Artwork Guidelines for Flawless Output
Follow our technical guidelines to ensure rapid pre-flight approval and perfect seam alignment across exhibition drops.
50mm Stretch Bleed
For fabric backdrops, supply 50mm perimeter bleed to allow for elasticity. Keep text 75mm inside finished trim borders.
Seam & Drop Safe Zones
For pop-up stands, submit artwork as a continuous canvas. Ensure typography does not straddle vertical drop seam splits.

Save files in CMYK Fogra39 at 150 DPI. Formulate rich black as C:40 M:30 Y:30 K:100 for deep, lustrous fabric backdrops.

Frequently Asked Questions: Exhibition Banners
Everything you need to know about venue fire certificates, pop-up mechanics, direct stand drops, and emergency replacement printing.
What is the primary difference between a pop-up display stand and a tension fabric wall?
A pop-up display stand uses an expandable aluminium scissor-lattice frame onto which flexible, semi-rigid stoplight magnetic graphic panels are hung vertically. A tension fabric wall uses a lightweight 32mm tubular aluminium frame over which a seamless stretch polyester fabric sleeve is pulled and zipped tight like a pillowcase. Pop-up stands offer classic curved panelling with integrated case podiums, while tension fabric displays are lighter, more compact to transport, 100% seamless without vertical panel joins, and completely non-reflective under bright hall floodlights.
Do London exhibition venues require fire certificates for banners and stands?
Yes. Major UK exhibition centres including ExCeL London, Olympia London, and the Business Design Centre mandate that all indoor display graphics, backdrops, and shell scheme cladding possess certified flame retardancy complying with European Standard DIN 4102-1 Class B1 or British Standard BS 5867. Venue safety officers conduct strict spot checks during stand build-up days and will order non-compliant graphics to be taken down immediately. LightPrint issues verified, official Certificates of Fire Conformity with every exhibition order.
Can LightPrint deliver directly to our exhibition stand at ExCeL London or Olympia?
Yes. We provide direct-to-venue courier dispatch across Greater London. When ordering, simply provide your venue name, exhibition hall (Western or Eastern Hall), event name, and allocated stand number. Our courier delivers directly to your stand location or designated venue loading dock during your scheduled build-up window.
How quickly can you print a replacement exhibition banner in an emergency?
For standard roller banners and replacement tension fabric graphics, our in-house wide-format digital engines can complete production within 45 to 60 minutes from file approval. We can dispatch a dedicated courier to reach ExCeL London or Central London venues in approximately 20 to 45 minutes, ensuring total turnaround from order to booth delivery within 2 to 3 hours.
Can I reuse my existing exhibition frame and just order replacement printed graphics?
Yes. If you already own a standard 3×3 or 3×4 pop-up magnetic frame, an 850mm roller banner cassette, or a 32mm tubular tension fabric frame, you do not need to purchase new hardware. LightPrint prints custom replacement graphic panels and zippered fabric sleeves tailored to your exact hardware dimensions, saving up to 50% on exhibition costs.
What artwork resolution is needed for large-scale exhibition backdrops?
Because exhibition displays are viewed from both distance and close-up inside the booth, artwork should be prepared at 100% full scale at 125 to 150 DPI, or at 50% half scale at 300 DPI in CMYK Fogra39 color mode. Vector logos and typography should always be converted to outlines to ensure pin-sharp clarity regardless of viewing distance.
How long does it take for one person to assemble a 3-metre tension fabric backdrop?
A single person can fully assemble our 3-metre tubular tension fabric backdrop in approximately 4 to 5 minutes without any tools. The lightweight aluminium tubes snap together with numbered push-pin joints, after which the stretch fabric sleeve slides smoothly over the frame and zips tight along the bottom.
Can I collect our exhibition banners outside regular business hours?
Yes. LightPrint operates a 24-hour collection counter at our main production workshop at 140 Mile End Road, London E1 4LJ. If you need to collect your graphics late at night or early in the morning prior to exhibition doors opening, simply inform our team when placing your order, and your completed display package will be safely staged for immediate collection.
