Custom Pop Up Trade Show Booth Displays

In the fast-paced world of trade shows, the importance of a polished presence cannot be overstated.

But many businesses don't have the time or resources to devote to massive indoor event activations that require teams to install and tear down. That's why the team at TentCraft has focused on creating custom pop up trade show booth displays that are not only easy to transport and assemble, but also are unique and guaranteed to stand out in a crowded field of exhibitors.

As the leading American manufacturer of custom tents and structures for the event industry, TentCraft knows a thing or two about event assets and what's needed to make your brand shine at its next trade show or indoor event.

An American-made, portable trade show display allows you to effortlessly set up and dismantle your trade show exhibit without compromising on quality or aesthetics. When combined with other custom-printed trade show products, you can transform that blank 10x10 or 20x20 trade show floor into a work of art.

Modern Truss Structure Lounge

We love using truss for trade show activations because it's so versatile. In this rendering for T-Mobile, we incorporated an arched media wall with a basic truss layout to create a beautifully layered lounge experience.

You can dress up your truss structures by wrapping the legs with your company's branding, and then wrap the top to ensure attendees don't miss your booth.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a pop-up trade show display?

  • A pop-up trade show display is a trade show booth activation that can easily be transported, set up, and taken down quickly. Typically, this type of trade show booth display can be installed by two people, as opposed to a team of people who typically tackle larger exhibitions.

    Common solutions include pop-up tents, retractable banners, and custom table covers.

  • What are the benefits of a pop-up display?

  • The biggest benefits of pop-up displays are the ease of transportation and installation. Many trade show exhibitors want a solution they can easily put into their car (or onto a plane!) and carry with them to the show floor.

    As a bonus, many pop-up solutions — like canopy tents — can also be used at outdoor events, giving businesses an extra bang for their buck.

  • How much weigh do you need for a pop-up canopy tent?

  • The amount of weight you need depends on the size of your tent, in addition to any accessories you have installed on it, like back-walls and side-walls, which impact wind ratings. Staking your tent is the preferred method, but if you’re on concrete or other hard surfaces, at least 200 pounds is needed to properly anchor your tent.

  • How much does a pop-up trade show booth cost?

  • The cost of a pop-up trade show booth depends on the overall size and scope of the activation. TentCraft trade show booth solutions can cost anywhere between $1,500 and $10,000, but it really depends on what you're investing in.

    A more basic activation with a custom table cover and a custom-printed backdrop is obviously more affordable than a custom tent setup with backlit SEG walls.

    If you're concerned about budgets, the best thing to do is talk over your project with a sales representative to come up with solutions at different pricing tiers and work toward something that fits your event goal and your budget.

  • How fast can TentCraft turn around my custom pop up trade show booth?

  • TentCraft can typically turn around your custom trade show project in three to five business days. That's because we manufacture and custom-print all of our trade show solutions in the United States (in Northern Michigan, to be exact!), and operate under a build-to-order model.

  • How quickly can a pop-up trade show booth be set up?

  • The beauty of a quality pop-up trade show booth is that it can be set up really quickly. On average, you can set up many of the displays found on this page in 10-15 minutes. SEG (silicone edge graphics) displays and truss structures will take a little longer than that timeframe, but are easy to set up after doing it a few times.

  • Can you use a pop-up trade show booth indoors and outdoors?

  • Some elements of a pop-up trade show booth can be used indoors and outdoors.

    A canopy tent, for instance, can easily be used indoors and outdoors because there are multiple ways to anchor it against high winds.

    Other elements, like media walls and SEG, are trickier to recommend for outdoor use. Those large activations essentially act like a sail in the wind and would require heavy-duty ballasting.

    Reach out to our team if you have questions about specific event solutions for outdoor or indoor use.
