2 POP Signage Trends Stretch with Barbed Elastic Cord

It seems the widely-reported demise of brick and mortar shops has been prematurely overhyped—the search for “stores near me” on mobile devices is stronger than ever as people still insist on “trying before buying” and having a pleasing, personal interaction during the shopping experience. So retailers will still need fresh POP signage for displays and décor; and with it, bulk barbed elastic cord to hang and stretch the signage. The latest trends for POP signage include:

Stretchy Fabrics—The hot new POP signage trend is silicone edged, printed fabric. Strong stretch cord with metal barbs can be used to affix the signage to the ceiling while the edges slip over a framework to keep the signage flat from side to side. Digital or dye sublimation printing makes the signage look nothing like fabric, particularly if the display is backlit. This fabric is also easy to ship and store as it packs down into small spaces and is lighter than many other signage options.

LED Lighting—Combine stretched, printed fabric with LED backlighting and you’ve got a real winner. Signage with LED lighting can be lightweight, small, and energy efficient all at once, which makes it a stunning, yet cost-effective solution to attention-getting POP signage. LED lit signage is easy to hang with barbed elastic cord from just about any surface.
