My first time using Backdrop source and so far they have been a pleasure to work with. They have been extremely helpful throughout the process. Definitely give them a chance.
James ShevlinUSA
Wow! My banner added new life to my exhibition. The quality of the print was great and the cool bag that the pieces came in made it even more professional.
Merze Tate ExplorersUSA
I cannot thank you all enough! The backdrop arrived today and the front and back look beautiful! The colors are crisp and rich and look far better than I had expected! I will go nowhere else for future work! Backdropsource is the best! A+A+A+

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a portable custom printed counter? +
A portable custom printed counter is a branded display unit built on a lightweight aluminum frame and wrapped in full-color printed stretch fabric or SEG graphics. It functions as a professional-looking reception point, product demo station, or promotional desk at trade shows, events, and retail activations. Most models fold down into a compact carry bag, making them easy to transport between venues without freight costs.
What sizes are available for custom printed counters? +
Custom printed counters are available in a range of sizes to fit different booth layouts and event footprints. Common configurations include compact counters suited for small promotional setups and larger reception-style desks designed for corporate events or exhibition booths. At Backdropsource, you can select the size that matches your space requirements, and our team can help you identify the right format before you order.
How long does it take to set up a portable display counter? +
Most portable display counters are designed for tool-free assembly and can be set up in under ten minutes by one person. The aluminum frame snaps or locks into position, and the printed fabric sleeve or SEG panel slides over the frame without any special equipment. This makes them practical for exhibitors who are setting up multiple displays across a single event day or moving between venues on a tight schedule.
What materials are used in the fabric graphics on these counters? +
The graphics on Backdropsource custom printed counters are produced on high-quality stretch fabric using dye-sublimation printing, which bonds color directly into the fabric fibers rather than sitting on the surface. This results in vibrant, sharp imagery that resists fading, wrinkling, and cracking over time. The fabric is also PVC-free, making it a more sustainable choice for brands that have environmental commitments built into their procurement decisions.
Can I get a counter with internal storage or shelving? +
Yes. Several counter formats in the Backdropsource range include internal shelf space or storage compartments built into the aluminum frame structure. This is particularly useful for product demos, literature distribution, or storing personal items during a long trade show day. If storage capacity is a priority for your setup, contact our team before ordering and we will point you to the models that best match your needs.
How do I prepare artwork for a custom printed counter? +
Artwork should be supplied as a high-resolution file, typically at 150 DPI or higher at full print size, in a print-ready format such as PDF, AI, or EPS with all fonts outlined and bleed included. If your files are not yet print-ready, Backdropsource offers free artwork assistance to help you get there. We also provide complimentary 2D mockups so you can review how your graphics will look on the counter before production begins.
Are portable counters suitable for outdoor events? +
Portable custom printed counters are primarily designed for indoor use at trade shows, conferences, exhibitions, and retail environments. While the aluminum frames are durable and the fabric graphics are wrinkle-resistant, prolonged exposure to wind, rain, or direct sunlight can affect both the frame stability and the print longevity. For outdoor activations, speak with our team about the most suitable counter format and any additional anchoring or protection options available.
How are custom printed counters shipped, and how long does delivery take? +
Backdropsource offers free shipping on all orders within the continental United States with no hidden charges. Counters are packed into compact carry bags or shipping cases depending on the model, keeping freight dimensions manageable. Production and delivery timelines vary based on the complexity of your order, so we recommend reaching out to our team early in your planning process to confirm lead times and ensure your counter arrives ahead of your event date.
Can I reuse the counter frame with updated fabric graphics? +
Yes, and this is one of the key advantages of fabric-based display counters. The aluminum frame is built to last, and the printed fabric graphic is a separate component that can be replaced independently. When your branding changes or you need a different design for a new campaign, you can order a replacement fabric print without purchasing an entirely new counter system. This makes the long-term cost of ownership significantly lower than rigid display alternatives.
What types of events are custom printed counters used for? +
Custom printed counters are used across a wide range of professional settings including trade shows, exhibitions, product launches, corporate conferences, retail pop-up shops, brand activations, and photography events. They work equally well as a staffed interaction point in a large exhibition booth or as a standalone branded presence at a smaller promotional event. Their portability means the same counter can move between multiple venues throughout an event season.
Does Backdropsource offer a warranty on custom printed counters? +
Yes. All custom printed counters from Backdropsource are covered by a 1-year product warranty. This covers structural defects in the aluminum frame and hardware components under normal use conditions. If you experience any issue with your counter within the warranty period, contact our team directly at sales@backdropsource.com or call us at +1 (650) 614-1888 and we will work to resolve it promptly.
How do I choose between a standard counter and a backlit or SEG lightbox counter? +
The right choice depends on your environment and how much visual impact you need. A standard custom printed counter with stretch fabric graphics works well in well-lit trade show halls and delivers strong brand visibility at a straightforward price point. A backlit or SEG lightbox counter adds internal LED illumination that makes your graphics glow, which is particularly effective in dimly lit venues, evening events, or situations where you want your booth to stand out from a crowded show floor.
