Trade Show Marketing Blog

MODdisplays is pleased to announce the launch of our new graphics upload system, which is 200% faster and much more reliable than our previous system. As always, we are able to process files as large as 2GB through our upload system, and all of our files are reviewed and processed by our team of in-house graphic designers. Unlike many companies, our graphic designers spend their days working with large format trade show graphics, and they specialize in providing quality output for exhibiting systems.

Our new graphics upload system makes use of a server that is specifically formatted to accept large file transfers, which ensures that your file is uploaded quickly and smoothly. If you have questions about our file upload system or our graphics requirements, please call 877.663.3976 and press 2 for graphics, or email graphics@moddisplays.com.

Most exhibitors start out with table top displays and progress to larger exhibits as their trade show marketing program picks up steam.

These options allow exhibitors to make a big impact on a small marketing budget, making their trade shows more profitable than ever before.

Waveline displays are the most exciting trade show exhibit system to hit the market in a long time. Although they look a lot like popup displays, Waveline booths offer a lot more value for a much lower price. We are excited about the customer feedback we have received so far, and we believe that these displays will help exhibitors make the most of their trade show marketing budget. We are proud to offer a system that offers a number of advantages over traditional trade show displays, such as…

1- Waveline displays are the most affordable 10ft displays available. Purchasing an entire 10ft display with complete graphics for $845 was unheard of until now. Since Waveline units cost less than many tabletop displays, exhibitors are able to move up to bigger and more exciting venues and do more with their marketing budget.

2- The graphics for Waveline displays are produced using the latest technology in large format printing. Every Waveline display is produced using a process called dye sublimation. This process creates a durable, machine-washable fabric graphic that is guaranteed never to wrinkle or fade for as long as you own your exhibit. Dye sublimation graphics are simply better than the graphics you would receive with a traditional popup display.

3-  Setup takes less than 5 minutes. Assembling a Waveline display is very easy. The frame of the display is made from lightweight aluminum tubing that is shock-corded together for easy assembly, and the fabric graphic fits over the frame like a pillow case to create a smooth, curved wall. A sales person working alone could put together then entire exhibit with no stress at all.

As with all of our trade show displays, MODdisplays provides detailed graphic templates that make designing your exhibit a breeze, or you can let us design your exhibit for you at no charge. Every Waveline display comes with detailed setup instructions that are easy to follow, and those can be found on our website as well. If you have any doubts that this is the most exciting new trade show booth to hit the market in years, call our helpful staff at 877.663.3976 or email sales@moddisplays.com.

MODdisplays is proud to introduce the Waveline system, our most affordable 10ft. trade show display yet. Starting at only $745, Waveline exhibit packages offer the same look and feel as traditional popup displays, but without the expensive price tag.

The structure of Waveline displays is made from durable 1-1/4″ aluminum tubing. No tools are required in the setup process, and the entire system can be set up in as little as 5 minutes.

Instead of traditional popup display panels, the Waveline uses dye sublimated fabric to stretch over the structure of the exhibit. The fabric is durable, washable, and wrinkle-resistant, and closes firmly using a zipper system.

Typical popup display accessories are available such as case to counter systems and overhead lighting. Purchasing a full-featured 10′ x 10′ Waveline booth will cost as little as $1,195. The quality of the Waveline display is unmatched in its pricing category.

MODdisplays is proud to announce the release of Alumalite Lineare exhibits. This unique system will compliment our already successful line of classic Alumalite displays. Every Lineare system we sell comes complete with a hinged, backlit header system and reflector panels to create a powerful graphic presence on the top of your booth. Instead of using feet (like the classic Alumalite displays), the Lineare uses returns on both ends of the exhibit for a more finished look.

In addition to traditional Alumalite accessories (such as monitor mounts, literature holders, and product shelves), there are a number of new accessories available with the Lineare system. The counter systems have been completely redesigned for a more sleek look and easier packaging, and the side panels can be customized with slatwall, which is perfect for hanging products or promotional items.

The basic structure of the Lineare exhibit system ships in two rotomolded, wheeled cases that are 51″w x 35″l x 15″h and weigh 150lbs. The entire system can be set up using only the tools provided, which means your company can save a lot of money on labor at your next event without sacrificing the look of a unique, custom trade show booth.

If you have questions about the Alumalite Lineare, please contact our helpful staff at 877.663.3976 or email sales@moddisplays.com.

At MODdisplays, we believe that we have found the ideal balance between custom exhibits and stocked exhibits. Using only stocked hardware, every trade show display we sell can be packaged and shipped in a matter of days, but our flexible modular exhibit lines allow for virtually limitless customization. With MODdisplays, you get the convenience and rapid turnaround times of a portable exhibit retailer with the flexibility and versatility of a custom exhibit house.

Because we can create custom-looking trade show displays from stocked exhibit hardware, we are able to keep our costs down and streamline the process of ordering exhibits online. Our catalog of stocked components is enormous, and it never stops growing. Whether you need literature shelves, monitor mounts, counter systems, light fixtures, or product shelves, we can meet your needs at affordable prices with lightning quick turnaround times.

You’re probably as tired as we are of the endless bickering between exhibit houses about whether custom exhibits or stocked exhibits are better, so why not experience the best of both worlds by purchasing your next trade show booth from MODdisplays? Call 877.MOD.EXPO or email sales@moddisplays.com for more details.

MODdisplays now offers three additional styles of our soft wood flooring. In addition to light oak and dark oak flooring, we now offer our soft flooring in walnut, cherry, and red oak. Soft wood flooring is our most popular flooring solution, and these new colors are a great complement to our selection.

All of our soft wood flooring is 5/8″ thick, which provides exhibitors and attendees with plenty of cushioning during the show. Each 2′ x 2′ section of flooring comes with its own set of end and corner pieces (as pictured), which means you can make a variety of shapes with your flooring beyond just a simple 10′ x 10′ square. Unlike with large sections of roll flooring, if your tiles ever become dirty or damaged, you can replace them individually.

We are very excited about offering these new colors, as we have received many requests for better flooring selection in the past. If you have any questions or comments about our trade show flooring section, let us know! To order your own section of exhibit flooring, call 877.663.3976 or email sales@moddisplays for details.
