Portable displays are usually light-weight and can be quickly assembled into a booth space for events. Quite often these are made with pop up displays, a type of exhibit booth that uses an expanding frame that “pops up” into place.

These pop up trade show displays most often use fabric graphics, and most often, these fabric graphics have a silicon edge on the edge of the fabric. That silicone bead pushes into a groove on the pop up frame of the exhibit display. These “Push-Fit” or SEGs (silicone-edge-graphics) are also known as tension fabric graphics (because they are stretched out, or under tension), and provide a taut looking display with very few wrinkles in the fabric.

High Quality Trade Show Booths Customized to Your Brand

Custom modular systems are larger and more complex and require more setup time but offer the advantage of being able to customize the design to fit the brand’s specific needs. These trade show displays usually use rigid lightweight aluminum frames and fabric graphics, and are designed so that the pieces can be used separately – in other words, 20ft wide fabric displays can usually be broken into half to use as a 10ft trade show display. Or you can add a section to make it a 30ft wide exhibit display instead.

Banner Stands

Banner stands are an economical and space-efficient way to get your message across at a trade show. Most often at trade shows, exhibitors use pull up retractable banner stands, designed to take up minimal space in transit, and keep the graphic rolled up in the base of the exhibit display. These graphics are very easy to set up; all that is needed is to remove the (very) portable exhibit from the carrying case, pull up the banner and hook it to an integral pole on the pop up stand.

Truss Displays

Lastly, truss displays are an excellent option for those looking to add a more professional and impressive look to their exhibit booth. These trade show exhibits utilize an interlocking truss system, usually made of aluminum or steel, to create the frame which can then be covered with your high impact graphics. The truss frame is far more sturdy than a pop up display, and can be adapted to fit any size exhibit booth.

No matter what type of exhibit display you choose, it is important to make sure that the overall design is professional, consistent with your brand’s identity, and follows trade show regulations. Your display should be eye-catching so that it stands out from the competition and draws attention from attendees. Additionally, make sure to include all of your company’s contact information prominently displayed on the booth, as well as any product demonstrations or customer engagement activities you plan to offer.

How to create an impactful and eye-catching display that will draw in potential customers

Creating an eye-catching display is key to drawing in potential customers at a trade show. Start by defining your company’s brand identity, including the colors and fonts that should be used throughout the display. This helps create a cohesive look for your booth and will make it more recognizable to passing attendees. Next, decide on what type of graphics you will use for your display. This could involve large format digital graphics, fabric prints, or 3D elements like foam board logos and cutouts. Additionally, think about how you can incorporate interactive elements into your booth design to engage potential customers. This could involve product demonstrations, giveaway items, or even games that attendees can play in order to win prizes.

Why the graphic designing of your trade show booth is SO important

Graphic design is an essential component when it comes to creating a successful trade show booth. The graphics of your booth should not only be eye-catching and consistent with your brand identity, but it should also clearly convey the key messages you want attendees to take away from your booth.

Having well-designed graphics helps draw attendees in, as well as make sure that they remember your company after the event has ended. Additionally, having professional and great quality graphics will help ensure that your exhibit stands out from the competition and makes a lasting impression on potential customers.

Creating an eye-catching display is key to drawing in potential customers at a trade show, so make sure you spend time designing your graphics with care. Or hire these design services out. Doing this will help make sure that your portable exhibits stand out from the competition and catches the attention of attendees. With the right design elements and a little bit of creativity, you can create an impactful display that resonates with potential customers and helps increase brand awareness for your business.

Don’t forget to consider your lights and flooring. Lights offer a chance to focus attention on the most important graphic or image. And flooring is a great opportunity to advertise your brand, by having your logo and/or tag line custom printed onto the flooring.
