Custom Pop-up Tents With Logo. What You Need To Know
If you are reading this blog, you are considering a custom printed pop-up tent for your business, church, school or sporting event. Either to attend a show, market, fair, festival, promotion, marketing event, special event, sponsorship or competition.
Whatever the case may be, if this is your 1st time in the market for a custom pop-up tent, the task may seem overwhelming with so many questions and concerns. The intent of this logo tent post is not only to give you information on how to design your tent logo and really get noticed, but to answer frequently asked questions and inform you of things that you need to know to purchase the correct custom printed canopy tent for your needs.
What Size Custom Pop-up Tent?
The most standard pop-up tent sizes are 5'x5', 10'x10', 10'x15', 10'x20' and 20'x20'. The best size for you depends on the space rented for your events.
Most trade show and booth spaces at markets and fairs begin at 10'x10'. For this reason the 10'x10' canopy tent is by far the #1 choice of our customers. In fact, over 90% of our logo canopy tent sales are the 10'x10' tent size. The 5'x5' are for vendors with limited, smaller exhibit spaces or situations where there is a large exhibit area but you want to highlight certain products only in the smaller tent.
Event Location
The location of the event is another crucial consideration. Are the events going to be indoors or outdoors? Even if the event that you are considering purchasing a tent for is indoors, if you purchase a good quality tent, it will last you for many years in which time there may be promotional opportunities to use it outdoors. For this reason, give the concerns below consideration.
If outdoors, there are numerous concerns to address
- All tents are waterproof. However, not all custom printed tents are UV protected to prevent the logo and graphics from fading due to UV exposure. Nothing looks worse than a faded custom printed pop-up tent. At Premier Table Linens, our custom printed tents are printed using special UV ink which protects the vibrant colors and logo on the tent canopy from fading.
- Being outdoors, the tent must be able to hold up to inclement weather and winds. For this reason, you want a heavy duty frame and a heavy weight Denier Polyester fabric, at least 500 Denier.
- Be sure that the pop-up tent is graded to withstand winds up to 25 miles per hour.
- Is the ground going to be concrete or grass? This will determine if you need ground spikes or weights that are offered.
- Tent color, heat and UV exposure.
- Light canopy background colors (white, yellow and pastel colors) reflect 80" of sunlight and absorb less heat resulting in cooler temperature under the tent for you and attendees. Light tent background colors with a vibrant custom printed logo creates a bright and inviting branded tent that enhances the visual appeal of your brand, it stands out and will be noticed from a distance.
- Dark colors such as black and navy blue absorb 80 percent of sunlight creating hotter temperatures under the canopy due to all the sunlight being drawn in.
- Mid tone colors such as royal blue, red, orange, emerald green, pink and gray offer a compelling compromise between light and dark color custom canopies. These shades strike a balance between reflecting and absorbing sunlight, reducing heat while still providing a more aesthetic color than white.
- Accessories
- Side walls
- Back wall
- Tent Transport Bag
- Feather Flags
Other than weight bags or pegs and rope which is necessary to set up outdoors, the rest of the tent accessories are optional. We will go through add on’s available and their purpose.
They provide additional branding exposure and they also adds depth, enclosure to the tent while still allowing circulation. The side walls are expensive. I feel that a much better add on is the tent back wall which is less expensive yet much larger, goes in a prime location in your tent for additional branding or graphic images. Available in single or double sided.
Tent backwalls are beautiful and provide 10’ height additional wall for branding opportunities for visitors at the tent display.
Most tents come with a carry travel bag. A 10'x10' popup tent will weigh 50 to 60 pounds. For this reason, the tent travel bags which sell for under $100 is an add on worth considering.
Feather flags are popular, seen on many tents at festivals, busy markets and special events. Many vendors fly them towards the top of the tent.Be sure to add the tent mount add on if adding feather flags to your tent display.
Logo Tablecloths and Blank Tablecloths For The Tent Display
Do you already have at least one branded tablecloth with your logo for the tent?
If you do not, many tent packages provide the custom printed tablecloth in polyester or spandex.
Remember to also have blank tablecloths for additional tables at the tent display.
Branding and Logo Optimization
Pop up tents with logo provide great branding visibility, even from the distance.Take advantage of this to showcase and make your brand stand out and shine on your tent investment. Some logo tent printers only print on the front of the custom tent that are not the highest price of the tent offerings. Others only print on the peak. At premier table Linens, we want you to maximize your branding and visibility. For this reason, all our tents logos are dye sublimation printing with special UV ink for vibrant images, graphics and brand colors that will not fade. In addition, our branded tents can be printed on all 4 peaks and all 4 valances. Using different colors, logos and or text creates a finished tent that is optimized visually and stands out.
To ensure optimal visibility of the logo on the tent, logo size is very important by maintaining proper scaling and proportion. At Premier Table Linens we prioritize your brand’s success. We have been producing top quality custom printed tents for 10 years and will be glad to answer any tent or tent graphic questions you may have.

Where To Purchase Your custom popup tent with logo
Hopefully you will purchase your custom popup tent from Premier Table Linens for good reasons. We only sell high quality, heavy duty tents at very competitive prices with a 100% Best Price Match Guarantee. We have been manufacturing and printing for since 2010 and are A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau. Our dedicated team of graphic designers are here to assist you every step of the way. If you decide to purchase elsewhere, here are our two best suggestions.
1) Purchase a custom printed tent made in the USA. Many of the custom tents on the internet are made and printed in China. Many times the hardware is not the same quality. Also, most tents printed in China do not use UV ink. Sadly, many customers have told us how quickly their tent color faded.
2) Do not purchase from logo tablecloth or custom printed tent companies that are nothing but a reseller selling from their home. You will be paying more purchasing from a reseller than purchasing directly. You may ask how you would know? Simply place their address into Google Maps!
