30ft Timberline Modular Displays

What Is the 30ft Timberline Modular Display?

The 30ft Timberline modular display is the largest configuration in the Timberline modular display family: three 10ft Timberline frame sections joined by two precision joiner panels to create a single continuous exhibit backwall for standard 10×30 inline trade show booths. The three-section system delivers the same architectural elements available in the 10ft and 20ft formats — shaped canopy profiles, Metal Fusion headers, integrated LED lighting, acrylic furniture, and molded case storage — scaled to the full width of the largest standard inline booth footprint.

At the 30ft scale, the Timberline crosses a significant threshold in the modular display market: it becomes a genuine alternative to custom exhibit systems that have traditionally been the only option for brands seeking a premium flagship-show presence at the 10×30 booth scale. Custom exhibits for 10×30 inline booths require professional installation crews, custom crating, pallet freight logistics, and exhibit house relationships — all with significantly higher costs and longer lead times than the Timberline’s modular system. The 30ft Timberline delivers the architectural presence of a flagship exhibit backwall in a system that ships in three standard molded cases, assembles with a two-to-three-person team without professional installation, and can be managed within the same operational framework as the brand’s 10ft and 20ft Timberline deployments at smaller shows.

For brands unfamiliar with the full range of display formats and how they compare at different booth sizes and investment levels, our resources on types of trade show displays and what is a trade show display provide the contextual foundation for evaluating the 30ft Timberline against every alternative available at large-booth scale.

The Three-Section Architecture: How It Works

The 30ft Timberline modular display extends the two-joiner-panel connection system of the 20ft Timberline display by adding a third 10ft section and a second joiner panel. The three sections are identified as the left section, the center section, and the right section. Two joiner panels bridge the junctions between the left and center sections and between the center and right sections, maintaining a continuous co-planar display face across the full 30ft span.

Left and Right Joiner Panel Junctions

Each joiner panel junction in the 30ft configuration follows the same alignment and graphic-accounting principles as the single joiner in the 20ft format. The graphic template for the 30ft display accounts for two joiner panel gaps — one at the left-center junction and one at the center-right junction — with bleed and content-free zones at the inner edges of all three sections. Horizontal design elements that cross the full 30ft span must be split across all three section panels at their respective inner edges, with the splits accounting for both joiner gaps so the elements appear continuous when the complete three-section display is assembled.

Center Section Primacy in the Three-Section Layout

In a three-section display, the center section holds a unique communicative position: it is equidistant from both sides of the full 30ft span and is the zone that any attendee approaching the booth from the aisle sees at the center of their visual field before the peripheral sections register. The center section’s Metal Fusion header, canopy profile, and fabric center panels carry the exhibit’s primary brand statement in most three-section graphic strategies. The left and right sections flank the center with supporting content, product-specific messaging, or coordinated imagery that extends the visual narrative outward from the center.

Independent Section Deployment

Because each of the three sections ships in its own case and assembles independently as a complete 10ft Timberline display, the 30ft configuration offers a flexible multi-scale deployment model. At the flagship annual show where the 10×30 booth is purchased, all three sections deploy together. At the mid-year regional show where a 10×10 booth is purchased, a single section deploys independently. At the semi-annual industry conference where a 10×20 booth is purchased, two sections deploy as the 20ft Timberline configuration. One hardware investment covers three different booth footprints across the full annual exhibit calendar.

Three Canopies: Wave Top and Arch Top Options

The 30ft Timberline modular display carries three shaped canopy profiles — one per 10ft section — at the summit of the display. As with the 20ft format, both wave top and arch top canopy profiles are available, and both can be specified as matching profiles across all three sections or (less commonly) as mixed profiles for specific design objectives.

Wave Top at 30ft

Three wave top canopies across 30ft create a three-section undulating summit profile that extends the flowing, organic wave form across the full span of a 10×30 booth. From the aisle approach, the three-wave summit reads as a broad, visually dynamic overhead form that combines the individual recognition of the wave shape at each section with the cumulative visual impact of the shape repeated across 30 feet. For brands in sectors where creative momentum and forward energy are primary exhibit communication objectives, the three-wave 30ft summit is the most expansive expression of those brand values available in a portable modular backwall format.

Arch Top at 30ft

Three arch top canopies across 30ft create a triple-arch summit: three defined geometric arch peaks separated by the two joiner panel junctions, creating a visual rhythm across the 30ft display width that has strong associations with classical arcade and colonnade architectural forms. The triple arch at this scale communicates institutional permanence, organizational authority, and architectural investment with a consistency and scale that a single arch at 10ft cannot match. For brands in enterprise B2B, financial services, healthcare, and professional services sectors who exhibit at flagship shows where the exhibit’s visual authority is a direct commercial asset, the three-arch 30ft summit is the most architecturally definitive statement available in a self-installable portable modular backwall. Detailed guidance on the brand-identity and audience considerations that determine which canopy profile is appropriate for a given brand is covered in the 10ft Timberline Arch Top guide; those criteria apply equally at the 30ft scale.

Three Metal Fusion Headers: The Visual Communication System

The three Metal Fusion headers in the 30ft Timberline modular display create a visual communication system at the primary focal zone of the 30ft display face that is qualitatively different from anything available in the 10ft or 20ft formats. Three distinct Metal Fusion zones across 30 feet of display width provide more than three times the Metal Fusion surface area of a 10ft display — and with it, more flexibility in how that premium printed surface is used to communicate brand content at approach distance.

The Three-Header Communication Architecture

At the 30ft scale with three distinct Metal Fusion header zones, the most effective graphic communication strategies are those that use the three zones to create a structured brand narrative rather than trying to spread a single message across all three at reduced legibility. Three practical three-header architectures are worth considering:

• Brand — Product — Brand: The outer two headers carry brand identity content (logo, brand mark, color field), and the center header carries the primary product or campaign message. The brand identity flanks and frames the product content, creating a visual hierarchy that draws the eye from the outer brand context to the center product message.
• Audience Zone — Product Zone — Engagement Zone: The left header addresses the primary audience segment (headline message for the audience’s primary concern), the center header presents the product or solution, and the right header presents the engagement call-to-action (demo invitation, consultation offer, digital content prompt). This architecture aligns the three zones with the three stages of the attendee’s engagement journey from aisle to conversation.
• Panoramic Single Statement: All three headers carry portions of a single panoramic brand statement — a headline split across three sections, a brand film frame split across the full 30ft span, or a color-field composition that uses the full 30ft Metal Fusion surface as a single large canvas. This approach has the strongest visual unity at 30ft but requires graphic design specifically executed at 30ft scale to function correctly.

The right three-header architecture depends on the brand’s primary exhibit objective, the products being featured, and the audience profile of the specific show. Contact our team for template-specific guidance before beginning artwork for the three-section header zones.

Six Integrated LED Lights

The 30ft Timberline modular display includes six LED lights — two per section — providing front illumination of the primary graphic panels across the full three-section 30ft span. At 30ft, the case for integrated LED illumination is even more compelling than at 10ft or 20ft: a 30ft display is large enough that ambient venue lighting variability across its width is virtually guaranteed, with different overhead fixture positions, different distances from skylights or windows, and different proximity to competing bright light sources at different zones across the 30ft span. Six integrated LEDs normalize this variability across all three sections, ensuring that the graphic face at the far left section is illuminated at the same quality as the center section and the far right section.

Each LED pair serves its own 10ft section independently, drawing from the section’s own power connection. The three sections’ LED systems operate in parallel — each section connects to its own 110V outlet independently, so no single outlet needs to serve the full 30ft display’s lighting load. The three-outlet requirement is standard for 10×30 booth spaces and should be confirmed with the show’s electrical service order before the event. Maximizing the visual impact of LED lighting across a large-format exhibit like the 30ft Timberline — including supplementary lighting strategies for the canopy zone above the primary panel height — is covered in our trade show marketing resources, which address booth presentation strategy at the full suite of exhibit components.

Monitor Mount Configuration

Select 30ft Timberline modular display configurations include an integrated VESA-compatible monitor mount supporting screens from 30 to 50 inches at a maximum weight of 50 lbs. At the 30ft scale, the strategic context for the monitor mount is different from the 10ft and 20ft formats, and the decision about which section should carry the mount requires specific planning.

Monitor Positioning Strategy at 30ft

In a 30ft exhibit environment with three functional sections — each with its own desk, shelving, and graphic zone — the monitor is most effectively positioned in the center section. A center-section monitor creates a digital content focal point at the midpoint of the full 30ft display, equidistant from both ends of the booth and therefore most visible to attendees approaching from either direction. The center section’s position as the primary visual focal point of the three-section display (the zone that attendees see at center visual field on approach) reinforces the monitor’s effectiveness in that position: the display that first draws the attendee’s attention is the same display that presents the digital content as the attendee approaches.

Functional Zoning with a Center Monitor

A 30ft display with a center-section monitor naturally creates a three-zone booth layout: the left section serves as a brand identity and entry zone with its desk as the left-side greeting point; the center section serves as the digital engagement zone with the monitor presenting product demonstrations or brand films and the center desk supporting the conversations initiated by that digital content; and the right section serves as a product display and literature zone with its shelving and desk providing the physical product engagement environment for attendees who move past the digital content into deeper exhibit engagement. This three-zone layout is the most efficient use of the 30ft Timberline’s full accessory package and the most effective traffic flow model for a large-booth exhibit program where multiple staff members manage multiple attendee conversations simultaneously.

Three Desks and Nine Shelves: The Functional Environment

The 30ft Timberline modular display package includes three acrylic reception desks and nine acrylic shelves — one desk and three shelves per section — creating the most comprehensively equipped functional exhibit environment available in the Timberline family.

Three-Desk Exhibit Operations

Three desks across a 30ft backwall create three simultaneous, independent attendee interaction points. At a busy flagship show during peak floor hours, a three-desk 30ft Timberline booth can serve three separate attendee conversations simultaneously with three staff members each engaged at their respective section desk. This parallel processing capability is one of the most significant practical advantages of the 30ft format over the 10ft or 20ft: instead of a queue forming at a single desk or two desks, three entry points distribute attendee traffic across the full width of the exhibit, reducing wait times, increasing the number of qualified conversations per show day, and presenting each attendee with an interaction that feels attentive and unhurried.

Nine-Shelf Product Display Capacity

Nine acrylic shelves at 9.5 inches wide by 18.75 inches deep provide the product display capacity of a small retail fixture spread across three integrated display frame positions. For brands that need to display multiple product models, a product family, or a combination of products and supporting literature within the exhibit frame structure, nine shelves distributed across three sections allow organized, branded product staging that is fully integrated into the exhibit aesthetic rather than presented on external tables or generic trade show furniture that disrupts the visual consistency of the display face.

Three-Section Graphic Strategy

The 30ft Timberline modular display requires artwork for a total of twelve distinct graphic positions across three sections: three canopy faces (Metal Fusion), three Metal Fusion header panels, six fabric center panels (two per section), and six fabric end panels (two per section at the outer edges of the left and right sections). The scale of this artwork requirement demands more pre-production planning than any other Timberline format.

Template-First Design Process

The three-section template set — which specifies the exact dimensions of every graphic position across all three sections including both joiner gap positions — must be obtained from our team and reviewed before a single design element is placed in the artwork. The template defines the bleed requirements for each panel, the content-free zones at each section’s inner edges where the joiner panels create the physical gap between sections, and the precise pixel or point dimensions at the specified resolution for every position in the complete graphic system. Design work that begins before the template is received risks fundamental positioning errors that require full artwork revision before production approval.

Scale Considerations for 30ft Graphic Design

At 30ft, the graphic design must function at three distinct viewing distances simultaneously: recognition distance (50–100 feet), approach distance (15–30 feet), and engagement distance (3–8 feet). Each canopy face communicates at recognition distance; each Metal Fusion header communicates at approach distance; each fabric center and end panel communicates at engagement distance. These three viewing distances impose different content and scale requirements on each graphic zone. Logos, brand marks, and bold color fields that function at recognition distance do not require the resolution or detail of product photography that functions at engagement distance. A graphic system that serves all three viewing distances effectively is one where each zone is designed specifically for the distance at which it will be viewed, rather than a single design concept scaled across all twelve graphic positions regardless of their communicative role.

Coordinated vs. Three-Zone Design at 30ft

The practical graphic design choice at 30ft is typically between a coordinated panoramic design that treats the full 30ft span as a single canvas and a three-zone functional design that assigns each section a distinct communicative purpose. The coordinated panoramic approach maximizes visual unity and brand immersion at the cost of zone-specific functional communication. The three-zone approach maximizes communicative flexibility and functional clarity at the cost of visual unity. Most brands at the 30ft scale benefit from a hybrid approach: a unified visual framework (consistent color palette, consistent typographic language, consistent photographic style) applied across all three sections with section-specific content that serves each zone’s communicative function.

Three Molded Cases and Freight Logistics

The 30ft Timberline modular display ships in three molded plastic wheeled cases — one per section — at approximately 120 lbs per case and approximately 360 lbs total across all three cases.

Case Specifications

• Case Dimensions (each): 27.5″ W × 48″ H × 12.5″ D
• Case Weight (each): ~120 lbs
• Total Shipping Weight: ~360 lbs across three cases
• Case Count: 3 (one per 10ft section)

Planning a Three-Case Freight Shipment

At 360 lbs across three cases, the 30ft Timberline’s freight logistics require more advance planning than the 10ft or 20ft formats. Key planning steps specific to the three-case configuration:

• LTL freight booking: Three cases at 120 lbs each typically require LTL (less-than-truckload) freight service rather than standard parcel carrier service. Book the inbound and outbound shipments simultaneously and as far in advance of the show as possible to secure preferred rates and pickup windows.
• Advance warehouse address and cut-off dates: For major convention centers, advance warehouse deliveries are accepted within a specific window before the show. Shipping to the advance warehouse rather than directly to the show site allows the exhibit team to receive and verify all three cases before move-in day, avoiding show-floor discovery of any transit damage. Confirm the advance warehouse address, delivery window, and labeling requirements from the show’s exhibitor services kit.
• Convention center material handling: Most convention centers assess material handling (drayage) charges for moving freight from the loading dock to the booth. Three cases at 120 lbs each will generate material handling charges; include this cost in the exhibit budget alongside the LTL freight charges.
• Return freight scheduling: Book the outbound freight pickup for the return shipment at the same time as the inbound shipment. Carrier capacity at major trade shows is frequently constrained as multiple exhibitors simultaneously seek outbound freight service at move-out. Early booking secures the pickup window and rate.

Setup Time, Crew Requirements, and Assembly Strategy

The complete 30ft Timberline modular display requires 2–3 hours per 10ft section for a two-person team, for a total estimated setup time of 6–9 hours for the fully assembled three-section configuration. This time estimate assumes an experienced two-person team that has completed at least one or two prior 30ft Timberline setups.

Recommended Crew Size

While the 30ft Timberline’s toolless modular design technically allows a two-person team to complete the full setup given enough time, a three-person crew significantly improves efficiency at the 30ft scale. With three people, each section can be assigned a dedicated primary assembler while the third person manages component transport from the cases, assists with the canopy attachment steps that require a holding assist, and handles the joiner panel alignment at both junctions simultaneously rather than sequentially. A three-person setup of the 30ft Timberline can realistically complete in 5–7 hours for an experienced team, compared to 7–9 hours for a two-person team at the same experience level.

Setup Sequence for the Three-Section Configuration

1. Unpack and inventory all three cases simultaneously, identifying left, center, and right section components
2. Assemble all three 10ft frames in parallel — one team member per section when a three-person crew is available
3. Stand all three frames in their correct left-center-right positions on the booth floor
4. Install the left-center joiner panel to connect the left and center frames at their shared inner junction
5. Install the center-right joiner panel to connect the center and right frames at their shared inner junction
6. Attach all three canopy sections to their respective frame tops, working from the outer sections inward
7. Install all three Metal Fusion header panels in their designated positions
8. Install all fabric center and end panels across all three sections
9. Mount and connect all six LED lights across the three sections, routing power cords to the three dedicated floor outlets
10. Assemble and position all three acrylic reception desks and mount all nine acrylic shelves
11. Connect the monitor mount and hang the display screen if the configuration includes the monitor mount
12. Verify LED illumination across all three sections and confirm alignment of all graphic panels at both joiner junctions

The Portable Flagship Advantage: Modular vs. Custom at 30ft

The decision that brands face when purchasing a 30ft exhibit backwall has historically been binary: invest in a custom exhibit system that delivers premium visual quality but requires professional installation, pallet freight, and exhibit house management — or accept a lower-quality portable display that can be self-managed but cannot deliver flagship-show visual presence. The 30ft Timberline modular display disrupts this binary with a third option: a self-installable portable modular system that delivers the architectural presence, material quality, and functional completeness of a premium exhibit at the 10×30 scale.

The Cost Argument

A custom exhibit for a 10×30 inline booth typically involves exhibit design fees, custom fabrication costs, professional installation labor at every event, custom crating charges, pallet freight at every event, exhibit storage fees between shows, and exhibit house management fees. These per-event costs compound across an annual exhibit calendar where the 30ft booth appears at one or two flagship shows per year. The 30ft Timberline’s per-event costs are the freight charges for three cases and the booth staff time for setup — no professional installation labor, no custom crating, and no exhibit house relationship required. The difference in per-event operating costs across a three-to-five year exhibit program horizon can be substantial enough to recover the Timberline’s initial investment multiple times over.

The Flexibility Argument

A custom exhibit is designed for a fixed configuration and a fixed footprint. When the booth size changes — or when the brand needs to exhibit at three different sizes within the same year — the custom exhibit either cannot adapt or requires significant additional fabrication investment. The 30ft Timberline’s three independent sections deploy in any combination: one section for a 10×10 show, two sections for a 10×20 show, three sections for the flagship 10×30 show. The hardware investment serves the full range of the annual exhibit calendar from a single system.

Who Is the 30ft Timberline Right For?

Brands With Flagship Annual Show Programs

The 30ft Timberline is built for brands that have one or two flagship industry shows per year where the 10×30 booth space represents the brand’s most significant annual trade show investment. For these brands, the exhibit that fills the 10×30 back wall is the most visible physical expression of the brand’s market position available at any event during the year. The 30ft Timberline delivers a display at the architectural scale and material quality that a flagship show demands, in an operational format that the brand’s existing exhibit team can manage without professional installation assistance.

Brands Maintaining Mixed-Size Annual Exhibit Calendars

For brands that attend flagship shows at 10×30 scale and regional shows at 10×10 or 10×20 scale throughout the year, the 30ft Timberline’s three-independent-section architecture is the most financially efficient exhibit investment across the full calendar. Three sections serve a 30ft backwall at the flagship show, two sections serve a 20ft backwall at the major regional show, and one section serves a 10ft backwall at the local event — all from the same hardware investment, with section-specific graphics for each deployment context. The comprehensive trade show marketing framework for managing multi-size annual exhibit programs is covered in our resources on exhibit program planning, pre-show preparation, and post-show evaluation.

Established B2B Brands Ready to Commit to Flagship-Show Presence

For established B2B brands in enterprise technology, professional services, industrial, healthcare, or financial services sectors that have been exhibiting at smaller booth sizes and are ready to make the commitment to a 10×30 flagship presence, the 30ft Timberline is the system that makes that commitment operationally manageable without the exhibit house infrastructure that a custom exhibit at this scale would require. The pairing of the 30ft Timberline with trade show hanging banners above the booth creates a complete vertical brand environment that announces the brand’s presence from across the full convention center floor, delivering the highest possible combination of backwall authority and overhead visibility available in a self-managed exhibit format.

How the 30ft Timberline Compares to Alternatives

30ft Timberline vs. Three EZ Connect 10ft Panels

Three EZ Connect 10ft displays side-by-side create a 30ft flat wall at a substantially lower investment than the 30ft Timberline. The flat-wall EZ Connect approach delivers a professional graphical backdrop without shaped canopy profiles, Metal Fusion headers, integrated furniture as standard, or LED lighting as standard. For brands entering the 10×30 format for the first time with a limited display budget, paired EZ Connect single frames provide an accessible starting point. For brands whose flagship-show exhibit objectives require the architectural presence and comprehensive functional package of the Timberline, the 30ft Timberline is the appropriate investment.

30ft Timberline vs. Modco and Cabo 30ft Configurations

The Modco modular display and Cabo modular display systems at 30×10ft and larger scales create three-dimensional exhibit environments with interior depth, enclosed meeting rooms, product shelving walls, and comprehensive 360-degree accessory ecosystems. These systems are appropriate when the exhibit objective requires interior spaces, meeting rooms, or full three-dimensional island-style branding capability. The 30ft Timberline delivers premium inline backwall quality at the 10×30 scale within a portable, self-installable format; the Modco and Cabo serve the objective when the 10×30 space needs to function as a three-dimensional exhibit environment rather than a backwall-anchored inline booth.

30ft Timberline vs. Origami Truss

The Origami Truss display system serves large-scale island and inline configurations at the 20×10ft through 30×20ft footprint range with structural truss architecture, overhead spanning elements, slat walls, and 360-degree graphic capability. The Origami Truss is appropriate for brands that need structural visual authority and three-dimensional exhibit capability at large scale. The 30ft Timberline is appropriate for brands that need premium inline backwall quality with a portable, self-installable operational model across the full 30ft width of a standard 10×30 inline booth space.

Where This Display Fits in the Modular Silo

The 30ft Timberline modular display is the largest configuration in the Timberline modular display family and the largest self-installable portable inline backwall system in the modular displays silo. It occupies the premium inline backwall position at the 10×30 booth scale — the format that delivers flagship-show visual presence without the custom exhibit infrastructure that large-scale exhibits have historically required.

Buying Guide: 5 Decisions Before You Order

1. Wave top or arch top across all three sections?

Confirm the canopy profile before ordering. Both wave and arch create a distinctive three-profile summit at 30ft that is visually powerful from a distance. The brand-identity and sector criteria that determine which profile is appropriate are identical at 30ft to those at 10ft and 20ft — the 10ft Arch Top guide covers those criteria in full. Specify matching profiles across all three sections unless a specific design objective benefits from mixed profiles.

2. Which section carries the monitor mount, and what is the three-zone layout plan?

Decide the monitor’s section position and the functional zone plan for left, center, and right sections before finalizing the order. The monitor position determines which section’s graphic template must account for the monitor zone, and the three-zone functional plan determines the graphic content strategy for the three Metal Fusion headers and twelve fabric panels.

3. What is the three-section graphic strategy: coordinated, zoned, or hybrid?

Define the graphic strategy — coordinated panoramic, three-zone functional, or hybrid — before artwork production begins. Obtain the three-section template set from our team first; it specifies the exact dimensions of all twelve graphic positions and both joiner gap zones, and no artwork should be started without it.

4. What is the freight plan for three cases at ~360 lbs total?

Book LTL freight inbound and outbound simultaneously, as early as possible before the show. Confirm the advance warehouse address, delivery window, and labeling requirements from the show’s exhibitor services kit. Budget for material handling charges at the venue. Arrange the outbound pickup booking at the same time as the inbound to secure carrier capacity at move-out.

5. What is the setup crew plan for a 6–9 hour assembly?

Identify and confirm the three-person crew (recommended) or two-person crew (minimum) who will handle setup at the flagship show. Ensure they have reviewed the assembly instructions in advance of move-in day. Schedule move-in time that accounts for the full estimated setup window plus buffer for first-time or early-show-season assembly uncertainty. For the complete staffing, pre-show, and on-floor management framework for large-booth flagship programs, the trade show marketing resources cover every element of the operational plan around the exhibit system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the assembled width of the 30ft Timberline modular display?

The 30ft Timberline modular display assembles to approximately 358.5 inches (29.9ft) wide, spanning three 10ft frame sections and two joiner panels. Verify ceiling clearance and any venue-imposed height restrictions for the 96-inch overall height before ordering.

Can the three sections be used independently at different shows?

Yes. Each section ships in its own case, assembles independently as a complete 10ft Timberline display, and can deploy separately at any show where a 10ft format is appropriate. Any two sections can be connected as the 20ft Timberline configuration. All three sections deploy together for the full 30ft flagship configuration. The three-section investment covers 10ft, 20ft, and 30ft booth footprints from a single hardware inventory.

How many power outlets does the 30ft Timberline require?

The 30ft configuration requires three standard 110V outlets — one per 10ft section for its independent LED power connection. Each outlet serves one section’s two LED lights. Three outlets are standard in 10×30 booth electrical service packages at most trade show venues; confirm with the show’s electrical service provider before the event.

What is the recommended setup crew size?

A three-person crew is strongly recommended for the 30ft Timberline. Three people allow parallel section assembly and more efficient joiner panel alignment at both junctions, reducing total setup time to 5–7 hours compared to 7–9 hours for a two-person crew.

How many graphic positions does the 30ft Timberline require?

Twelve: three canopy faces (Metal Fusion, one per section), three Metal Fusion header panels (one per section), six fabric center panels (two per section), and six fabric end panels (two per section, one each at the outer left and outer right edges of the left and right sections). Template files specifying exact dimensions for all twelve positions and both joiner gap zones are provided by our team before artwork begins.

What is the production lead time?

All 30ft Timberline configurations are produced in 3–5 business days from proof approval on all graphic elements across all three sections. Add LTL freight transit time for the final delivery timeline calculation. For flagship shows with significant schedule consequences if the display arrives late, contact our team to confirm current production capacity at least two to three weeks before your proof-approval target date.
