Case study: Evolon® microfilament fabric with a paper-like appearance for creative booth design
Event industry professionals experience the uniqueness of Evolon® fabric at EXHIBITORLIVE! in Las Vegas.
Derse, a leading US-based marketing company specializing in creative architectural and graphic solutions, planned one of the largest booths at EXHIBITORLIVE! that took place on March 2-4, 2015, in Las Vegas. EXHIBITORLIVE! is North America’s top exhibition for trade show and event marketing professionals. The challenge for Derse was to demonstrate its creativity and know-how to the 6,000 event industry experts expected to attend the show.
Derse developed a design concept named “Unwrap the truth”, based on authentic, raw materials. Initially, the team wanted to use kraft paper to enhance the eye-catching upper part of the booth and get their key message across. However, the original kraft packaging paper could not meet the mechanical, safety, and processability requirements of the project. Derse set out to find a material that would mimic the appearance and feel of this packaging paper and had the ability to be printed and sewn, that was also strong enough to be held under tension in metallic frames, shaped as if it were torn paper, and of course, was flame-retardant. Freudenberg Performance Materials’ microfilament material Evolon® complying with the NFPA 701 flame-retardant regulation was selected for its matte look, non-fraying edges, strength, and versatility.
Impressive results
The final setup featured an impressive structure 12m long, 6m wide, and 5.64m high, using 550 square meters of Evolon® material.
Effortless implementation
Derse commissioned Dimension Design to realize this impressive décor at the 2015 EXHIBITORLIVE!
Dimension Design used Evolon®’s EVO 130 PMB FR, the ideal choice for this particular purpose. Easy to print and install, the fabric gave the illusion of kraft paper, which connected it to Derse’s campaign theme.
Thanks to its versatility, the beige, printed Evolon® parts were given permanent wrinkles to enhance the paper-like appearance. The blue-printed, white “Unwrap the truth” section remained completely wrinkle-free for a neat, clean look.
