Magnetic pop-up is one of the most convenient backdrop graphic system to carry and reuse over and over again.
Magnetic pop up is a collapsible frame which comes in basic three shapes straight, concave curve and convex curved.
Also length and height of a MAgnetic Pop up may vary as per client
requirement.Usual size is known as section height and section width.
section width up to 4 converts in meters or close to it therefore many
people feel section width to be equal to a meter but usually it is
between 70cm to 83cm depending on manufacturer. Total height usually is
around 230cm or near it.
Besides all this it also comes as different
systems though basic collapsible structure and use of magnets to attach
graphics to the stand remains a perquisite.
Variance is seen in
locking systems as some have pull up and stand system using
springs,metal hook locks or plastic male female locking systems.
Front megbars that hold the system also vary as most system use MS rods and others may use aluminium with magnets.
The popup is supplied in three ways viz a shoulder bag, Air trolley or
in a Deluxe PVC moulded trolley which may double up as a Carry case cum
podium with graphic attached to it.
Designing a magnetic popup is
usually very challenging for first timer designers.Many times they just
give design suitable for solvent flex printing but Magnetic popups are
printed using inkjet technology.Printing is done on high end photo
realistic printers on self adhesive vinyls which are later mounted on
.3-.4 thick rigid PVC and than scored or matched.
Reason is that its size is close to hoarding size, but viewing distance at most times is a close distance of around 6' or so.
Most people forget that popup's primary aim is to catch eyeball of people visiting trade show & exhibitions.
Not just that but once they enter the exhibitors booth, it should give
information about the exhibitor's establishment and products or services
offered along with pictures.
Usually the top it used half
establishment name on top with tag lines or punch line and its LOGO as
that is most prominent area besides central part.In between body is the
most important element. Never try to cram it up with too many pictures
or too much text. When choosing to fill space always be more partial to
pictures and not text.
Bottom generally being less visible has addresses, URL , email Id, phone nos. Etc.
At times just one very large picture can be very effective in attracting attention and making visitor enter the exhibit area.
But most times use pictures judiciously.Too much text is a waste as
nobody has time to stand and keep reading just high light important
information and don't use this as a brochure, most information shall be
used inside a leaflet or brochure which a visitor can than read
leisurely later on at office or home.
Another pitfall area is the
end caps many designers ignore tha fact that it curves in U shape and
major part is usually invisible to the visitor on both ends. So simply
avoid spilling text on end caps. Most designers use this area to give
out website or just keep it plain colour to add beauty and make popups
look much more solid and attractive.
