6m Backdrop Displays for Expos, Stages & Events

A 6m backdrop is wide enough to anchor a double-width trade show booth, fill the back of a stage or create a photo-ready branded wall at a gala. To narrow the range quickly, start with how the wall will be used. Then choose a format and a height.

Match the wall to the job

• Exhibition or expo stand: A straight or curved tension fabric wall works as a simple back wall. Folding SEG booth kits add return walls, arches or dividers for a more built-in look.
• Stage backdrop: A straight tension fabric wall or the Non-Backlit SEG Fabric Media Wall - 6m W gives presenters a wide, clean print surface that reads well from the back row and on camera.
• Sponsor wall: The Tension Fabric Step & Repeat Display Wall repeats partner logos across the full width, so they appear in every photo.
• Press wall: Pair a straight wall with the Red Carpet add-on (complete from NZD 206) for arrivals and media interviews.
• Conference backdrop: Behind a lectern or panel table, a curved wall or a kit with built-in lights adds depth without a complicated build.
• Entrances and activations: 6m arches and the 360° Signature Capture Booth turn a backdrop into a space people walk through or step into.

If one wall has to do two jobs, decide which one matters most to your client or manager. For example, a conference stage might also serve as a sponsor photo spot. Choose the format around that main use.

The width is fixed at 6m, but the height changes how the wall looks over a crowd, on a stage and in photos. Before you choose, check:

• the venue's ceiling height
• any rigging or lighting bars
• the height of any stage riser

Heights available at 6m

• 2m H: The lower option on all six 6m folding SEG booth kits. It is handy where hall rules cap stand wall height.
• 2.3m H: The standard height for the 6m tension fabric, pop-up, LED spotlight and wave walls. It is also the taller booth kit option.
• 2.4m H: The Modular U-Shape Fabric Display Stand at 6m W x 2.4m H wraps around a space for a semi-enclosed feel.
• 2.5m H: The 6m SEG media wall and LED lightbox, plus the 360° Signature Capture Booth at 6m Dia x 2.5m H.
• 3m H: The 6m SEG media wall and LED lightbox, plus the 6m L square tension fabric arches. Choose this for stages and large halls where the wall needs to stay visible above people's heads.

Allow for depth

Footprint matters on a tight expo stand. The 6m pop-up walls are 0.3m deep, the 6m SEG walls are 120mm deep and the folding SEG booth kits are 4cm deep. Return walls or arches add to that.

1. Shortlist and check the lead time. Open two or three product pages, compare sizes and confirm the production lead time listed there. It is often 24 business hours after artwork approval.
2. Send artwork or ask for a free 2D mockup. A mockup preview shows your design on the chosen display, and nothing goes to print until you approve the artwork.
3. Check your measurements before sign-off. Custom-printed graphics cannot be returned after proof approval, so confirm the width, height and depth against your stand or stage plan first.
4. Plan the build. Most frame-based displays are tool-free and come with a soft carry bag. This makes them easier to move between the car park, the venue and storage.
5. Keep the frame for next time. Order replacement graphics when your messaging changes. Print errors are reprinted free.
