Online Graphics Provider Offers Customizable Fabric Banners

Displays2go.com has unveiled a new line of fabric trade show displays that allow users to make customizable artwork and logos in many different fonts and colors.

The knockdown design breaks into pieces that can be carried in an included black case.

"Our company prides itself on offering customizable marketing solutions for businesses trying to get there name out,” adds Reno. “These trade show displays are capable of being set up anywhere and attracting audiences with the user’s specific logo or image.”
