Lightweight Trade Show Display Advantages

When deciding to make a trade show booth, there are incredible benefits to opting for a lightweight trade show display. If you have a small business and are participating in your first trade show exhibition, then a lightweight trade show display or pop-up display will be the best option.

Key Advantages Over Traditional Trade Show Booths:

  • Lightweight portable trade show displays offer a cost-effective alternative to a custom trade show display. They are relatively cheaper than custom trade show booths, but can still be unique portable displays that stand out at trade shows

  • Lightweight portable displays are versatile, easy to transport, and assemble. Therefore, if you have several trade shows lined up, transportation and assembly of the displays will not be an issue. You can have one or two employees to transport and assemble the portable displays without breaking a sweat.

  • The presentations can even fit in a standard SUV, meaning you will not have to break the bank when transporting them.

  • They are more flexible and easily upgradable than custom trade show displays. These lightweight portable displays are effortlessly updated several times. This means you can add new information depending on the type of trade shows you will be attending.

Lightweight Trade Show Display Customizations

Display Materials, Frame Finishes

Portable trade show displays are available in various materials, including fabric, aluminum, wood, and laminate. Tension fabric offers a lightweight and durable choice, while aluminum provides a sleek, modern look. Wood and laminate give a more traditional appearance. Finishes such as matte, gloss, and satin allow for further customization.
