What Does Portable Modular Really Mean?

Trade Show Blog

Here’s a Trade Show Insider’s Tip

The term “portable modular” is a slippery term. Probably 80-90% of the displays described as “portable modular” are rarely both. Those with both features are often compromised by complexity, poor quality, or the availability of accessories.  

Yet, many exhibitors need a display that’s portable and modular, either for budgetary reasons or for configuration flexibility. In short, they want a reconfigurable portable display with practical accessories that doesn’t require a mechanical engineering degree and packaging that’s logical, expandable, and durable.

Symphony Portable Displays

To be fair, there are several well-designed display systems that are both portable and modular. The Symphony Portable Display System being one of them. Symphony has 5 advantages over other portable modular choices:

5 Symphony Advantages

#1. Engineered Aluminum Extrusion. This makes it both structural (think larger monitors) and durable (think years of service, rather than months)

#2. Tool-less Assembly: Both the frame and all the accessories are tool free.

#3. Upscale Accessories: No other system includes an array of accessories like wireless charging, locking iPad clamshells, shelves, and 10 portable counters.

#4. Die-cut Foam Packaging: There’s no guesswork with Symphony. Every part has a specific slot, and the packaging is designed to last show after show.

#5. Classic’s Exceptional Service and Quality. But you knew this already.
