Portable Trade Show Counters

Portable Trade Show Counters

Portable trade show counters get a bad rap… and it’s not unwarranted. They’re basic, inexpensive, and easy-to-assemble. Which makes them perfect for portable displays but largely ignored for modular or even custom designs. 

Let’s reset those expectations. At Classic, our portable counters are inexpensive and easy-to-assemble, just like all the others on the market. However, they are also stylish, functional, and include three features rarely found on other portable counters. 

1. Locking Door. Have you ever met an exhibitor who didn’t want secure storage? Of the 46 portable counters in Exhibit Design Search, 32 have a locking door. 
2. Secure Countertop. What’s the point of storage if the countertop isn’t attached to the base? Every Classic countertop — portable, modular, or custom – has a locking feature or attached countertop. 
3. Shelves. Shelves are important, whether internal or external, yet they’re often treated as a luxury. They’re not

Finally, with a few exceptions, you can choose any laminate, as long as you select standard laminates from the major manufacturers. That’s important! Below are examples of Symphony Portable Counters, some of our most popular portable counter designs.
