    Need a backdrop designed and produced for an upcoming trade show in 4 weeks. Ideally looking for a striking visual (have basic idea) which will be outputted to large canvas or similar and tacked to stud partition.

    Not looking for a Pop Up display have all that already. We're planning to build a stud wall (framework) apprx dimensions 5m (L) x 2m (H) and we'd like to have a single sheet (paper or poly paper whatever but reasonable resilient) that we can fix to stud frame and catch the eye of passing traffic etc.

    So need some graphics input and then the hardcopy (large format yeah).

    Anyone interested?

    It would be great if you could tell us what you have in mind? Any links to examples of what your vision is for this backdrop?

    Essentially a close of green planting but with a clever inclusion of a flower, our company logo and a short caption. I need help to do the visual and where can I get large format print 5mx2m? You know a billboard type poster and ideally on a material that would be reasonably resilient /tear proof but offer good print definition.

    Contact Tara in selectdigital.ie, I'd let them handle the design as well if I were you.

    We do these all the time....Any sign company will be able to do this, PM me if you wish. 5mm Foamex would be suitable material to use.

    4880*2440mm should cost approx €350-€400, full digital print onto foamex

    Forgot about foamex - not a bad idea, but transporting foamex panels to event might be awkward. Handle with care and all of that.

    Out of interest, thinking about re-usability, what would it cost to have (using your dimensions) an external canvas printed up similar to those you see like temporary billboards?

    We could remove and roll up for next event?

    I'm looking for an alternative and get from those hassles with pop up displays and panels out of alignment because of problems with magnetic strips etc etc.

    If you budget for approx €50-€60 per square metre of digital print you won't be far wrong, and then it would depend on your substrate.

    For an 8ft*4ft external banner on exterior grade PVC/Canvas, you're looking at approx €220+VAT
