Renting a Trade Show Exhibit Shouldn’t Be Stressful

November 12th, 2024 COMMENTS

Purchasing a car is stressful. Renting an exhibit shouldn’t be. Yet, many exhibitors experience the same anxiety as buying a used car from Manny’s MotorWorld Emporium. And who can blame them. They’re spending big bucks but don’t know if their rental will arrive on time, assemble easily, and look stunning. 

At Classic Rental Solutions, we hate stress, so we’ve created services and processes to minimize it — starting with design and ending with the return. For example:

Rental Island Exhibits with Round Hanging Signs

October 7th, 2024 COMMENTS

Big round hanging signs will always attract crowds, like bees to nectar. The rental island designs RE-9196, RE-9197, and RE-9198 all have round hanging signs but in three variations. From a straightforward 16 ft. diameter sign to 16 ft. circles inset with a 12 ft. flat or 3D signs. 

Inside the booth are double-sided curved walls with fabric graphics, a casual meeting space with charging tables, and counters, including large RE-1597 reception counters. The designs also include optional rental monitors, furniture, and plants. 

Uncertain about the overhead hanging signs… ask us to quote the designs without them.

Bigger, Bolder, and Brighter Rental Exhibit Designs

Trade Show Rental Exhibits

If you had to pick a post-COVID design trend, would you have picked rental exhibits with lightboxes? Probably, but would you have guessed that nearly 80% of our island and inline rental orders have lightboxes?

It Kinda Makes Sense

First, lightboxes aren’t much more expensive than non-backlit solutions. Secondly, our rental inventory is deep in SuperNova and Gravitee frames. These two systems connect seamlessly and assemble without tools. As a result, their competitive prices, design flexibility, and ease-of-use makes them popular choices for designers and exhibitors. 

This week, we feature three new Rental Lightbox Designs — (2) 10 x 20’s and (1) 10 x 30.

  • RE-2123 uses a massive lightbox as a backdrop for three monitor kiosks. Along with two counters with backlighting
  • RE-2124 is a series of connected lightboxes in a step-pattern. “Stepping” is increasingly popular since it adds visual depth and a creative use of space
  • RE-3008 is a 10 x 30. We’re seeing more requests for 30 ft. inlines as an alternative to islands. This design is amazing “as is” or as a starting point for customization.

RE-2123 — Large LED Lightbox

Description: Unique products deserve unique exhibit designs. And the RE-2123 doesn’t disappoint. The large SuperNova lightbox with SEG fabric graphics is the perfect backdrop for the three monitor stands. The left, right, and center lightboxes create an immersive environment that compliments the overall theme without distracting from the core focus — the monitor demo stations.

The 20 ft. inline also includes two stunning backlit reception counters with locking storage. The booth assembles quickly and packs flat in a crate for convenient shipping.  

RE-2124 — Lightbox Step Design

Description: The stepping creates visual depth and interest while allowing an exhibitor to tell a compelling story through a sequenced graphic presentation. The design includes ample room for a casual meeting space (which can be a challenge in an inline) and the charging table with LED accent lights creates a casual yet business-like setting. The RE-1567 reception counter has attractive backlit graphics and locking storage.

Lights combined with colorful graphics may be the single-most important key to attracting attention on the trade show floor. The RE-2124 turns the table on traditional lightbox designs by “stepping” (5) 4 ft. x 8 ft. individual lightboxes.

RE-3008 — Meeting Space w/ Lightboxes

Description: Versatile 10 x 30 inlines are increasingly becoming an attractive alternative to an island exhibit. The RE-3008 offers ample space for demos and meetings in a booth that’s built for maximum branding and constructive conversations with attendees.

It includes three large lightboxes with SEG fabric graphics with a double-sided lightbox closest to the aisle. There’s also a semi-private meeting area that includes a charging coffee table with LED accent lights and countertop branding. Bookending the meeting space are two genius bars for additional seating.
