My first time using Backdrop source and so far they have been a pleasure to work with. They have been extremely helpful throughout the process. Definitely give them a chance.

Wow! My banner added new life to my exhibition. The quality of the print was great and the cool bag that the pieces came in made it even more professional.

I cannot thank you all enough! The backdrop arrived today and the front and back look beautiful! The colors are crisp and rich and look far better than I had expected! I will go nowhere else for future work! Backdropsource is the best! A+A+A+

Why a Walkthrough Arch Works Harder Than a Banner

A banner or flat backdrop sits beside the action. A walkthrough arch display puts your brand directly in the path of every guest. It frames people as they arrive and gives them an obvious spot to stop for a photo. At expos, races, festivals, grand openings and sponsor activations, a plain entrance becomes something attendees remember and share.

A fabric arch display stand also solves practical problems that rigid signage cannot:

  • Branding from more than one angle. Guests see your graphic on the approach, as they pass underneath and, with the right print option, on the way out.
  • Portable format. The frame and fabric print pack down for transport, so you do not need a crate or a crew.
  • Reusable frame. When your campaign or sponsor changes, you can order a new printed graphic and keep the same frame.
  • Easier internal approval. A free 2D mockup gives your manager or client a clear visual to sign off before anything is printed.

Compare the Arch Styles in This Collection

Every arch here is priced complete, with the frame and the custom print included. Most buyers narrow the choice to two questions: open or welcome, and curved or square.

Open arch styles

The Open Arch Stand is the most affordable way into a branded entrance, complete from CAD 256. The Fabric Full Open Arch Stand and the Fabric Full Open Square Arch Display are both complete from CAD 269. They let you choose between a curved top and a square top. Open styles suit busy walkways where people need to move through quickly and you want the brand to frame the crowd.

Welcome arch styles

The Fabric Welcome Arch Display Stand and the Fabric Square Welcome Arch Stand are each complete from CAD 354. Choose a welcome style when the entrance itself carries a message, such as an event name, a sponsor greeting or a start or finish line.

Curved or square?

  • Curved tops give a softer, celebratory look that suits festivals, community events and grand openings.
  • Square tops give clean, architectural lines that suit corporate expos. Long headlines also read straight across the header.

The photos on each product page show how the fabric covers the frame.

Getting the Size Right for Your Entrance

Choosing the wrong size is the most common worry with an event entrance arch, and it is easy to avoid with a few measurements. Before you order:

  1. Measure the space. Note the width of the doorway or walkway. Record the ceiling height and any low beams, lights or sprinklers.
  2. Compare the inside dimensions. Check each arch's internal clear width and height on its product page. The overall footprint alone is not enough.
  3. Plan for crowd flow. Groups, strollers, wheelchairs and equipment carts all need room. If you expect peak rushes at doors-open, choose the wider option.
  4. Leave room for the bases. Make sure there is floor space on each side so the arch does not block neighbouring booths or exits.
  5. Check venue rules. Some venues and outdoor sites have requirements for freestanding structures, weighting or anchoring. Ask the organizer early.

Not sure which size fits? Share your venue measurements with the team when you request a quote, and they can help you match an arch to the space.

Print Quality You Approve Before It Is Made

A custom printed arch backdrop has to look as good in person as it did in the mockup. Every arch is printed using dye-sublimation, which bonds the ink into the fabric. The result is rich colour and a smooth finish that photographs well. PVC-free fabric options, such as 600D eco polyester, are available across Backdropsource fabric displays. Check each arch's product page for the fabrics offered on that model.

  • Free 2D mockup. You can request a preview of your design on the arch shape before printing.
  • Nothing prints without your approval. Production starts only after you sign off the artwork.
  • Print errors are reprinted free. If a mistake is on our side, it is put right at no cost.

Design tips for arches

  • Place your logo and key message on the header, where every guest looks up.
  • Keep important text away from bends and corners so it stays readable.
  • Check whether you want single- or two-sided printing. The options are listed on each product page, and the inside of a tunnel fabric display is seen up close.

Setup, Stability and Reuse

Most Backdropsource frame-based displays assemble tool-free and ship with a soft carry bag. Confirm the details on the product page for the arch you choose. Lay out the parts first, build the frame, then dress it with the fabric graphic. A practice build before the event takes the pressure off on the day.

Stability matters in a busy walkway and outdoors. Plan to weight the bases to suit your venue's rules, and keep an eye on wind forecasts for open-air events.

When your design changes, you do not need to buy the whole structure again. You can order a replacement print only for your existing frame. This makes a trade show arch display a sensible long-term investment for repeat exhibitors and sponsors.

Lead Times and Your Next Steps

The production lead time is listed on each product page. It is often 24 business hours after artwork approval. Add shipping time to your Canadian address, and build in a buffer before show day.

Standard, non-custom items can be returned within 7 days of delivery if they are unused and in their original packaging. Custom-printed graphics cannot be returned after proof approval, so check the size and artwork carefully before you approve.

  1. Shortlist two or three arch styles that fit your entrance and budget.
  2. Compare the clear width and height on each product page.
  3. Request your free 2D mockup or a quote.
  4. Approve your proof early to protect your event date.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an open arch and a welcome arch display? +
An open arch keeps the focus on framing people as they walk through, which suits busy entrances. A welcome arch is designed to carry a headline message, such as an event name or a sponsor greeting. In this collection, the open styles start from CAD 256 complete. The welcome styles start from CAD 354 complete, frame and print included.
Which fabric arch display stand is the most affordable? +
The Open Arch Stand is the most affordable arch in this collection, complete from CAD 256 including the frame and custom print. If you want a fuller arch shape, the Fabric Full Open Arch Stand and the Fabric Full Open Square Arch Display are both complete from CAD 269.
Should I choose a square arch or a curved arch for my logo? +
A square arch is usually better for wide logos and long headlines, because the header gives you a straight, level surface. A curved arch suits shorter logos and a more festive look. With a curved arch, keep key text away from the bend. A free 2D mockup shows how your artwork sits on each shape.
Is a fabric welcome arch suitable for a race start or finish line? +
Yes. A welcome arch is a popular choice for race starts, finish lines and festival gates, because the header carries your event name where everyone sees it. Outdoors, check the organizer's rules on anchoring and weighting first. Measure the course width so runners and support vehicles can pass through comfortably.
Can I change the arch graphic for a different event without buying a new frame? +
Yes. You can order a replacement print only for an arch frame you already own, so the frame can be reused for each new event or sponsor. When you order, make sure you choose the replacement print option, not the complete arch. Then send artwork sized for your existing model.
Do walkthrough arch displays need printing on the inside? +
Not always, but it is worth considering. Guests see the inside of a walkthrough arch display up close as they pass under it, and again when they leave. Check the printing options on each product page. Many organizers add a pattern, sponsor logo or social handle to the inside so the arch looks finished from every angle.
How do I know if an arch will fit my venue entrance? +
Compare the internal clear width and height listed on the arch's product page with your measured doorway, walkway and ceiling height. Allow extra room for crowds, strollers and wheelchairs, plus floor space for the bases on each side. If you are unsure, send your venue measurements with your quote request so the team can suggest a suitable arch.
