Panel Customization Guidelines

  1. We offer complete design services. We’ll start from scratch or create the production files for your logo or image panels. If you choose to design your layout – the panel schematics PDF’s are available here to download. Keep in mind the metal frames around the perimeter of the front & sides of our bars is 1″ thick. So just account for that in your design. No bleeds necessary – we cut flush to the edge and do not trim.
  2. We calibrate our printers to RGB. You can send files as .PSD / .PDF / .AI (200 dpi is fine).
  3. For rendering purposes only we can use .JPG / .PNG files but keep in mind small resolution files will not enlarge properly for large format print.
  4. We will need high resolution files (bitmap or vector) to create your printed panels. When designing for Interior (such as hotel, ballroom, conference hall, home etc…), you can send images taken by cell phone so we get the idea of pattern/shape/color. If you don’t have any files we have a stock photo library to choose from. Let us know what you have in mind!
  5. Front panel prints are done on a material that’s about the thickness of an X-Ray. They are very durable. They slide into the fronts of the bars from the top down into the slot in front of the existing panel. They are removable. You can easily remove the printed panel and use your bar with the plain white panels as well. The LED light shines through the panels so any lighter areas within the design will show the most LED illumination.
  6. We offer side panel customization for SmartBar 5L only. Although they are also removable, the prints are adhered directly to the panel. They slide out easily but if you need a set of blank panels as well we do offer additional side sets of 2 for left & right side of the SmartBar 5L.

Customer Reviews

We've been able to have a return of investment on the bars by selling advertising space on the front of the bars for individuals and companies. That has helped us recoup the money that we put into the bar and turned it into a revenue-generating source.

Gregory Colon Director of Banquets - Crowne Plaza NYC

Thanks again, the bars were a HUGE Success!

Karol Brandt Manager Sponsorships and Entertainment / Harrah's New Orleans Casino & Hotel

The bar came in and it looks great! The frame color, wood top and marble grain panels look terrific. My GM really likes the "logo panel" and the entire bar package (looks, size, etc.) looks like it belongs here at the club. You guys did a really great job.

Mark Rosati Service Director / Pyramid Club

Your bars performed beautifully. Not only was our staff appreciative for the easy of set-up and transport, our guests appreciated the elegant touch that they added to their function. I appreciate your help during the conference and wish you much success.

Martin Faurer Director of Banquets - The Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa

Huge Fan!, this bar is amazing. I have been in the Bar business for over 20 years and have had to work on portable bars numerous times. Nothing even comes close to the ease and use of SmartSpace Bar. The bar is very sturdy and offers so many features.

Huge thanks for the portable bars we recently purchased in Baltimore and Philadelphia. With the warm weather coming, we have dozen of large scale outdoor events planned. With these unique demands, it's important that we are flexible and quick to respond

Having utilized the remarkably attractive yet insanely practical bars that SmartBar has provided for a number of high-profile industry events I've managed, I didn't think it was possible to be more impressed. I was wrong!

I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with the Smart Bar we received. It has made such a difference in storage, move ability, set-up time and not to forget how SMART it looks with the Svedka Logo, you can spot it a mile away. We love it!
