Rental Exhibit More Than 400 sf

Category: Rental Exhibit More Than 400 sf
Exhibitor: Motorola Mobility LLC
Design: Event Strategy Group
Fabrication: Classic Exhibits Inc.
Event: International Consumer Electronics Show 2024
Size: 50 x 60

They say there’s no place like home. But at the 2024 International Consumer Electronics Show, Motorola Mobility LLC proved there’s no home quite like a smart home. The firm transformed 3,000 square feet of convention center concrete into a technological tribute to domestic tranquility that made even jaded tech journalists want to kick off their shoes and stay a while.

Working with Event Strategy Group (ESG) and Classic Exhibits Inc., the team orchestrated a series of themed product areas that flowed together like well-appointed rooms in an upscale home. The strategic use of Gravitee One-Step Modular wall panels and ClassicModul Aluminum Extrusions created distinct environments that invited exploration while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic.

“They turned technology into interior design,” observed one judge, praising how the exhibit elevated consumer electronics into lifestyle statements. The muted color palette, architectural lighting, and premium finishes transformed what could have been a sterile tech display into an inviting domestic environment. Plus, by combining rental components with premium finishes, the space achieved a luxurious feel without breaking the budget.

In the end, Motorola didn’t just showcase devices. They showed us how seamlessly technology could integrate into the art of living well.

Inline Exhibit

Category: Inline Exhibit
Exhibitor: Classic Exhibits Inc.
Design: Classic Exhibits
Fabrication: Classic Exhibits
Event: EXHIBITORLIVE 2024
Size: 10 x 30

Can a 10-by-30-foot space truly command attention at a bustling trade show like EXHIBITORLIVE? Classic Exhibits Inc. proved it can. Its 2024 exhibit showcased how impactful design, combined with subtle sophistication, can create an experience that far exceeds its physical footprint.

Rising 14 feet above the show floor, a commanding LED back wall anchored the space, while lenticular walls created an unexpected analog activity. One judge praised the design as “a masterful blend of manufacturing prowess and artistic restraint,” noting how visitors were naturally drawn to discover different messages hidden within the shifting patterns as they moved through the space.

Classic Exhibits created an environment that served as a living portfolio of its capabilities, featuring custom wood-build elements, Gravitee modular wall panels, and SuperNova light boxes. Inside a private meeting area, a circular lightbox fostered an inviting atmosphere, its plant imagery softened by ghosted word art that subtly referenced company values.

The coordinated LED content on the main wall and front counters cycled through capabilities demonstrations and moments of branded serenity. The combined effect clearly communicated the firm’s capabilities and brand values, showcasing both practical demonstrations and moments of visual calm.

Island Exhibit 900 sf and Fewer

Category: Island Exhibit 900 sf and Fewer
Exhibitor: Talos Engineered Products LLC
Design: Zilla LLC
Fabrication: Classic Exhibits
Event: MODEX 2024
Size: 20 x 40

How do you make warehouse logistics look like a blockbuster attraction? While some might reach for smoke and mirrors, Talos Engineered Products LLC opted for slotted walls and LED lighting — and created such a compelling environment at MODEX 2024 that it established a new benchmark for innovative exhibit design in the logistics industry.

The 20-by-40-foot island exhibit, designed by Zilla LLC and fabricated by Classic Exhibits Inc., made an immediate impact with its massive Aero Frame sign featuring dimensional logos that commanded attention from every angle. Below, dimensional slotted wall panels illuminated by green LED lighting created a distinctive branded environment that one judge praised as “a perfect marriage of form and function.”

Throughout the space, custom counters and desks provided ample workspace for demonstrations and conversations, while cleverly integrated storage areas kept marketing materials and promotional items close at hand. The layout maintained generous open floor space for potential equipment displays while offering numerous meeting areas for both casual and semi-private discussions.

Most impressively, every element was engineered for flexibility — from the modular wood walls to the structural supports — allowing the exhibit to be reconfigured for different show environments while maintaining its custom appearance.

For over 30 years, Classic Exhibits has been designing and building creative custom solutions for our Distributor Partners and their clients. As North America’s largest private-label exhibit manufacturer, we have the unmatched capability, capacity, and creativity to create 3D projects ranging from 10 x 10 inline displays to 60 x 80 double-deck islands.

Thoughts on EXHIBITORLIVE 2025

March 25th, 2025 Harold Mintz 2 COMMENTS
EXHIBITORLIVE 2025

“Where are you going this time?”

It’s a frequent question for trade show people, like you and me. Vegas? Orlando? Chicago? This week it was San Antonio, TX to attend the trade show about trade shows... EXHIBITORLIVE.

Here’s how my trip started. My supportive wife dropped me off at LAX, but the trip took longer than normal because the recent Los Angeles fires had shut down the Pacific Coast Highway. It now takes longer to drive to the airport than it does to fly from LA to San Antonio. Sorry, Sue. You’re the best Uber driver ever.

Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center
Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center

After checking in to the hotel, I quickly headed over to the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. I grabbed my badge and walked on to the chaotic show floor. We’ve all seen this before. It doesn’t look remotely possible that this cavernous and disheveled hall overflowing with crates and bodies will ever be ready for the show opening in two days. But it will. We’re show folk. It’s what we do.

EXHIBITORLIVE: Day 1 and 2

EXHIBITORLIVE 2025

Day One. Once the doors opened, the foot traffic in the Classic Exhibits’ booth was busy. Not as busy as it used to be 4-5 years ago, but busier than I’d expected. The number of exhibitors at EXHIBITORLIVE continues to shrink. Exhibition companies that were regulars are no shows, even if they still walk the floor. As a result, EXHIBITORLIVE is now a 2-day, not a 3-day show that starts at midday, so fewer show hours. Everyone is trying to wring as many leads out of the diminished show hours and attendees as possible.  

Wednesday morning… the second/last day of the show. I was too busy on day one so the first thing I walked the show floor to check out everyone else’s booth. There were some real beauties this year. Our industry dresses up quite well.

I eventually found myself standing in front of The Exhibitor Advocate booth. Staffing the booth was Amanda Helgemoe. It was the first time we’d had a chance to chat in quite a while. For me that’s probably the most enjoyable part of attending EXHIBITORLIVE… getting to see/blab/hang with friends we only get to see once or twice a year.

After our chat, Amanda asked to take my picture with her swanky Polaroid camera. The Exhibitor Advocate team was snapping pix and asking folks to write in how many years they’d been in the biz on the bottom of the Polaroid. They then posted it on their backwall along with hundreds of other industry peeps.

45 Years?

TS2 2006
TS2 2006

And that’s when I kinda froze. How long have I been in the biz? My first real job out of college was working with CES, at the time the largest trade show in the country. That was in 1980. Well, it’s now 2025. In my head I started calculating… 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020, 2025… 45 years? 45 YEARS??! How is that even possible? I don’t feel like I’m that old. Have I become… one of them?

Them… you know who I mean. No matter how old you are or how many years you’ve been in the business, you can recall walking your first EXHIBITORLIVE or TS2 or Exhibit Builder… and seeing them sprinkled around the show floor. The industry vets. The iconic pillars on whose backs this creative, intimate, unique industry was built. The ones who’d already walked miles and miles of aisles.

Jack Wayman (CES), Larry Crumlish and Rick Kent (The Exhibit Store), Joan Carol (The Joan Carol Group), Pat Rodgers (Exhibigrafix), Bruce Deckel (Deckel and Moneypenny), Trudy Graham (TG and Associates), Gordon Savoie (Skyline), Brenda Keiner (Grondorff, Field and Black), Irving Sacks (Sacks Exhibits). These were my industry icons. I’m sure you have your own.

Significant Changes Over the Years

I’ve witnessed significant changes in our industry over the past 45 years.

  • I watched in awe as the first Gerber machines started cutting a roll of bright red vinyl eventually replacing the steady-handed sign painters and silk screeners.
  • I saw portable exhibits go from folding panel systems to pop-ups to modular systems.
  • I sold 10’ pop-up displays back in the day when you could ask $8000 for one and get it!

And probably my favorite observation, I’ve watched dozens and dozens of young people that I’d hired and/or trained over the years still running around the show floor and still working in this nutty biz. THIS provides me with immense pleasure. To have helped open the door to so many is immeasurably gratifying. 

Over time, everything changes. Show hours, the hottest trends, technology and the faces of our industry. All different today than they were yesterday. But one thing stays the same… that’s the feeling you get when you step foot onto the show floor.

For those icons who paved the way for me, the ones who spent extra time teaching me the ropes, the ones who always made me feel part of a special club, the word thanks doesn’t nearly come close enough to express my gratitude. Whether this was your first EXHIBITORLIVEor your 36th I hope you continue to find that same joy that you did on your Day One.

Eco-Friendly Displays for Renewable Energy Events

Sustainable or eco-friendly trade show exhibits are no longer a niche within the exhibit industry. Exhibitors have spoken and are demanding greener solutions that fulfill their company’s sustainable mission. Some exhibitors assume an eco-friendly trade show booth should be chunky, clunky, and crunchy. They can be, but most are contemporary designs that are indistinguishable from any other exhibit on the trade show floor. For example, Eco-systems Exhibits are modern, modular exhibits with choices ranging in both price and size. 

At renewable energy events, eco-friendly displays are more of an expectation. But don’t feel like you have to jump into the sustainable pool headfirst. It’s not an either/or choice. There’s a middle ground where you can make sustainable choices that align with your marketing goals and budget without going 100 percent granola. Whether you opt for 75-, 50-, or even 30-percent sustainable components, you’re still making a big impact. Here are several eco-friendly, mix-and-match ways to decrease the environmental impact of your exhibit.

Green Printing. There’s a wide range of sustainable options for direct prints and on recycled fabric, even backlighting. 

Rentals: Rentals exhibits are the ultimate sustainable solution. And very cost-effective. However, your booth doesn’t need to be 100% rental. Consider adding custom exhibit components for the best of both worlds. 

Modular Wall Systems:  Aluminum modular wall systems dominate the trade show floor. They’re lightweight, reconfigurable, attractive, and even recyclable. As a bonus, the modularity makes it perfect for an exhibitor with a heavy trade show schedule that includes a range of inline and island sizes. 

LED Lighting: Halogen, incandescent, and fluorescent lights have largely disappeared from the trade show floor. And no one misses them. The switch to LEDs has expanded the lighting possibilities to backlit graphics, accent lighting, and logos. It’s even gotten easier to backlight hanging signs. If you have a booth with energy-intensive lighting, it’s time to upgrade. The cost is reasonable, and the lights will almost always outlast your exhibit.

Most exhibit builders have access to sustainable building materials. And designing and building with those materials is no different than using the non-sustainable options. An eco-friendly booth will look the same, have the same build quality, and be equal in performance.

Tariffs, Prices, and the Exhibit Industry

February 27th, 2025 Kevin Carty 3 COMMENTS
Tariffs and the Exhibit Industry
The Exhibit Industry and Tariffs

Classic Distributor Partners and Friends:

Lots of questions, speculation, and intrigue are swirling around tariffs and all things tariff related. Even if you try to avoid the news, you’re still hearing about tariffs along with inflation, gas, and eggs.

Kevin Carty, Classic Exhibits
Kevin Carty, Classic Exhibits

So the big question is — “Will this affect Classic’s prices?”  Which is a fair question since Classic, like other builders, uses a lot of aluminum, which is tied to the 232 tariff on steel and aluminum.

Short and simple answer is prices will increase on selective items. No companies can absorb the ongoing increases along with those in March. Some suppliers have intimated that these increases will not impact their pricing. Frankly, that’s foolish to say or to believe.

Classic’s History with Imports

Allow me to share some history (and to cushion the overall message). Years ago, we (Classic) moved several profiles from China due to the ADD law/ruling (see definition below).

We “onshored” those profiles to domestic extruders, then made secondary dies for about 12 common profiles for a supplier in Vietnam. As a result, the original China tariffs were negligible, but the ADD fees on our containers from Vietnam have continued to increase.

So, what about the price increases? Over the past few years, we have absorbed some of the increases rather than implementing across the board price changes. Instead, we made targeted increases based on those materials. It made no sense to increase an entire kit design by 25% when the laminated wood components and graphics weren’t affected.

Starting in March, if you purchase aluminum components from us or a Gravitee Modular Frame, it will be a bit more. Ranging from 8% to 15% depending on the profile and where we have it pressed.

Now, here’s where the tariffs get a bit more complicated. For example, why would any of the profiles you press in the US be increased? Well, the “devil is in details.” Most of the aluminum billets used at USA extrusion plants come from offshore locations. As their prices increase, they pass those prices along to us.  

Are you still with me? I know this isn’t a sexy topic. Bear with me a little longer as I share some tariff background.

Engineered Aluminum Extrusion

Background Information about 232 and 301 Tariffs

Rob Cohen from DSL and I have represented our industry, via EDPA Advocacy, on all things tariff related for the past 6-7 years now. We speak monthly with other industries and to countless elected officials in and around DC.

Here are some Cliff Notes that I think are important as you absorb the news regarding tariffs. Specifically, the 232 and the 301 tariffs:

232 – Steel and Aluminum Tariff

301 – Finished Goods Tariff – electronics, machinery, toys, plastics and much more

1. Tariffs are apolitical

  • Trump 1.0 Tariffs added to China
  • Biden renewed the tariffs as they were set to expire and was working on and implementing increases and expansion to tariffs during his 4-year term
  • Trump 2.0 tariffs
  • Tariffs have generated over $300 BILLION in revenue for the US government. (do you think they want to see that go away?)

2. Section 232 and 301 tariffs are two different categories of tariffs on top of tariffs that already existed

3. No Exemptions

Under the new additional proposed tariffs (going into effect in March 2025) – there is no right to file for any exemptions or exclusionary language.

This is the HUGE detail that gets overlooked by many. Basically, even if you are a top 10 business in the US economy, after March 12, 2025 all tariffs in place, existing, additional or reciprocal, will affect ALL US Businesses bringing items in from offshore

4. Congress has no authority to legislate tariffs! None.

  • The US Trade Representative (USTR) has this authority and is guided by the Executive Branch (President) only

5. As of today –

Tariffs are to be imposed on goods from ALL countries that apply tariffs to the importation of goods from the US

6. We get asked all the time.

  • “Can’t you just get the materials you need in another country?” NO, all countries are now “likely” to subject to the tariffs in the coming weeks/months and varying percentage rates.
  • It’s very expensive to get new safety listings (UL) for electrical parts – New molds for extrusions…items like this must be created new when you change factories let along countries. And even in the US you cannot use the same molds or listings from one factory to the next
  • We have not even discussed the subject of the cost of mfg in the USA

7. General matters to consider:

  • The HTS code assigned to a product impacts the amount of the tariff to be paid
  • Companies cannot stop innovating because of the imposition of tariffs.  We must continue to still be creative and develop products that will enhance face to face marketing
  • We are all in the same “boat” professionally and personally
  • There is a workforce development challenge in the US. Even if we were to move all manufacturing back to the US – the workforce does not exist to handle the additional manufacturing load
  • Last 12 months have shown a decline in the number of people who are members of unions.
  • Many of the NEW tariffs coming are not “replacing” the existing ones, they are being layered atop the existing ones
  • Port fees go much further than just the tariffs you hear daily about today in the news. With aluminum for example you have the ADD fees (Anti-Dumping fees) which can range from 25% to 125% of the invoice value of the material you are bringing in depending on which country it is coming from. This determination is made by CBP (customs) at the port based on your manifested items
  • A BIG note worth mentioning is the specifying language now in the ADD documentation. It specifically includes “tradeshow display fixtures and framing”

This is all a moving target so be watchful of “reciprocal” tariff talk. It could be even more impactful on us all, again personally and professionally.

In Simple Terms

Let’s look at Indonesia. Indonesia charges approx. 37% tariff on all US imports. So, if the current administration decides to apply a reciprocal tariff to all things coming from Indonesia, then we would need to consider the impact. Look at the volume of plywood (various species) used in the US for home building, exhibit building, and more. Many retailers and lumber brokers source from Brazil, Indonesia, Vietnam, Canada and Europe for our sheet goods (wood).

I don’t say this to scare anyone. Rather you need to be prepared should the reciprocal tariffs take effect in any meaningful way in the coming months.

Again, my apologies for this long-winded update/post, but I wanted to give you some context to the “why” when it comes to any price increases you may see not only from Classic but also from all suppliers.  

I thank you all for your ongoing partnership for the past 33 years. We are grateful for your trust in us as your private label manufacturer.

Classic Exhibits Awarded EDPA 2024 Sustainability Award

February 24th, 2025 Mel White COMMENTS
Classic Exhibits EDPA Eddie Sustainability Award

In December 2024, Classic Exhibits was honored at EDPA ACCESS with the Eddie Award for Best Sustainability.

Since 2007, Classic Exhibits has produced 1000s of sustainable exhibits through its Eco-Systems ecoSmart line. No other display manufacturer has been as committed to offering affordable eco-friendly displays than Classic Exhibits.

EDPA Sustainability Award
Sustainability Award

Sustainability in the exhibit industry has gone through periodic waves of interest, both by exhibitors and builders. Builders are quick to promote their green credentials when sustainability is fashionable and ignore it when it isn’t. Exhibitors want green options if the prices are comparable to non-eco-friendly alternatives and the designs are competitive.

During those ups and downs, our commitment hasn’t wavered. We’ve expanded the design choices and fine-tuned the materials, so the costs are comparable to our non-sustainable displays.

Our sincere thanks to EDPA for the recognition and to the Classic Distributor Network for trusting us for their sustainable exhibit needs.
