What is included with my Master Straight Backwall?
Your purchase includes the complete aircraft-grade aluminum tension fabric frame, a custom dye-sublimated pillowcase graphic, and an OCL hard-shell carry case with wheels.
How long does setup take at the show?
Most exhibitors set up the Master Straight Backwall in 15–20 minutes. The frame assembles tool-free and the pillowcase graphic zips on smoothly for a perfectly tensioned finish.
Does it fit in a standard 10’ × 10’ trade show booth?
The 8’ and 10’ configurations are designed for 10’ × 10’ booths. The 12’, 15’, and 20’ sizes are ideal for 20’ or larger inline and peninsula booths.
What artwork file format do I need?
Submit print-ready artwork as a high-resolution PDF, AI, or EPS at 300 dpi minimum. Download the correct size template from the Templates tab for precise panel dimensions and bleed guides.
Can I use the same frame with a different graphic?
Yes. The Formulate Master frame is designed to be reused for years. Replacement graphics can be ordered at any time. The lifetime hardware warranty covers the frame indefinitely.
What does the OCL carry case look like?
The OCL (Orbus Carry Large) case is a rigid, wheeled hard-shell case with a pull handle — similar to airline luggage. It protects the frame during shipping and at the show.
How can I get my order?
You can pick up your order from the shop during the week under normal working hours. If you will need your order to be delivered with in the city or shipped outside, we will be more than happy to arrange that too.
Why do I need bleed in the file?
"Bleed" is an extra 1/8 inch (0.125") of artwork that extends beyond the edge of the card. We cut through this area to ensure your design goes all the way to the edge without leaving any white hairline borders.
Which black should I use?
For large black backgrounds: Use Rich Black (C=75 M=68 Y=67 K=90).
This creates a deep, dark black.
For small text: Use 100% Black (K=100) to keep the text sharp and crisp.
.
Which color format is best: RGB or CMYK?
Please design in CMYK.
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is for computer screens.
CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) is for printing.
Note: If you submit an RGB file, we will convert it for you, but the colors may shift slightly.
Do you check my artwork before printing?
Yes! To ensure the best quality, our pre-production team reviews every file for correct bleed and sizing.
If we find an issue: We will contact you immediately via email or phone and advise you on how to fix the file.
Design Tip: To avoid cutting off essential elements (like phone numbers or logos), please keep them at least 0.125" (3.175 mm) away from the edge. This is called the "Safety Zone." Only your background colors or images should extend to the edge.
Which file format will be the best for printing?
We prefer a high-quality PDF with bleed included. We also accept high-resolution JPG or PNG files (300 DPI).
