5 benefits of tension fabric systems

TFS frames can transform your space

Tension fabric systems (TFS) are ideal for any display area. Available as free-standing, wall-mounted, or hanging displays, these multifunctional frames can be displayed just about anywhere, whether in retail environments, events, exhibitions, media walls, or other venues.

Undoubtedly, you’re here as you’re already tempted by what TFS offers. But what is all the fuss really about? What makes it different from a standard graphic display? Let’s share the top 5 benefits you can enjoy using TFS.

Interchangeability

Once the frame is purchased, the opportunities are limitless as to how you can dress it. With every new event, rebrand or redesign you can simply buy another graphic to fit with minimal effort- and no special tools required! This also saves you the price of buying whole new signage, which is often the case with more temporary fixtures.

Sustainability

The carbon footprint for TFS graphics is extremely low compared with other traditional display materials: They use less raw material, weigh less, and pack down better for easy, low-cost transport. They are 100% PET, so they are totally PVC—and phthalate-free and recyclable.

Logistics

The transportation and storage of TFS graphics could not be easier. They pack down into a bag, offering significant savings on logistics and storage. Technical data sheets are available for each of our dye-subprinted fabric types, with details on how to care for and store your graphics and how easily creasing will drop out under tension.

Versatility

TFS is becoming increasingly popular in the display, exhibition, and retail markets thanks to its versatile nature and the increasing number of systems available.

Offering fantastic value for money and vastly superior sustainable benefits than traditional build-and-burn systems, TFS systems are generally easy to transport and available with numerous options or features, such as freestandingwall-mount systems, modular and self-build display and exhibition systems, and lightbox displays to create stunning backlit displays.

TFS graphics themselves are seamless up to 3M by any length and available in 3 core fabric types: frontlit for wall displays, block out (blackback) for freestanding displays, and backlit for light boxes.

We generally recommend dye-subprinted graphics for exhibition and display applications. They are foldable, and the range of fabrics is inherently stretchier than products available for UV printing, so fitment is far more consistent. However, we recognise that there are times when UV-printed TFS graphics are preferred, which is why we offer clients both options.

Value for money

£ Pound for £ Pound TFS systems and graphics can save you some serious money. Not only are the graphic production costs on a par to many traditional display materials, once you factor in logistics and storage saving, disposal costs and time saved installing you will soon see how it delivers exceptional value for money. Add the versatility and reusability of the TFS frame systems and the interchangeable nature of the graphics, plus factor in that you do not need a specialist to install the graphics, anyone willing to invest in TFS systems will quickly realise a positive return on investment.
