"Illuminate your brand with our sleek, portable backlit display system."
The backlit snapfold standee is one of the most practical illuminated display solutions for businesses that move between events regularly. The frame uses a snap fit aluminum system that folds down in seconds and packs into a compact carrying bag, making it genuinely portable. When set up, the built in LED lights create an even glow across the entire fabric surface, giving your graphics a vibrant, luminous quality that standard rollup banners simply cannot match.
We print the display graphics using dye sublimation technology on specialized backlit fabric with silicone edge graphics (SEG) that slide into the frame channel for a seamless, frameless appearance. Available in 100 x 225 cm standard size with single sided and double sided printing options, these standees are ideal for trade shows at DWTC, retail activations across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, corporate events, product launches and indoor promotional displays throughout the UAE.
Event organizers, trade show exhibitors, retail stores, shopping malls, hotels, corporate offices, PR agencies, product launch teams and brand activation companies across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the UAE.

Most exhibition displays are either portable or impressive. The backlit snapfold standee manages to be both. It collapses into a compact bag that one person can carry, yet when assembled it produces a luminous, edgeless graphic display that stands out from every other booth on the exhibition floor. The snap fit aluminum frame clicks together in seconds, the printed SEG fabric slides into the frame channel, and the integrated LED panels light up your visuals with even, consistent illumination across the entire surface.
We have been supplying these standees to businesses across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the wider UAE for trade shows, retail activations, corporate events and product launches. The demand for illuminated displays has grown significantly over the past few years because businesses have realized that standard rollup banners and foam board signage do not attract the same level of attention. A glowing display panel draws people in from across a crowded exhibition hall, and the snapfold version makes it practical for companies that attend multiple events throughout the year without needing a dedicated logistics team to transport and assemble their display materials.
What sets the snapfold apart from other backlit display systems is the engineering behind the frame. Each section uses a slide and snap fit connection that locks firmly into place but releases just as easily when you need to pack up. There are no tools involved, no loose screws, and no small parts that might go missing between events. The rotating footplate at the base adjusts to different floor surfaces, keeping the display stable on carpet, tile, or polished concrete. It is the kind of product where the more you use it, the more you appreciate the design thinking that went into it.
The term snapfold describes the way the aluminum frame sections connect. Each profile segment has an integrated locking point that slides into the next piece and clicks into position. When you push the sections together, you feel a definitive snap that tells you the connection is secure. To disassemble, you press a small release tab and the sections slide apart cleanly. This is different from screw together or bolt together display frames that require tools, extra time, and usually a second person to hold things steady.
The entire assembly process takes roughly 10 to 15 seconds for someone who has done it before. Even first time users can manage the full setup in under two minutes, including attaching the fabric graphic and plugging in the power adapter. The frame arrives in a padded carrying bag that measures approximately 117 by 42 centimetres, which is compact enough to fit in most vehicle boots or travel alongside exhibition materials on a flight.
Once the frame is standing, the printed fabric panel attaches using the SEG (silicone edge graphics) system. A thin silicone bead is sewn around the perimeter of the fabric, and this bead pushes into a groove in the aluminum frame. The result is a wrinkle free, taut display surface with no visible clips, fasteners, or frame edges showing through. When the LED strips behind the fabric switch on, you get a clean, uniform glow without hot spots or dark corners. The interior light diffusion is remarkably even, which is exactly what makes backlit displays look professional rather than cheap.
The snapfold standee is available in several configurations depending on your display requirements and the environment where it will be placed.
The most common configuration for wall placement, booth backdrops, and any situation where visitors approach from one direction. The printed fabric covers the front face while the rear houses the LED panel array. This works well for exhibition booths that sit against a wall, retail store windows, and reception area branding where the standee is positioned with its back against a surface.
Designed for open floor placement where people walk past from both sides. Each face has its own printed fabric panel with independent graphics, so you can show different messages on each side or duplicate the same design for maximum visibility. Double sided units are particularly popular at trade shows in DWTC and ADNEC where booth space sits in the middle of aisles with foot traffic flowing in both directions.
Several snapfold standees can be positioned side by side to create a wider display wall. Because the SEG system creates edgeless graphics on each unit, you can design artwork that spans across multiple frames for a seamless panoramic effect. This approach is popular for product launch backdrops, press conference settings, and exhibition booths that need a wider branded presence without investing in a full modular booth system.

You cannot print backlit displays using the same methods as standard banners or posters. Regular printing looks flat and uneven when light passes through or behind the material. The colours wash out, dark areas become patchy, and the overall result looks unprofessional. That is why every fabric panel we produce uses dye sublimation technology on purpose engineered backlit textile.
Dye sublimation works by converting solid ink into a gas that permanently bonds with the polyester fibres of the fabric. This is not ink sitting on top of the surface like screen printing or digital inkjet. The colour becomes part of the material itself, which means it will not crack, peel, or fade under the heat generated by LED panels. When the lights switch on behind the fabric, you get vibrant, saturated colours with smooth gradients and sharp detail. Logos retain their exact colour values, photographs look realistic, and text remains crisp and legible even from a distance.
The fabric itself plays a critical role in the final quality. We use specialized backlit textile that is engineered to diffuse light efficiently rather than simply letting it pass through. This efficient light distribution prevents the hot spots and uneven brightness that cheaper materials produce. After printing, a silicone bead is sewn around the entire perimeter of the fabric, creating the SEG attachment system. The finished panel pushes into the frame channel smoothly and pulls taut across the display surface, eliminating any wrinkles or sagging. When you need fresh graphics, you order a new printed panel and swap it onto the same frame in seconds.
The whole point of the snapfold design is that it goes where you go. Here are the practical benefits that matter most to businesses in the UAE.
From bag to fully illuminated display in under two minutes. No tools, no installation crew, no complicated instructions. One person handles the complete setup, which saves time and money at every event. This is especially valuable during trade show setup hours when time is limited and the venue is crowded with exhibitors all trying to build their booths simultaneously.
The entire unit packs into a single carrying bag that fits in a car boot or can be checked as luggage on flights. At approximately 117 by 42 centimetres, it is small enough to store in an office cupboard between events. Companies that exhibit regularly across different emirates find this particularly valuable because they do not need to arrange separate freight for their display materials.
Buy the aluminum frame and LED system once, then simply order new printed fabric panels whenever your branding, messaging, or campaign changes. This multi use capability dramatically reduces the cost per event over time. Many of our clients keep two or three different fabric panels on hand so they can switch between messages depending on the event type without purchasing additional hardware.
The rotating footplate at the base adjusts to sit flat on carpet, tile, marble, concrete, and other common floor surfaces found in UAE exhibition venues and hotels. Unlike standees that wobble or tip on uneven floors, the snapfold base provides reliable stability even in high traffic areas where people walk close to the display throughout the day.
The combination of premium visual impact and genuine portability makes this display system popular across a wide range of sectors in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the broader UAE market.
Exhibitors at GITEX, Gulfood, Arab Health, Beautyworld and other major events at DWTC and ADNEC rely on these displays to stand out on crowded exhibition floors. The illuminated graphics draw attention even when surrounded by dozens of competing booths.
Shopping mall activations, seasonal promotions, new collection launches and point of sale displays across Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates and retail locations throughout the UAE. The glowing visuals attract shoppers more effectively than standard printed signage.
Companies in DIFC, Business Bay and Abu Dhabi Global Market use these standees for conferences, shareholder meetings, recruitment events and branded reception areas. The professional appearance aligns with corporate branding standards.
Hotels, resorts and tourism operators across the UAE use illuminated standees for lobby displays, ballroom event branding, guest welcome signage and promotional displays that change with different events throughout the week.
Developers and property agencies in Dubai and Abu Dhabi use these displays at project launches, open house events, property exhibitions and sales galleries. The backlit effect adds a premium quality to architectural renders and floor plan presentations.
Hospitals, clinics and pharmaceutical companies present at medical conferences and health awareness campaigns with professional illuminated displays. The quality branding supports medical credibility during product showcases and industry networking events.
Universities, training institutes and educational technology companies use these standees at student recruitment fairs, campus open days and professional development conferences. The portable design allows easy movement between multiple venue locations throughout the academic calendar.
Event planners, wedding organizers and entertainment companies create welcome displays, photo opportunity backdrops and directional signage for celebrations and gatherings. The dramatic lighting adds atmosphere to gala dinners, award ceremonies and private functions across the UAE.
Not every business needs to purchase a standee outright, and we offer both options depending on your situation. If you attend three or more events per year, buying makes strong financial sense because the frame and LED system are built for years of repeated use. You only need to order new fabric graphics when your messaging changes, and each replacement panel costs a fraction of the original unit price. Over time, the cost per event drops significantly compared to renting or purchasing disposable displays.
For companies attending a single exhibition, a product launch event, or a one time corporate function, our rental programme often makes more sense. Rental includes the complete setup with custom printed graphics, the aluminum frame, LED lighting, carrying bag and all accessories. You get the same premium visual impact without committing to a purchase, and you avoid storing equipment that might not be used again for months. Many startups and international companies exhibiting in the UAE for the first time choose the rental option to test the waters before investing in their own unit.
Either way, every order includes free design assistance. Send us your artwork or brand guidelines and our design team will prepare print ready files optimized for backlit display. We handle the colour calibration and layout adjustments that ensure your graphics look their absolute best when the LEDs are illuminated. There is no extra charge for design revisions, and we provide a digital proof for your approval before anything goes to print.
We deliver across all seven emirates with standard production turnaround of three to five business days. Rush orders are available for urgent exhibition deadlines and last minute event requirements. For larger orders or exhibition setups that need onsite installation support, our team can be present at the venue to handle assembly and ensure everything is positioned correctly. Whether you need a single standee for a reception area or twenty units for a multi booth exhibition, we manage the entire process from initial design through to final setup at your location.
