MODULAR EXHIBITSModular trade show displays are made up of pre-fabricated booth components that can be adapted for use in different settings and applications. This allows a single exhibit to be utilized in any environment by modifying the exhibit’s components to suit different-sized areas. Components can be configured and re-configured into a countless variety of sizes and shapes for different shows and all module types can be connected to one another — no restrictions! Exhibits can be increased in size by adding onto an existing exhibit to create a larger one...or a portion of a larger exhibit can be effectively used even when a smaller scale display is appropriate.

By investing in a modular inline exhibit, your business will be well-equipped to display at any event, no matter the size or configuration, without having to make an investment in a new custom display. For example, the same basic trade show booth elements can be used in a 20’x20’ booth as in a 20’x10’ booth, with just a few simple modifications, additions or rentals. No matter what you’re looking for, our selection offers affordable selections for every kind of budget.

PORTABLE EXHIBITSWhen you’re looking for an exhibit that you can take on the road with you, portable trade show displays fit the bill. These smaller-sized booths are lightweight and versatile, allowing you to easily pack up, transport and set them up on your own.

Our lightweight portable trade show exhibits and displays offer you the flexibility to help you present your business, message or products with style in any environment.

Due to the portability and ease of set-up of these displays, one person is often all that is needed to set-up a display that makes a truly impactful statement, providing the perfect solution for do-it-yourself exhibitors. Additionally, our portable exhibit systems can adapt to your changing needs over time, allowing you to only take a portion of your larger display booth with you for specific events or add to the display when a larger space is required.
