Popular Trade Show Displays

The trade shows display industry definitely has evolved over the last 10 years. Not long ago the trade show display booth industry was cluttered with dull fabric pop up and panel display booths. Don’t get me wrong these booths served there purpose but didn’t allow for much variety or ways to differentiate from other exhibitors. The good news is that the old style booths of yesterday have been redeveloped with a more modern appeal. In addition new products and accessories have been rolled out in order to meet the demand of a growing market. These products have been developed with the end user in mind while offering modern amenities such as LCD screens, lighting and motion. Listed below are some the more popular displays used within the trade show industry.

Pop Up Displays:

The pop up displays are your accordion style displays that setup and collapse easily. These displays are made of light weight aluminum and fabric materials. You can customize the look by adding graphics.

HopUp:

The HopUp is very similar in style to the pop up. This display is also made with a lightweight collapsible frame. However, this booth differs by having dye sub fabric attached to the frame making for faster setup and breakdown while eliminating panel seam lines of the traditional pop up.

ShowMax:

The ShowMax is practical booth for people on the go. This is an all in one table top trade show display combines the transportation case and the booth into one. This table top display is encapsulated with a hard protective shell, that when opened transforms into your table top display.

Allumalite:

The Allumalite is a hybrid booth that takes elements of a custom booth and a modular display and fuses them together. In return creating a lighter weight customized booth that can be reconfigured to fit your booth space. This is a relatively new display that has been on the market for about a year now but seems to be capturing the market fairly quickly.

Truss:

Exhibit Truss systems are structural displays that can be reconfigured into multiple configurations. These displays are usually made from aluminum or steal. The truss exhibit provides a great looking durable exhibit that can be customized to fit your needs.


I’m sure that I missed some of the more popular trade show booths but these are the ones that I have used and have in depth knowledge of. I hope you find this post informative and appealing.
