The Exhibitor’s Guide to Branded Pop-Up Tents

Q: How fast does a custom pop-up tent set up?

The accordion frame on an APG Exhibits custom pop-up tent opens in about 30 seconds with no tools. Most teams have the tent staked and fully branded within a couple of minutes.

Q: What sizes are available?

APG Exhibits offers custom pop-up tents in 5x5, 10x10, 10x15 and 10x20. The 5x5 comes on the V5 frame, and the other sizes are available on all four frames.

Q: What's the difference between the Base, Pro and Expo kits?

The Base kit is the frame plus a printed canopy. The Pro kit adds a printed backwall. The Expo kit adds the backwall and side walls for a fully enclosed booth.

Q: How do I choose a frame?

The frame is selected from a dropdown on each tent's product page. The V5 is the value steel option, the V4 is heavier-duty steel, the V4 Lite is the lightest aluminum frame and the V3 is the strongest, with a lifetime frame warranty.

Q: How are the tents printed?

APG Exhibits prints tent canopies with full-color dye sublimation, which bonds the ink into the fabric so graphics won't crack or peel. Options include a fully printed top, a printed front or a stock color.

Q: What walls and accessories can I add?

Available add-ons include full walls, walls with a door, walls with a clear vinyl window and railskirts, plus an awning and a branded counter for the V3 frame.

Q: Do I need weights for my tent?

Every APG Exhibits tent includes a standard stake kit for grass and soil. On pavement or in windy conditions, sandbags or rubber weights are recommended to keep the tent anchored.

Q: How long does it take to get a custom pop-up tent?

For most products, delivery is typically 10 to 12 business days from the time APG Exhibits receives print-ready art. The Delivery Date Needed field at checkout shows the first available date.

A custom pop-up tent turns any outdoor space into branded real estate. This guide covers everything you need to choose one: sizes, kits, frame grades, printing options, walls and accessories. Our printed canopies are available in 5×5, 10×10, 10×15 and 10×20.

Why Custom Tents

One Tent, Visibility From Every Side

A branded canopy is one of the most cost-effective ways to own an outdoor footprint. The peaks, valances and walls are all printable surfaces, so your message is visible from every direction at festivals, markets, sporting events and outdoor trade shows. The accordion frame opens with no tools, and every tent ships with a free tent cover and stake kit.
