Trade Show Display Buying Guides

Choose a trade show display by the job it needs to do, then compare the complete package. These guides help you narrow the booth size, printed sides, monitor or shelving requirements, transport and future graphic costs before you buy.

Start with your booth space

• How to choose a trade show display for a 10 × 10 booth
  Compare a fabric backwall, a lightbox and a package with presentation hardware. See what a complete display includes and how to compare 10 ft displays within a $3,000 display budget.
• How to choose a trade show display for a 10 × 20 booth
  Compare a wide backwall, separate panels and a fuller booth package. Check the assembled layout, room for visitors and the hardware included in the price.

Choose what the display needs to do

• Trade show displays with a monitor mount
  Separate an included monitor mount from an optional accessory. Check screen weight, diagonal size, mounting-hole pattern and orientation for the exact configuration.
• Trade show displays with shelving
  Compare packages that include shelves and identify what needs checking for the products you plan to show. A shelf shown in a photograph is not automatically included.
• Backlit vs. standard fabric trade show displays
  Compare built-in illumination with a non-backlit fabric graphic. Account for event power, the printed surfaces and the complete package.
• Single-sided vs. double-sided trade show displays
  Decide whether visitors will see the back of your display. Compare print options, reverse finish and replacement-graphic compatibility before choosing a second printed face.

Plan for travel and the next show

• How to transport a trade show display by car or plane
  Check each packed piece, rather than the assembled display size alone. Separate vehicle or airline limits from shipment weight and venue handling.
• How to find replacement graphics for your trade show display
  Match the exact frame model and configuration. Compare a replacement graphic with the full graphic set needed for a multi-panel package.

Turn your requirements into a shortlist

Start with booth size, display budget and printed sides. Add a monitor mount, backlighting or shelving when the selected package must include that feature. The finder compares current complete-package listings and lets you compare up to three displays, including the cost of future graphic changes.
