What Is a Trade Show Booth Hanging Sign?
A hanging sign for a trade show booth is a branded structure that hangs from the ceiling of the expo hall. These signs come in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing you to complement your overall trade show booth design and attract attention from far away. Hanging banners are a convenient addition to a trade show display since they enable you to maximize your dedicated space, including the vertical portion.
How to Drive Traffic With Trade Show Hanging Signs
Trade shows are filled with branded booths, giveaways, food vendors, stages and people. If you want to direct traffic to your booth, you need a way to draw attention to your brand and stand out from competitors. Hanging displays are an impactful way to maximize your booth's area and point visitors directly where you want them.
Hanging expo displays serve as a guide, helping visitors navigate to your booth easily. Attendees will be more likely to notice your elevated, clear brand message above all others with your attractive hanging banners. Visiting a trade show is an investment — you can get a better return on that investment when you use expo hanging displays to drive the traffic you want.

Assembly, Transport and Venue Rigging
Our hanging sign solutions feature a lightweight aluminum frame that is quick to assemble and simple to transport.

After assembling the frame, you can stretch the fabric over the frame and zip it up for seamless assembly.
Event venues are typically responsible for mounting hanging signs. It's important to research your trade show's venue to learn of any specific rules or restrictions for hanging signs. Some venues may have ceiling rigging limitations, dimensional requirements and electrical considerations for illuminated signs.

What Type of Material Is Used to Make Hanging Banner Signs?
Our trade show hanging structures are made from extruded aluminum, and the signs are made of durable knit polyester. The graphics are dye-sublimated in vibrant full color, resulting in a bright, eye-popping display that resists bleeding and fading.

Our most common hanging banner sizes include:
- 15 feet by 4 feet
- 10 feet by 3 feet
- 8 feet by 2 feet
- 10 feet by 4 feet
While these are some of our most popular sizes, we also carry many other banner sizes to suit different needs.
Are Hanging Cables Included With the Hanging Banner Signs?
No, hanging cables are not typically included with hanging banner signs. The signs need to be mounted to the ceiling by the event venue's rigging crews, who generally prefer to use their own cables to confirm the integrity and proper function of every hanging sign.
