Why Choose Our Collapsible Exhibition Backdrop?
Sets Up in Minutes — No Tools Required The hop-up frame locks together with simple clips and yellow tensioning arms that pull the structure tight and keep it stable. The fabric graphic attaches using hook-and-loop fixings around the edges, staying smooth and taut throughout your event. One person can assemble the whole display in under 10 minutes.
Folds Down Without Removing the Graphic Unlike pop-up systems that require you to take the print off every time, this collapsible backdrop folds away with the graphic still attached. That means faster pack-down at the end of a long event day and no risk of creasing your print during disassembly.
Premium Dye-Sublimation Fabric Print Graphics are produced on 260gsm stretch polyester using dye-sublimation printing — ink embedded directly into the fibres for colour that’s vibrant, sharp, and fade-resistant. The tension-fit design keeps the surface completely smooth with no wrinkles or sag, giving your brand a polished, seamless look.
Free-Standing — No Wall Needed The hop-up frame is fully self-supporting. No feet, no guy ropes, no wall required. Set it anywhere on your stand, use it as a room divider, or position it in front of a shell scheme — it holds its own.
Wheeled Carry Bag Included Every size comes with a wheeled carry bag for effortless transport and storage. Lightweight enough to check as hold luggage, compact enough to store in a van or under an exhibition table.

What Is a Collapsible Exhibition Backdrop Used For?
Trade Shows & Exhibitions — The most popular use. A full-width branded backwall transforms a blank shell scheme into a professional stand. The hop-up is the go-to choice for exhibitors who want impact without the weight or cost of a custom built stand. If you need something wider than 5m, try our fabric stretch walls, these go to 6m!
Conferences & Corporate Events — Use it as a stage backdrop, a press wall, or a speaker background. The clean flat surface and seamless print look excellent on camera and in photographs.
Retail Pop-Ups & Product Launches — Fast to set up, easy to relocate, and fully branded. Ideal for in-store activations, shopping centre promotions, and roadshows where you’re moving between venues.
Photo Backdrops & Press Walls — Step-and-repeat logo walls, interview backdrops, and social media photo walls. The smooth dye-sub fabric eliminates glare under flash photography and event lighting.
Offices & Showrooms — Use as a permanent branded backdrop in a reception or showroom. Swap the graphic for a new campaign without replacing the frame.
Frequently Asked Questions — Collapsible Exhibition Backdrop
How long does it take to set up?
Under 10 minutes for one person. The frame clips together, the locking arms tension it into shape, and the fabric attaches with hook-and-loop fixings. No tools required at any stage.
Does it need a wall to lean against?
No — the hop-up frame is fully free-standing. The yellow locking arms provide enough tension to keep the structure stable without wall support or feet.
Can I change the graphic without replacing the frame?
Yes. That’s one of the biggest advantages of this system. When you need updated artwork for a new campaign, just order a replacement graphic — the frame is reusable indefinitely.
Is a double-sided version available?
Yes. Double-sided graphics are available on request. Contact us on 01708 200166 or WhatsApp 07418 632219 and we’ll quote you directly.
Can I add lighting to my collapsible backdrop?
Yes — LED spotlights are available as an optional add-on to enhance visibility and make your graphics stand out in low-light exhibition venues.
What file format do I need for artwork?
PDF or PNG. Artwork should be supplied at the correct size or an equivalent ratio. Resolution of 150dpi or above at full size is ideal. Not sure? Our free design team will help you get it right before it goes to print.
How does it pack down for transport?
The frame collapses quickly without needing to remove the graphic, and everything fits into the included wheeled carry bag. The 3×2 weighs just 6.2kg — light enough to check as luggage or load into any car boot.
