Curved vs Straight

Curved pop-up displays create a more dynamic, enveloping backdrop — the curved shape draws visitors in and adds a sense of depth and presence to your stand. Straight pop-up displays offer a clean, flat backdrop that sits flush against a wall or stand partition — ideal for more structured stand layouts or venues where a curved display would encroach on neighbouring stands. All sizes are available in both configurations.

Who Is It For?

Traditional pop-up displays are popular with exhibition stand holders, event marketers, corporate businesses, charities, universities, healthcare organisations and brand agencies across Brighton & Hove and the wider UK. Ideal for trade shows, conferences, product launches, retail events and any environment where a large-format, professional branded backdrop is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Traditional pop-up displays use semi-rigid CrystalFlex graphic panels that attach to the frame via pre-fixed magnetic bars — giving a crisp, rigid graphic finish. SEG fabric pop-up displays use a soft stretch fabric graphic with a silicone edge that slots into the aluminium frame — giving a seamless, tensioned fabric finish. Traditional pop-ups are the more established format with a complete carry case and tabletop included as standard. See our SEG fabric pop-up displays for the fabric alternative.

Curved pop-up displays create a more immersive, enveloping backdrop that draws visitors in — a popular choice for open-plan exhibition stands where the display forms a branded environment rather than just a backdrop. Straight displays offer a clean, structured flat backdrop — ideal for stands positioned against walls, or where the venue layout requires a more compact depth. The curved configuration also adds significantly more depth to larger sizes — worth considering when planning your floor space.

Setup takes approximately 15 minutes. The aluminium frame expands from the carry case, the graphic panels attach via the pre-fixed magnetic bars, and the LED lights clip into position. The wooden tabletop sits on top of the carry case to create a branded counter. The entire display is supplied ready to use — no specialist knowledge or tools required.

Yes — the moulded wheeled carry case doubles as a branded counter with the included wooden tabletop. This is one of the most popular features of the traditional pop-up system — the carry case that transports your display to the event becomes a functional, professional counter on the stand itself. For a fully branded counter front, see our pop-up carry case graphic.

The 1×3 size includes one LED light. All larger sizes — 2×3, 3×3, 4×3 and 5×3 — include two LED lights. The lights illuminate the graphic from above for enhanced visual impact, particularly in darker exhibition halls where a well-lit display stands out significantly from unlit competitors.

Traditional pop-up displays pair perfectly with our pop-up counter, literature stand, roller banners and printed lanyards for a complete, cohesive exhibition presence. All available with collection from our Brighton print shop or UK-wide delivery.
