Exhibit Rentals are Bigger, Brighter, and Bolder

May 27th, 2025 COMMENTS
Trade Show Rental Exhibit

Exhibit rentals have gotten bigger, brighter, and bolder. Which is good news for everyone. At Classic Rental Solutions (CRS), our island to inline mix is about 50/50. Many inlines combine Gravitee Modular Wall System, SuperNova lightboxes, and custom counters with locking storage.

Small is Beautiful

However, we also rent a significant number of basic 10 ft. displays w/ options. These include simple LED lightboxes, tube frames with pillowcase displays, and quite a few Symphony Portable flat and curved SEG frames. Not everyone wants to buy a trade show display.

Instead, they want a rental with the following features and benefits:

  • An easy-to-assemble, high-quality 10 ft. display with vibrant graphics
  • Choices. The freedom to create the optimal marketing experience at each show
  • Predictable delivery, installation, and dismantle (w/ no stress, no sweat)
  • No storage or turnkey charges ever!
  • An attractive, reliable display for a smaller trade show, event, or meeting

5 Examples

So what do we mean by basic 10 ft. exhibit rental displays w/ options? Here are 5 examples from the EDS Rental Inline Gallery:

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:

  • 1000’s of Photos of Previous Rentals (P5D)
  • Live Peek-a-Booth Hi-Resolution Webcams

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.
