Pop-up is available in many sizes – from 32” tall tabletops to 92” tall backwalls. The following set-up
and repacking instructions depict our 10’ 92” Mirage, the most popular display in the world. All Mirage displays
set up using the same sequence, although the size and number of components vary between models.
Please read the entire section prior to set-up.
Although Skyline products are designed to withstand the rigors of a heavy trade show schedule, with many
set-ups and take-downs, care should be taken when handling your display. Valuable graphic panels can be
damaged if not properly handled. Replace graphic panels in protective plastic bags before repacking. Be care-
ful not to drop panels into the case as this could damage their edges.
If you have any questions about setting up your display or have lost components, call your local Skyline
distributor. For the number of your distributor, or the distributor in a city in which you are exhibiting, call
Skyline at 1-800-328-2725.
Thank you for choosing Skyline – have a great show!
