Printing processes

An Overview of Our Printing Processes

Through a network of specialised print partners, EXFAIR offers four B1-certified printing processes for exhibition stands: dye-sublimation for fabrics, UV flatbed direct printing for rigid materials, UV printing for large formats and latex printing for flexible surfaces. All four meet the fire safety requirements of German exhibition venues.

Sublimation printing for trade show booths

Dye-sublimation is the preferred printing process for exhibition stands with fabric graphics. The fabric is printed directly and the colours are permanently fixed with heat – smudge-proof, UV-resistant and odourless. Water-based inks without solvents. The finished fabrics can be folded for transport and reused many times – ideal for light frames, SEG systems and exhibition walls.

Suited for

Light frames, SEG systems and exhibition walls

Direct UV printing on panels for trade show displays

UV flatbed direct printing is suited to rigid exhibition displays, product presentations and signage. Rigid boards are printed in photographic quality – single pieces or production runs, rectangular or in custom shapes. CNC milling allows rounded corners, drill holes and puzzle patterns.

Exhibition displays, product presentations and signage

UV Printing for Large Formats & Banners

UV printing is the standard method for large-format textile and banner applications at trade shows. The inks dry instantly under UV light and adhere permanently—UV-resistant and solvent-free. For scaffolding banners, light boxes, and outdoor applications: surface-print, backlit, and blockout materials. Mesh printing for breathability or transparency.

Scaffold banners, lightboxes and outdoor applications

Latex/UV gel printing for flexible surfaces

Latex printing produces high-quality prints on PVC tarps, stickers, wallpaper, fabrics, textiles, and paper. Water-based latex inks contain no harmful solvents and are odorless during printing and in the finished product. Minimal emissions of volatile compounds make latex printing an environmentally friendly choice for trade show installations.

Which printing process suits which purpose?

The choice depends mainly on material and use: fabric, rigid board or flexible film, indoors or outdoors, single use or reusable.

Large-format printing, custom-made & handcrafted

In large-format fabrication, fabric prints and promotional materials of all kinds are turned into exhibition-ready display surfaces: sewn, hemmed and finished with eyelets, keder, flat keder and hems – exactly to the requirements of each exhibition structure. EXFAIR coordinates production with experienced partners and remains your point of contact.

Precision Cutting: XXL Laser & CNC Milling

Fabrics are cut by XXL laser, cutting and sealing the fibres in a single pass – clean, accurate to the millimetre and free of fraying. Board prints are cut with camera-guided high-speed cutters, and production runs can be cut straight from the roll – for example vinyl stickers, magnetic film, acrylic lettering, rigid foam, aluminium composite and wood panels. Custom work: soft corners, drill holes, puzzle elements.

Get in touch

Which printing process suits exhibition stands with fabric graphics?

Dye-sublimation printing. The fabric is printed directly and the colours are permanently fixed with heat – smudge-proof, UV-resistant and odourless. The finished fabrics can be folded for transport and reused many times, for example for light frames, SEG systems and exhibition walls.

Are EXFAIR prints flame-retardant (B1)?

Yes. Through its print partners, EXFAIR offers four B1-certified printing processes: dye-sublimation, UV flatbed direct printing, UV printing for large formats and latex printing. They meet the fire safety requirements of German exhibition venues.

Who produces the prints?

EXFAIR works with several specialised print partners and chooses, for each project, the partner and process that best fit the material, format and schedule. EXFAIR remains your single point of contact – from advice to the finished exhibition graphics.

What is the difference between UV flatbed direct printing and UV printing for large formats?

UV flatbed direct printing prints rigid boards in photographic quality, for example for exhibition displays and signage. UV printing for large formats is intended for fabric and banner applications – with front-lit, back-lit and blockout materials as well as mesh printing.

Which formats are possible?

That depends on the process, the material and the print partner. Tell us dimensions, material and quantity – we will check the production with the right partner.

How environmentally friendly are the printing processes?

Dye-sublimation uses water-based inks without solvents, and the fabrics can be reused many times. Latex printing works with water-based inks without harmful solvents and releases only minimal volatile compounds.

Which finishing does EXFAIR offer?

Through our partners, prints are sewn, hemmed and finished with eyelets, keder, flat keder and hems to suit the exhibition structure. In addition, there is precision cutting by XXL laser and CNC milling with soft corners, drill holes and puzzle elements.
