Can I use my Display Stands more than once?
Our display stands are all designed so that graphics can be changed easily, either by simply sliding the artwork out of the holders, attaching using hook and loop Velcro, attaching new magnetic strips or by simply popping open the frames and inserting a new poster. It all depends on the type of stand as to which graphic change facility is used but all are designed for ease of use and so that they can be transported from one place to the next. We understand that it is important to get your stands set up quickly to impress your potential customers and because of this we offer the simplest and most portable range of stands on the market today.
Do Target Displays supply spare parts and accessories for my Display stands?
We supply a huge variety of different spares, accessories and add ons for all of our Display Stands. We can also keep your art work on file so that if you need extra prints at a later date you don't have to resend all the information. Just contact one of Target Displays consultants and we'll help you get what you need.
Are the Display stands guaranteed?
ALL of the Display Stands supplied by Target Displays are supplied under warranty and come with guarantees from one year up to ten years depending on the individual display stand! We only use the premier display stand manufacturers so all goods within our portfolio are tried and tested to withstand daily wear and tear.
What are the lead times for supply of Display stands and prints?
Our average lead times are between three and five days but we also operate a next day service (subject to terms and availability) so that if you have an urgent need and get your details and art work to us before mid-day we can ship your Display Stand or prints the following day! Just speak to one of our staff who will be happy to talk you through the steps.

What formats do I need for my designs in order for them to be printed?
Target Displays accept art work in the following formats:
- QuarkXpress 6.0
- Adobe Indesign CS2, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop
- Freehand MX
If you don't have the above then please prepare the designs as an EPS or Press Ready, High Resolution pdf. Please show all fonts or an outline text before saving the work.
Please note that Positional Proofs are an inkjet or laser run off that we use only for positional accuracy - they cannot be used for colour matching.
If you send a match up print or other material as a hard copy (brochure, catalogue or letter head) we will check this before we print. If there are differences with colour matching we will speak with you to discuss the differences. It is sometimes difficult to get exact Pantone matches using CMYK printers. All the printers are calibrated to provide closest possible matches but if we have no proof we can only print what we have on disk.
