PORTABLE, MODULAR AND CUSTOM MODULAR
Trade show stands have morphed over time. However, the basics are still the same. The stand is a backdrop to show off your product and/your services, that sets you apart from your competition. In the digital age the stand has literally become the stage, from where you present your offerings. The design and manufacturing of stand comes in various flavors. There are portables and banner stands, there are modular and custom modular and then there are custom booths.

When do I MAKE THE LEAP FROM PORTABLE TO MODULAR AND CUSTOM MODULAR?
A pop up display does a few things really well.
Set up: They make set-up a breeze.
1. This is great for impatient sales people.
2. Folks who have limited install abilities.
3. If you cannot or will not pay labor, and don’t have a dedicated trade show person capable of moderately complex installation of 2+ hours – then a pop up is for you.
Shipping: If you want to reduce shipping costs, then a pop up is for you.
1. Modular displays require shipping 1-2 skids and will increase shipping costs significantly.
2. Pop ups can sometimes even be checked as bags with the airline.
Storage: A pop-up has limited parts and can usually easily fit in a closet. And pop ups almost always under 50 lbs, and in containers with rolling wheels. If you want to store conveniently in a small area in your office, a pop up is a good choice for you.
Affordability: Pop up displays are a great value. They are at the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to budget.
On the other hand, a modular exhibit system can do a number of things well.
Reconfiguration: Modular displays can reconfigure into virtually endless sizes. For example, your 10×10 can reconfigure to a 10×20, a 20×20, 30×30 and so on.
Accessories: Modular systems have the ability to support and great range of accessories. Storage cabinets, TV mounts, shelving, retail merchandising, iPad holders, and much more.
Custom look with our the custom cost: A modular system is designed by a trained exhibit designer to accommodate your unique needs and brand.
Things a modular system can’t do: Set up in under 1 hour, compete with pop up pricing, fit easily in a closet, ship as conveniently and affordably as a pop up.
Note: The difference between Modular and Custom Modular is the difference in the architecture and the details that goes into constructing your booth. For example, if you want custom elements in your booth like LED lit shelves, or unique shaped backwall, or koi pond in your space, then that falls under 'Custom Modular'. However, since, having in-house 3D printing capabilities, often times blurs the line between modular and custom modular offerings.
