Automatic TEXStyle Pop Up Counter – From Packed Flat To Full Height In Seconds
The Automatic TEXStyle Pop Up Counter combines a professional stretch-fabric finish with an ingenious collapsible internal frame, giving you a full-height promotional counter that can be opened and packed away in seconds.
Unlike conventional portable counters that need multiple panels, shelves and components assembling separately, the Automatic TEXStyle Counter uses a hinged scissor-frame with a gas-assisted mechanism. Lift the counter and the structure expands into position; when your event is over, simply compress the frame back down into its compact transport format.
Choose from Oval or Rectangular versions, both supplied with a personalised stretch-fabric graphic and protective transport case.
One Of The Fastest Portable Counters To Set Up
The counter's biggest advantage is its simplicity. There are no loose internal shelves or complicated sections to construct. The top, base and hinged internal framework remain connected together as one complete unit.
The gas-assisted scissor mechanism helps raise the counter into its working position, making it ideal for exhibitions, conferences, roadshows and promotional teams where rapid setup and pack-down really matter.
Choose From Oval Or Rectangular
Both counters use the same automatic operating principle. The main differences are the shape, overall footprint, weight and load capacity.
Oval Automatic Counter
The lighter and more compact of the two options, the Oval counter has a smooth curved profile that works particularly well for welcome desks, product demonstrations and smaller exhibition spaces.
690mm wide × 400mm deep × 1160mm high
Collapsed height: just 100mm
Net hardware weight: 5.60kg
Maximum recommended load: 15kg
Rectangular Automatic Counter
The Rectangular counter offers a broader worktop and larger overall footprint, making it a strong choice where you need additional countertop space or greater load capacity.
800mm wide × 470mm deep × 1160mm high
Collapsed height: just 100mm
Net hardware weight: 9.56kg
Maximum recommended load: 20kg
Gas-Assisted Hinged Scissor Frame
Hidden beneath the printed fabric graphic is a clever expandable framework made from interconnected hinged scissor sections.
As the counter is opened, the scissor sections extend vertically while the internal gas-assisted mechanism helps raise the tabletop into position.
To pack the counter away, the same mechanism compresses back down as the hinged sections fold together.
The Oval and Rectangular models use the same basic operating principle; only the shape and size of the top and base differ.
Designed To Fold – Not To Be Dismantled
The hinged construction means the framework remains permanently connected together. You're not building a counter from a collection of loose pieces each time you use it.
The individual scissor joints articulate as the frame expands and contracts, allowing the entire counter to collapse into an exceptionally shallow package without disassembling the main structure.
This makes setup quicker and also reduces the number of separate components you need to keep track of between events.
1160mm High When Open – Only 100mm High When Collapsed
Both versions stand 1160mm high when fully assembled, giving you a comfortable full-height promotional counter.
Once the scissor mechanism is compressed, the hardware itself collapses down to approximately 100mm high.
That's one of the reasons this counter is so useful for travelling exhibition teams: a substantial full-height counter can be reduced to a remarkably compact package for transport and storage.
Leave The Printed Graphic Attached When You Pack It Away
One of the most convenient features of the Automatic TEXStyle Counter is that the printed fabric graphic does not need to be removed every time the counter is collapsed.
Once fitted, the stretch graphic can remain attached to the top and bottom sections while the scissor frame compresses between them. When the counter is opened again, the graphic expands back into position with the frame.
That means less setup time at your next event and no need to repeatedly remove, fold and refit the graphic between uses.
Easy-To-Replace Silicone-Edge Fabric Graphics
Although the graphic can remain permanently fitted during normal use, it isn't permanently bonded to the counter.
A flexible silicone profile is sewn around the top and bottom edges of the printed fabric. This profile simply push-fits into corresponding channels around the counter top and base.
If your branding changes, you can pull the silicone edging out of the channel, remove the existing fabric skin and fit a new personalised graphic to the same counter hardware.
This makes the system particularly cost-effective for businesses running different campaigns throughout the year.
Built As A Complete Collapsible Unit
The manufacturer hardware photographs below show how the rectangular version is constructed without the fabric graphic fitted.
Expandable Internal Frame
The interconnected hinged framework expands between the counter's top and base to create the full-height structure.
Integrated Base
The lower mechanism remains permanently attached to the shaped counter base, so there are no loose structural sections to assemble.
Protective Semi-Rigid Clamshell Carry Case
Each counter is supplied with a shaped protective carry case designed around the collapsed hardware.
This isn't simply a lightweight fabric bag. The semi-rigid clamshell-style construction provides additional protection for the counter while it's being transported or stored between events.
The case follows the profile of the collapsed counter, helping keep the packed system neat and compact while protecting the top, base and internal mechanism.
Pack It Away With The Graphic Still In Place
The counter can be collapsed and placed into its protective case with the stretch-fabric graphic still attached.
This means that when you arrive at your next exhibition or promotion, the branding is already fitted to the counter. Simply remove the unit from its case, raise the structure and you're ready to use it.
If you later want to change the branding, replacement graphics can be ordered separately and fitted to your existing hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Automatic TEXStyle Pop Up Counter open?
The counter uses a hinged scissor-frame with a gas-assisted mechanism. As the counter is raised, the internal framework expands between the base and tabletop to create the full-height counter.
Do I need any tools to assemble it?
No. The main counter structure remains permanently connected together and is designed to expand and collapse as one complete unit.
Do I need to remove the graphic before packing the counter away?
No. The stretch-fabric graphic can remain fitted while the counter is collapsed and packed into its transport case.
Can I replace the printed graphic later?
Yes. The graphic is finished with flexible silicone edging which push-fits into channels around the counter. It can be pulled out and replaced with a new personalised print whenever your branding changes.
What is the difference between the Oval and Rectangular counters?
Both use the same automatic operating principle. The Oval counter is smaller and lighter at 690mm wide and 5.60kg, with a recommended maximum load of 15kg. The Rectangular version is larger at 800mm wide and 9.56kg, and has a higher recommended maximum load of 20kg.
How small does the counter collapse?
Both versions are 1160mm high when assembled but collapse to approximately 100mm high, making them extremely compact for transport and storage.
Is a transport case included?
Yes. Each counter is supplied with a shaped semi-rigid clamshell-style protective case designed around the collapsed unit.
How much weight can I put on the countertop?
The recommended maximum load is 15kg for the Oval counter and 20kg for the Rectangular version. Loads should be distributed sensibly across the worktop.
Can I upload my own artwork?
Yes. You can supply your own print-ready artwork using the appropriate template. We can also assist with artwork preparation if required.
