The 40 ft. Inline Exhibit Challenge

January 28th, 2025 COMMENTS
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.

Size matters… but so does the shape and your trade show goals. Click HERE to download the unbranded version shown below.

Three Recent Gravitee One-Step Modular Island Videos

February 6th, 2018 COMMENTS

Gravitee Trade Show Island Exhibit

Over the past several months, Kevin Schuhl, a Classic Exhibits designer, has perfected 360° “Fly-Through” videos of Gravitee One-Step Islands. It hasn’t been easy, but the results are truly remarkable.

I won’t pretend to understand the process, but I know from talking to him that it’s time-intensive. For each one, he has to create the flight path and the specific lighting. Then there’s the computer rendering, which he often launches before heading home or going to bed. After that, Kevin tweaks it multiple times to get it just right. Then it goes to Glenna Martin, our Graphic Design Manager, who adds the title slides, music, and text before uploading it to YouTube.

The results are impressive as you can see below. Each video shows a full 360º view. Sort of like having a hovercraft on the show floor. HUGE kudos to Kevin and to Glenna.

Below are three recent ones. To see them all, visit the Classic Exhibits Channel on YouTube.
