Pop Up Stand Replacement Graphics & Frame Repairs

Why use old graphics at your next exhibition when new exhibition graphics fitted to your old stand will look so much better and will also save you money on buying a completely new system.

RGL Displays prints replacement graphics to fit most makes of exhibition stands including the ever popular pop up stands and also almost all kinds of roller banners and banner stands.

If you are thinking of ditching your old stand and buying a completely new one, stop and think about the cost to the environment and your company. Maybe all it needs is a set of new graphics ?

We can also help fix most makes of pop up stand frames if they are damaged, so a bent frame need not mean a new one is always required !

When buying a new frame it is also worth considering that if one day your frame does become damaged it would be better to have purchased a well known make and brand that can be fixed in years to come.

RGL Displays supplies the most popular makes of exhibition stands in the UK so that you can be sure of buying a product that is easy to replace the graphics or fix at a later date if needed.

Exhibiting on an extremely tight budget

I have been in the print industry now for over 25 years and spent the past 21 years specialising in large format print for exhibitions.

In this time the costs of producing large format graphics for exhibitions has dramatically dropped due to changes in technology and print methods, but this doesn't stop the need for even cheaper prices and cost savings.

I am often called by people that have purchased a second hand exhibition stand who are looking for advice on purchasing new graphics to fit to an old frame or stand structure. This can in some cases work out really well if you are lucky enough to have purchased a stand that has been well looked after. If you are in any doubt you can email me photos of what you are potentially looking to buy and I will give you my advice and give you a price for new graphics.

The other option is to buy from new.

If buying from new you will need to consider - build quality of hardware, printing quality of graphics, easy of use and of course customer service and attention to detail from your supplier.

At RGL Displays we have many different options for your exhibition stand hardware and you can always be assured that you will receive top quality printed graphics with exceptional customer service.

If you are looking to exhibit on a tight budget please give me a call or visit our website to see how RGL can help you at your next exhibition, conference or event.

3x3 Exhibition Stands still proving as popular as ever !

For many years now 3x3 pop up stands have been one of the most popular exhibition stands used by exhibitors all over the UK and worldwide.

This doesn't appear to be changing, and at RGL Displays we continue to sell more of these types of exhibition stand than anything else we offer.

To find out more about these exhibition stands visit our link below.

What size exhibition stand should you buy ?

We often get asked the question; What size exhibition stand will fit within my allocated exhibition floor area ?

To help remove some of the confusion as to how much floor space the most popular pop up stands take up we have added a webpage to help with this, which can be found here.

The most common mistake made by people looking to order a pop up stand is of assuming a 3x3 pop up stand is 3 metres wide by 3 metres high. This is not the case, as the 3x3 instead refers to the number of frame sections within the collapsible frame structure. Thus a 3x3 has 3 frame sections wide and 3 frame sections high.

Just to confuse people even further, some manufacturers refer to a 3x4 as 3 frame sections high by 4 frame sections wide (most common) and others refer to this as 3 frame sections wide by 4 frame sections high !
The same goes for other sizes of pop up stands like 3x2, 3x5 and 3x6.

If you are in any doubt please feel free to contact us for more help.

Environmentally friendly wide format printing

With the ever growing demand for environmentally friendly printing. RGL have recently taken delivery of another environmentally friendly printing machine that prints using the very latest Latex technology.

This wide format printer prints without any harmful solvents which is not only great for the world that we live in but also the health of the operators.


Far too often wide format printing machines are not adequately ventilated when solvent printing is being used which is why we prefer to use water based inks that give off no harmful vapors.

In the past the result of not using solvent inks for outdoor work had its restrictions as to both the range of substrates and also the quality of printing.

This is no longer an issue as our Latex printer has a wide range of media to choose from including banner 
PVC, self adhesive vinyl's, textiles, papers and wallpapers.

For custom wallpapers the HP PVC-free Wall Paper printed with HP Latex Inks is GREENGUARD Children & Schools Certified® and meets AgBB criteria for health-related evaluation of VOC emissions of indoor building products.
Likewise both 
outdoor banners and indoor PVC banners can be printed to very high standards without the smell of solvent and also be fire rated to meet health and safety standards.
