Choosing A Pop Up Display - Everything You Need To Know
WHICH POP UP DISPLAY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Pop Up Displays
Pop-up displays are the quickest and most convenient way to set up for an exhibition. They use a concertina mechanism that allows for large stands to be erected in just a few seconds.
With quite a number of different types available the choice can prove intimidating, but this needn't be the case. Taking the selection process step-by-step, you can quickly narrow down your options.
1. SIZE AND SHAPE
2. FABRIC OR PRINTED PANELS
3. KIT OR BUNDLE
POP UP SIZE AND SHAPE
1. Choose Your Pop Up Size & Shape
The first and most obvious decision you have to make is what size pop-up display you need. Sizes are described in terms of the panels formed by the framework, so a 3x4 display is roughly twice as wide as a 3x2 display. When choosing a size, consider that you will almost certainly be reusing this display and remember that next time you might not have the same amount of space at your disposal. You will also want to consider the height, footprint area and if your stand requires stability feet which will increase the depth.
Example:
Magnetic 3x3 Straight - 2240mm (H) x 2700mm (W) x 306mm (D)
Magnetic 3x3 Curved - 2240mm (H) x 2540mm (W) x 685mm (D)
SHAPE
Whatever size you go for, there are different kinds of frames available. Most pop up stands will be available in either curved or straight profiles. By combining multiple units you can create shaped stands and L-shapes with joining panels for a seamless display wall!
POP UP PRINTED GRAPHICS
2. Choose Your Pop Up Graphic Material
FABRIC
The Fabric Pop Up is the same concertina design as other Pop Up display kits, but the fabric graphic comes in one piece and is washable, printed on recyclable polyester and can still achieve crisp, high resolution prints due to state-of-the-art dye-sublimation printing techniques
It is attached to the framework either using tension fit velcro featured on the Hop-Up Impact Pop Up Range, fixing straps like our Fabric Straight Pop Up, or SEG (Silicone Edged Graphics) which slot into the framework of the stand like on the Embrace+ Pop Up Series.
PRINTED PANELS
The traditional pop up stand display, pop up display stands that take panel graphics require hangers & kickers attached to the top and bottom of each panel to attach it to the framework. These can be magnetic or slot-fit pending on the pop up model.
Compared to Fabric Pop Up's, Panel Pop Ups are often cheaper, but take up more room the larger your stand gets due to needing to roll the panels up and store them in a padded case for transport and storage.
REPLACING YOUR POP UP GRAPHICS
However when it comes to replacement pop up display graphics, the prices tend to even out. Printed panel graphics give you the freedom to replace individual panels when needed, whereas fabric requires a whole-skin replacement however the pricing is incredibly competitive and definitely cheaper than needing to buy a whole new stand!
POP UP KIT OR BUNDLE
3. Choosing A Pop Up Kit Or Bundle
Whats the different between a pop up kit and a pop up bundle? Your Pop Up Kit includes the basics to get started, where the bundle includes a full exhibition set-up including lighting, a hard-wearing storage case, and a case conversion graphic.
POP UP KITS
- Frame hardware

Great for exhibition beginners who don't need the extra frills. You can choose from printed panel pop up kits and fabric pop up kits. You can always buy pop up accessories and lighting and exhibition cases at a later date to add to your display.
POP UP BUNDLES

- Hard Case
