour chips. If you can access a Pantone solid to process guide book then you can see at a glance how closely your pantone colour can be matched with a CMYK printing process.
All artwork supplied should be set as CMYK colour mode, not Pantone spot colour. If you do not have a Pantone solid to process guide book and need some advice as to the best CMYK colour value to use in the artwork, please call and we can help.
If you have very precise colour matching requirements for your artwork then we recommend purchasing a reduced-scale hard copy proof prior to printing the finished article. The cost is £20 and includes delivery of the proof to a mainland UK address.
As a rule of thumb, we recommend that artwork resolution should be 150dpi or greater at full scale for a large format print (anything A2 or larger).
If you are designing your artwork at a reduced scale (say half or quarter size) then the resolution of the artwork needs to be increased proportionally so that when the file is blown-up for printing, the quality is high enough to allow for it.
So, if setting your artwork at half size then double the resolution to 300dpi or if setting the artwork at quarter size then quadruple the resolution to 600dpi!
What if my image is not big enough for 150dpi output at full size?
When printing images at very large sizes, it is not uncommon that the original file be unavailable at a large enough size to provide 150dpi output and this does not mean that you cannot use the image! In fact much smaller images can sometimes be OK for print.
Bear in mind factors that determine if the image is acceptable:-
Most displays have a viewing distance of at least a couple of Metres and so a large background image need not contain pin-sharp detail. If the image is abstract or does not contain precise detail then you can ‘get away’ with using a smaller image.
If your image is small then you can up-sample it in an application like Photoshop which increases the image size by splitting the pixels (interpolating) into more pixels. A byproduct of this process is the image can become ‘softer’ and it is therefore a good idea to zoom-in on the picture at approximately finished size on screen and then stand back from the display to gain an impression of what the printed result would be like.
If you have concerns about image quality then let us know about it when you submit your artwork and one of our team can take a look for you.
We support most ‘industry-standard’ artwork file types. Examples of supported formats include:-
We also accept generic artwork formats including:-
When supplying artwork from the original design package (for example an Adobe Indesign file), it is important to send over all linked images and fonts as well as the Adobe Indesign document itself.
If you are exporting artwork from a design package into a generic format such as PDF then there is generally no need to supply artwork components such as images and fonts separately unless you need us to re-open and edit the file for you.
Most people would typically supply us with the exported generic file rather than the original artwork file and links.
We accept most common credit cards including Mastercard, Visa and American Express via the payment gateway on our website. We also can accept payments via PayPal.
