Where Can I Buy Custom Tension Fabric Displays?
Tension fabric displays have become the default backwall for many exhibitors because they combine a light aluminum tube frame with a printed stretch fabric graphic that pulls tight like a pillowcase. They are easy to carry, quick to set up and simple to update with a new print. The harder question is where to buy one that is actually custom: printed with your artwork, sized for your space and backed by a supplier who checks your files before printing.

1. What Makes a Tension Fabric Display "Custom"?
A tension fabric display is custom when the graphic is printed from your own artwork to the exact template for that frame. The frame itself is a standard aluminum tube system; the printed fabric is what carries your brand.
The frame
Most models in the catalog use aluminum tubes that slide together and lock with push-button snap connectors. The 10ft. EZ Stands Fabric Tube Display uses 30mm tubing, while the EZ Tube Straight 10 x 10 ft and 15 ft. EZ Tube Straight displays use a 43mm aluminum frame, according to their product pages.
The graphic
Product pages describe the graphics as dye-sublimated stretch fabric. On the EZ Stand models the graphic is sewn on the top, left and right, with a zipper on the bottom, so it slides over the frame and zips closed for a tight finish.
The options you choose
- Width and height: from 24 inches to 30ft wide, and from tabletop height to 10ft tall.
- Sides: single-sided (often with a white or black back fabric) or double-sided.
- Top shape: the EZ Tube Connect Single Frame Displays offer straight, curved and slanted tops.
2. Custom 10ft Tension Fabric Backwalls Compared
For a standard 10ft booth, the custom tension fabric backwalls at Capital Exhibits range from $536 to $1,253 for a single-sided graphic package (as of November 2026). The price difference comes down to height, frame size, case type and features such as built-in storage.
| Product (full title) | Display size (W x H x D) | Included carry | Single-sided price (Nov 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wholesale 10ft Tension Fabric Tube Display | 112" x 91.5" x 19.75" | Travel bag | $536 |
| EZ Tube Connect 10ft Straight Top Single-sided White Back Fabric Graphic Package | 120" x 90" x 18.75" | Soft bag | $597 |
| 10ft. EZ Stands Fabric Tube Display | 116" x 87" x 15.75" | Optional silver bag | $690 |
| 10ft Tension Fabric Trade Show Display | EZ Tool-Free Setup | 120" x 89" x 22" | EZ Tube travel bag | $699 |

Two practical notes from the product pages: the Wholesale 10ft Tension Fabric Tube Display lists a 48 lb graphic package weight, while the 10ft EZ Tool-Free display lists 32 lbs. If you carry the display yourself, weight is worth comparing alongside price.
3. Small Custom Tension Fabric Stands (2ft to 8ft)
Small tension fabric stands are the right buy for tabletop events, narrow spaces and for flanking a larger backwall. They start at $238 for a 24 in. frame, as of November 2026.
EZ Tube Connect Single Frame Displays
The 24 in. Connect Single Frame Displays EZ Tube® start at $238, the 36 in. at $272, the 48 in. at $294 and the 60 in. Connect Single Frame Display EZ Tube® at $320. The 60 in. model measures 60"W x 90"H x 18.75"D, ships at 17 lbs with frames and graphics, and comes with a soft bag. These frames are offered with straight, curved or slanted tops.
EZ Stand and EZ Extend
- 2ft. EZ Stand Fabric Tube Display: from $274; 25.5"w x 90"h x 15.75"d; 9 lb shipping weight.
- 2ft. EZ Extend Tension Fabric Tube Display: from $256 at 5.5ft tall; steel base with an aluminum tube frame, offered in heights from 5.5ft to 11.5ft. Warranty is lifetime on the stand and one year on the graphic.
- 5ft. EZ Stand Fabric Tube Display: from $491 single-sided.
4. Large Custom Tension Fabric Backwalls (15ft to 30ft)
For 10x20 booths and larger spaces, custom tension fabric backwalls run from $1,014 to $2,507 single-sided, as of November 2026. All of them use the same pillowcase-style graphic approach, just at a larger scale.
| Product (full title) | Display size | Single-sided price (Nov 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| EZ Tube® 20ft Kicktail Single-Sided Graphic Package | 240"W x 90"H x 55"D | $1,014 |
| 15 ft. EZ Tube® Straight Fabric Trade Show Display | 180"W x 90"H x 19.75"D | $1,432 |
| 20 ft EZ Tube Straight Display | 240"W x 90"H x 22"D | $1,672 |
| EZ Tube Straight 20 x 10 ft Trade Show Display | 20ft wide, 10ft tall | $1,966 |
| EZ Tube Straight 25 x 7.5 ft Trade Show Display | 25ft wide, 7.5ft tall | $2,149 |
| EZ Tube Straight 30 x 7.5 ft Trade Show Display | 30ft wide, 7.5ft tall | $2,507 |
The 20 ft EZ Tube Straight Display lists a 75 lb weight and ships with a medium hard case with wheels, while the 20ft Kicktail lists 36 lbs and a travel bag. Confirm your booth depth before choosing the Kicktail, since its 55" depth is much deeper than a straight wall.
5. Custom Tension Fabric Shapes: Curved, Circle, Tower and Tabletop
Capital Exhibits also sells shaped tension fabric displays for exhibitors who want something other than a flat wall. The catalog's curved tension fabric options are the Tabletop Display Curved EZ Tube® and the EZ Tube® 20ft Kicktail, which has curved corners and a concave shape; the other floor-standing backwalls are straight or come with shaped tops.
- Tabletop Display Curved EZ Tube®: from $544 for the 6ft size; 72"W x 60"H x 10"D; 21 lbs; lifetime warranty on hardware and one year on the graphic.
- 6 ft. EZ Tube Table Top Straight: from $558; 72"W x 60"H x 17.6"D with a 30mm frame and travel bag.
- 5ft. & 7ft. EZ Tube Connect Circle Display: from $318 for the 5ft; 60"W x 72"H x 18.75"D and 9 lbs with frame and graphic.
- EZ Tube Tower 4ft x 16ft x 4ft (Graphic Package): $1,970; a 16ft tall tube frame tower for indoor use.
If you need a curved floor-standing backwall rather than a tension fabric one, the closest real option is the 8x10 RPL Curved Fabric Pop Up Display, a curved fabric pop up from $442 (8ft), which uses a hook-and-loop graphic instead of a pillowcase sleeve.

6. Who Manufactures Portable Tension Fabric Displays?
Portable tension fabric displays are produced by specialist display hardware and fabric printing companies, and most buyers purchase them through a supplier. What matters to you as a buyer is less who made the frame and more what the supplier puts behind it: clear specifications, a template for your artwork, a file check before printing and stated warranty terms.
It sells tension fabric display systems online with wholesale pricing, and it has more than 30 years of experience helping exhibitors choose and order displays. When you compare suppliers, check these points:
- Published specifications: display size, template size, weight and what is included should be on the product page.
- Templates: each frame needs its own template. The Capital Exhibits product pages link to a template, spec sheet and instructions.
- Artwork review: according to the Capital Exhibits FAQ, every order includes a free graphic review that checks resolution, sizing and layout.
- Warranty statements: many EZ models list a lifetime warranty on hardware and one year on graphics; confirm the terms for the exact model.
- Replacement graphics: make sure you can reorder just the printed fabric for the same frame later.
- Transparent pricing: complete graphic package prices should be listed, not hidden behind a quote form.
7. How to Order a Custom Tension Fabric Graphic
Ordering a custom tension fabric display takes four steps: choose the frame, download its template, prepare your artwork and let the graphic review check it. The template is the most important part, because tension fabric graphics are sized to the frame.
- Choose the frame and options. Select the size, single- or double-sided print and back fabric color on the product page.
- Download the template. Each product page links to the template for that frame, for example a single-sided and a double-sided template for the EZ Stand models.
- Prepare the artwork. Keep logos and text away from the edges that wrap around the tubes. See Where Can I Buy Custom Printed 10x10 Trade Show Backdrops? for finishing types and file tips.
- Upload and approve. The free graphic review checks your file before it prints. If you don't have a designer, Capital Exhibits offers Graphic Design Services.
8. Single-Sided or Double-Sided Tension Fabric?
Choose single-sided when the display stands against a wall or the back of an inline booth, and double-sided when people will see both faces. Double-sided adds cost but turns the display into a two-way sign.
| Product | Single-sided (Nov 2026) | Double-sided (Nov 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Wholesale 10ft Tension Fabric Tube Display | $536 | $608 |
| 10ft Tension Fabric Trade Show Display | EZ Tool-Free Setup | $699 | $925 |
| 10ft. EZ Stands Fabric Tube Display | $690 | $939 |
| 8x8 ft EZ Tube Straight Display | $883 | $1,128 |
| EZ Tube Straight 10 x 10 ft Tradeshow Display | $1,253 | $1,522 |
Single-sided graphics on many models come with a white or black back fabric. Black back fabric gives a neat finish when the rear of the display faces an aisle.
9. Combining Tension Fabric Pieces into a Full Booth
Because every EZ model uses the same tube-and-sleeve approach, you can mix backwalls, towers and counters so the whole booth matches. Order them together so the colors are printed in one run and reviewed as a set.
- Backwall with returns: the 10 ft. EZ Tube® Connect Kit N ($1,749 double-sided) includes a 10ft backwall frame, two return wall frames and their graphics, measuring 120"W x 90"H x 99.125"D.
- Tower: a fabric tower adds height at the booth corner. Read What Are the Advantages of Tension Fabric Display Towers?
- Counter: EZ Fabric Counters use the same printed fabric approach; see the EZ Fabric Counters collection.
10. Mistakes to Avoid When Buying a Custom Tension Fabric Display
Most problems with custom tension fabric displays come from ordering the wrong size or using the wrong template. A few checks before you pay prevent them.
- Using a template from another frame. Template sizes differ even between 10ft models, for example 114"W for the Wholesale 10ft display and 122"W for the 10ft EZ Tool-Free display.
- Ignoring depth. Straight walls run about 15" to 22" deep; a Kicktail is 55" deep.
- Choosing by price alone. A hard case with wheels, a taller frame or built-in storage can be worth the step up for frequent exhibitors.
- Forgetting the back. If the rear is visible, pick double-sided or black back fabric.
- Leaving it late. According to the Capital Exhibits FAQ, standard and rush production options exist, but leave time for the graphic review and any artwork changes.

If you want a quick, light backwall, start with a 10ft model; if you exhibit in larger spaces, the 15ft to 30ft EZ Tube walls use the same simple setup.
