- Two Wide Faces Built for Aisle-Facing Messaging
- Single-Sided or Double-Sided Print With Backer Options
Stretch Fabric Sock on an Aluminum Tube Frame
Bungee cord connections snap the aluminum tube frame together without any tools. Two people build the full rectangle structure on the ground in roughly 10 to 15 minutes. Once assembled, the stretch fabric sock (a graphic sleeve that pulls over the frame and tensions itself flat) covers the entire perimeter. No visible hardware breaks the image. Colors read sharp from across the hall because nothing interrupts the print surface. A2Z Printing Hub prints each sock using dye sublimation, so ink bonds directly into the polyester fibers rather than sitting on top where it can crack.
Two Wide Faces Built for Aisle-Facing Messaging
Rectangle sizes run 3x4 ft to 5x8 ft, giving you two wide faces and two narrow faces on the same display. Booths along a single main aisle get maximum messaging on the two sides facing the heaviest foot traffic. The narrow faces hold a logo or icon toward cross-aisle traffic. That four-sided layout means your brand reads from every approach angle without a second display. Bold, full-color graphics on the wide faces stay visible from ceiling height even in a crowded convention hall.
Single-Sided or Double-Sided Print With Backer Options
You choose single-sided or double-sided printing, then pick a white backer, black backer, or printed base section. A black backer makes colors on the front face appear more saturated. A printed base section adds a second graphic zone at the lower edge. The display reads cleanly whether attendees see the front face or catch a glimpse of the back. Hanging cables ship with every order, so your display arrives ready to mount.
Customer reviews
This rectangular banner feels reliable and durable. We've used it multiple times, and it still looks great. The fabric is strong, and the printing has held up well.
For simple and effective communication, you can't go wrong with a rectangular hanging banner. It's straightforward, easy to read, and provides plenty of space for our message. Quick to set up.
We used this rectangular banner for wayfinding at a large event, and it worked perfectly. The clear, large text was easy for attendees to see and follow. Durable material.
The rectangular shape is classic and versatile, working well for a variety of events and branding needs. It's easy to read and provides ample space for our logo and text.
The rectangular skytube banner offers the maximum display area for our detailed graphics and messaging. It's a great way to showcase a lot of information clearly. Easy to hang and very visible.
Ideal for
Not the best fit for
Ceilings under 10 ft don't give a hanging display enough clearance. Sight lines get blocked and the space feels cramped. Use Backdrops or Retractable Banner Stands at wall level instead.
Venues that do not allow ceiling rigging have no mounting point for the hanging cables. Order a Backdrop or Pop Up Display as a freestanding alternative so your booth stays fully branded.
Small 10x10 ft booths where an overhead rectangle sits out of proportion to the footprint below. A Retractable Banner Stand fits that scale better.
How to choose
Use these buying points to choose the right Sky Tube Rectangle Hanging Banners configuration.
-
Confirm Your Venue Allows Ceiling Rigging First
Here's the thing: this is the only decision that can make the entire display unusable. Contact your venue coordinator and ask specifically about ceiling rigging points, pipe grid availability, and any rigging fees. Get the answer in writing before you place your order. If the venue does not allow ceiling mounts, order a Backdrop or Pop Up Display instead so you are not left with a display you cannot hang.
-
Match Rectangle Size to Your Booth Footprint
A 3x4 ft rectangle suits a 10x10 ft booth where overhead scale needs to stay proportionate to the space below. A 4x6 ft or 5x8 ft rectangle suits a 10x20 ft or island booth where the larger footprint earns a bigger overhead presence. And when you're unsure, size up rather than down. Undersized sky tubes disappear in large halls, roughly the same way a wall-level display does.
-
Single-Sided or Double-Sided Print
Choose single-sided if your booth faces one primary aisle and the back face stays out of attendees' sight lines. Choose double-sided if your booth sits in an open island position where traffic approaches from both directions and both wide faces need to carry full messaging. Double-sided adds a second graphic layer, so the front and back each read as a complete design rather than a plain backer.
-
White Backer, Black Backer, or Printed Base Section
A white backer keeps the display light and airy under bright convention lighting. A black backer makes colors on the front face appear more saturated and bold. A printed base section adds a second graphic zone at the lower edge of the rectangle. It's useful when you want a different message or color block at the bottom of the display. That said, most single-aisle booths do well with a white or black backer and save the printed base option for island setups with heavy foot traffic on all sides.
Pair it with
Build the Vertical Branding Stack Below the Rectangle
Your sky tube anchors the top of your booth from ceiling height. A Backdrop covers the wall behind your booth at eye level. Retractable Banner Stands flank the entrance at aisle level, and a Table Cover brands the demo table at ground level. Together, they give attendees branded surfaces from the floor up to the ceiling. Backdrops | Retractable Banner Stands | Table Covers
Complete the Booth Structure Below
A Trade Show Booth gives you a full structure underneath the rectangle. The overhead display and the booth below read as one coordinated setup rather than two separate pieces. Trade Show Booths
Other Sky Tube Shapes Worth Considering
Not locked into rectangle? Sky Tube Circle Hanging Banners give 360-degree visibility when your booth faces multiple aisles equally. Sky Tube Square Cube Hanging Banners add a printable bottom face for attendees standing directly below. Sky Tube Circle Hanging Banners | Sky Tube Square Cube Hanging Banners
Freestanding Alternatives if Your Venue Doesn't Allow Ceiling Rigging
Pop Up Displays stand freely on the show floor without any ceiling mount. Custom Banners handle overhead needs at open-air events where a ceiling-hung display isn't an option. Pop Up Displays | Custom Banners
FAQs
Does My Venue Need Special Rigging Equipment to Hang a Sky Tube Rectangle?
Most large convention centers already have a pipe grid or beam hooks above the show floor. You attach the included hanging cables to those rigging points. The venue's rigging crew typically handles the hoist. Confirm rigging availability and any associated fees with your venue coordinator before ordering, because rigging policies vary widely between facilities.
How Do Two People Assemble and Hang the Display on Show Day?
Ground assembly runs roughly 10 to 15 minutes for 2 people. Snap the aluminum tube sections together using the bungee cord connections (elastic cords inside the tubes that hold the frame without tools). Then slide the stretch fabric sock over the assembled frame. Attach the hanging cables included with the kit. The venue rigging crew then hoists the assembled display to ceiling height.
What Happens If My Ceiling Clearance Is Under 10 ft?
A sky tube below 10 ft of clearance blocks sight lines and feels cramped in the booth space. It also reduces the overhead visibility that makes the display worth using in the first place. For venues with lower ceilings, a Backdrop or tall Retractable Banner Stand keeps your branding at eye level without requiring any ceiling clearance at all.
Can I Reuse the Aluminum Frame and Replace Only the Fabric Graphic?
Yes. The aluminum tube frame and bungee cord connections are built for repeated assembly and breakdown across multiple events. Order a replacement stretch fabric sock separately when your message changes or your brand refreshes. One Florida exhibitor swapped a fabric sock in under 5 minutes at a second event with no wear on the frame after 2 shows.
What Sizes Do Sky Tube Rectangle Hanging Banners Come In?
Sky Tube Rectangle Hanging Banners run from 3x4 ft up to 5x8 ft. The two wide faces carry your full brand message, and the two narrow faces typically show a logo or icon. Larger sizes suit 10x20 ft and island booths. The 3x4 ft option suits a 10x10 ft booth where overhead scale needs to stay proportionate.
Get your artwork right
Sky Tube Rectangle Hanging Banners hang 10 ft or more above the floor, so your file needs to be built for distance from the start.
- Accepted formats
- PDF, PNG, JPG, AI. Vector files (AI, PDF) are preferred for logos because they stay sharp at any size without pixelating.
- Resolution
- Minimum 150 DPI at full display size. For any face under 4 ft wide, go to 300 DPI. Soft edges show up fast at ceiling height.
- Bleed
- 0.25 in on all edges. **Safe zone:** Keep text and logos at least 0.5 in from each edge so nothing gets clipped at the seam.
- Color mode
- CMYK, not RGB. CMYK matches how we print, so the colors you see on screen come out accurately on the fabric.
The rectangle template covers two wide faces and two narrow faces as separate print zones. Use letter height of at least 6 to 8 in on the wide faces. Thin fonts and fine detail disappear at 15 ft above the floor.

Care instructions
Fabric Sock
- Remove the stretch fabric sock from the frame after each event. Machine wash cold with mild detergent and tumble dry low. Steam any minor wrinkles before the next hang. The fabric is inherently wrinkle-resistant, so it typically needs only light steaming after storage.
Aluminum Frame and Hanging Cables
- Disconnect the bungee cord connections carefully without yanking the cords, then wipe each tube section with a dry cloth. Check bungee cords for elasticity after heavy use and replace any cord that has lost tension.
- Coil the hanging cables loosely and check the clips for bending or rust before each event. Store cables with the frame inside the carry bag so small parts don't get separated between shows. Do not stack heavy items on top of the bag during storage.
