Frequently asked questions

What should a 10ft trade show booth include?

A back wall, a counter, one or two banner stands and lighting. A 10ft x 8ft Lite Embrace push-fit wall is $643.70 complete with its printed front graphic, a WaveLine counter frame is $126, a 33.5in Merlin retractable banner stand is $316 complete and a 50W light is $23.

How much does a 10ft trade show booth cost?

Hardware and printed graphics are priced separately. Hardware only, a 10ft x 8ft push-fit frame starts at $310 and a full-height 10ft x 10ft Hopup frame at $515.04. Complete with graphics the same two are $643.70 and $1,063.38. A full stand with counter, banner stand and light lands around $1,100.

How do you make a small trade show booth stand out?

Height, light and one message. Lighting is the cheapest lever at $23 to $168 per fixture. Keep the back wall to a single headline that reads at walking speed from the far side of the aisle, and put product or demo at the front edge rather than against the wall.

Is a backlit display worth it in a 10ft booth?

A 10ft x 8ft WaveLight backlit display is $1,166 hardware only and $2,472 as a complete kit, against $643.70 for a complete push-fit wall. It pays off in a dim hall or next to bright neighbours. In a brightly lit hall the visible difference is much smaller.

What is the cheapest way to refresh a 10ft booth each year?

Buy the frame once and reprint the graphic. On a 10ft x 8ft Lite Embrace the frame is $310 and a replacement front graphic is $333.69, against $643.70 for the complete display. From the second show onward each rebrand costs about half the price of a new stand.

Do you need a hanging banner for a 10ft booth?

Usually not. Most shows cap inline and corner spaces at 8ft and allow hanging signs only over island spaces. Check the exhibitor manual before ordering, because a 10ft circle hanging banner graphic alone is $730 and it is a wasted order if the rules do not allow it.

How many banner stands fit a 10ft booth?

One or two. A 33.5in Merlin retractable stand starts at $97 and is $316 complete with its printed graphic, and a pair flanks a 10ft wall without crowding the aisle. A third leaves no room for visitors to step into the space.

Where should the counter go in a 10ft booth?

To one side of the front edge, not in the middle. A centred counter blocks the only way into a 10ft space and turns the booth into a service window. A WaveLine counter frame is $126 and doubles as storage for the shipping bag.

How long does production take?

Standard production time is 3 business days. Transit time is additional and depends on destination and shipping method. For a first show, order at least three weeks out so there is room for a graphic revision.
