The Exhibitor’s Guide to Trade Show Displays

Each guide below is a complete information sheet on one type of display. It covers how the display works, how the options compare, which sizes fit your booth, how to set it up and the questions exhibitors ask us most. Read one before you buy and you’ll know exactly what you’re getting. New guides are added to the series regularly.

Common Display Categories

Different events and booth spaces require different display solutions. Understanding the main types of trade show displays helps you select the best option for your marketing goals and exhibiting strategy.

Banner Stands

Lightweight, affordable display options that work well for smaller booths, presentations, and additional messaging within a trade show space.

Pop-Up Displays

One of the most popular booth backwall solutions. They expand quickly to create a large branded backdrop and are easy to transport between events.

Fabric Displays

Tension fabric displays give a modern, seamless appearance with vibrant graphics — lightweight, durable, and ideal for a clean, professional look.

SEG Fabric Displays

Silicone Edge Graphics fit into aluminum frames, creating a sleek, frameless appearance commonly used in modern trade show booths.

Modular Trade Show Displays

Flexible systems for exhibitors who attend multiple shows. They can be reconfigured and expanded for 10x10, 10x20, and larger booth spaces.

Outdoor Displays

Built for festivals, sporting events, farmers markets, and promotional activations — branded tents, outdoor banner stands, and weather-ready signage.
