Display size can play a major role in your ability to draw guests to your booth, while portability can be a critical factor in your ability to effectively set up your booth. You can choose from portable, tabletop and pop-up booths, modular systems, panel display and truss systems.

Portable display

Portable displays are made of lightweight materials and can be easily transported. Tabletop and pop-up displays are two types of popular portable trade show displays.

Tabletop display

Tabletop displays are used for smaller shows or ones where your space is limited. They are usually available in a variety of styles including fabric and graphic panels and sizes to accommodate display tables. Tabletop displays are known for their portability, easy set-up, value and convenience.

Pop-up booths

Pop-up trade show display boards are popular options to cover a typical 10x10 trade show space. Pop-up displays can be used in combination with a variety of other trade show accessories such as shelving and collateral displays. Because pop-up booths are made to reuse, you should inquire about durability, ease of setup, fabric colors and warranties when selecting a pop-up display.

Modular systems

Modular systems are more high-end display boards that provide a custom look. Modular systems are typically shipped in molded plastic cases. These systems use a range of high-end materials including composites and laminates, aluminum frames and various other unique designs. These systems can hold a large amount of weight and can be ideal for plasma screen or LCD panel displays.

Panel display

Panel trade show display boards can typically withstand more weight than pop-up displays. This factor can, in some cases, help to create a more high-end display. Panel displays can work well for those looking to display computer monitors or a large quantity of other heavy products.

Truss Systems

Truss systems can be used to showcase products, projected images and graphics. These systems are typically used for structural and decorative trade show elements.
