Got an outdoor event coming up? Whether it’s a community festival, corporate activity, or private party, Big Tex Banners and Flags has a custom canopy for every event. A printed event tent is a must-have for a memorable and functional space, and it plays a crucial role in event branding. These custom canopy tents do more than just provide shade – they’re a branding, organizational and styling tool.

Choosing the Right Custom Tent
A custom canopy tent is more than just a practical shelter – it’s your brand, your personality and your message on display for the world to see. But with so many options out there, how do you choose the right pop up tent? Well Big Tex Banners can help. Here’s how a custom printed tent can elevate your next event and what to consider when choosing a custom canopy tent.
Whether you need a custom canopy tent for a community festival or a trade exhibition booth, Big Tex Banners can help.

When choosing a custom tent, you need to assess the specific needs of your event. Consider the location, weather conditions and number of attendees. Will your event be in a sunny park, a busy city square or a windy beachfront? Each location may require different features – UV resistant canopy fabric for sunny locations or heavy duty reinforced frames for windy conditions. Think about the size of the pop up tent you need. A smaller pop up canopy is perfect for intimate gatherings, larger canopy tents with multiple sections can accommodate bigger crowds and provide separate areas for different activities. The custom tent cost will vary depending on canopy size, customization options and materials used.
Another thing to consider is the design and customization. A custom pop up tent with your brand’s logo and colors will make your tent stand out and create a cohesive look with your event’s theme. Think about the printing process and material quality to ensure your pop up tent looks and lasts over time. High quality printing options like dye sublimation provide vibrant colors and long lasting results that won’t fade easily.
Also consider the available pop up tent accessories that can add functionality to your custom tent. Side walls, roof straps and weighted feet or anchors can provide extra stability and protection from the elements. These canopy side walls can also provide additional branding opportunities to further reinforce your brand.
And finally consider the setup and teardown. A tent that’s easy to put up and take down will save you time and effort so you can focus on other parts of your event. Look for designs with simple setup instructions and can be managed by a small team or even one person.
By thinking through these points you can choose a custom printed tent that meets your practical needs and amplifies your brand’s identity, so you have a successful event.

Fabric
Printed on 600 Denier polyester, a popular heavy duty fabric for custom printed pop up tents that is water resistant and flame retardant, your design will pop with color. UPF 50+ fabric blocks 98% of harmful UV rays.
When choosing the fabric for your custom pop up tent you need to think about the durability and longevity of the material. The 600 Denier polyester not only provides great protection from the elements but also ensures your tent looks great over time. This heavy duty fabric is designed to withstand heavy rain and winds so it’s perfect for outdoor events.
Also the flame retardant properties of the heavy duty fabric provides an extra layer of safety so your event complies with local fire safety regulations. This is especially important for events with cooking stations or other fire hazards. The UPF 50+ rating also means your guests are protected from harmful UV rays so they can enjoy the event comfortably.
The printing process on this heavy duty fabric is key to getting vibrant colors and sharp images. Advanced dye sublimation techniques ensure your brand’s logo and design is printed with high definition so you make an impression on your attendees. Heavy duty printed tents with high quality materials and printing will withstand the outdoor conditions and capture your audience with vibrant graphics and custom designs, to create a memorable experience. This process embeds the ink into the fabric so the colors won’t fade even after hours of sunlight.
By choosing high quality materials and investing in good fabric options you’re not only making your custom canopy tent look good but also functional and safe. This attention to detail reflects well and shows you care about your customers.
Custom Canopy Tent Styles
At Big Tex Banners, we have peaked roof or flat roof options. Peaked roofs are traditional but flat roofs give you a unique look. We also have custom head clearance and leg heights for special configurations. A pop up canopy tent with these features can be used for indoor and outdoor events.
Whether you choose a peaked roof or a flat roof, each style offers a portable, UV resistant shelter that can be easily set up and taken down.

Choosing the style for your custom printed tent is about both look and functionality. Peaked roofs are visually pleasing but also practical as they allow water to run off during rainy weather, making these customized pop up tents perfect for outdoor events. Flat roof canopy tents give a modern and sleek look that’s great for contemporary brand messages or minimalist event themes.
Also custom head clearance and leg heights can be tailored to your event needs, such as extra space for tall displays or easy access for guests. This flexibility in canopy design means your custom pop up tent will meet your event needs whether it’s a busy trade fair or intimate corporate function.
Think about these canopy style options with the heavy duty materials and high grade aluminum or steel frames, and your custom canopy tent will not only look great but also withstand the weather. This ensures your event runs smoothly and your brand makes a lasting impact on your attendees.

Custom Printing
We have custom printing options and that’s where the magic happens. Custom pop up canopy options allow for designs that are functional and visually appealing. From concept to finished product here’s what you need to know about custom printing for event tents:
Screen Printing and What is it?
Screen printing is a process that uses a mesh screen to apply ink to a surface. A screen is created for each color in the design. Ink is pushed through the screen onto the custom canopy tent fabric using a squeegee, layer by layer.
When used on custom canopy tents this process gives vibrant and durable prints that can withstand outdoor conditions. The limitations of screen printing is that intricate details or gradients may not translate well, so this method is best for simple designs with few colors. The setup costs are high so not cost effective for small orders but used more with bulk orders due to these setup costs.
Dye Sublimation Printing and How It Works
Dye sublimation is a process where heat and pressure transfers dye into a canopy tent material. Unlike traditional printing methods that apply ink to the surface, dye sublimation embeds the design into the canopy tent fabric itself. This gives a smooth, seamless finish that resists fading, peeling or cracking. Dye sublimation is best when your design has detailed artwork, gradients or photographs.
For canopy tents dye sublimation printing is used on polyester based fabrics as they absorb the dye well and produce vivid, detailed results and high quality full color displays. This process is best on white or light colored fabrics as the dye cannot produce opaque prints on dark materials.
UV Printing and What Does That Mean?
UV (ultraviolet) printing is a digital printing method that uses ultraviolet light to cure (dry) the ink as it’s applied. Unlike traditional printing methods that uses heat or time to dry ink, UV printing dries the ink instantly through UV light. UV printing ink can print any color without limitation. This process gives vibrant and durable prints that adhere to a wide range of materials including the fabrics and rigid surfaces used in event tents. The UV cured ink is highly resistant to fading, scratching and peeling even under harsh outdoor conditions due to its durability and weather resistance to UV rays, rain and wind. Although UV printing works on many materials it’s not ideal for fabrics that require frequent folding or high flexibility as the cured ink layer can crack under repeated stress.
Comparison:
| Feature | UV Printing | Screen Printing | Dye Sublimation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design Complexity | Excellent for intricate designs. | Best for bold, simple designs. | Ideal for gradients and full-color images. |
| Durability | Highly durable and scratch-resistant. | Long-lasting, but surface-applied. | Embedded into fabric, resists fading. |
| Material Options | Works on rigid and flexible materials. | Best on flat, flexible fabrics. | Requires polyester or coated fabrics. |
| Cost | Higher, due to advanced technology. | Economical for bulk orders. | Higher cost for premium results. |
| Turnaround Time | Fast, thanks to instant curing. | Longer setup, especially for multi-color designs. | Moderate, due to heat transfer. |
