Seamless Tension Booth Skin (130gsm Jersey) — Knitted as a continuous tube, so a pillowcase cover slips on with no side seam at all, specified for trade-show graphics.
Circular knitting produces cloth as a seamless tube rather than a flat width that has to be joined. For a pillowcase-style frame cover that removes the vertical seam line entirely — nothing interrupts the artwork as it wraps around the frame edge. It is a small detail that is very visible in photographs of a finished stand.
Trade-show graphics travel. They get packed into a case, flown or driven across the country, assembled by whoever is on the stand that morning, and taken down again three days later — repeatedly, across a season. Fabric earns its place in that cycle because it folds without permanent creasing and pulls flat again under tension.

Choosing the right specification
Measure your frame system before anything else. SEG extrusions differ between manufacturers, and a graphic cut for the wrong groove will not seat cleanly, so tell us the frame make and model when you order. It is also worth checking your venue's own exhibitor rules early, since they can set requirements on materials and rigging that are easier to design around than to fix on site.
How ordering works
- Send your artwork — Upload print-ready artwork at any stage — we check scale, resolution and bleed before anything goes to press and come back to you if something needs adjusting.
- Made to your size — Every panel is cut and finished to your dimensions. Tell us the finished size you need and how it is being fixed, and we will allow for hems and fixings correctly.
- Printed by dye-sublimation — Colour is transferred into the polyester fibre under heat, so the image becomes part of the cloth rather than a layer sitting on top of it.
- Finished and shipped — Hems, eyelets, pole pockets, silicone edge and other finishing are applied before your order is folded, boxed and dispatched worldwide.

Technical detail
What to expect from service life. Indoors and out of direct sun, printed polyester holds its appearance for five years or more. Outdoors, published ranges for dye-sublimated polyester run from roughly six to twenty-four months depending on how exposed the position is, with the shorter end applying in high-ultraviolet regions such as the Southwest, Florida and the Gulf Coast, and in coastal or high-wind locations. Sheltered and north-facing installations reach the longer end. Coated and tarpaulin-grade constructions extend beyond that band because the coating carries the UV load.
Best suited to
Pillowcase-style frame covers and seamless tension skins where an uninterrupted wrap around the frame edge matters.
