Keep It Clean
Remove loose dirt gently before it builds up. Test any cleaning method in a small, inconspicuous area first, and avoid harsh chemicals unless the manufacturer specifically approves them.

Product Care & Maintenance
Protect your investment and keep your brand looking its best. These practical tips can help you care for your event displays between uses.
01 / Start Here
A little care goes a long way.
Different fabrics, inks, frames, and finishes may require different handling. Always follow the care instructions supplied with your specific product. These are general guidelines, not a replacement for manufacturer directions.
Store It Dry
Allow fabric and hardware to dry completely before packing. Moisture trapped in storage can cause odors, staining, and damage.
Handle With Care
Avoid dragging printed fabric across rough surfaces. Fold, roll, or pack each item according to its supplied instructions to minimize creasing and abrasion.
Inspect Before Every Event
Check seams, attachment points, fasteners, poles, and frames. Replace worn or damaged components before they become a problem during setup.
02 / Pop-Up Tents
Care for the canopy and the frame.
Setup & Weather
Follow the manufacturer's setup instructions and use the recommended anchoring or ballast for the surface and conditions. Pop-up tents are temporary shelters; take them down when weather exceeds the product's rated limits, including strong winds and storms.
Cleaning & Storage
Brush away debris and spot-clean the canopy only with methods approved for its fabric and coating. Let it dry fully before storage. Keep frame joints clear of dirt and check for bent parts or loose hardware.
Important: Never assume a tent is safe in wind or rain simply because it is anchored. Refer to its specific ratings and manufacturer guidance.
03 / Flags & Banners
Keep your graphics looking sharp.
Wind & Exposure
Outdoor flags and banners experience ongoing movement and weather exposure. Remove them during severe conditions and inspect edges, sleeves, grommets, and hardware regularly. Exposure and lifespan vary by material and location.
Cleaning & Packing
Remove loose dirt gently and follow the product's washing or spot-cleaning instructions. Do not assume all printed fabrics are machine washable. Dry completely before folding or rolling for storage.
04 / Table Covers
Make every setup look presentation-ready.
Cleaning
Check the care label before washing. Cleaning temperature, detergents, and drying methods depend on the fabric, print, and finishing. Avoid bleach, high heat, and aggressive scrubbing unless explicitly permitted.
Wrinkles & Storage
Store covers clean and dry. Fold neatly or use an approved storage method. If wrinkles occur, follow the manufacturer's guidance before steaming or ironing; direct heat may damage printed areas.
05 / Backdrops & Portable Displays
Protect the graphics and the hardware.
Printed Surfaces
Handle fabric panels and printed graphics with clean hands. Avoid sharp edges and abrasive surfaces. Use the recommended packing method to protect printed finishes from scuffs and creases.
Frames & Accessories
Check connectors, poles, feet, and carrying cases before and after use. Pack components securely and avoid forcing parts together during assembly.
