Austin Trade Show Displays
Exhibit Graphics & Large-Format Printing
Color-managed fabric, SEG, and rigid graphics are printed in Austin with Pantone matching, finishing notes for your crew, and spare sets staged for show-floor emergencies.
Service overview
Austin Trade Show Displays operates color-calibrated wide-format printers that produce dye-sublimation fabric graphics, tension-fabric SEG panels, rigid PVC and foam-core signage, and floor decals for Austin Convention Center, Palmer Events Center, and regional trade show circuits. Every print job passes through a Pantone-matching test run, gets inspected for banding or registration errors, and ships with finishing instructions so your I&D crew or in-house staff installs graphics cleanly.
Our production workflow begins with a client-supplied art file—PDF/X-1a, Adobe Illustrator, or high-res layered PSD. We audit for bleed, resolution, embedded fonts, and color profiles, then generate a digital proof annotated with Pantone swatch references. Once approved, prints move to finishing: hemming fabric graphics with pole pockets or silicone-edge gaskets, mounting rigid panels to backing boards, or laminating floor graphics with slip-resistant overlaminates rated for high-traffic aisles.
Because we're located in Austin, last-minute graphic corrections or replacement panels can often be produced overnight and couriered to the Austin Convention Center loading dock or Palmer back-of-house during show hours. We archive your final print files with version histories so reprints for future shows are accurate, and we stage spare graphics when your booth includes high-wear zones like product demo tables or interactive kiosks.
Why Austin exhibitors trust our graphics production
Trade show graphics are the first thing attendees see from the aisle—and the first thing that fails when color accuracy, registration, or finishing quality falls short. Austin Trade Show Displays operates calibrated printers and employs production specialists who understand Pantone matching, substrate selection, and the finishing details that separate polished exhibits from amateur installs.
- You need Pantone-accurate brand colors. We run test swatches, compare them to your PMS references, and adjust printer profiles until output matches your brand guidelines.
- Last-minute corrections threaten your timeline. Because we're local to Austin, rush reprints can be produced overnight and delivered to the Convention Center dock during show hours.
- Your graphics must survive repeated installs. We select durable substrates, reinforce hems and grommets, and apply protective laminates so graphics withstand handling without fading or tearing.
Graphics substrates & applications
Dye-sublimation fabric graphics
Lightweight, wrinkle-resistant fabric ideal for backlit displays, tension-fabric frames, and hanging banners. Prints ship folded without crease damage.
Silicone-edge graphics (SEG)
Fabric panels with sewn silicone beading that insert into aluminum frames for taut, seamless graphics. Ideal for lightboxes and modular walls.
Rigid PVC, foam-core & sintra panels
Durable, easy-to-mount panels for counters, headers, dimensional signage, and product displays. We can die-cut custom shapes or add standoffs for depth.
Floor graphics & vinyl decals
Slip-resistant floor graphics with protective overlaminates, plus cut vinyl for windows, vehicles, and directional signage.
Print production workflow & quality control
File preflight & proofing
We audit your files for resolution (minimum 150 DPI at full size), bleed (typically 2–3 inches), embedded fonts, and CMYK color mode. Digital proofs show Pantone approximations.
Calibrated printing & color matching
Printers are profiled weekly. We run test swatches for critical brand colors, compare them to Pantone solid coated books, and adjust ICC profiles as needed.
Finishing, packing & install notes
Fabric graphics are hemmed with pole pockets or sewn with silicone edges. Rigid panels are mounted to backing boards. We include install diagrams and label each panel by booth location.

File audit & proof generation
We check your artwork for resolution, bleed, color mode, and embedded fonts, then produce a calibrated proof with Pantone references for your approval.
Print production & finishing
Approved files print on dye-sub fabric, SEG material, or rigid substrates. Finishing includes hemming, mounting, laminating, or die-cutting to install-ready specifications.
Delivery & archive management
