Portable Exhibits
Looking to lighten your trade show load, build flexibility and economy into your trade show program? Portable Exhibit Units could be the solution for you. While portables offer the convenience of lighter transportation, easier set-up and take-down and less overall maintenance, there are many more reasons to consider portables for your sales and marketing team. And answering the needs to your sales team request, for an exhibit that will go up, come down and pack in the trunk is what portables are all about.
Structural Design
Integrity
Many of you probably remember the days of the fold out table-top, or the free-standing exhibits that created something of a wall backdrop. Man those things were workhorses, but also did not offer much in the way of creativity, especially since they depended on what you were going to adhere to the Velcro ready surface. Since those early days of the table-top, portables have come a long way. Today’s exhibits offer structural design integrity, as well as ability to present your brand and products with a creative styling typically not associated with portables.
Uses and Features
- Portable Exhibits are easy-to-use and set up.
- They are lightweight systems that are perfect for conferences, trade shows, traveling road shows, seminars, and promotional events.
- They are attractive and engaging- with new printing techniques, there is no need to deal with a bunch of photos that look like they’ve been through trade show wars.
- They are inexpensive (compared with full size custom or rental exhibits) and can fit any linear space from 10 to 100 feet. Some companies go to show exclusively with portables and build intriguing exhibit designs around them.
- Portables will obviously reduce your freight expense, in many cases you can check them as luggage and they go with you to the show. But saving on costly and timely freight is only one of the features where portables save you. The time you spend in searching for, waiting for and relying upon is all your time. Portables give that back to you.
Benefits to Consider
- Simplicity – This type of exhibit is so easy to use and requires very little time. Portable Exhibits can usually be assembled by one person just by popping open the frames and locking them in place.
- Reusable – This will withstand travel and usage for many trade shows to come. When you are ready for new graphics, it’s easy to replace while using the same frame – which is money-saving as well!
- Portable -As the name implies, these exhibits are easy to transport and travel with, which saves you money on shipping costs.
- Effective without being expensive – Portable exhibits make a statement and look incredibly professional. Even if you have a small area to place your exhibit, you have to admit that a tablecloth with some business cards spread on it will often go unnoticed. A Portable Exhibit still maximizes your impact and overall appearance but without the huge budget.

How can Adcraft help support your portable exhibit needs?
Good question. Like most things, search the Internet and you’ll find many brands, companies and options available. And we suggest you do shop this around, you can probably find this on Amazon. But keep in mind, the exhibit you purchase will require another stage (graphic printing for one) and more handling than what you might have considered.
Adcraft knows what your goals and expectations are, we work with many companies and know that portables are part of your overall trade show and exhibiting program. Think of it like this:
A) You find a design you like, share this with us. We can help you determine if it is a good fit and right for your overall tradeshow program. Amazon does not care about this.
B) Next, we look at the messaging, brand and graphics that you want to employ to this exhibit vehicle. We will work with you on original, creative design, or work with your team to ensure your image is properly printed and displayed.
C) Added items: Yes, with your exhibit space, there are generally added components that you will require. This falls into our show services which we will ensure you have the right services (from electrical, furniture and carpet, to daily cleaning if needed).
D) Show materials are also to consider. Yes we want to help reduce your dependency on exhibit transport, but you’re always going to have literature or giveaways, and these need to ship to the show. Depending on the amount, we can arrange anything from UPS to freight transportation. And include that portable exhibit along with it.
E) Show Restrictions: Depending on the show, the city of the show and the exhibit hall, you could have restrictions involved on many of your set-up duties. While you might be able to set-up and take-down your exhibit, the electrical union in that city may not allow you to plug in your lights. Adcraft will know this, and make sure you have a clear path when you get to the show floor.
