Printed Star Shade Tents
A printed star shade tent, often just called a star tent, is a single-mast event canopy with a sculptural, star-shaped roof, printed edge to edge in your artwork.
It hangs from one telescopic centre pole with curved legs and open sides, so it gives height and a large branded surface with no corner poles in the way.
Gala Graphics makes them in six sizes from 6m to 16m in 500D PVC-coated polyester, printed in full-colour dye sublimation. Buy a star shade tent, request a quote or download a brochure.
What a star shade tent is
The star-shaped canopy hangs from a single telescopic centre pole on curved legs, which opens up a spacious display area with clear sides for people to walk into. The elevated peak lifts your logo into view from across a field or forecourt, and the wide canopy takes full-colour print across its whole surface. It installs with minimal components and packs down small for transport.
Star shade tent sizes
Star shade tents come in six sizes, from 6m to 16m in 2m increments. A 6m star shade suits compact activations and smaller stands, the 8m and 10m step up the footprint for mid-sized pitches, a 12m star shade covers hospitality and display areas, and the 14m and 16m star shade give a commanding presence at festivals and large events. All six print in full colour across the canopy.
