Portable Pop Up Displays: Forget The Pain Of Setting Up Conventional Exhibits
Pop up portable displays can be a real powerhouse for those attending exhibitions on the smaller scale. Portable pop up exhibits are especially well-liked for their ease of transportability, being a snap to transport without needing special shipping or packing. They are extremely useful for tradeshows and conventions that are attended by small groups of representatives. They are easy to set up, even by just one person.
Portable pop up displays, modular displays, and custom displays are the three main categories of exhibits. Portable pop up displays are the most simple and will be discussed in detail. Modular displays are almost as portable as pop ups but more complicated and costly. They simulate custom work, may be easy to assemble, and are usually crated and shipped by common carriers. Custom displays are the most elaborate and expensive option. They are also more difficult to set up.
Where a custom display may need a crew to set up and a truck of its own to ship, pop up displays will break down into easy to carry parts that will fit in nearly any car, SUV or van. They are designed to be as easy to set up as they are to move from exhibit to exhibit.
The appearance of portable pop up displays is quite variable. The sections can be fabric covered, plastics, or nearly anything for the desired effect. A common way to assemble the panel overlays and the sections is the use of magnets which quickly and simply tie sections together.
Pop up units typically are used very conventionally as a regular box shaped booth. But they can also be used to create interesting shapes that will really catch the eye of people walking near your exhibit. So don't just use these units to make a box, use your imagination and think outside the box!
In order to set up pop up portable displays, a space with dimensions of about 8' by 20' is usually the minimum, but they will work in a wide variety of spaces. The first step is setting up the framework to establish the rear panel of the exhibit. Next, attachments are added to the sides where posters, graphics, and other information are displayed.
Making a choice between the various types of portable pop up displays requires considering several factors, one of which is cost. Even the least expensive options can cost several thousand dollars if you want a professional appearance. Setup time is also important. Consider how many parts each provider requires for the display. Less parts mean less setup time and a lower likelihood of losing an important component in transit.
Finally, the choice of which product to buy depends on the look you desire. Some companies may offer great traditional booths, but not the modern, hexagonal work of art exhibit you have in mind. Find the display that meets your vision to present your product as well as one that meets your budget and assembly skills.
Of the three main kinds of displays, portable pop up displays, modular displays and custom displays, the pop ups are the least expensive and most suitable for small businesses with small exhibit teams. Pop up portable displays require no special vehicles or packing and are easy to set up and take apart by only one or two people. They can be carried in an ordinary vehicle, and come in many forms and types. Frameworks form "walls" on which panels covered in fabric or other materials are mounted, and these can be booths or creative, artistic geometric shapes. Portable pop up exhibits can vary in size, usually 8' to 20' wide.
