Trade Show Displays, Signs, Banners, and More Event Essentials

FAQs

What are the best trade show displays?

Retractable banners and step-and-repeat displays rank among the best trade show displays. They bring immediate recognition thanks to their impossible-to-overlook designs. Vinyl banners, table covers, and other fabric designs complement your main expo setup. Smaller items, like pedestal signs, table tents, or tabletop banners, add details by listing your services, featuring your contact information, or linking to your website.

How should I choose displays for trade shows and events?

The first thing you need to consider before choosing your trade show displays is the booth size you’re allocated. If you have a fairly small booth, use signage that doesn’t take up much space. Retractable banners and tension fabric stands are relatively narrow and tall products that get the job done while taking up minimal space. Table signs, such as acrylic table signs, table tents, or rack cards, work wonders when set up in high-exposure places. If you have a larger booth, you can rely on curved pop-up displays or SEG displays that dominate the floor and represent your enterprise.

Can I have these displays printed on both sides?

Most trade show displays, including vinyl banners, are available with double-sided printing. You can check each product listed above for exact customization options.

How to make sure my customized trade show display fits my trade show booth?

Measure your booth dimensions and check for any restrictions on the event floor that can prevent you from using your main attraction.

Are these trade show displays portable?

Are displays for conventions easy to assemble?

Do you have any tips for booth signage design?

Keep text minimal and readable from 10+ feet away, use high-contrast colors, include your logo, and focus on one clear message. Don’t overstuff your booth with products if they’ll prevent both your and your customers’ mobility.

What colors should I choose for promotional trade show signage?

Use your brand colors for consistency, with high-contrast combinations like blue/white, red/white, or black/yellow for maximum visibility.

Can you ship the products to the convention center?

Yes, most suppliers offer direct shipping to convention centers with advance shipping options to ensure your displays arrive before your event kicks off.

Can I use the displays more than once?

Yes, quality displays are created for reusability across multiple events with proper storage and care between shows.
