Custom Trade Show Exhibits
A Custom Trade Show Exhibit Is Built Around One Brand
A custom trade show exhibit is a tool specially made for a business to showcase its brand, products, services, and marketing. Each display is designed and constructed to meet your exact brand goals and specifications. These exhibits feature tailored graphics, layouts, and components that create memorable impressions and attract your target audience, helping build lasting brand recognition.
The Payoff of Going Custom Instead of Off-the-Shelf
Custom displays offer design flexibility and allow your brand to stand out. With control over every element, you can align visuals and messaging with your business goals for maximum impact.
Tailoring Your Brand's Presence
A custom trade show booth or banner communicates your brand identity through strategic use of colors, logos, and messaging. This consistency builds brand awareness and credibility.
Gain a Competitive Edge
Custom booths can help you outperform the competition by incorporating unique layouts, eye-catching visuals, and interactive features that draw attendees in and keep them engaged.
Custom Booth Sizes and What They Cost
Most custom trade show exhibits are built to fit one of a few standard booth footprints. Cost tracks size and construction, from tabletop displays in the low hundreds of dollars to large custom islands quoted per project.
An island booth is open on all four sides, which is where fully custom, large-format designs have the most room to work. Most APG modular kits assemble by hand in under an hour without tools, which keeps your on-site labor cost down at every show.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designs and builds custom trade show exhibits?
APG Exhibits designs and builds custom trade show exhibits entirely in-house, from concept to fabrication. A dedicated account manager and an assigned designer handle branding, layout, printing, and construction, serving exhibitors from first-time startups to Fortune 500 programs, all backed by a price match guarantee.
How much does a custom trade show display cost?
A custom trade show display ranges from a few hundred dollars for tabletop and pop up displays to several thousand for large modular booths. Modular Vector Frame kits, for example, run from about 3,775 to 6,595 dollars depending on size and configuration, while custom islands are quoted per project.
What is the difference between a custom and a modular trade show display?
A custom trade show display is engineered from scratch to one brand's exact goals, while a modular display uses reconfigurable frames you can rebuild across different show sizes. Many APG custom exhibits combine both, using modular hardware for reuse and custom graphics for a one-off look.
How long does it take to design and build a custom booth?
Timelines depend on booth size and complexity, but APG Exhibits is built around fast turnaround. The process runs through consultation, planning, design development with revisions, fabrication, and shipping. Contact our team with your show date so we can confirm the schedule for your specific build.
