Booth Size & Booth Space – Exhibit Definitions

Trying to figure out your trade show booth space and the exhibit size that will best fit your needs? Here is a line up of information that you may find helpful when it comes to your trade show display.

Table Top Exhibits are generally used in a 6 to 8 foot booth space, a table is provided by the trade show organizer.  The table provided will fit a 3 to 5 foot tall table top display.  Tradetec Skyline offers a full range of tabletop display systems that are easy to transport, with quick  set up and are durable  to last for years.

Backwall Exhibits or Inline Trade Show Displays are the most common booth spaces, ten-foot deep by ten-foot wide or wider booth space.   Backwall trade show displays are limited to 8 foot high, but if it is on the perimeter of the show hall you may be able to go 12 feet tall.

Island Exhibits & Displays – This is an exhibit that is exposed to all sides of the trade show isle.  These spaces primarly start out at 20 x 20 and can go up to thousands of square feet.  Exhibitors can go up to 16 feet or taller depending on the show or with permission from the show.

Peninsula Exhibits – These are fairly rare and are similar to an island booth space, but with aisles on only three sides, with one side shared with another exhibitor or a wall.

There are several choices of which type of trade show display that will best fit into the selected booth space.

Portable Exhibits, Modular Exhibits or Custom Exhibits.

Portable Exhibits – These displays are designed to be lightweight and be easily transported, portable displays can often be carried or rolled in by the exhibitor.  The smaller the booth space, the more likely this is the best solution for you.  Portable Displays can be pop-up displays, banner stands and some panel systems.

Modular Trade Show Exhibits & Displays are constructed with pre-engineered, integrated components that create a tailored trade show solution.  More sophisticated architecturally and stronger structurally than portable displays,these components are still designed to be lighter weight than a traditional custom exhibit, they can ship in crates rather than cases.   The most common types of modular exhibits are called, truss systems and larger sized panel systems.

Custom Trade Show Displays are made from scratch to the exhibitors requirements and specifications, they are constructed out of metal, wood, plexiglass or any other material.
