Trade Show Booths

A trade show booth kit is a complete, portable exhibit that comes in one order: printed backwall graphics, frames, and accessories like a header, monitor mount, shelves, counter, podium and lights. PrintMagic kits use stretch fabric graphics on tool-free aluminum frames.

The most common size is 10x10 ft (100 sq ft), an inline booth open to one aisle. The next size up is 10x20 ft, with twice the frontage. Larger island booths, such as 20x20 ft, are open on all four sides.

A 10x10 is 10 ft wide and fits one or two staff, a backwall and a few accessories. A 10x20 is 20 ft wide, so it holds a longer backwall, more monitors and counters, and often a meeting table. Both are 10 ft deep.

For a 10x10 space, the most budget-friendly complete kits are Booth 19 (flat backwall) and Booth 18 (curved backwall), each with a header, tablet stand, podium case and LED lights. For a 10x20 space, Booth J is the most economical. Because the frames are reusable, later shows only need new graphics, which makes any kit a good long-term investment for your brand.

PrintMagic booth frames are tool-free, so most displays go up in about 10 minutes each with two people. A full 10x10 kit is usually ready well within an hour. Every kit has a downloadable installation guide.

It depends on the show. Many follow industry guidelines that cap inline booths (10x10 and 10x20) at 8 ft high, with lower limits near the aisle, while island booths usually allow more height. Check your exhibitor manual and compare it to the tallest component listed on each product page.

No. Kits with a monitor bracket or monitor stand include the mount, and you bring your own screen. Monitor brackets hold a screen up to about 40" and 32 lbs with standard VESA mounting.

The graphics are dye-sublimated stretch fabric. The ink becomes part of the fabric, so colors stay bright and don't crack or peel, and the fabric stretches tight over the frame so wrinkles pull out.

Yes. The aluminum frames are built for many shows. When your message changes, order Graphic Only to reprint just the fabric for the frames you already own.

Graphic + Frame is the complete booth kit, with every printed graphic plus all frames, hardware and accessories. Graphic Only is just the printed fabric graphics, made to fit frames you already own. Both options come with a free template, a proof and a choice of 7–9 or 10–12 business day production.

Most 10x10 kits ship in one package, and 10x20 kits ship in 2–4 packages. Each product page lists the package count, sizes and total weight. Most kits pack into a hard case that converts into a printed podium, so the packaging travels with you to every show.

A PrintMagic 10x10 booth kit weighs 62–104 lbs packed, and most come in around 75–85 lbs. A 10x20 kit weighs 100–160 lbs across 2–4 packages. Fabric graphics and aluminum frames keep the weight down, which also helps with show freight handling charges.

Booth kits are sold as shown. Items can't be bought separately or swapped between kits. Compare kits with the booth finder above, or request a custom quote if you need a different mix.

Order at least 4–5 weeks before the show. That leaves time to design, approve your proof, produce the kit in 7–9 or 10–12 business days, ship it and do a practice setup.

Yes. If you're ordering at the last minute, we can ship your booth straight to your conference or convention center. You pay for one shipment instead of two and skip carrying the boxes, but you'll assemble it for the first time on-site. Follow the address, labeling and delivery dates in your exhibitor kit, and download the booth's installation guide before you go.

Yes. Every booth has a free PDF template with each graphic at its exact size and the safe area marked. We send a proof before anything prints.

Send a single-page PDF, JPG, PNG or another common image format in CMYK at 150 dpi at full size, up to 300 MB. Build artwork to the template, skip crop marks and bleeds, and outline your fonts.

Yes. If you only need a branded backdrop, choose a straight or curved tension fabric display, or a Velcro pop up display. Both styles offer a hard case that converts into a printed podium if you need a counter too. For the most economical backdrop-only option, choose a step and repeat banner.

An inline booth sits in a row with neighbors on both sides and is open to one aisle, like a 10x10 or 10x20. An island booth is open on all four sides, like a 20x20, so it's designed to be seen from every direction.
