What is a pop up display booth?

A pop up display booth is a lightweight, portable booth that comes in many different shapes and sizes. An entire pop up display packs into its own specially-designed case with wheels–making the pop up display booth one of the most portable options out there. These cost-effective booths are made up of metal frames and fabric graphics. Accessories, lights, furniture, and flooring can also be added to customize the booth. Pop up display booths are relatively easy to assemble and disassemble, and they pack into cases that can be shipped by common carriers.

Some examples of recent displays. Check out our full pop up display gallery for inspiration.

What makes pop up displays cost effective?

Pop up display booths are a very cost effective option for many reasons. For starters, they cost only a fraction of the price of larger, custom trade show displays. They also save you quite a bit in other show-related expenses. Because pop up displays are highly portable, they can be shipped via the shipping carrier of your choice–no expensive freight shipping is required. Drayage fees are not necessary since you can bring your pop up display to your exhibit spot yourself, and you won’t need to hire labor to set up or break down your display because the pop up booth assembly is quick, easy, and toolless. If you want to give your booth a new look, you can simply update your graphics. This will make your booth look brand new and save you the cost of purchasing a new display. Pop up displays allow you to save when purchasing or updating your booth; and every time you attend a trade show event, you will save in shipping, drayage, and labor fees.

Will a pop up display make my booth stand out?

Pop up displays have a striking appearance with colorful, high-quality dye sublimation graphics that are printed in the US. Sturdy, aluminum frames hold graphics in place. The “walls” of the pop up display booth are made up of one or more panels that come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Curved, angled, or rounded panels add visual interest to the display booth. Optional backlit graphics make the booth stand out even more. All these features combine to give your pop up display booth a professional look that will set you apart from the crowd.

Are pop up displays easy to set up?

Pop up booth assembly is generally very easy. Many pop up booths are designed to be set up without any tools at all. Aluminum frames can generally be put together using the manufacturer’s toolless push lock assembly mechanism. Fabric graphics are designed to attach to the frame. Because of their unique, toolless design, some pop up displays can easily be set up or taken apart in a matter of minutes–saving you a lot of time and hassle. To set up your pop up booth without any tools, follow these 5 simple steps:

    1. Read the instructions and check that you have all the correct parts
    2. Put the frame pieces together using the self-lock mechanism
    3. Connect the frame to the sturdy feet
    4. Attach the graphics
    5. Secure accessories to the booth’s frame

How many people are needed to set up a pop up display?

Most pop up booths are designed so that only one person is necessary to set them up. If you have a larger booth, it may be more convenient to have more than one person working on set up and break down. Since the pop up booth displays are lightweight and the pop up booth assembly is toolless, they generally don’t take very many people to set up. The simplicity of assembling these booths can save you a lot in labor costs since you will never have to hire professional labor to assemble or disassemble your display booth at a trade show event.

Are pop up display booths easy to transport?

Pop up display booths are extremely portable. One entire pop up display booth can be broken down and packed into its own case that can be conveniently carried or wheeled to your trade show booth site. Because the entire booth is lightweight and packs into a small case, booths can be shipped through FedEx, UPS, or other regular shipping carriers. These portable booths do not require freight shipping–making these pop up displays easy to transport and saving you a lot of money every time you need to ship your booth.

How to Customize Your Pop Up Booth Display

Pop up displays can be customized to fit your needs. There are so many different options available for custom pop up displays. Here are some ways to ensure your booth is exactly what you are looking for.

1) Choose your pop up display booth’s size and layout

Pop up display booths come in a variety of sizes. Once you have chosen a size, you can mix and match many pop up booth features to create the style and layout you want. Choose from curved walls, angled walls, rounded walls, walls with multiple panels, side walls, and other options. Put it all together for a custom pop up booth display.

2) Customize your graphics

Your graphics are completely up to you. Choose the graphics you want for your booth’s walls, counters, and more. Double-sided graphics are also available for booth walls if you want your graphics to be visible on both sides. To update your pop up display booth’s appearance, simply change out the graphics, and you will have a completely new booth!

3) Decide on a lighting option for your pop up display booth

To really make your booth shine, make sure that the graphics are well lit. Light boxes can be used to backlight your graphics so they really stand out on a trade show floor. White, LED clip-on lights are also available to illuminate your booth. Either way, make sure your booth has plenty of lighting to ensure a successful trade show event!

4) Accessorize your pop up booth display

To add character and function to your display, choose accessories that will enhance your booth. Counters, display tables, and other furniture are all available to make your booth more functional and comfortable. If you need to display a lot of products at the trade show event, a shelving unit is a good option. Monitors add visual interest to your display, and flooring goes a long way in elevating your booth’s appearance. Other add ons such as pop up banners make your booth more noticeable in a crowd. There are many pop up booth display ideas to choose from to help your booth stand out!

5) Make your custom pop up display booth modular

If you are planning to attend multiple trade shows this year, it might be a good idea to get one modular pop up display booth instead of purchasing multiple display booths of different sizes. Modular pop up display booths are unique because they are designed to fit more than one booth size depending on your needs. For example, you can purchase one 10 x 20 modular pop up display booth that converts into two 10 x 10 pop up displays. A modular pop up display is the perfect option if you are planning to attend multiple trade show events.
