Use the listed print dimensions when preparing artwork for a straight fabric backdrop, and use its nominal frame size to identify the display you want. Tandaku's Straight Fabric Backdrop 8 × 8 ft has a listed print size of 233 × 233 cm and costs RM513.50 with a portable frame and one-sided printed graphic, before delivery and selected options. Check the space at your venue separately before choosing the frame.
Is a straight fabric backdrop the same as tension fabric?
Yes. Tandaku's straight fabric backdrop is a stretch-fabric display supplied with a portable frame. The printed fabric forms the face of the display; it is a complete display kit.
The word “fabric” on its own does not tell you what is included. A loose fabric banner or table throw is also fabric printing, but it does not automatically come with a frame. Look for the complete product name and the included parts when comparing prices.
If you need a freestanding background for a booth, start with the straight tension fabric display. If you already have a suitable support and only need a hanging cloth, a loose print may be enough. Confirm the intended fitting before ordering a print for equipment you already own.
Which frame size matches which artwork size?
The straight backdrop names use nominal frame sizes in feet. The price list gives separate print dimensions in centimetres. Use the matching print dimensions for your selected product rather than converting the feet in its name into an artwork canvas.
| Straight fabric backdrop | Listed print size | Price with frame and one-sided graphic |
|---|---|---|
| 8 × 8 ft | 233 × 233 cm | RM513.50 |
| 8 × 10 ft | 303 × 233 cm | RM605.80 |
| 8 × 12 ft | 363 × 233 cm | RM715.00 |
| 8 × 16 ft | 493 × 233 cm | RM919.10 |
| 8 × 20 ft | 604 × 233 cm | RM1108.90 |
These are listed kit prices before delivery and selected options. Notice that the nominal product name and the print dimensions describe different things. Keep both with your order brief so the artwork is prepared for the right display.
Measure the usable booth space before choosing. Consider ceiling clearance, nearby counters, access routes and the space needed to position the frame. The print dimensions alone do not establish the complete assembled footprint, so confirm that separately if the fit is tight.
Should you buy a complete display or a loose print?
Choose according to what will hold the graphic up. A low print price is useful when you already have a suitable support; a complete kit solves a different need.
| Product | What you receive | Listed pricing basis |
|---|---|---|
| Flex Backdrop 380gsm | Printed flex backdrop without a support frame | RM21.50 per m² |
| Premium Backdrop 510gsm | Heavier printed flex backdrop without a support frame | RM28.00 per m² |
| Satin Fabric 110gsm | Loose printed satin fabric without a stand | RM25.19 per m² |
| Straight Fabric Backdrop 8 × 8 ft | Portable frame and one-sided printed stretch-fabric graphic | RM513.50 per kit |
The area rates above are before finishing options and delivery. They are not complete event-display prices.
The cheaper Flex Backdrop 380gsm can be enough for a temporary event background when you have a suitable way to support it. Premium Backdrop 510gsm hangs flatter and resists creasing for repeated use. Loose satin is suitable for a draped table throw or an indoor hanging display, rather than being an automatic substitute for a fitted stretch-fabric graphic.
You can price a flex backdrop, choose a complete tension fabric display, or order a loose fabric print. For hanging choices on flex, see the backdrop sizes and hanging guide.
How should you prepare artwork for the selected size?
Choose the exact display before finalising the artwork. Keep its product name and listed print dimensions together, then confirm the artwork requirements for that selection. A design prepared for a loose hanging banner should be checked again before being used on a fitted fabric display.
Keep the important wording and logos away from the edges. Allow the background to continue around the main design so that an edge adjustment does not cut through essential information. If a fitting template is needed, confirm it before treating the file as ready to print.
Think about what will stand in front of the backdrop. A counter, a table or people posing for photographs can hide the lower part of the graphic. Put the main identity where it will remain visible in the intended setup.
Check image sharpness at the intended print size rather than judging only a small screen preview. Use the large-format artwork preparation guide for file preparation, and confirm any requirements specific to your chosen display before exporting.
What should you check when reusing an existing frame?
Keep the frame model, its dimensions and any original artwork template together. A nominal size alone is not enough to establish whether a new graphic will fit equipment from a different range.
Record how the current graphic attaches and measure the existing graphic if you still have it. Photographs of the complete frame and its fittings can help explain what needs to fit. Confirm compatibility before buying a loose print for that frame.
Do not assume that a satin sheet will become a fitted tension graphic because its width looks similar. The fabric type, finished dimensions and attachment method all need to suit the support. If compatibility is uncertain, settle that question before spending on printing.
How do you get a useful price and quotation?
Select the complete product you need, then check the size, printed sides and included hardware. For a straight fabric backdrop, the listed kit includes a portable frame and one-sided printed graphic. Select any other available options before comparing the final amount.
If you also need a table covering, keep it as a separate specification. State the table dimensions and how you want the cloth to sit, rather than assuming the backdrop size determines the table throw.
For company approval, a quotation or proforma invoice PDF is available at checkout. Check the selected items and delivery charge before sharing it, so the document describes the display you actually intend to order.
