Portable, Modular Trade Show Exhibits For Less-Stressful Show Days

Designed for speed, portability, and repeat use, our pop-up display kits are made for teams that want to manage set up and tear down without expensive show services.

Modular display systems make it convenient to scale up or down whether you need to fill a 10'x10' footprint or a 10'x20' footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pop-up trade show display?
A portable, 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, SEG walls, and custom table covers.

What's the difference between a pop-up or portable booth and a fully custom booth?
The main difference is the complexity of setup and teardown and the level of custom fabrication required to make your booth a true 1 of 1.

A pop-up booth consists of multiple components such as media walls, flags, snap together truss features, tents, small tables or counters, SEG, etc where the customization is often found in the printing and branding of soft good assets. And setup can often be done by your team without outside help.

A complex custom trade show exhibit often requires custom carpentry, features that are built to any specific dimension, custom electrical work, custom product displays, and they typically require show services to manage the actual construction of the booth on the show floor.

Technically, we serve both options. TentCraft specializes in the portable version. And World Class Displays (a TentCraft company) specializes in the fully custom experiences.

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 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 $2,000 and $15,000, but it really depends on what you're investing in.

A more basic 10'x10' activation with a custom table cover and a custom-printed backdrop is obviously more affordable than a 10'x20' system with multiple SEG walls, product displays, and table options.

If you're concerned about budgets, the best thing to do is discuss your project with a TentCraft 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, portable trade show projects in three to five business days (after design approval).

However, this can fluctuate during the busiest seasons so it's always best to get your order in as early as possible.

Our quick turnaround times are often quicker than our competitors because we're a manufacturer and custom-print operation for all of our trade show solutions in the United States (in Northern Michigan, to be exact!), and operate under a built-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 pop-up 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.
