Package 13: Basic Tent Starter Kit

Basic Tent Starter Kit is package 13 of our 37 custom canopy tent packages, priced at $620.00 for the whole kit and built specifically for first-time buyer setups. The bundle is the configuration our design team recommends most for this crowd, and it currently carries a hot demand rating with buyers in this category. Where a bare custom pop up canopy tent only covers the overhead, this configuration ships 1 coordinated printed component that share one artwork file, one color profile and one delivery date — which is the real reason a package beats piecing a booth together across four separate orders.

What comes in the Basic Tent Starter Kit bundle

The anchor of the kit is the Canopy+Frame, a commercial-grade custom canopy tent with your logo printed edge to edge in full color. Graphics are printed with dye sublimation at 600D polyester weight, which keeps colors saturated after months of UV exposure. Everything travels in the Standard Bag.

Who this first-time buyer package is for

We recommend the Basic Tent Starter Kit for regional tours where the whole booth must fit in a hatchback. If you sell at first-time buyer events more than three or four times a year, the math favors this bundle quickly: at $620.00 it replaces a rented shelter within roughly two shows, and unlike a rental it arrives with your logo on it. Newer vendors usually start here and add A-frame sidewalk signs or a second wall in season two; established brands buying a multi-market tour usually order this kit two or three times so every city looks identical. Browse the full 37-package lineup if you need a bigger or smaller footprint.

How to set up this canopy tent package

Setup is tool-free. Spread the frame to about 80%, drape the canopy, secure the four hook-and-loop straps, then raise the legs one click at a time until the peak is tight. For teardown, lower the legs, release the centre peak, walk the frame inward and roll the kit into its bag — leave the canopy on the frame to save five minutes each show. Once the frame is up, hang the walls before you weight the legs so the fabric hangs straight, then position the printed table cover and flag on the traffic side rather than the aisle side. In gusty conditions, drop the legs one notch, weight every foot and stake the rear corners. A lower tent catches far less wind.

Sizing, artwork and print specs

This is a 10x10 footprint, the size almost every first-time buyer organizer sells as a standard booth space. Peak height adjusts through three settings, and the printable valance runs roughly 118in x 8in on each of the four sides. A full wall gives you about 118in x 78in of graphic; a half wall gives about 118in x 40in. Send vector art or 150dpi raster at full size with CMYK color, and our team returns a free digital proof — nothing prints until you approve it. If your artwork is not ready yet, start from the custom canopy tent design options and our designers will lay it out for you.

Care, warranty and delivery

Care is simple: hose off mud, wipe with a soft brush and mild detergent, air dry fully. Skip bleach, pressure washers and hot water. The 40mm aluminum hardware carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, the canopy material carries a 2-year warranty, the top is CPAI-84 fire-retardant certified for venues that ask for paperwork, and the fabric is water resistant for normal rain. Orders ship free anywhere in the continental United States. Plan on 7-10 business days of production after proof approval, or ask for the 3-5 day rush lane if your show date is tight.
