Trade Show Displays

Start with the floor plan, not the catalogue. The size printed on your exhibitor contract rules out most options before you look at a single photo, and it is easy to fall for a kit that simply won't fit. Check the height limit in the exhibitor manual too. Some halls are strict about anything over 8 ft along the back wall, and that tends to come up during setup, when it is too late to swap.

A first show is usually a 10x10 inline space. For that, the 10x10 Starter Booth Kit covers the basics: a backwall, a banner stand and a table cover. It won't turn heads on its own, but it gives you a clean, branded space to work from. Teams with more frontage often want two counters and a screen or two, which is where something like the 10x20 Booth Kit with 16ft Backwall, Curved TV Wall & 2 Counters makes sense.

The backwall does most of the visual work. The smaller pieces often decide whether people actually stop.

On an island booth, a sign overhead helps visitors find you from the far end of the aisle. Our hanging banners and overhead signs are built for that, though it is worth checking whether your venue allows rigging and what it charges. If you sell physical products, shelving and pegboards put them at eye level, where people can pick them up. Bare concrete looks unfinished under bright lights, so interlocking or printed carpet is usually worth it for multi-day shows. And if the organizer supplies a pre-built shell scheme booth, you only need graphics sized to their walls, not a full kit.

Frames get bent in transit more often than people expect. Our trade show shipping and carry cases range from rolling hard cases to nylon bags, and a case is cheap insurance if your kit travels by courier between cities.

Choose your kit and send your artwork. You can request a free 2D mockup to see the design on the display before you commit, and nothing prints until you approve the proof.

The production lead time is shown on each product page. Plan it against your show date with some room to spare, especially if you are exhibiting in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary or Montreal during the busy spring and fall seasons, when you will want time for at least one round of proof changes. Most frame-based displays set up without tools and ship with a soft carry bag.

If we make a print error, we reprint it free. Standard, non-custom items can be returned within 7 days of delivery if they are unused and in their original packaging.
