The 40 ft. Inline Exhibit Challenge

VK-4051 | 10 x 20 Custom Inline Exhibit

Does the size of your exhibit matter? Yes, but perhaps not in the way you think. Let’s say you budgeted for 400 sq. ft., which typically translates into a 20 20 island exhibit. Islands have advantages. They’re usually centrally located. They are surrounded by four aisles. They’re not limited in height to 8 ft. And an overhead hanging sign is an option. Choosing an island exhibit is a tried-and-true decision that maximizes your visibility on the trade show floor.

However, not everyone wants an island exhibit, even if they have the budget for one. It can be challenging to present multiple product lines or create individual vignettes. Also, depending on the design, access to the booth and greeting attendees on four aisles can be challenging.

An inline, specifically a 10 x 40 inline, solves those challenges. There’s only one aisle to cover. Access is straightforward. And the linear shape allows for a segmented but visually cohesive design. Most trade shows have linear space next to islands, and show organizers are happy to combine (4) 10 x 10 spaces into (1) 10 x 40.

The Perfect 10 x 40 Inline Exhibit

The VK-4051 is a perfect example of how a 40 ft. linear exhibit can be both beautiful and functional. The custom inline breaks the 40 ft. linear space into three distinct sections, each functioning independently and cohesively.

On the left is an upscale bar with storage and a backlit logo. Behind the bar are shelves and backlit fabric graphics. The center section features a faux ivy product display wall, shelves, an opening for a refrigerator, and walk-in closet storage. To the right is a monitor mount, casual seating area, and backlit fabric graphics.
