8ft Straight Tension Fabric Display – Custom 8x8 Trade Show Backdrop

The 8ft Straight Tension Fabric Display is a clean, professional 8x8 backdrop designed for standard 10x10 trade show booths. The lightweight aluminum tube frame snaps together without tools, and the tension fabric “pillowcase” graphic simply slips over the frame and zips closed along the bottom for a smooth, wrinkle-resistant appearance.

This 8ft fabric trade show backdrop works perfectly as a main backwall, step and repeat banner, press wall, or photo backdrop at events. The compact footprint leaves plenty of room in your 10x10 booth for counters, tables and product displays while still giving you a full-size branded graphic area.
