US Media Company Orders 38 Fast Fold Screens with Front & Rear Projection Fabric and Flight Cases

Project Overview

A leading American media and event production company needed a complete large-format projection screen inventory for its multi-venue corporate events, product launches and broadcast productions across the United States. Fast Fold screens were specified because of their tool-free assembly, wrinkle-resistant tension fabric and consistent optical performance from both sides of the screen. Following a technical evaluation, the buyer placed a single consolidated order of 38 Fast Fold projection screen sets, each supplied complete with Front & Rear Projection Fabric, dress kits and a dedicated flight case.

Customer Background

The client is a media company based in the United States that delivers live events, brand experiences and video production services for corporate and entertainment customers. Its crews work on tight build schedules in hotels, convention centres and temporary studios, which means every screen must travel well, assemble in minutes and look flawless on camera as well as to a live audience.

Project Requirements

The order was split into three screen sizes so the client could cover everything from intimate breakout rooms to full-scale stage backdrops:

Why Front & Rear Projection Fabric

Every screen in the order was specified with dual-purpose projection fabric, allowing the client to project from the front for audience-facing presentations and from the rear for on-camera work where the projector must stay out of shot. Key advantages included:

• Neutral grey optical coating - balanced gain and high contrast for LED and laser projectors
• Seamless viewing surface - no visible joins or hot spots on large 16' x 9' formats
• Wrinkle-resistant tension fabric - folds flat for transport and recovers without ironing
• Black-backed edge treatment - clean borders and no light spill in rear projection mode

Dress Kits and Flight Cases

Each set was supplied with a matching dress kit - skirt, valance and side drapes - so the frames can be presented as finished, branded backdrops rather than exposed aluminium truss. The dress kit also hides cabling and rear-projection hardware, which is critical for broadcast and photography. Every screen ships in a custom moulded flight case with wheels, recessed latches and foam-lined compartments for the frame, fabric and dress kit, protecting the equipment through repeated air and truck freight.

Production and Delivery

The 38 sets were manufactured as one production batch to keep fabric dye lots, frame tolerances and dress kit colours consistent across the whole inventory. All frames were tested for squareness and lock engagement before packing, and each flight case was loaded and labelled by screen size so the client's warehouse team can pull the right kit for each event. The order was consolidated into a single shipment with size-segregated packing lists and carton markings for fast check-in at the venue dock.

Results

The client now operates a scalable, standardised screen pool: 24 compact 10.8' x 6' units for breakout rooms and press rooms, 8 wide 8' x 14' units for ultra-wide stage formats, and 6 large 16' x 9' units for keynote backdrops. Because every set uses the same fast fold frame system, the same dress kits and the same fabric specification, crews can be trained once and deployed across any venue. Setup time per screen is reduced to a few minutes, freight damage is minimised by the flight cases, and the dual front/rear projection capability removes the need to rent different screens for on-camera versus live-audience work.

Conclusion

This 38-set order demonstrates how a single, well-specified Fast Fold platform - frame, Front & Rear Projection Fabric, dress kit and flight case - can standardise an entire event production inventory. For media companies, rental houses and AV integrators, the same configuration is available in custom sizes and quantities to match any venue portfolio.
