Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a custom trade show booth cost?
The final cost of a custom trade show booth depends on the overall size and scope of the project.

For smaller activations (10'x20') or smaller, you should expect to spend $5,000 to $15,000 depending on the number of assets you're purchasing.

For larger, more custom trade show footprints (20'x20') and beyond), $15,000+.

We understand that budgets are a common problem when shopping for a trade show booth, so the best thing to do is let a sales person know your budget and then see what's capable for your booth.

How quickly can you turn around a custom trade show booth?
TentCraft can turn around most custom trade show booth projects (especially more portable exhibit assets) in 3 to 7 days after design has been approved.

That timeline can fluctuate depending on our current backlog and the overall size of your project.

Because we manufacture our booths in the U.S. and operate off a build-to-order business model, we’re built for speed and can turn around most jobs quicker than our competitors.

Do you offer tool-free trade show products?
Many of our event products are tool free, such as our trade show tents, most of our portable media and product displays, flags and mounts, etc.

Others may require minimal tooling, especially if you're looking for customizations that need to support the weight of expensive, heavy equipment, or to meet engineering requirements of event venues.

How do you design a trade show booth?
TentCraft gives you a dedicated representative who will get the process started by asking you about the event types and footprint sizes you want to be able to accomodate. From there they'll relay information to our in-house engineering and design team that can assist you in designing your trade show booth.

So, whether you have a specific design in mind or need some help, our team is here to execute your project.

Can you ship your displays directly to a hotel or exhibit venue?
Absolutely, we can ship your trade show booth to the most convenient location for you and your business. Make sure to have an address ready to give to your sales or customer service representative.

What makes a good trade show display?
A good trade show display adapts to the challenges of overcoming banner blindness and meets the current expectations of attendees.

For trade show booths to stand out effectively, we're seeing a large emphasis on:

- Clear, crisp visual assets
- Booth elements that are visible at varying eye levels from different parts of the show floor
- Interactive components and demo spaces
- Lighting and screens

From a brand perspective, a good display should:

- Feature modular assets that allow for flexibility across multiple footprint sizes
- Have a tie across branding and event themes
- Have a comfortable flow for foot traffic and work naturally with the event floor
- Come from a vendor who understands venue rules and important fees (drayage, shipping, storage, etc.)
