Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions about modular trade show displays.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MODULAR AND CUSTOM EXHIBIT?
Custom exhibits may incorporate some of the framing and hardware systems used in modular booths, but the sky is the limit for shapes, materials, and any unique look tailored specifically for your brand. They require more production time and generally cost more than a modular exhibit to achieve your unique vision.
Can i rent a rent an exhibit with custom components?
Absolutely. If you need a display that requires custom solutions, whether it’s signage, materials, structural components, etc., we can utilize rental frameworks that can be further customized.
How much does a Custom exhibit cost?
This varies greatly depending on the size, configurations, customization, and materials used to create your display. Custom displays typically start $10,000 for a small size, while larger display sizes can extend into six figures. We work with your budget to provide a fantastic display that meets your business needs and trade show goals.
What other costs are associated with CUSTOM displays?
Aside from the cost of the display itself, you’ll also need to factor in a custom crate that will protect your exhibit contents and maximize efficiency. Additionally, you’ll have to consider the costs of shipping and material handling at each trade show location.
Show services should also be considered in your trade show budget: carpet/flooring, Wi-Fi, lighting and electrical, cleaning, installation, and dismantling. We can handle any of your shipping and show services needs and also offer storage in our climate-controlled warehouse in Calgary, Alberta.
