School’s back in session, the temperatures are cooling, and the holidays always seem to arrive sooner than we anticipate. To help get the creative ideas flowing, we’ve been brainstorming ideas on how to use stretch fabric designs in all of your holiday decor.

Our products and suggestions are structured to be extremely versatile, making it possible to repurpose and reuse them throughout the year – whether you’re revamping an item for each event, updating your designs seasonally, or reusing the entire system annually.

In addition to creating ambiance and setting a festive mood, our holiday suggestions can be great solutions when working with challenging spaces and tricky setups. Offering plenty of alternatives to standard seasonal decorations, Stretch Shapes products can accommodate restrictions such as location, available space, and transportation limits.

All of our products are a fantastic medium for stage lighting and projection video mapping, allowing you to further customize your designs after set up. Additionally, using dye sublimation printing also makes it possible to achieve high-quality, photorealistic prints that are crisp and true to color.
