The Rental Advantage in our work.
Six reasons growing brands choose to rent over owning, paired with examples from our floor.
All World Machinery at IMTS.
The Brief
A major peninsula at IMTS, without the capital commitment of ownership.
All World Machinery Supply needed a commanding 35′×70′ peninsula at IMTS, the largest manufacturing technology show in the Western Hemisphere, to showcase machine tools and stand shoulder to shoulder with much larger competitors. They wanted the look of a fully owned custom build with the cost profile of a rental.
Rental FAQs
The real questions marketing teams ask before committing to a custom rental exhibit program.
A full turn-key program. That means custom design, structural hardware, SEG fabric graphics, AV and lighting integration, flooring, freight, install and dismantle, and show-site supervision. You get a single point of contact and a single invoice. We handle the moving parts so your team can focus on the show, not the logistics.
4 to 6 weeks is standard for repeat rentals or modular rental kits with no modifications and no new graphics. 6 to 8 weeks if we are repainting, reprinting, or adding lighting and counters. 8 weeks or more for a fully custom rental with original design, new graphics, and AV integration. We have pulled off faster turnarounds, but the earlier you engage us, the more we can layer in.
They will not know. Our rentals are built on the same modular framework and SEG fabric system we use for custom purchase builds. Every surface is printed for your brand, every feature is designed around your goals. Attendees see a fully branded environment. The rental happens invisibly in the background.
Everything from a 10′×10′ inline to a 50′×80′ peninsula or larger island. We regularly build rentals in the 20′×20′ to 40′×60′ range with meeting rooms, product showcases, hanging signs, and integrated AV. Size flexes to the show. The design scales with it.
We dismantle it, ship it back to our Des Plaines facility, inspect it, and recondition it for the next program. Your graphics are either returned to you, stored with us, or recycled, your call. No warehouse bill, no disposal headache, no dismantle coordination on your calendar.
Absolutely, and it is one of the smartest ways to stretch your exhibit budget across a full calendar year. We store the graphics between shows, redeploy them onto a rental structure tailored to each venue’s footprint, and swap in updates only where needed. Same brand story, different stage, minimal waste.
Yes, and it is a common play. Many clients own a core set of branded elements, a product showcase, a signature hanging sign, a demo station, and rent the rest of the footprint to match the show. We coordinate the structural integration, so the hybrid booth reads as one seamless environment on the show floor.
Renting usually wins when you exhibit 1 to 3 times a year, your footprint changes show to show, you want to pilot a bigger presence, or your branding is actively evolving. Ownership often wins at higher show volume with a stable booth size and brand. We are happy to walk through the math with you, both options on the same page, and help you choose what actually fits your program.
