Tension Fabric Display Printing in South Jersey

Tension fabric displays are the professional's choice for trade show exhibits, corporate backdrops, and high-impact event signage. The lightweight aluminum tube frame assembles in minutes without tools, and the dye sublimation fabric graphic stretches tight across the frame for a seamless, wrinkle-free display that looks sharp from every angle.

Available in five sizes — 3', 4', 8', 10', and 20' wide — with single or double-sided printing and a complimentary carry case with every order. The 3' and 4' models use a pillowcase-style zipper graphic that slips over the frame. The 8', 10', and 20' models use a stretched tension fabric with the hardware inserted inside the print. Both systems are tool-free and fast to set up.

Based in Woodbury, NJ, we've been helping South Jersey businesses look their best at events since 1973.

CUSTOMER QUESTIONS

Tension Fabric Displays — Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between the 3’/4’ and the 8’/10’/20’ displays?

The 3’ and 4’ models use a pillowcase-style graphic that slips over the frame and zips closed at the bottom — quick and easy. The 8’, 10’, and 20’ models use a stretch tension system where the hardware is inserted inside the fabric print, stretching it tight across the frame for a larger, more seamless display with stabilizing feet.

Can I order just the graphic without new hardware?

Yes — replacement graphics are available if you already own a compatible frame. Order new fabric at any time to refresh your design without purchasing new hardware.

Can the fabric be washed?

Yes — the 8.8 oz. tension fabric is machine washable. Use mild detergent and cool water on a gentle cycle. Air dry — do not use a dryer as heat can affect the fabric.

What carry case options are available?

Every order includes a complimentary soft canvas bag. A hard case (durable plastic) is available as an upgrade for added protection during frequent travel or shipping.

Is a podium available?

Yes — a podium is available as an add-on for the 8’, 10’, and 20’ displays. It’s not a standard ordering option online, so contact us at 856.845.2234 or quotes@belliaprinting.com to add one to your order.

What resolution should my file be?

For 8’ and 10’ displays, 150 dpi minimum at final printed size. For the 20’ display, 120 dpi minimum is sufficient given the larger viewing distance.

How do I set up my file?

Download the template for your size from the Templates tab. Build your artwork on the layer labelled “Artwork” — do not adjust the artboard size or reposition guidelines. Submit as JPEG or single-page PDF in CMYK with all fonts converted to outlines.

What file format should I submit?

Submit a print-ready PDF or high-resolution JPG in CMYK color mode. Before submitting your order, carefully review your artwork, spelling, layout, and sizing to make sure everything is correct.

How do I make sure my tension fabric display is correct before it prints?

Once you upload your artwork, you’ll review it and check a confirmation box verifying it’s correct before your order moves into production — there’s no separate proof step for uploaded artwork. If our in-house design team creates your display artwork for you, we’ll share a design proof for your approval before it goes to print.

Can Bellia design my tension fabric display?

Yes — our in-house design team can create your display artwork from scratch or work from your existing brand assets. Learn more about our design services.
