These are great, I love the light box and the ability to change the screens with in seconds to make it more user friendly.
Scott CrossUSA
My first time using Backdrop source and so far they have been a pleasure to work with. They have been extremely helpful throughout the process. Definitely give them a chance.
James ShevlinUSA
Wow! My banner added new life to my exhibition. The quality of the print was great and the cool bag that the pieces came in made it even more professional.
Merze Tate ExplorersUSA
I cannot thank you all enough! The backdrop arrived today and the front and back look beautiful! The colors are crisp and rich and look far better than I had expected! I will go nowhere else for future work! Backdropsource is the best! A+A+A+

Match your backlit trade show booth to your floor space

Start with the footprint on your exhibitor contract, then choose a kit that fits it. Many kits in this collection are offered in four widths (10ft, 13ft, 16.4ft and 20ft) and three heights (6.6ft, 7.4ft and 8.2ft). You can keep the same layout and simply order the width that matches your space. Other kits are built for one footprint, which takes the guesswork out of sizing.

  • 10x10 inline booth: order a 10ft width, or choose a kit made for this space, such as the 10x10 Backlit SEGO Three-Wall Booth Kit with 2 Sidewalls or the 10ft Backlit SEG L-Shape Booth Kit with Lightbox Counter.
  • 10x15 space: the 15x10 Backlit SEGO Booth Kit with L-Arches & 4 Sidewalls is sized for it, or order a 13ft width in one of the configurable kits.
  • 10x20 inline booth: look at 20ft kits such as the 20ft Backlit SEG U-Shape Booth Kit with Lightbox Counter or the 20ft Straight Backlit SEG Lightbox Wall.
  • Island space: the 20ft Backlit SEG Island Booth with Y-Walls, Header & Counter is designed to be seen from every aisle.

Check height rules as well. Many shows limit the back wall height in inline booths, so confirm the limit in your exhibitor manual before choosing the 8.2ft option. If you are not sure a layout fits, ask for a free 2D proof. It shows the kit with your graphics, so you can check the fit before you commit.

Choosing a layout that suits how you exhibit

The right layout depends on how many aisles face your booth and what you need to do in it.

L-arches and corner layouts

Open layouts suit corner booths with two open sides and exhibitors who want visitors to walk straight in. The Backlit SEG Corner Booth Kit with L-Arch & Lightbox Counter and the Backlit SEG Booth Kit with Twin L-Arches & Lightbox Counter frame the space without closing it off.

Three-wall and U-shape kits

Enclosed layouts surround visitors with your graphics and hide the neighbouring booths. They work well in inline rows where you only have one aisle. The Backlit SEG U-Shape Booth Kit with 3 Lightbox Walls & Counter is a popular choice for this.

Divider walls

If you run demos or hold short meetings, the Backlit SEG Booth Kit with 2 Divider Walls & Sidewall Lightboxes splits your space into zones while keeping every surface lit.

Straight walls and panel systems

For one large, uninterrupted image, a straight lightbox wall is the simplest option. The Backlit SEG Panel Wall System with 24 Lightbox Panels uses 3.3ft-wide panels, so you can set up a long run at one show and a shorter wall at another.

What comes with a backlit booth kit

Each kit arrives as a complete display, so you are not left sourcing parts the week before the show. Every kit includes:

  • Frames for every wall, arch and sidewall named in the kit
  • LED lighting built into the lightbox walls
  • Dye-sublimation printed fabric graphics with a silicone edge (SEG) that presses into the frame channel
  • A lightbox counter, where the kit name includes one
  • Carry bags for transport and storage

Assembly is tool-free. Frames connect by hand and the fabric graphics push into place, so you do not need specialist installers. Plan for one power connection at your booth, because the lighting must be plugged in. Most shows require you to order booth electrical service through the organiser, so book it when you confirm your space.

Getting your brand colours right under backlighting

Backlighting makes colours look brighter, so many buyers worry that their brand palette will shift. A few steps keep the result on brand:

  1. Send your logo, brand colours and any existing artwork. A rough brief is enough.
  2. Review the free 2D proof, which shows your design on the exact kit you are considering. Revisions are unlimited.
  3. Share the proof with colleagues or head office for brand sign-off. This is useful for franchise and distributor reps who must follow brand standards.
  4. Approve the proof. Nothing prints until you do.

Graphics are dye-sublimated into the fabric, which gives a smooth, even finish once the lights are on. If a print error reaches you, the graphic is reprinted free.

Budget, timing and reusing your kit

A backlit booth costs more than a basic pop-up or banner stand. However, you are paying for a lit display that stands out in a crowded hall and a frame you can use for years. Production starts within 24 business hours of proof approval, so the quicker you approve, the sooner your kit is on its way. If your show is only a few weeks away, request your proof early and ask for a quote that confirms delivery timing to your city and the full cost in CAD.

Your kit can also grow with your brand:

  • Rebrands: order replacement graphics for the frame you already own.
  • New campaigns: keep a second set of graphics for a different product launch or audience.
  • Changing plans: unused frames and accessories can be returned within 7 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which backlit booth kit fits a 10x10 trade show space? +
Any kit made for 10x10, or any configurable kit ordered in the 10ft width, will fit a 10x10 space. Kits made for this footprint include the 10x10 Backlit SEGO Three-Wall Booth Kit with 2 Sidewalls and the 10x10 Backlit SEGO Booth Kit with Square Arch Backwall. Choose an L-shape for a corner booth and a three-wall layout for an inline booth.
What size backlit display do I need for a 10x20 booth? +
Choose a 20ft kit for a 10x20 booth. Options include the 20ft Backlit SEG Booth Kit with L-Arch, Sidewall & Counter, the 20ft Backlit SEG U-Shape Booth Kit with Lightbox Counter and the 20ft Straight Backlit SEG Lightbox Wall. These kits come in heights of 6.6ft, 7.4ft and 8.2ft, so check your show's height limit for inline booths before you choose.
Does a backlit trade show booth need electricity? +
Yes, a backlit booth needs a power connection because the LED lighting must be plugged in. Most Canadian venues require exhibitors to order electrical service through the show organiser or the venue's official contractor. Book it when you confirm your booth space, and check the product details or ask the team about the power needs of your chosen kit.
Which backlit booth is best for an island space? +
The 20ft Backlit SEG Island Booth with Y-Walls, Header & Counter is designed for island spaces. Its Y-walls show lit graphics toward several aisles, the header raises your brand above the crowd, and the counter gives staff a place to greet visitors. Ask for a free 2D proof to see how your graphics look from each side.
Can I use the same backlit booth at shows with different booth sizes? +
Yes, if you choose a modular kit. The Backlit SEG Panel Wall System with 24 Lightbox Panels is made of separate 3.3ft-wide panels, so you can set up more or fewer panels to suit each space. Kits with sidewalls or counters can also be set up without some pieces when a smaller booth needs a simpler layout.
Is a backlit booth worth it compared with a pop-up display? +
A backlit booth costs more than a basic pop-up, but its lit graphics stand out in a busy hall and the frames can be reused for years. If you rebrand, you can order new graphics for the frames you already own instead of buying a new booth. For regular exhibitors, this usually makes a backlit kit the better long-term choice.
Do backlit booth kits come with a counter? +
Many kits do, and the kit name tells you whether a counter is included. For example, the Backlit SEG Booth Kit with L-Arch Backwall & Lightbox Counter and the Backlit SEG U-Shape Booth Kit with 3 Lightbox Walls & Counter both include a lit counter. Kits such as the 20ft Straight Backlit SEG Lightbox Wall are wall-only.
How tall are backlit trade show booth kits? +
Most configurable kits come in three heights: 6.6ft, 7.4ft and 8.2ft. The 6.6ft option suits venues with low ceilings or strict height limits. The 8.2ft option gives the most graphic space but may exceed some inline booth limits. Check your exhibitor manual, then choose the tallest height your show allows.
